I Will Sail With No Pirate! (mxm)

Chapter 7

(When your roommate babysits your dog and she cuddles, but she doesn't like to cuddle with you ever lol.) 

No!

His mind didn't waste time thinking as he threw the coat out of his way and lunged. He just barely managed to snag Alexandre's ankle but they were already falling... thirty feet. The floor came up in a blur, but he wasn't focusing on how he was going to land, just on how his human was going to survive. 

As they dropped, he clawed his way up Alexandre's body and got him tucked in his arms just in time to break their fall with his with own legs. The landing jarred his entire body, but the worst pain came from his snapping left leg.

"Fuck!"

"Capt'n!" 

They dropped to the floor after he lost his balance, but when Alexandre shakily got himself to a sitting position, he sighed with relief. His human wasn't dead. The man did look completely bewildered as he stared down at him, though, panting heavily from the fall and shock of the situation.

"I'm fine, Desden."

Reaching down, the blood captain quickly gave his broken leg a yank, setting the bone, though he hissed from the pain that radiated up into his rib cage from the abrupt movement. He stayed on the floor for about ten minutes as he felt his body heal the injury. Alexandre was smart and remained right where he was. If he had tried to run, he would have told Desden to just knock him out. He was already extremely mad that he had tried to run, but then add to that that he had tried to kill himself? If Alexandre had been just another human, he would have taken him back to the ship just to make him walk the plank and drown in the icy ocean waters.

"Why did you save me?"

Eh?

The blood captain looked up at him with an annoyed glare.

"Because you're mine. Why would I let you kill yourself just to get away from me? I will be the one to end your life, not you."

With a grunt, he slowly got himself sitting, then continued, "and that young boy you are so fond of will be your punishment. When we return, you will slit his throat."

He couldn't be serious!

Alexandre couldn't manage to shake himself free of the horrible images running around his head at the man's words. The blood captain wouldn't really kill the boy because of him, would he? His thoughts trailed back to what Desden had said about them not getting food... He would feed them to each other. Then he'd definitely punish him by using someone he cared about. He would do it.

"Captain...."

"No, I will not change my mind. Now get up. We're going back to the ship."

Alexandre realized that the captain was already standing above him with an impatient look on his face. He had just gotten injured only minutes ago, but he knew that they healed incredibly fast. He had stabbed him before, after all, and little good it had done. 

With a defeated sigh, Alexandre got himself up and began following the captain while Desden trailed a few feet behind them. As they got to the peer, he stepped a little closer and tried again, "captain... please?"

A deep growl was his response.

"Please, I'll do anything!"

When they stepped onto the docks the man spun around and snarled right in his face.
