He blocked with a side swipe again and went for a stab with the dagger. Aubra blocked it with her palm so blood dripped off her hand. He turned the dagger a little and she barely cringed. She grabbed the dagger, cutting her fingures, and pushed it back.
So now about five feet apart, glaring at each other then Aubra yells out randomly.
“Nib!” in a high pitched voice. His face went dumb with confusion.
“What the heck? Nib? What are you a cat or a mouse or something?” he asked stupidly.
She just smirked and held up his dagger. His eyes widened and checked his sleeve and pocket to find it not there. She then pulled out three more daggers and put two in each hand. He scowled and charged.
He got her shoulder but she stabbed him in the arm with two of the dagger. He went down to do an up kick into her chin but she jumped over him dropping the other two daggers.
He pulled the two daggers out and shot them at her. She dodged both of them. He smirked and she looked confused.
“This probably won’t end until your lil friends get up her.” He commented raising his hand with the two other daggers.
“Well either way that means I win then doesn’t it? All you have to do is give us the key back along with Alex and Hazel.” She panted.
“And all you have to do is tell me what this Emogin is and I’ll be gone.” His smirk grew wider then he struck the two daggers into the wooden deck and stood there. Aubra looked at them for a moment.
“Emogin: the thing to help rule the world. That’s all I know of,” She spat, “Now leave!”
He gave a little bow and said, “As you wish your highness, and thank you.” And he jumped off the ship onto his little row boat.
Grace and Sav at that moment came running on deck. Sav picked up the two daggers out of the deck and Grace went up to Aubra.
“Why does it seem we always get somewhere after something major happens?” Sav asked walking over to both of them.
“How should I know,” Aubra spat still in a terrible mood, “What do you want?!”
“Aubra….what happened while we were under deck?” Grace asked cautiously.
“Some guy came onto the ship…”
“And?”
“We fought because he wanted to know about the Emogin…”
“Anything else?”
“I told him that it will help rule the world and he left…”
“At least that’s all he got,” Sav said, “Don’t you need that book too?” Grace nodded, “So then there’s nothing to fret.”
Aubra shook her head slowly. “What if they kill Alex and Hazel now because they have nothing to offer?”
“They still don’t know where it is.” Sav said again.
Back on the Bloody Barren….
“What?! You mean to tell me you found out what it goes to but not where it is?!” Xay yelled.
“Well think of this, either they’ll know where it is, or it’s gunna be in a book somewhere. So why be worried?” Scar hummed. He liked not having to drive.
“Ya know, your lucky that I’m on this boat and that I wanna live cause there’s nothing keeping me from raming this ship to the bottom of the sea.” Hazel said turning the boat a little.
“Yes, but you won’t so that’s what matters.” Scar scoffed.
“So do you know where this Emogin is Hazel?” Xay asked.
Alex was sitting on the edge of the ship right next to Hazel and she was singing a little song quietly and Hazel was humming it. She started singing it with her.
“West side wind blowing to the east,
Carry me slowly to the gold,
Day by day, Night by night,
Never to cry again…
East we go
Morning ahead
Over the horizion there
Gone tomorrow
In the air
Never to die again…”
“That’s not very helpful.” Scar said.
“Dimwits,” Alex scoffed, “pay attention to the lyrics, east, morning, over, gone, in, never, what do the first initials in each word spell? Emogin! Duh! What do you think we were goin on that that key went to a music box?”
The two looked at the girls strangely. Hazel shrugged.
“She thought of it I think, I just remembered the song. The music box thing was her suggestion after that.” Hazel said definding her case.
Alex rolled her eyes, “Yeah, sell me out quick on a good thing.”
“I wasn’t selling you out, I was just simply informing.”
“Informing of something that just wasted some of my time with that.”
“Well so sorry about that.”
“No you aren’t”
“You’re right! Its amazing, I actually admitted that you were right.”
“Ya know just shut-”
“BOTH OF YOU SHUT YOUR PIE HOLES!” Xay yelled.
