Chapter 18

Nia p.o.v

It was late by the time we finished talking to Jason so Roy offered to walk me back home. Roy since we are married I think it is too soon to move in with you. Roy will it be okay if I stay here at my parents house until I get used to the idea of being married? Yes Nia I understand besides I was going to suggest the same thing . Oh Roy thank you so much. You are welcome princess. Roy I had a long day , I am going to go to bed but I will feel better if you stay in the spare room just in case I need you. Sure Nia let me just go home and fetch my spare clothes besides staying next door does have its advantages.

Dreams

Nia where are you? Please come find me. Sam….. I can’t see you. Nia I am lost at sea I need you to come find me, you are the only person that can save me. Sam I do not understand How am I able to see and talk to you? Did mom ever tell you the story of how she and her sister have this bond that they can find each other by talking through their dreams. Now that you have accepted me as your brother we are able to communicate. If this is the case then where are you? I do not know where I am maybe if you look around you will find a clue.

Okay so I see banana and coconut tree, I see a sandcastle with a pink heart on a flag, I see a rock cave in the form of a circle overlooking the ocean, the sky is a light orange hue with white clouds in the far distance. The seagulls screaming speaking the language of nature to each other, and if you listen closely my dear they speak of a person who fits your description perfectly. Palm trees swing gently in the summer breeze and massive leaves provide shade for the smaller critters that call this island home. Crabs pop out from warm and soft beach sand just to relax in the sun before heading out to sea again. There’s a ship wreak close by, it looks like it’s some sort of long lost relic mostly over run by creepers and moss, yet it looks like the most peaceful spot on this deserted island. A mountain top stands in the distance with eagles flying around the top which is hidden by mist and what appears to be smoke. A place so peaceful yet so scary at night. Sam I know this place wait for me I will bring help as soon as I can…. I wake up drenched in sweat was all this a dream or have I really spoken to Sam? I get out of bed and run to the room that Roy is sleeping in. As I am about to knock Roy opens the door. Nia are you okay I heard you shouting for Sam? Roy I haven’t gotten all my memories back yet but maybe you remember. Have I ever told you anything about my mom having some sort of sibling finding abilities? Yes Nia you did mention something like that, you told “ all the siblings from your mother’s side of the family were blessed by some sage in the 1600s. you said that when one sibling is in danger or needs help they will be able to make contact with either their bigger or smaller sibling. It could be a dream or even a vision of that person and where you can find them.” Nia why are you asking me about that memory now and what does this have to do with you shouting for Sam?

I think I spoke to Sam through my dream, he was asking me to come find him and that he is on our Pirate Island.

Flashback

Roy look over there it must be a pirates hideout do you want to go have a look around? Sure let me just tell our parents. Mom how did you find this place? Roy your father and I used to go sailing in our free time but one day we ran out of food so we stopped here to collect some coconuts . This place looks amazing can Nia and I go exploring? Yes you’ll can, your father and I built our own cottage here since this slowly became our favourite holiday spot. Thanks mom see you later. Nia mom said we can go explore they even built a cottage that we can play in when it gets too hot. Wow but first I want to build a sandcastle and put this flag that I made ( I drew a heart and coloured it pink my favourite colour) on it.

Nia get some rest if you had this vision now that means Sam has made contact with you, in the morning we will go find him. Roy where is Sam? I should have met him by now. Nia a month ago when our plane crashed Sam and Lucy went missing no one has found them and the authorities have called off the search saying that they can no longer look for them. Thank you Roy I will see you in the morning

Good morning Roy would you like some coffee or do you want to have cereal? I will have coffee for now thanks. Here I made extra coffee while making mine, I knew you would want. Roy what time do you want to leave for pirate island? When you are ready. Roy I just want to pack some lunch so we can a have a picnic and relax for a while. Are you ready to leave now Nia? Yes Roy could you please take the picnic while I bring my spare clothes bag , I have your shorts also it was in my closet

Sam p.o.v

Sam will we ever be rescued from this island? As much as I like being here spending time with you I would like to see our friend and family again. Yes Lucy we will Nia will come find us. How will Nia know where we are? There is something I need to tell you Lu, when I was born there was a fire that broke out in the hospital so the nurse who was tending to my mother saved me. She adopted me but she kept my surname the same as my parents, the only record that had my parents details were burnt so mom only knew my parents names.
