Chereads / Boy of Nowhere / Chapter 4 - The Other Child

Chapter 4 - The Other Child

Just as Yin was pulled by gray another boy watched him as he was pulled by Gray.

The Yin was thinly just like Yin and had brown hair unlike luc who had pitch black hair. The boy wore nothing but a piece of cloth wrapped around him leaving out the limbs but the thing that was really beautiful about him was his eyes, he had green eyes and not just any green the boy had the emerald green.

the boy was one of the slaves who were freed and were now slavering on the ship. Some pulled ropes some wiped the ship and some repaired the torn sails.

As the boy worked one of the men that worked on the ship neared the boy.

"Ai whazya' name, boy?"

the man asked as he stared at his eyes.

"Esma."

The boy replied .

"A girly name but whatever, go down the stairs and take the other boy to the cap'n's cabin."

Esma nodded and walked towards the ladder that went down the ship.

It was totally dark and only few rays of lights lit place.

"What do you want?"

Esma heard a voice behind him in the darkness.

Shocked Esma turned around and saw Yin staring at him with wide eyes as he slowly walked toward Esma.

"Esma...Stop!."

Gray shouted form behind and Yin's eyes immediately went back to normal.

"I-Ai a man said the captain called me and him to his ca-cabin."

Esma shakily said.

"I see, it's already that time. Alright now leave."

Esma began to leave and Yin followed and climbed up the ladder and when they reached the deck there were stairs, they ascended the stairs and there was a door in front of them with a golden ring.

Esma nocked with the golden ring and a voice came out of the cabin.

"Come in!"

The captain said, he had a deep voice and was very rough.

Esma pushed the door and turned his head as he looked in the black eyes of luc's he then walked forward and there was the dark cabin barely lit by orange yellow light of a lamp hanged in the middle of the ceiling.

Yin and Esma looked around moving there eyes observing the area. At one side of the cabin was shelves of books and a small round wooden table with a wooden chair near it on the table was a candle the size of a child's arm that lit the table with an open book.

Yin and Esma turned their heads and looked at the other side filled with weapons. Different types and sizes of guns and swords of different types.

They looked forward and saw a huge man facing them his face covered by darkness. All that could be seen was his brown coat and his wooden leg.

"So It's one o' ya, eh? The child o' prophecy?

The man said with his rough voice.

"Sa-Sire...It ca-cannot be I a-as i have not killed a human yet."

Esma said with his head down while he spoke with his shaky voice and fear in his eyes.

As he heard that the man burst out laughing.

"HAHAHAH....Ya think I have not seen it, ya think i has not seen you whisper in his ears and back away without making a single noise with those shackle?."

Esma immediately froze and his eyes widened as he slowly raised his head to look at the captain.

"I don't know what you are talking about sire."

Esma said as his fear vanished form his face and so did his emotions from his face.

Each one had different thoughts in the cabin.

The captain wanted to know which one of the boys is the child of prophecy while Yinblamed himself for pulling the trigger.

Even though Nik was struck by the death of his mother he wasn't really sad. He felt a heavy weight on his chest which seemed to disappear often but comes back whenever he thinks of his action not his mother. The weight on his heart comes back whenever he thinks of the action that he did and not the point that he killed his mother.

And then suddenly lightning struck and ship rose and fell on the tides and kept bouncing on while Yin and Esma were lifted off the deck and hit there head on the ceiling and fell on deck while the captain remained on the same place as he had grabbed a vertical rod on the side of the cabin.

As they both fell on the floor and exclaimed in pain that they hit their head.

The captain kept staring at them until a men burst through the door.

"CAP'N IT'S A STO'M WE NEED YOU IN THE WHEEL."

After saying that the man ran away with the door open.

The captain gave them a glare left the cabin with hard knocks on the floor with his wooden leg.

After the captain left silent fell in the cabin but still sounds thunder and roaring of the sea could be heard if focussed.

"Why?....Why did you want me to kill?"

Yin said as he lowered his head.

"Why did you shoot?"

Esma immediately dodged the question with another question while both of them getting their answers.

"Do you enjoy killing?"

Yin asked Esma as he raised up his head to face Esma.

"No... I just don't give a damn if someone lives or dies, that woman was being very annoying and when I looked your face...it was filled with disgust and hate...So I took my chances and gave you a push and you on yourself rolled away to kill her."

"Is that so? I already knew you were the one to kill her but it looked like my Amnesia or whatever took over and lately i got fragments of my memories and it all pointed towards you so i was furious about that."

Yin said with small smirk on his face that did not show a sign of arrogance.

"I know our eyes met for a second there."

Esma said as he gave back a smile.
