Chapter 16

Dana

What. The. Fuck. Colors whip past me at supersonic speeds. Blues and greens. I’m going to go out on a limb and assume that the green is trees and the blue is water or maybe sky. I feel like I'm being stretched and condensed at the same time. The scream I let out gets ripped from me by the wild stream of wind going past us. I grip Kreed's hand with all I have. I don’t dare try to move my head to look at him. I’m afraid the wind will snap my head clean off. It’s only a few seconds and we are suddenly standing. My brain thinks we're still moving but my body knows we've stopped. I immediately turn my head and vomit. Kreed holds me and the bags all while keeping my hair back.

What a man, he can multitask.

I dry heave a few times before I stand up and wipe my mouth with the back of my hand. I shake off the last of the nausea and I take the bags off. Then, I step toward the bluest water I have ever seen. It laps lazily at the shoreline. I can see small colorful fish floating on the currents. As soon as I scoop some water in my hands they scatter. I slurp up some water and swish my mouth out. Salt water over vomit any day.

I look up at Kreed and glare at him. “That was way worse than what you said. Gods damn, I don’t want to ever do that again.” I say as I look away from Kreed and take in the island. “Where exactly are we?” I can see we are on a very small island. I mean, it's like maybe the size of a football field.

“This is the Allway. This is probably where things went wrong when someone was flying or boating. They had to have been in the wrong place at the wrong time. The portal happened to be opening to an unknown world and someone happened to fall in. Men volunteered to try and come here, to search for Naomi but none of them ever returned. We stopped sending men after a while. Fearing that most of the men had died by ending up on unforgiving worlds.”

“It makes me highly uncomfortable that I am standing in the infamous Bermuda Triangle. I don’t know what I was expecting but I can tell you, it was not this.” I walk past him and put my hand up over my eyes, I squint looking from end to end. I stare up at the endless blue sky. I start to notice a moving, swaying iridescent sheen over the whole island, like a giant bubble covering the island. “Is that a shield of some sort?” I ask, pointing to the sky, “Is that what keeps the island hidden? ” I ask and turn around to face him. He gives me a strange look. “What?”

“You can see the shield?”

“Yes…” I drag the word out unsure if I like where this is going.
