Fire and blood. Everywhere. Arthurs crew mates are fighting with the other ships members, and he notices that the ship was slowly but surely sinking through the air.
His concern only worsens as he notices that the other ships crew members don't hesitate to kill anyone they come into contact with.
" Jameson where are the cabin boys?" Arthur looks over his shoulder towards the person in question. Jameson stands stock still for a moment and finally replies.
" Sir, their room was hit directly by a canon. I don't know if any of them made it out..."
Arthur was quickly running across the deck now. Any person he comes into contact with is quickly shoved aside.
As he makes it to the other side he slows to asses the situation, only to be turned around by a large hand. Arthurs jade eyes meet electric blue.
" Why hello Captain Kirkland. What's the rush?" The man grabs both of his shoulders and shoves him against the wall.
Arthur grits out " I would get to my destination a lot faster if you just put me the fuck down." And promptly kicks him in the gut.
The man doubles over for a second while dropping Arthur to the ground in the process. Arthur quickly gets to his feet before analysing the taller man.
He has dirty blond hair with an annoying cowlick that defies gravity, he had glasses but they made him look distinguished in a...attractive way...what did he just think? Never mind... Anyways he was about a head taller than the Captain, tanned and muscular. He almost reminded Arthur of Mathew...just more annoying...
Didn't Mathew say that he had a brother?
" Are you Alfred?" The Brit asks, while backing away towards the door to the cabin boys room.
" Yeah, but I don't know how you would know that. Also don't think you're getting away that easy." He pulls out a pistol that is hooked around his waist, previously hidden by his coat. 'Damn', Arthur curses, 'they have that new technology from the Ameria region.'
" Well, it's just that one of my previous cabin boys named Mathew," Alfred's eyes gleam dangerously," told me that he had a brother."
" What do you mean previous? What did you do to him?!" Arthur smirks but grimaces remembering the scene back at his quarters.
" I was going to get him to announce that we were friendly and wanted to trade to you, but unfortunately you decided to aim a canon at our ship." Alfred's face pales.
" Holy crap," he puts his gun back in the holster before turning and running the opposite direction from where the Captain came from.
Jameson finally catches up to him and turns his head to see the retreating figure of Alfred.
" What was that about?" The Captain shakes his head before throwing open the door to the cabin boys room. It smells like smoke and an unmistakable metallic smell. Arthurs nose crinkles a little bit.
" It was nothing, but I need you to go help him find Mathew. That's his brother Alfred."
" Don't you need help though?"
" I've got it! Just go! We're running out of time Jameson." Arthur snaps and steps into the destroyed room. He turns back to face Jameson. " After you've helped Alfred, fire up the Night Hawks. Tell everyone to escape." Jameson frowned.
" What about you?"
" Are you asking the great Captain Kirkland if he'll be alright?" Arthur smirks before slamming the door closed.----------------
*is still embarrassed* End. Next part out soon.
