CHAPTER73

(The despair that the sea men bestowed on Vee became even more worse. Once she became 16 years old, she had a tattoo bearing King Shark’s jolly roger.)

VEE

Hnngh! It hurts.

(Then she goes back to the village.)

VILLAGE CHIEF

Vee.

ROSE

Vee, where have you been?

VILLAGE DOCTOR

What?!

(They notice the tattoo on her shoulder.)

VILLAGE CHIEF

Vee, where did you get that tattoo from?

VILLAGE PRIEST

And don’t lie to us. That is King Shark’s jolly roger.

VEE

Yes, I’m one of them now.

(The villagers gasp in horror.)

VEE

They even gave me money, look.

ROSE

Vee, have you forgotten what they did to Isabella?!

VEE

…But she’ not here right now!!

VILLAGE DOCTOR

To think that you’ll join them. You really are a shameful girl.

VILLAGE CHIEF

Leave this village and never come back.

VEE

Everyone, it’s not what you think it is… I…

VILLAGE CHIEF

DON’T MAKE ME REPEAT MYSELF VEE! LEAVE THIS VILLAGE AND NEVER COME BACK!!!
