The Whisper Of The Sea

Vol 20

Voices could be heard from next to the room, Laura cursed him because the inn was so cheap of course she could hear the voices of people passing in front of her room, but a familiar voice made her fixate, she said, that voice was Sean's voice that was along the hallway of the room. Laura quickly hid behind the door of her room and brought her face closer, The voice was so faint but Laura was sure it was Sean's voice conversing with the innkeeper.

'Did you see a beautiful woman staying here'? her hair was brownish black with pale skin, her eyes were tosca-colored'.

'Sorry sir we don't see women like you say'. The sound of footsteps echoed, Laura closed her mouth, peeked out of the door hole and looked at Sean who was standing at the door outside the inn with his people. They turned around, Laura finally breathed a sigh of relief, she did not want Sean to find her.

~ Sean

I realized Laura's attitude was different when we had just returned from the town of Cambridges, especially when Emy came, her face was not cheerful anymore, was she jealous? I hope so, but Emy didn't give up on me, even though our engagement was off, she kept coming to me for sex, I had no other choice her face was cuddling with me.

That day Emy came to me crying and saying that if Laura was lost somewhere, my body was like swept away by the waves, without saying I ran to look for her down the Cambridges from the corner of the city to the border of the Cambridges.

It was late in the evening, Laura I had not found, I was sitting on the street corner trying to calm my mind, only this time I felt like this, suddenly a soft hand was holding my shoulder.

"Sean, are you okay? why are you like this just because of a woman like her?" Sean's eyes opened, and he stood before Emy.

"Whatchu mean? what did you tell Laura?" it was to Emy.

Emy raised the corner of her lips. "It looks like you've hypnotized Sean, why is he so important to you? is he more important than me??" scream Emy.

"You have no heart Sean, I just explained to her that you're mine and she's just your bed warmer during the ocean."

Sean's jaw was stiff, a slap floated on Emy's cheek, "you're nothing to me Emy, we're long over, don't show up in front of me again." Sean's voice was so calm but full of threats.

Emy held her red cheeks, she ran over crying, Sean exhaled, she ruffled her long hair then looked to the right and left.

"Captain we'd better go home by nightfall, tomorrow we'll be looking for him again." Al said to calm him down.

"You guys go back to the ship first". Sean said, he then continued his search down the street looking for Laura.

It was so late, Laura was lying in that cramped room thinking about where she was going, she then closed her eyes because today she was so tired, she was so tired, the thing he needs to do is hide from her so that he will not care about her, he has absolutely no feelings for me for what I am with him, he does not care about me at all.

Armed with the gold he took when Rembo dropped the gold on the floor of the ship he could leave Sean, at least he had something to sell.

Laura again walked along the way, after swapping gold for a few hefty sheets of money enough to stock up on her trip, she finally left, leaving, he hid himself from behind Kumal's cloths so that people would not approach him, they would think he was just a vagrant.

He stopped by the river and gulped down some of the river water and ate the little provisions he bought in the market, the dry bread was half-living, he only ate the dry bread and it had been two days so that it made him dizzy, his sweat falling he staggered, his steps so heavy that Laura fell unconscious near a dense tree.

"Hurry up, it's getting dark, we have to prepare dinner in a moment stupid !" resounding. Suddenly the horse carriage stopped.

"Why did you stop I told you to go fast."

But the old woman was silent to see a woman on the side of the road. "Gosh, who is he? he got out of his carriage and approached Laura who was still unconscious.

"He's alive, Ethan help me get him on the train, what a pity his fate is." Said the old grandmother who still spoke fluent French.

"Let's go we're too late Ethan."

The sound of the horse's footprints being heard and Laura feeling the pounding on her body due to the uneven street shocks, made her realize, even though she was still unable to lift her body. He was so weak and hungry.

The city of Cambridges is so vast when compared to the places it has come to, this place is twice as large as the two cities it had visited before, and it had been 5 five days that Laura disappeared as if she was swallowed by the earth, Sean was really worried that the girl was so weak, let alone that she had no idea about this city at all, what if someone bullies him or kidnaps him and he needs my help. Sean ran back down place after place, but he did not find it at all.

"You're such a fraud, that young girl should get more than you give, God will avenge you rob." Said a merchant on the left side of the antiques dealer.

"That stupid girl looks so in need of money she said during her trip, I have been kind to help her, of course if she shows her pretty face, she does not have to bother selling gold, he said, anyone would help her willingly.

Sean went straight to the antiques dealer, a dagger right around his neck.

"Say ! Is the girl who sold you gold, tosca-eyed with a very pretty face!?" sean asked with hunting breath.

The merchant was frightened, he swallowed his saliva. "I.iya sir she's a tosca-eyed with a very pretty face." He said timidly.

"Where did he say he wanted to go?" ask Sean again. The merchant shook his head quickly.

"No sir, he just said the money was on his way."

Sean took the rest of the money from the actual price of the bracelet that Laura was selling, he ran over to the place where Laura was walking and stopped at a river, he looked around him just a dense Forest, he was, then his eyes were fixed on the handkerchief that had fallen near the big tree.

The handkerchief belonged to Laura engraved with the letters L and S which she sewed on the ship. Sean was clamoring for Laura's name but it was useless.

"LAURAS...LAURA...." He ran again until a deep wonder and again cried out with all his might, only a gust of wind from the dense trees could be heard.

Sean stood around, his face suddenly turning red with his jaw tightly clenched, "You deliberately walked away from me Laura, you ran away from me? I'll definitely find you". Sean muttered while tightly holding onto laura's handkerchief in his hand.
