Trouvaille

Crooked Crews

I was becoming more impatient as hours pass by. The growing confusion inside me is craving for answers. I started doing nameless stuff to make myself entertained while waiting for the sun to finally rest. The Captain hasn't shown himself since that moment. Even Hera and his bloody handsome husband.

At last!

I looked out the window and found that the sun is finally setting down. I giddily clapped my hands in excitement and quickly got outside the cabin. The hall is still so quiet like what It was earlier in the morning.

I did not think twice of going beyond the hall. Cold breeze welcomed me as a greetings for tonight. The first thing that caught my attention was the big beautiful moon. It was like a floating torch giving light into the dark vastness of the sea. I smiled as I remember what had happened to me right before I was caught in my Aunt's house. While I was dreaming of becoming one with the sea, I was already united with the moon.

My gaze shifted to the quiet and peaceful surrounding. Odd since no other sounds are present other than the clashing of the waves. Where did they all go?

The night was becoming more colder as air traveled beyond the soft thin fabric I am wearing. I heard music and broke of laughter as I stayed there for a while. I followed the noise and it brought me downstairs. Beside the stairs is a room with an opened door. Without having second thoughts, I quickly advanced inside.

Bloodshot eyes, amused grins, scary and deadly stares made me stop from my almost entrance. I wasn't inside yet but I already got all their attention.

Inside the room is where the Pirates, Hera and his husband and the Captain are dining. The food which are served in the long table almost looked like a feast in the middle of the sea. Hera's smile went up to me and his Husbands frown made me pull back. I did not dare glance at the Captain for I have seen in my peripheral vision his untamed darkness. Everybody was silent and the crews were watching intently at me. I could even say that they are not very pleased to see me and to have me interrupting their nightly feast.

"I'm sorry gentlemen..." I said almost like a whisper through the thin air.

I mentally face palmed as the Captain stood out from his chair and violently walked towards where I am. Everyone are watching his every steps. I looked down and avoided his gaze. When I saw how his boots blocked my view on the floor my mind went to complete haze.

"Finish your Dinner. Don't let her sudden appearance be a distraction." His voice howling towards the pirates and all of them went back to talking and laughing.

"I'm...I'm hungry." I muttered still looking down.

I felt a hard and rough hand in my left arm. Seconds after that I found myself being dragged towards the dining table. He made me sit beside the end of the table where he is seated opposite to the side of Hera's husband.

The pirates did not seem to care to me, that even the pirate who was just sitting beside me accidentally elbowed me when he tried to reach for a food. Bloody pig! He hit my cheek, I winced in pain and caught the attention of the Captain.

He eyed me questioningly while I am busy rubbing my cheek. I frowned at the rude pirate.

" Eat." The only thing he said before he resumed to eating.

Tsk, the bastard does not even know what his rude pirate did.

I just rolled my eyes to him and decided to eat when my stomach started to growl.

I tried to get the leg of the roasted turkey to satisfy my famished tummy but I was very amused looking at the four large turkeys.

Wow, I haven't known that it's possible for a pirate ship to have a roasted turkey for dinner. I thought all of it would be fish and nook, since practically their life revolves around the ocean.
