Jade came out of the shadows as Alura went below deck. She had watched as Alura had performed her self induce penance and exile. Alura was just starting her journey and even if she didn’t realize it she would never be alone again. If Alura wished to punish herself Jade had no right to interfere. It had taken everything in Jade not to go to her as she scrubbed the decks. One day Alura you will realize that you do not have to be alone anymore thought Jade.
Jade held onto the rail as the breeze of the salt air filled her lungs. Captain Chuck was back to himself again and they where once again safe. The party had been fun. Jade had not dance in years and everyone was relaxing again. She went below deck and stopped at Alura’s door. Jade ran her fingertips over the door. She opened her mind and heart.
“Sleep and rest little one. You do not have to be alone unless you choice it”, she whisper in Alura’s mind.
Jade felt Alura’s body relax and waited until the dream she was dreaming faded.
“Peace be with you and for tonight no bad dream will disturb you”, Jade sent her love and acceptance to Alura as she whispered the spell.
Jade knew bonds she did not understand tied them together. She would wait until the knowledge was revealed to her but kissed Alura’s door. Jade walked to each door and touch it to ensure all was well. When she stopped at the captain’s door she smiled. Captain Chuck seemed to be quite recovered and enjoying WB’s company. Jade saved Nick’s door for last and as her hand touched the door it opened. She stood there as Amy gave her the once over.
”I was just checking to make sure Mick was okay”, Jade explained.
Jade was relieved when Amy gave her smile. This was one woman that she didn’t want to get on the bad side of.
“Nick is doing fine. He is a little sore from threading oil for so long. Do you think you can help”, asked Amy with a twinkle in her eyes.
“I will do whatever I can to help”, Jade replied. She was feeling a little unsure of what Amy was really asking her.
Amy laughed and gave Jade a hug.
“Captain Chuck will explain your duties and the rules of the ship later. You should get some sleep”, Amy said cheerfully as she led Jade back to her stateroom.
“Thank You Amy”, Jade said as she opened her cabin door.
”Your welcome and go to sleep”, commanded Amy.
“Yes Ma’am”, said Jade with a little salute.
Jade watch as Amy walked away chuckling at the lousy salute. Jade was starting to love the sound of laughter.
Jade crawled into bed and was fast asleep before her head hit the pillow.
