Treasure Hunt(Pirate England/ Hetalia story)

Chapter 7

"Two weeks passed since our little meet up with Salt and your new 'friend', Scarlett." Dave said and looked at the port getting more and more bigger any second the Pearl continues it's trip. "You have a special trait, know what?"

"What?" I asked with a bored face hearing it for who knows what time.

"You make enemies more easily than friends. And you are a woman! Think what would have happened if you were a man? All the pirates would want your head!" Dave said and sighed. I had never seen him so much angry in my life. Well that was because one of our prisoners told us that Kirkland and his fleet burnt-out Captain's Carriedo five ships in one night. From that night he is known as 'The Madman of The Sea'. What a prototype name for the Spanish people to give.

"...if you were a man..." I muttered ironically the same words as Dave. This earned me an angry look with a raised eyebrow. To that I laughed and headed to the measen mast.

When I got there the wind came and stroked my face gentle. This is Life, this is Freedom! I thought. Not many people knew what a pirate was in reality. Yeah, they can be cruel, greedy, fearsome but they don't do it for the gold only. They do it for the experience and the trips, the lands who remain unknown to the man. Sure, they love gold, but who doesn't? The gold the pirates hold are their life savings for their families or their retirement, whatever age they are.

As I was thinking of what freedom means and what it is to me a thought came to my mind. If Kirkland is so fearsome, then why doesn't he have came behind me to punish my attitude towards him, for pushing him at the ocean? Oh god, how I loved his confused face. To that I let a giggle as I remembered his face and opened my eyes feeling someone next to me. To my not surprise I see little Peter watching the docks becoming more clear.

"What do you think Peter? Do you think you can put up with little Benjamin?" I asked him with a smile at my face. Benjamin was Imogen's son, James rightful son. Imogen had told to him that his father died before he was born. She said that I was his aunt. That happened because I reminded to James his younger brother, Connor. How? I don't know, but this is what Imogen had told me and James too.

"I don't know Scarlett. I like miss Imogen but I don't know so good Ben, and this scares me." Peter said and lowered his head. Benjamin and Peter knew each other but not so good. I got down at his face I and hugged him. He hugged me back and looked at my eyes. His ocean blue eyes were scanning mine black amethyst eyes.

"Captain! We are getting closer to the docks!" Jack, a man I truly trusted with my life shouted from the steer.

I nodded at him and looked down at Peter. This was his cue to leave and find Alice. I started getting ready and helping some of my men with the process.

The ship docked and before the plank could be placed right a small figure jumped from the ship to the dock and after that running towards the small town's people. That figure wore a sailor outfit. Then it hit me. FUCK! "Peter!" I yelled and jumped right as he did trying to stay right behind him.

Fuck, fuck, FUCK! "Damn you Peter! Come back! PETER!" I yelled at the top of my lungs holding my hat in my hands, not losing it. Then as I turned at a small alleyway I saw him and two other people. As I reached him, I stopped and took a breath. The only words that could left from my mouth after my sprint was only 'Damn' and then a 'Peter'. As I was caught my breath again I felt someone hugging me at a tight hug. I looked at that person and met up with a familiar pair of black eyes and blond short hair.

"Aunt Letty! Aunt Letty you came back!" Benjamin yelled with tears in his eyes by the thrill.

"Hey Ben! I told you I will come back, didn't I?" I said and hugged him back tightly. Benjamin was the only person that I let him calling me this stupid nickname. After we let each other I took a good look around me and saw Imogen next to Peter. She was thrilled too. She came and hugged me. At her hug I slightly flinched and she looked at my black eyes with her big brown eyes seriously. I just smirked at her and she glanced at my wounded shoulder. "Wow, look at you Ben, you became a man. I left you a little boy and I arrived to see a good looking man." Before she could say anything I said to Ben.
