Pirate Journey's

The island

We've been out here for months now. Shooting down smaller ships and doing what pirates do best. Drink, sing, steal and then do it all again. But this was one big desolate island. Only us ashore. Or so we thought.

"Captain! Land ahoy!" Yelled Alfred. Such a brat he is. But quite tactical and smart.. sometimes.

"All men to your stations! Roland and Prelin starboard!" I yelled out as we finally landed. "Here is where we find that big chest of gold!" Yelling out I snickering and pulling out his blade, twisting it in the sun to see it's shine. "Are we ready boys?"

"Aye Aye captain!"

"So. We fin'lly landin' ey brother?" A deep and rough Scottish accent was heard behind me making me turn my head quickly alarmed but relaxing once realising its just him.

"Just you ay? Heh. About time we 'ad a short break.." he snickered placing the sword back in its sheath hearing a cling! As iron met iron. "This'll be interesting."

"So ye spotted the lads?" He raised a brow, I chuckled nodding. "I thought you 'ere nothin but me wee brother. Look at ye now. All grewn up." He chuckled rufffling my hair to which I pushed away.

"It's been wayy too long sand." I mumble falling face first into the sand my hat flowing off infront of me.

"This is.. ah.. uh.. p-pretty big s-sis- ah! Shit! I-I mean captain!" Matthew had said quickly to which he got the reply of laughter from the rest of the crew his cheeks rising in colour. "I said nothing.."

"You can still call my big sister if you want to frérot~!" I teased sitting up. "Well let's go find some fruit and other food to bring back aboard. We may even find treasure!"

"My crew we'll go search for anything out of the ordinary." Lovino mumbled as he, Lutz, Gilen, Flavio, Feli and Luciano.

"Meet backhere before sundown! If you need us just. Whistle!" I yelled out turning to the rest of us. "Let's go scavenge for food. If you see anything odd we'll all go have a look at it." I smiled as I started to lead. Allen, Matt and James went looking in one direction as Matthew and myself in the other, collecting some fruits we placed it in a small bucket. And aftera while brought it back to the meeting point my crew and I had made. Placing the goods back on ship we decided to go search for a cave or something out of the ordinary.

***

"Captain. Captain. Over there!" Alfred yelled, my head cocking to the side to see a large cave entrance. We hadn't trotted too far. And alas we find the cave!

"Oi! You lads hurry ye arses!" Allistor, my Scottish brother had yelled.

"Alli~! Can't we just leave the poor lads?" My Irish brother, Seamus had said. He was always a suck up to Allistor. Always.

"Haha! Finally! We get to find some treasure~ we get to find some treasure~!" Jett, the odd one had pranced about happily as can be. It disgusted me sometimes.

Entering the cave Jett had lit two torches giving one to myself and the other to the other lads. There were some beautiful carvings on the wall, beautiful carvings of ladies and men, kings ruling over peasants. They all had so much meaning. We eventually arrived at a spot where the carvings caught my eye. They had a piece.. like a piece of a puzzle, two odd looking men had it running away from the locals, after the locals had warned them. The two men left on a boat and the locals were then brutally murdered all by this sort of thing. The two men had gotten some sort of disease and came back to return the piece in exchange for their life but they couldd never find the temple and eventually they too died. Well that's what I had interpretted.

"So.. that piece. It looks like it would belong to a part of a ma-"

"Artie don't ye have a piece t'at looks like t'at?" Seamus asked nearingme and pointing to the piece.

"It looks familiar.. I-I think this is it. I think we've fo-"

"Art. I was the one who spotted the cave. I FOUND it."

"I do apologise Alfred but. But are ye the cap'n of this crew?" He pushed it this time.

"No."

"What was that?" I growled pulling out my dagger.

"N-No Cap'n Kirkland." He swallowed. The rest of the crew having a laugh at him.

"That's what I thought."

***

"Hey! Over here!" I yelled, everyone in my crew ran over and followed me in, it was kind of like a cave-hide out thing. We were brought into a room full of gold items and we had found Lovino's crew, who had entered in from another direction.

"Ciao."

"Bonjour." I mumbled picking up a gomlet, it had beautiful and intricste details of a rose and a man and a woman. I placed it back down gently not really interested. "Take one handful of gold. One." I mumble, the others patience finally being awarded and grabbing the biggest handfuls they could get. Continuing to walk I hear a few voices nearby. "Oi! Shut your traps!" I whisper-yelled.

"Captain. This room has more detail then the other halls." A blonde guy, he.. he looked familiar..

"Isn't he the one that gave us you guys?" I whispered they had nodded, we decided to watch them a little more.

The blonde man ran his hands over the walls of the place he was deep in thought till he stopped and whispered something to his comrades.

"Come out. We know yer there. If ye are afta' the piece then I assure ye it's in good hands." He chuckled, I clicked my pistols the others following my lead before spreading out.

"Well well well look who's here? The ol' English hags. Am I correct Mr Kirkland?" I chuckle. My hair was put up inside snd under my hat.

"If ye look who decided to join our lil parade." He chuckled menasingly, sending a shiver down my spine.

"We were here first tea bag." I growled. "If you would kindly pass us the piec-"

"We don't have the piece. Just this stupid." I held up my hand shushing him. Looking over at the crew, they heard it. They spread out, Matthew with me.

"Matthew.. This looks a lot like.."

"The room mu-Jeanne told us about. You still have it right?"

"Oui. Course I do." I smirk turning around my back facing them Matthew turning. I lift out a small chain a silver tear drop lifting. Matthew lifted up the same chain on his neck seeing a golden tear drop to match.

"We are at the right place. The place of mothers stories.." I mumble smiling and letting a dark chuckle erode. Turning back to face them who now had their weaponary out I chuckled.

"You are to leave this island. We don't want you interfering now we've found it here."
