"GET IN THE WATER!" The siren screaches. I cover my ears as if that would help... she's in my head! The sirens are too scared to come close to the ships so it's safe for me and Damiao's crew to take the boat to get to the beach, as long as we stay out of the water. "Almost there." Me and the women in the crew keep the men from following the siren call... Apperantely somerwhere down my mother's mother's family line was there a mermaid. So I'm immune to the siren voice... barely. But the girls got a less further down the family-line a mermaid... so they can tolerate it more. Sirens can't hypnotize women, but they can demand us to listen very painfully, so painfull that you would listen to them. and fall to your death.
The dark clouds start to cry, and we're soaked in seconds. I can only see the shadow of island now, and a little bit of the beach. We arrive on the beach holding the guys on short leashes tied around their wrists. We all are in agony, desperate to get out of reach for the sirens. We go into the dark jungle and we don't know if we'll ever set foot on this beach again.
No one speaks, we're all fighting silent battles in our heads, one with the sirens and one with fear of not making it to the end of the day.
And then we hear the fight. Pistols going off, groans, yells, cries... fills the air with the thunder and pouring rain. I get my pistol ready the others do the same, we cut the guys loose and we start running into battle!
I shoot at a few of Casimero's pirates, saving a few of ours. I search the chaotic crowd and I find him this time. He's fighting with Casimero's first mate. He loses his sword and falls to the ground as the man kicks him in the stomach. And I take my shot as the man lifts his sword to kill Damiao. Damiao snaps his head to look at me, as the man falls to the side. He gets up and runs toward me, he grabs my neck and pulls me into a kiss. I half melt into the kiss, as choas surrounds us. A gurgling sound makes me pull away slightly. I look over my shoulder and Damiao's free hand holds his sword out behind me and a man that's bleeding out lays behind me.
I look back at Damiao, he's smirking. "Two birds one stone." He says, as he gives me another quick kiss and runs to his next victim. And I do the same.
Why on earth does he always kiss me like that when we need to do something else?
