Eleanor sat in her chair impatiently waiting for most of her crew to come back to the ship. Hopefully returning back safely with useful stuff they could later trade in another destination.
She looked at her map pinned against the wall infront of her already planning the travel they had in mind to Europe.
Suddenly she hears yells coming from outside the boat and she feels a soft shift. The boat was leaving quickly. Something probably went wrong.
She hears an unknown yell from outside it sounded younger then the rest of the people on board.
That's what made her quickly stand up from her seat and quickly walk out of the cabin
When she opens the door to her shock she sees one of the guards from the navy being held at gun point Before they could shoot the bulllet Eleanor yelled "hey!!!" Getting their attention.
"Don't kill him. He's from the navy right?" She looks the brunette guy up and down noticing his uniform "We could use him for ransom." She smirked "Elena do you think they would care for a random guy in the navy? No. They'd shoot our boat down!" One of the older guys said.
"George he's not just a guy from the navy." She scoffs walking up to the navy guy.
"He's from the leaders family. Sturniolo right?" She looks down at him "Which one are you?" She asks. The guy didn't give her a answer "Answer me or that bullet goes through ur head." She says
"Christopher." He says hesitantly.
"The youngest." She smirks "see? They will do anything to get him back safe and alive." She looks up at George "Well what should we do with him?" George asks. "Tie him up. I'll get the word out and after our next stop we'll get our money"
"Fine but he's your fucking responsibility"
An hour later Eleanor decided to visit Chris She walks up to the edge of the ship where he was sitting
"So chris right?" She sits across him. He looks at her not saying a word "how's the navy" she asks sarcastically Chris scoffs "really?" He rolls his eyes looking away from her "hey. I saved your life navy boy" She reminds him.
"Yeah for money." He says "What you expect me to tell you I saved you because I found you cute or something? That I fell in love with you the moment I saw you? Yes of course for the fucking money mate." She chuckles "You should be thanking me instead. If I didn't notice you yelling I probably wouldn't even come out of the cabin and you'd be tossed in the sea."
He looks at her again "how long am I gonna be tied up for?"
"Maybe when I trust you. Making sure you don't jump off the ship or attack someone here." She says
"I won't. Look I've given up."
Eleanor notices blood on his left arm his uniform being ripped apart "Oh I didn't notice that." She looks at his arm She felt bad for him. Not knowing the reason behind it, she never felt remorse for people outside the crew "Let's get you cleaned up." She says hesitantly untying his hands immediately when she did she held his other arm firmly so he wouldn't do anything stupid
Chris sat in his chair inside the cabin looking around.
Eleanor walked up to him with a soaked up cloth while she waits for Chris . Chris looks at her with confusion. "Yeah I'm not using this cloth to wash your damn uniform am I?" Eleanor snaps at him
"Oh. Right" Chris said taking off his uniform leaving him in a tank top
Eleanor slowly puts the cloth on the injured part of his arm while Chris hisses "Don't be a baby." She said looking at him for a split second
"I don't think water is gonna help much." He says "well this is all we fucking got so trust the process and pray that it doesn't get infected" she says sarcastically.
"What's your name?" He asks
"Eleanor."
"Ellie. I like that name." He smiles gently
She flinch moving the cloth away from the wound. She's surprised no one ever called her Ellie, she didn't know if she liked it or not. But it sounded soft.
She notices Chris staring down at her and she quickly started cleaning the wound
"Don't call me that." She said firmly "why not?" He asked
"Nobody calls me Ellie."
"Well I'll be the first"
