Callum left me after that, he didn't lock the door. He knew I have nowhere to go. My teary vision went towards the window, seeing Graviel's ship as we passed it by. Flames were starting to consume it and all I could do was stare at it helplessly. Knowing that my friend is still in there, bound on those dreaded chains, while I am here, could do nothing.
Begrudgingly, I forced myself to stand, wobbling with my unsteady knees, walking so slowly towards the window. I look down, my breath stuck in my throat. The waves were unforgiving unlike the ones in Barbados. If I jump, I would like to die instantly. Nobody would be there to pull me up, nor someone that would hold my head above the water.
