Fleet Admiral's Ship 🤍💙🤍

Fleet Admiral never said a word, as we made our way to the ship. Once we board, he came up close to us. "Stay close and don't say a word, understood?"

I gave a quick tap on his shoulder, he started walking. We followed him below deck, to a stable area. No one was around, I appeared again.

"You can leave your horse here. I'll have someone look after him." He holds the gates open, the horse refuses to go in. "What are you doing?"

"He doesn't want to go in. As I said it's not mine. He just doesn't want to leave."

He breathes heavily, "very well let's hope he's well trained then."

I hop off and give him a rub from his ears to his nose. "I'll be back with more apples, okay?" I hand him another apple, he gladly takes and eats it.

We walk back to the door, he stops. "It's best you remain hidden for now. Till you shower."

"Yes, that may be a problem, I don't have any other clothes than what I got on." That I disappear again.

"We'll get you some. Once you've showered we need to talk."

"Okay, the horse will need a wash too. He did get a fair bit of blood on him."

"Yes, he will be bathed as I said. He will be taken care of."

"Good," I remain quiet till he got me new clothes. And showed me to a room with a shower.

~~~~

"Oh man, that shower felt good." I dry myself. Got dress, put the Commander's Card back in my pocket. It wasn't fully restored but it was getting there. I walked out the Fleet Admiral was waiting.

"Feel better now?"

"Oh yes much, thank you for my clothes. How's my horse going?" I decided to keep him since he help me and tried to protect me. It'll be harder to find enough food, I'll make it work.

"Your horse was being difficult, once he had some apples he settle down. Did you realise he was starving?"

"No, sorry I didn't. I didn't pay much attention I was more worried about the Commander. I only found him, cause I was looking for a cart."

"He's also a Rocinante, he's awkward, past his prime, and engaged in a task beyond his capacities."

I sit down, start brushing my hair with my fingers. "That's rude to say. He's not difficult for me. He was more than capable of helping me today. And protecting me. He's still got plenty of years left in him." I could say the same thing about him...

He laughs then he stops. "The Commander is doing well. He's out of surgery, but he's in an induced coma."

"Oh no..." I cover my mouth. "For how long?"

"We're unsure for the moment."

"Ohh..." Lay my hands in my lap. That's not good, probably cause of me.

"Why do you look so sad? You're the reason he's alive. If you weren't there he would have died."

I tuck a strand of hair behind my ear. "I'm glad he's alive."

"Before you go to see him. I have a few questions."

"Okay, sure..."

"What's your name?"

"My name? Well, people call me the Wandering Ghost..."

"No, your real name?"

"Ummm... Mine name is... (L/N) (F/N)..."

"Thank you (L/N) (F/N) for your help today. Next question, what else did you see?"

"The man disappeared at the docks. He may have boarded a ship. I followed the Commander's, Vivre Card."

"How did you get his Vivre Card?"

Fuck I didn't mean to say that! It's out now... "The man let go of it before he disappeared. It's how I was able to tell he was still alive."

"I see... Did the Commander give you any information what so ever?"

"No, he didn't. As I said I didn't know he was a Commander till you and the Captain came to my shack. And that he didn't want to go to a hospital." He knitted his fingers, look deep in thought. "Excuse me Fleet Admiral if that's everything. I would like to go see the Commander now, please."

He looks up at me, "very well. Follow me then. There's no need to hide, the marines have been informed about you and your horse. What is your horse's name?"

"Umm, Ash."

"Oh and this will be your room for now. And another thing. Don't mention that the Commander aboard or anything concerning him. Understood?"

"Understood," I nod. And he leads me down a corridor and a few turns we end up at the infirmary.

He leads me in and he opens another door. "In here." Walk-in see the Commander hooked up to a bunch of machines, and has tubes coming out of him. "I know it's not a nice sight to see."

"It's better then what he was... At least now he's alive and not in pain..." I walk over, sit down in the chair next to the bed.

"I'll leave you be," he leaves and closes the door.

Get a better look at him, see he has scars all over him. Who knew the life of a marine, could be so dangerous. Without the makeup and blood, he's quite good looking. Even if he is much taller then me, haha.

I reach out for his hand, hold it. "So umm you're safe now. And getting better treatment, haha. We're aboard Fleet Admiral ship. The horse I found, he's onboard too. Name him Ash, I don't even know what he looks like. Think he was brown, I'm not sure. I wasn't paying much attention. I'm going to see him after I finished talking to you, I guess. I hope you don't stay in the coma too long. It would be nice to talk to you. Guess that's all I got to talk about for now. My name (Y/N) or The Wandering Ghost. I will be back to see you soon, Commander."

As I go to get up and leave, he holds my hand. "I can stay a little longer." Sit back down, run my thumb on the back of his hand.
