Harley held up his hand, “Wait, I dunno if Aleena will come. She’s pretty stubborn, so we might have to convince her.”
Harley held up his hand, “Wait, I dunno if Aleena will come. She’s pretty stubborn, so we might have to convince her.”
"Hmm? Oh… Aleena! Come on! If you don't come the spirits are gonna kill you! That's what Will said, anyways."
Simone quietly followed behind Lucas, just to make him feel better. She still didn't believe the 'spirits' but it seemed important to him.
Aleena ignored them and sat down where she was
Harley sighed, “Just like I suspected,” ge clicked his tongue, “Well, now I can show you how to act, Lucas.” he took a deep breath and yelled in a convincing voice, “Fire! Fire! There’s a fire on the deck! Aleena! Help! Fire!”
“HARLEY?!” She ran out. Seeing there was no fire she went back and sat down
Harley grabbed Aleena’s arm and dragged her to the deck, “You’re coming to the deck, it’ll only take a little while!”
“Let go of my arm.” She said through gritted teeth
“Nope!” Harley said in a sing-song tone.
She pushed him then pulled her arm back. Ignoring him, she walked over to the others
Harley grinned and followed after Aleena. When she stopped he rested his head in the nook of her shoulder.
William looked at the crew gathered, then at Lucas, “Good job. Now the spirits might consider helping us,” William looked into the eyes of each of the other crew memebers, frowning at the ones who hadn’t come the first time he called, “Shall we begin?”
She shrugged him off “Ger’off”
Harley put his head back onto Aleena’s shoulder, “Nope!”
“Ok seriously stop!” She said and walked away
Bahari hurried over to where a small crowd was gathering around William. Most looked skeptical, except Lucas, who appeared terrified. Her grandma had been a good witchdoctor, so she believed in the spirits, but she wasn't fully convinced of William's ability.
William didn’t look at the tarrot cards while he shuffled them. He closed his eyes and opened himself to the spirit world, becoming the small connection between their world and his. The necklace enhanced it a lot, enough to it was clear. Enough so he could try and speak with them…
“We are here. We need you help,” William whispered under his breath. The spirits pounded thoughts at his mind, so he added with a tight smile, “Speaking would be appreciated.”
The spirits obliged, and their voice became like a soft breeze around, speaking in languages human eyes couldn’t comprehend or learn. So William took a tarrot card and flipped it over. It was the Tower, reversed. William smiled as he glanced down at it, “Disaster avoided. Thank you,” He whispered, then dropped another card, it was upright Strength, “Thank you,” He whispered again, then dropped the last card, two of swords, “Difficult choices? Okay. Thank you my spirits for you time,” And like the flip of a switch, the hum in the air disappeared, the voices gone, and the necklaces gained a faint glow to them. William collapsed were he was, panting heavily and sweat beading down his face.
Ailith rushed over. “William!” She exclaimed, grabbing his wrist to check his pulse. She knew he wasn’t dead, though his pulse was still weaker than it should be. “Was this supposed to happen?!”
Bahari rushed over to William, kneeling over him. "The spirits have tired him. They are real. Necklace is only thing keeping alive." She glanced to Lucas. "Get the box with arrow!"
Ailith stared at her before back at William. “If the spirits are supposed to be helping us why would they nearly kill him?”
“I… Being… connection… hard…” William got out. The world was spinning around him, and he couldn’t even see who was talking to him.
“William, I swear to god if you pass out I’ll kill you.” She muttered, looking over him. “He needs water.”
"He has lots. He needs arrow!" Bahari insisted, gazing with intensity at the young boy.
“What’s some arrow going to do?” Ailith snapped.
"It is good. Now go get it!" Bahari urges.
“I don’t know where it is!” Ailith exclaimed. “I know medical stuff, not how to deal with exhaustion by spirits.” She muttered the last part to herself more than anyone else.
"I told Lucas to get it!" Bahari is yelling now.
Simone heard an angry Bahari, a worried Ailith, and a frozen Lucas. She ran to go retrieve the box and brought it near William. She opened it but didn't know what to do from there.
"Thank you, Simone." Bahari opened the box and pulled out an old arrowhead lined with yellow streaks. She prodded William with it in his forehead, letting a bead of blood form. She tucked the arrow back into the box and stepped away.
"Everybody back. He will be strange when he is awake." She explained.
(Did you mean William instead of Lucas?)
