chapter eighteen: May

        I was sleeping peacefully. I had woken up to the sun blaring in my eyes. I had slept in later than usual. When I walked into the campsite I only saw Am and Max. They were sitting next to each other on a log. Both staring at the ground in thought. I looked at Sam's tent. It was open but he wasn't there with them.
        "Where are Sam and E?" I asked. Max just pointed a finger upwards. When I looked up I saw a large blue cloud. I was glad they were spending time together but I wasn't to sure about them being isolated on cloud together.
        "Are we sure that's a good idea?" I asked.
        "I know what I'm doing." Max said smiling.
        "Have they been fighting?"
        "Yeah." He was still grinning.
        "Why are you so happy about that?"
        "Because E just told Sam who his secret admirer is."
        "How did that go down?"
        "No one has said anything yet but they will eventually." I sat down on one of the logs. The ground below my feet was wet with dew and was crawling with bugs. I kicked a few off of my feet because they had crawled all over them.
        "I'm gonna go scout the land." I said standing up. Every now and then one of us walks around the land to see if someone new showed up or if there's a new campsite somewhere. We just try to make sure we don't end up having to take care of anyone. Obviously we needed to do it more frequently.
        I got to edge of the land and saw a life boat tied to a rock. The faded text on the side read The island palace guard. It was E's boat. He wasn't kidding when he said that he rowed here. The oars inside the boat had blood on the handles. I looked up at the ocean. I saw a small ship coming over the horizon. I quickly stepped into the shade of the trees. My enhanced vision aloud me to make out the figure of the queen of the island.
        I quickly ran back to the campsite. I told Max and Am what was going on. Max used his magic to carry us up to the cloud that Sam and E were on.
        "I don't know what she's doing here but I am pissed beyond all imaginable belief." Sam yelled.
        "She's probably here for me." E mumbled.
        "Well then go down there abd go home with her."
        "I'll leave your guys's campsite but there's no way I'm going back home with her."
        "No! You're not going anywhere." Max yelled. He liked E. He saw something great in E and I only hoped to figure out what that was.
        "I'll go talk to her." E said as he dropped out of the air. Thankfully for us, Max made a yellow cloud underneath us to stop us from falling.
        I watched as E walked to the edge of the land to where his mother would be. When her ship hit land, she got off and greeted E with a hug. E shoved her off of him. Neither one of them was happy and I knew something bad was going to happen.
