18

The night was cool. Everyone else was asleep. I was up. I was waiting for them. Tonight, was a full moon. I look at them. They were sleeping. I stare at them. They looked so calm and even in sleep I knew they were in a paradise. I stare at the beautiful stars. They were shifting. They were changing. 

I hear the sand rustling. The full moon creatures crawled out of the sand. Eugene woke up and yelped. Cass woke up and stood in front of me.

"They're...not...dangerous." I say. 

Judith picked up Cass' foot. She threw her to the side and into Rapunzel. Nemmy started to treat my wounds. He rubbed them with smooth paste, a medicine. It was soothing. 

"What are you guys?" Rapunzel asked.

"Healers." Nemmy answered.

"Freeres of sin." Nag said.

"Creepy sand dwellers." Marro said.

They turned to him.

"Dude. Really?" Judith asked.

"Sorry." Marro said feeding me bread.

"What excatly is this place? I'm still so confused." Eugene said.

"As you often are." Cass said.

"A place of guilt. A place of punishment and sins." Nemmy said.

"Is there a way to get out? How can I free my son?" Dad asked.

"There is no way." Judith said.

"Actually, there is only one way." Marro said.

"Shhh." Nemmy and Nag said.

Judith hit Marro.

"We're not supposed to say." Judith said.

"Tell us everything." Rapunzel said.

"We can't!" Judith said.

Dad walked forward. 

"Tell me now." He hissed.

"There is a hidden chamber beneath the island." Marro said.

He pointed to a lonely hill a sign was above it.

"There you will find the cross that teleports people here. Break it and he will be free. That is all we know." Marro said.

Dad hugged me.

"Don't worry son. I'm going to free you." Dad said.
