Danger

"Let's eat!" Nion exclaimed as the foods was finally serve in front of us.

It's already dinner and he's the only one who's noisy among us. He keeps on telling stories about how he escaped from the other pirates who know him.

I didn't mind listening to him, we're bored in the restaurant waiting for the foods and now it's already in front of us.

"Thank you so much for the food." Vian said.

We started eating and I can feel that someone is watching my moves. It's Lexus, he's beside me trying to open up a conversation but I didn't bother to talk to him.

I know he talked to the crews to let me sit beside him. Hindi talaga nila ako tinirhan ng upuan na malayo sa kanya. Hindi na lamang ako umangal.

"By the way, Kapitan. May nasagap akong balita sa ibaba kanina. Nandito daw si Fiodor." ani Nion na ngayo'y seryoso na ang mukha.

Napaangat ang tingin ko habang ngumunguya ng karne. Lexus stopped from eating and the others has now a serious look.

"Who's Fiodor?" tanong ko.

Napalingon si Lexus sa akin at napalunok. What? Who's this man they're talking about? He seems a big deal.

"H-he's a dangerous man, my Queen. Let's not talk about him in front of the foods." sagot ni Lexus kaya nagkibit balikat na lamang ako.

I may look careless but I am secretly observing them. Halata ang mga kakaibang tinginan nila at ang pagtango nila ng dahan-dahan sa sinabi ni Lexus.

Who's this dangerous man named Fiodor? He smells like a serious problem that we'll going to face.

Pagkatapos kumain ay kanya-kanya na rin kaming balik sa kwarto. Malapit ng maghating-gabi. Bukas ng hapon ay babalik na kami sa paglalayag papunta sa lugar na hanggang ngayo'y hindi ko pa rin alam.

Nauna akong bumalik sa kwarto dahil may gagawin pa daw sina Xen at Vian. Nakapaglinis na ako ng sarili ngunit hindi pa rin sila bumabalik.

Napag-desisyonan kong lumabas ng kwarto. Dahil katabi lamang ng kwarto namin ang kwarto nina Lexus ay medyo lumapit ako sa pintuan nila upang malaman kung may ginagawa ba sila.

Hindi masyadong nakasara ang pinto at my maliit na siwang na sakto lamang upang marinig ko ang kanilang pinag-uusapan.

"We should never let our guards down. If Nion's news is true, then that asshole is just around, watching us." it was Lexus who's speaking.

Are they still talking about that man named Fiodor?

Bakit hindi nila ako sinali sa usapan? Is this something that I shouldn't know? Sounds exciting and intriguing. Keeping such important thing on me made my blood boil even more. The annoyance I felt last night is still fresh and now they're adding it.

"I'll double my guard around her majesty." ani Vian.

"We need to leave this place as soon as possible before Fiodor found us, or if he already did then we should not let him come closer to Kapitana." it's Xen.

"Tomorrow, at noon, we should go back to sail. Let's fix the things that we need to finish para mabilis tayong makaalis." tugon ni Lexus sa kanila.

They're all idiots. How can they talk seriously with their door improperly close. I can clearly hear you Veronica's pirates.
