"where are we?" I asked

as we came into port and docked the ship then went to dry land

"well" said Rikard with a smile on his face "we're not to far from Allen's Burg" I froze my eyes widening

"were not in cross-well?" I said taking a step back towards the ship

"I think we are" said Rikard "why?"

"it's not safe here at all" I growled I heard a stick snap and my head shot up

'not again' I thought taking a step back

"don't be so edgy" said Rikard

I heard a shing I raised my head again and took another step back

"did you hear that" I said balancing on one foot

"no" said Rikard "your just imagining it" I balled my hands into fists

"I think I'll wait on the ship" I said swallowing the large lump in throat

"okay Angel" said Rikard disappointingly

as I turned away and walked back to the ship I watched them walk further on and out of sight then I heard war cries

"okay" I said to myself "I didn't imagine that as I heard the clink clink of swords against swords

'damn' I thought as I checked my weapons

then I ran up the mast and I jumped opening up the retaining rods I sailed across the sky and aimed for the huge opened patch of space I sailed over and I pulled the rod in I spun a few times before I hit the ground rolling I stood up and sighed just to see a whole heap of people look at me with a look of surprise

"boo" I said

and they ran into the mass of fighting men I sighed then ran into it cutting my enemies down I stood straight my sword spinning side to side as I stood before the critically injured men and the trail of massacre I had left behind me I smiled as I walked back I bumped into who I thought to be Rikard I felt his sword come around and stop on my neck

"Angel?" growled Rikard "I could have skinned you"

"but you didn't" I said

"I might next time" he said striking down the person in front of him

"I told you it wasn't safe here" I chimed he smiled

"I know" he said "next time I might just listen to you if we live through this."

"And that's why I loved being captain" I said cutting down the man in front of me

"why" he asked breathing quickly "because you like bossing people around?"

"No I get to make people listen to me"

"I listen to you?" he said

"that's only because you have too" I pouted

"good point if we do make it through this a coin toss will decide who gets to be captain"

"good" I said

He pushed his back firmly into mine as a sign to stay close I guess it's clear to say I was watching his back and only a few minutes in my arms started to burn

"getting tierd yet?" asked Rikard with what sounded almost like a weak laugh

"kind of" I said taking in a shuddering breath
