Chapter Seven
Everything was going well. His mother and grandmother bothed looked at it. They were amazed that it stopped bleading.
I told them about the rash on your arm, they dicho they would like to look at it too. Nadan dicho as he translated what his grandmother had said.
No, it's okay, it's nothing. I can just stop practicing for a few days. I said.
They insist on it. He said.
No, it's okay! I dicho sternly.
Carter, tu are going to insult them if tu do not allow them to look at it. Nadan said.
Nadan! I whinned.
Come on it couldn't hurt tu unless your are hiding something. Nadan said.
Uh huh right. I said.
Confess it, I know what happen. He said.
Than how come tu didn't come tu didn't rescue me? I asked confused.
Because I couldn't, I was having to find Tiger Lilly again. He said.
Find her? Where did she go? I asked.
Hook had her. He said.
Lair! I halfed yelled.
How do tu know Hook didn't have her? Nadan asked curiously.
Because he had me! I blurted.
He had you? He asked curious.
All the sudden Nadan's mother and grandmother started talking in their lanuage. I hated that I couldn't understand what they were saying. Nadan was telling them something but I didn't know what.
What happen? We want to know everything. Nadan dicho as he spoke for his grandmother, mother and hisself.
[i]'Well, after got into a fight that night, I went into the woods and Hook saw. He ordered his men to capture me and carry me to the ship. Once we go there, it was aweful. They mocked me, spit on me, and beat me,' I dicho meekly. 'Hook didn't let them beat to much, he wanted to do something to me and he wanted me to feel the pain that he had felt when Peter and I acidently fed his arm to the crocodile. Hook kept saying "I own you, tu are mine!". It didn't make since so I ignore it a couple of times when he dicho that. That was a huge mistake. He never wanted me to forget that so he grabbed my arm and took his hook, he slowly craved a "H" into my wrist.
"You will never forget that I own you. tu will always have a reminder. tu will experience the pain that tu put me through," Hook said.
It scared me, the pain that came for the siguiente hours, were aweful. They siguiente día Hook let me go. I went straight to the house to see Peter but he was having so much fun with Wensy that he forgot I was even missing. I saw how he was actuación with her so I left. I decided that I didn't want Peter o the boys to see me like this so I cleaned myself up. I didn't want them to know I was scared that Hook would pop out at any moment to slit my throat. They would tease me, o worse. Peter wouldn't even care if Hook killed me.' I said.
I felt a tears slip from eyes. Nadan came over and hugged me.
I am so sorry. It's all my fault! I should have never started that argument! He said.
It's not your fault, it's mine. I knew he was out there and I wasn't even careful about it. I said.
Mom and grandmother would like to look at your arm and than they would like tu take a bath to get all the dirt off. He said.
'Nadan,' I dicho as I paused. 'It's dirt marks, they're bruises.'
Nadan dicho something I couldn't understand and his grandmother and mother came rushing over to me.
Nadan was leaving the tent.
Where are tu going? I asked.
I have to step outside the tent. He said.
Don't tu dare leave me in here, I can't understand a word they are saying! Besides tu can't tell anyone what tu heard and please make sure that your grandmother and mother know that. I said.
Why? He asked.
Because I'm scared to death of Hook but I don't want the boys to find out. If your people know then the sirenas know and if the sirenas know than the whole island knows. Which is very bad! I said.
He nodded and started saying something.
Nadan came over to me and gently grabbed my wrist. He pulled out a cuchillo and yanked my arm back.
I stared at him in shock. Was he going to cut my arm? What is he doing with a knife?
It's okay, I'm cutting the vines off. He said.
I put my arm back in his hand. He grabbed some on the vines and placed the blade under them. He lifted the cuchillo up easely and the vines feel to the dirt floor.
It's a lot worse than I thought. He said.
What was tu expecting? I asked.
A little 'H' not no huge 'H'. Nadan said.
Nadan's grandmother got a bowl started mixing stuff together.
I sat down on the pile of blanket on the floor. Nadan sat down beside me.
Carter, Hook didn't do anything inaporare. Did he? Nadan asked.
No, I am grateful for that. His crew just beat me. I mumbled.
Nadan wrapped an arm around me to comfort me.
What is she doing? I asked.
She making this medicine that will dry on your arm. It will heal and protect the wound from infections. He said.
Oh okay. But won't the boys know that something is wrong with my arm if they see mud on my arm? I asked.
After this dries on your arm, tu can put the vines back on to camoflodge it. He said.
Okay. I shrugged.
His mother started saying something. I looked over at Nadan for help.
It's going to sting, just to warn you. He said.
His grandmother reached for my wrist. She started applying the mudd like medicine. It stung a lot.
Your mother wasn't kidding when she dicho it would sting. I said.
She doesn't joke that much. He said.
The pain felt like Hook was craving another "H" into my wrist.
What makes the pain so bad? I asked.
We don't know, it just works. He said.
'Oh,' I replied.
Are tu okay? Nadan asked.
I guess. I shrugged.
You're terrified of Hook, aren't you? He asked.
I was never scared of Hook until now. I said.
I can understand that. He had never really hurt tu until now. He said.
I'm scared to death of him and I'm really scared that Peter and the boys will know. I said.
It's okay, Hook wouldn't be able to capture tu siguiente time. He said.
I hope there's not a siguiente time. I said.
Nadan's mother and grandmother got done fixing my arm and the hole in my chest. Nadan and I sat in the tent for a little while and talked.
