"Captain Kirkland!" My door slammed open sighing I looked up really unamused, the amount of times I have asked these idiots to not come BARGING IN! Lifting my head from my table I look up at him wearily, grunting out a, "what do you want."
"There's been word on the voyages you've been keeping tabs on." Now this got my attention.
"Go on." I mumbled leaning back and lifting my feet to rest on the wooden table.
"They are heading towards the tropics captain." I nod showing that I was following, "after some assassins."
"Oh? I've heard about them. Well, if they are heading that way, why not join them?" I snickered, "well Alfred. Let's set sail."
"Yes Cap!" Alfred saluted before heading off and giving orders. I sat up looking down at my map smiling vigorously.
"Well well. We'll meet again soon. Maddeline~"
***
"Land ahoy!" Smiling Maddeline nodded letting her brother take the wheel as she pinned her long blonde locks under her black, red and blue feathered hat.
"Dock over on the right! Sails down, chests and doors locked!" She gave out orders. The boat neatly docking on the shoreline.
"Well it's quite dark. . Go get something to drink and be back here before early morning. I don't want to have to drag your little asses back here." She mumbled, some of the men rushing out down the plank and off onto the shore.
"Maddeline?" I turn around to see Feliciano, Lovino next to him. "Can you-a look after my fratello for a little while?" I smiled nodding and crouching down tilting my head.
"Feli, do you wanna come hang out with me for a little while? We can go see if the town has some things we can come back to makepasta with." At the word 'pasta' Feliciano's eyes grew bigger and nodded. Looking up at Lovinoand nodding he let go of his older brother's hand and ran towards the captain.
"Si! Let's-a go!" He smiled hugging Maddeline.
"That's alright with you Lovi?" She asked picking up Feliciano.
"Si, just be careful okay Maddeline." He mumbled kissing her cheek quickly and leaving down the plank, his cheeks arose in a slight pink along with Maddeline's.
"Well uh we should get going to huh?" Feli nodded, "I need to go check a few things. Could you check that the doors are locked downstairs please." Feli nodded and she let him out of his arms go run downstairs, toing over to the captains quarters she took off her hat and unbottoned her blouse dropping it to the ground along with her coat. Her chest still bound tightly with bandages. Grabbing another white blouse she quickly buttoned it up and slipped off her shorts and pulled on a short blue skirt, placed a small knife down her right boot and attached one to her upper thigh.
She pulled on a belt, placed her pistol into that and attached a bit of gold to it as well. Just as she had fixed her hair in a ponytail Feli ran through the door, stumbling a little before standing up straight and pulling his left arm up and under his brow and over his eye. His legs shoulder width apart and his eyes closed.
"Everything is-a locked and-a closed Ma'am!" He said sternly sounding a bit like his brother. A soft chuckle sounded the room. Maddeline looked over at him and shook her head.
"Feli, it's like this." She chuckled taking his left hand and bringing it to his side. "You lift your right arm over your brow like this, you keep your eyes open too." She smiled at the little Italian. Before pulling his legs together, "and your legs stay together. And you address your captain as captain." She chuckled standing up and bringing her arm to her brow and saluting him. "Captain Vargas all locked and closed and ready to go!"
"Alright! Good job Maddeline! Let's go!" He saluted to her before turning and acting like a robot and walking away. Only to let her giggle a little.
The pair explored the town ordered in some supplies that would be ready for them in a few days. "Feli. How about we go find something to eat? Or a place to stay. Or do you want to stayon the boat?" She asked lookking down at the boy.
"Uh.. how abou-"
"How about you come with us~?" A hoarse and deep voice was heard, the pair stopped their eyes gazing up at the bigger man. Another man following behind. Feliciano hid behind her frightened.
"Feli, what were you going to say before these horrible men disrupt÷d you?" She looked backat hjm before being pulled by the collar.
"What'd you call us? Whore." At that the bigger man with blonde hair was slapped. "What the fuck was that for?"
"Feli. Go find your brother and stay with him si?" She said pulling out a small dagger from her thigh. "You want to play dirty big boy. We'll play dirty." She cocked, the other man seemed to be quite content and happy to just sit back and watch."Heh. You wouldn't even hurt a fly." He ran to her, his fist brought out. He managed to hit part of her cheek before she slashed his arm deeply.
"There is a thing that goes around. What was it?" Quickly she ducked, sliding in between his legs, from behind she kicked the back of his knees. "Never. Underestimate a woman. And. To never hit a woman. Seems like you've just broken those rules." He fell to his knees, quickly placing her knife up her arm she knee'd him in the back, she grabbed his blonde hair and pulled it back placing the knife at his throat.
"Quick and easy. Won't always get you through a fight liebe." The other man spoke, he pulled her hair and held a gun to her head. "Did you forget sbout me?"
"Drop the gun!"
"And the knife!"
They all looked as best as they could over at the voices. Matt, Lovino with Feliciano behind his legs. Allen, Matthew, Veneziano and Flavio holding out their guns and knives.
"Ah.. wait.. Fratello. Isn't that.. Lutz?" Flavio asked his gun lowering.
"Who are you? How do you knowmy name?" Flavio placed his weaponary away along with Veneziano.
"Ciao, Lutz. Remember-a me? Veneziano Vargas?" Lutz took sometime to remember.
"Ah. Veneziano. Funny seeing you here. Bruder and our ship sunk so we're stranded." I placed the knife back up my thigh pushing the gun away from my head.
"We don't have much of a crew. But we have two ships. So you could join us." I mumble shrugging. "Yeah. I'm Maddeline Williams by the way. Or. Matthew. Depends on my identity."
"Lutz Beilschmidt. This is my bruder, Gilen." He got up slowly stretching. "Well if you have room. Then why not? Vwe shall join you. It'll be fun. Captain." He chuckled pushing his hand out, shaking her's.
"Welcome aboard Lutz, Gilen."
