Treasure Hunt(Pirate England/ Hetalia story)

Chapter 15

After I told to Allistor my name, my real name, I went to Arthur's room and I was ready to knock but before my hand could touch the door there could be heard screams and curses. 'Agh! You bloody fucker idiot, you're trying to kill me from blood loss?', was one thing that could be heard, 'I'll kill you when my hands are free. I'll strangle you!'. Hearing these I felt bad, like this happened because of me. Maybe I feel like that because I gave them a second chance to win against the Spanish ship. But Silva would have killed me because of the name Williams, so I would have died and they would try to free themselves in vain. Agh! Shut it Scarlett!

I stayed outside for many hours until the screams stopped and two people left his room with bloody hands and shirts. They nodded me, as they saw me staring at them, and without waiting I went inside only to see Arthur laying unconscious at his bloody bed with a man at his bedside. I went next to Arthur and looked at him. I could see his face was wet by sweat and taking big and heavy breaths. His body was full of bandages and at his leg, where the bullet went inside him, the bandages were the deepest shade of red, of bloody red. At the air there were only two smells. The smell of alcohol, as they might have used it as painkiller or to clear his wound, and the metallic smell of blood.

As I went to sit at the bedside and pat his head as gently as I could, or more likely as motherly as I could, someone stopped me. "It's best not to wake him up Mrs Kenway. I believe you heard him screaming and cursing so please don't wake him up. We had to punch him really hard to lose his senses." The man said and stopped to take a breath. "We had some chances of losing him, but he is now alright. As long as his wounds don't open." After that he got up and went outside leaving me alone with Arthur. Before he left he just smiled and turned his head. "If he wakes up and doesn't feel well, or you are in agony due to your wounds, come at my cabin. My name is Ryan Watonga or 'the Doc' as they know me here."

"I'll have that in mind mist-"

"Ryan. Just Ryan."

"Alright Ryan. I'll have that in mind."I corrected myself and he left. When I heard the door being closed I sat at his bedside and moved his blond locks away from his eyes and swifted the sweat that had formed. "God dammit Arthur. You nearly got yourself killed because of me." I said and continued watching him for any movement.

As the hours were passing, Arthur went into deeper sleep. I was still at his bed sitting near him but with a book in my arms, different from the others before I had ever read. It was the book I was surprised with a few days ago that I foundnwhile I was digging his bookcase: 'The Mythical Creatures, Fairies', that belonged to someone named Emily. The first chapters of the book were telling about the creature's legends and the way it is represented around the known places. After reading them, then I came to one conclusion: This is ridiculous, only a madman's story. Come on now Scarlett! These are tales that the little childen want to hear. If you were a five-year old then, maybe you would like that. I thought but something made me shiver.

"I see you enjoy yourself with that book, right love?" A voice whispered besides me and at the last word that it left from his mouth he coughed.

My body turned to the voice and saw a pair of emerald green eyes looking at me. "So you decided to wake up at last huh?" I replied as normally as I could, not showing any emotions of relief and happiness nor anger.

He laughed, as he could, and then his eyes averted from me to the cielling above our heads. "True, true." He then sighed and he looked right at mine, taking every detail he could to describe the situation we were in."You know, it was the first time you did that." He said as his face went looking at the cielling with his eyes closed, like he was taking a nap.

"What do you mean with 'It was the first time I did that'?" I asked kind of confused as I placed the book back to it's place and headed towards Arthur.
