The Terrible Demise of Tortuga.

Chapter nine.

Aaron had just come back from sailing to a client of his to pick up a strange creature. It was a hybrid between a shadowmane and a dilophosar cub. He carefully carried the crate carrying the shadow dilo. “And WHAT do you have today?” Helen asked. (Helen is the peacekeeper woman from the beginning, her daughter is Rachelle.) “Well Mrs Helen , I have a baby t-rex of course, what else could it be?” Aaron asked. The peacekeepers gaped at him and started backing away slowly. Aaron chuckled. “Just joking, it’s a rare and exotic hybrid called: the shadow dilo.” He said. The peacekeepers sighed gratefully. “A shadow mane/dilophasaur?” Helen asked. “Yep, its a VERY rare creature and dinosaurs are going extinct you know since the Arks ended.” Aaron said smiling. Helen rolled her eyes. “Fine. Continue on.” She said and moved aside so that he could pass. Aaron gladly did so, as he walked by he passed the executioner who stopped him. “Thirty minutes until night protocols begin.” The executioner said. Aaron nodded. “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to be in my house b e f o r e lights out.” He smiled and kept walking. The executioner watched him go, running a finger down the axe’s blade. ‘One day.’ He thought. ‘One day. ’ nobody knew what the executioner’s name actually was they just called him ‘the executioner’ and that is what he was.

Emma had a hard time sleeping that night. She tossed and turned for hours without end trying to sleep. Finally she drifted off into a peaceful slumber. Or so she thought. Emma was dreaming, or so she thought. She was in a destroyed city that she had never seen before. Houses had been smashed and there were corpses lying here and there. But there through the town square walked a stranger. At first glance Emma thought it was her father. But it was not. Although he looked remarkably like Aragorn, there were some differences. His eyes were a dark green, and he had less of a beard and had short black hair unlike Aragorn’s hair which was longer. His skin was ghostly white unlike Aragorn’s well tanned skin. Emma’s stomach twisted at the sight of him but she didn’t know why. “Could he see her?” She wondered to herself. She didn’t know. All of the sudden he had her by the neck choking her. She could not speak, and she could not move. He grinned evilly. “HE will pay for what he has done!” He said in a low dark gravely voice. Emma’s lungs were out of air was out of air. Emma kicked in vain desperately. He did not flinch he only chuckled. Suddenly she sat up gasping for breath. She did not sleep again that night.

Next chapter coming soon. 😉
