Across Seas Remade Mark II

"Caldwell."

"Me too.." She gasped. "Maybe we bumoed into each other before!"

"Maybe."

"That would be cool. Spooky "

He laughed.

"You know Janet? She owned the bar by the dock, she would have lots of sweets and give them out for free."

He nodded. "Yeah she was a friend of my Aunt, me and Amora lived with her."

"We definetly bumped into each other then, I was always there."

He nodded. "Probably." He told her. "Come with me."

Bella nodded, motioning for him to lead the way

He brought her to his room where he showed her a picture it was of him as a child and he was with a girl, who looked like her, and a young Amora was stood nearby part of the group but keeping her distance.

Bella furrowed her brows when she saw the picture, quietly pointing to the girl who looked like her.

He let her see it. "I was seven."

"And her?"

"Seven, Amora and I are twins and the other girl was the same age as us."

"Do you know who she is?"

"I do not remember." He told her. "A lot has changed since then."

"Well... I know." She hummed.

He looked to her. "Then you did not recognise Amora or I either."

"No.. I- I've gone through lots since then. I never thought I'd ever see anyone from that life again." Bella whispered, "I uh... A few days after this photo was taken my mother she.. She made me get on a boat and leave with a strange woman Id never met before. She used me as child labour."

He nodded. "My sister and I tried to find you, over father came for us when we were 10, we have been on the sea since." He told her.

"I've been everywhere.. On sea, on land. I done some stuff in mines too for a while." Bella whispered, "All of the bosses have been women. All of them have been horrible, and the other girls in my position would tread on me at the first chance."

"You are protected here, all women look out for each other, in battle we would risk our lives for each other." He told her. "But you need to trust us." He told her.

"I can't just decide to do that and magically do it. It takes time..."

"I know, but you need to start." He told her, nodding to her captains door. "Go and talk to her, you two used to be friends."
