She waded out of the shallows . Waves of water lapped up against her bare legs ,sending chills up her already trembling body. She stole back at what she had left behind on the shore. No regrets.
As the fog wrapped its arms around the girl , adding to her feeling of growing trepidation . She held a lantern in her hand ; it swayed gently by her side , leaking a milky light out into the night. The light was the only comfort she had.
As she stole away , the outline of the ship crept out of the mist like a silent predator.Would the ship bring the solace she had been longing for.
As the girl wadded closer to the ship a man jumped out in front of her ,he was dressed in a black trench-coat with the partial line of blue around the bottom of the coat.
"Where are you off to so late at night, young lady " he said as he was chocking on a half light cigarette. " Somewhere that"s not here , pretty obvious isn't it", the man started to speak again " well i sure can take you away from here , somewhere that"s not here , mind me asking but is your name ?".
The little girl spoke again ,' My name is Aurora Bailey and whats your name", the man begin to and as he was speaking took a bow, " My name is Jonathan Mist and its a pleasure to meet you Aurora and welcome aboard the phantoms Mist".
As Aurora stepped up onto the phantoms mist , she had a sense of fear as she walked with Jonathan up to the front of the ship.Finally Aurora was going to be free from the neglect and poverty she had experienced the last couple of months .
The ship was old and creaky as it started to chugg away from the shore Aurora took one last look at what she wanted to get away from it was a feeling she could not explain. A feeling of Freedom.
She had a sense of fear before she left but now she was safe with Jonathan she felt as if he was her family now , that he was the only one she could trust.
