Siren's Song

Amelia

Amelia was softly singing to herself as she sat in the barrel. She looked around when she her boots steps down the stairs. They were heavier than she remembered.

A man with red hair the color of blood was not happy. Amelia smirked as her siren side began to take a bit more control. Her voice picked up and he glanced over in her direction. As he walked over she saw he had a tattoo of a harpoon on his upper bicep with a siren upon it. As he neared her she felt her teeth sharpen and she smiled looked at him hungrily.

He reached out when a voice called. "Away from the vile sea bitch Axen!" A another male with hair as black as coal appeared.

He eyed Amelia with a dark look. She felt uncomfortable for the first time in a long time.

"The sea bitch will kill you." He snapped out.

"Sorry Obsidian." He barked in submission.

Obsidian was his name, Amelia watched as he neared her. He grasped her neck roughly and she struggled in his grasp. He gave her an ugly toothy grin as he tossed her out of the barrel and onto the other side of the lower deck.

Pushing herself up and coughing for air, she struggle to get away from this man.

He walked over and picked her up by her hair and he had something cold and sharp at the end of his blade. Amelia's cold heart stopped again as she feared she would die again.

"Obsidian put her down!" Rose a familiar voice.

Amelia looked up to see her savior from earlier's meeting.

"And why should I listen to ye?!" Obsidian growled.

" I am yer new captain and I bark the orders around here now!" He snarled and Obsidian grip only tighten. "Unless ye want to be fed to the kraken?"

Obsidian release Amelia, dropping her to the floor and she shiver a tiny bit. The two men from earlier as well took ahold of the Obsidian man and he left. Amelia felt warm hands upon her cold, freezing flesh. She looked to be eye to eye with the new captain.

"Why?" Her voice, weak from being choke, choked out.

He lifted her up and carried her to a crate full of furs. Must be stolen. Amelia looked at him as he lowered her into it carefully. She was comfortable now with this man around and she felt secure in the furs though she can't stay out of the sea for to long.

"Because you're my captive and no one else's." He spoke to her softly.

Amelia watched him, as if he may harm her. He made no moves as to doing so and so she let her guard down a bit til she heard a cry from above deck.

"Ship incoming!" a male's voice echoed down to them.

The captain sighed, stood up, gave her a warm smile, than left her alone once more. Amelia looked around for water source quickly and she saw it. Climbing out of the fur crate she drug herself to the water and climbed into it. She was uncomfortable inside of it but the luxury of sitting inside that crate full of furs would lead her to her death.
