The Archers Mark (on hold)

Never Look Away

Stars pov. (To long to be together)

I was the fool who was befriending their second in Command. 

"What is all this scream......" I heard Spears state. I barley looked up from my knees as I knelled in Comets blood. Karen still sat crying beside me. "What happened.." She stated the disbelief in her voice. I felt her light steps walk towards us. Karen shot her head up, eyes red and snot draining from her nose.

"She's Dead!" Karen yelled. Her voice cracking and breaking my heart. I kept my head down.

 Spears shook her head "That's evident but how did it happen? Who did it?" Spears asked. Karen shook her head "I don't know."

"Does the Mistress know?" Spears asked. Karen rolled her eyes. "I just found my sister dead.....so of course I have informed Mistress." Karen stated. Her tears drying up. The pain now being replaced by anger. "Death is a daily part of our lives Karen. Move on." Spears stated. I looked up as I felt more eyes grow around us.

"James, get Mistress." Spears stated not looking directly at Comet. 

I frowned "There's no need." I mumbled and as to mimic my words. The ultimate power on our Island burst through our gates. "There's no need. I felt the disturbance and have prepared myself for......" She must have saw Comets body. "My god."

"Whoever has done this shall be killed this instant." Mistress stated. 

Voices called out "Who did this? They will pay comb the island find the perpetrators."

My heart shattered with each threat. 

I looked up at Comets body again, hopeful that maybe I was just imagining the relation. But no. That mark I've seen it on Marcos chest. It is no doubt the Whitebeards Mark. "Whitebeards men...They... That's Their mark." I heard an estranged voice say.

I took me a few seconds to process that it was me who said it. "Are you sure?" Mistress asked me. I shook my head "no." It has to be. Its they're mark. But that doesn't make sense. 

"Was there any witness's?" Spears asked. I took notice how there voices broke as they asked. I shrugged. Karen continued to sob. This time leaning in to me so her tears covered my cloak. "So other than that mark we have nothing to go on?" Mistress stated.

"It's enough for me to attack, we do have their mark all over the body." Stated Spears.

"Her body." Whispered Karen. I nodded and sat closer to Karen letting what was left of the un-soaked blood seep in my cloak.

"But is it worth going head to head with them?" Mistress stated to herself. Karen sniffled as if answering. Yes of course it's worth it look at what they've done to Karen, and when Knives....Oh god Knives.

Karen looked at me,(pulling me from my thoughts) really looked at me, her eyes locking with mine, she whispered "If it was the Whitebeards, we're going to die." she stated softly. Her normally strong voice sounded so broken and scared. 

 I gulped, my eyes widening at hers. I instantly thought about my body being held down while a war beast charges at me. Or, Being hung upside down with lacerations all over my body. No that wasn't the worst. There was so much more. I had her to thank for that. 

"The worth doesn't matter Mistress. We have the rage of our men on our side, this would be the perfect time to attack, show the world that where still a key factor of the seas." Stated Spears I could hear her men shouting in the background. Blood thirsty much?

I sighed feeling Karen start to slow down in her tears.

"Of course its worth attacking them." I stated. The group looked at me. Karen gripped on to my arm. "It's worth it, Yes, if it were just words." They stared at me. Karen gripped tighter as if trying to break my arm, however I just pushed her aside (lightly) and started to stand up.
