Trouvaille

Bahorc Island

" Where are we?" I asked to Hera as we both wait for the ship to finally stop in the island. Some villagers were waving their hands towards our ship. They were all smiling and very happy to see us...or maybe them.

" We're in Bahorc Island you see, those people are the families of some of our pirates." She uttered. She also wave her hands towards them.

I'm in awe of what I just learned. I never knew that these pirates still have their own families.

"Look!" She shouted and pointed at a very beautiful girl wearing a flower crown and waving her hands towards us.

"That's the cook's daughter, Allisha. She's very beautiful, charming and cute." She said as if it wasn't obvious that she's fancying the girl to be like her daughter someday. I smiled at her and hopefully prayed that she and the Sparrow will have their little ones someday.

One by one, they got down from the ship and ran fast towards their families. Throwing themselves with warm hugs and kisses. They were very far from the pirates I thought, and I had seen yesterday and the day I was officially inside Barbaross. All smiles and genuinely happy seeing their loved ones whom they missed.

Almost making me feel jealous...

I brushed away the thoughts and held on the railing tightly. As much as I want to go down and at least step unto the white fine sand of the Island, I was reminded by a voice from behind.

" Stay in my Cabin." He said with his usual serious tone. I pouted and turned my attention to the scowling Captain.

"I know, It's not like my Family's there." I murmured.

Silence filled the almost empty ship. He was silent, and I couldn't help but think of the two people who left me to rot in my misery. Pain, anger...no... hatred and fury. They came back all at once. Making me hold my grudge in deep silence.

I looked at his face, but it was so dark, serious and cold. His eyes were guarded with so many things that I couldn't help but not stare. And to make it even more awkward, I suddenly remembered what had happened yesterday after I was attacked by two rapist pirates. He made me sleep once again into his bed. He settled himself again in the sofa.

" I change my mind." He said. I was confused for a moment but slowly get what he was trying to imply.

"Stick with Hera. I'll have Denzel to guard the two of you." He said and walked past through me. Excitement and over joy took over my body. I screamed a thank you in my mind to the Captain before walking after him.

As we were about to go down to the water which is not really deep, I was alarmed when I saw the rope and the very complicated ladder which is used to lead us down. Though it's less scary than the dock, still I could feel that the ladder is slippery and the rope will...never place as an option for me.

I watched in awe as the Captain reach for the rope, he turned his eyes to mine that made me step backwards as I realized what he wanted me to do. But before I could take another step, his hand caught my waist and encircled his arms around me. I let out a shock scream that I was certain everybody on the shore heard. Afraid that I will fall, I held unto his shoulders tightly and closed my eyes. His grip was so tight, and it lack gentleness. Almost leaving me breathless as we slide down with my heart pumping hart inside my chest.

When my boots felt the coldness of the water he quickly restored his hand away from my waist and let go of the rope. I was stiff and I did not even realize that my eyes were widened because of the reason which I don't know...and I wish never to know.

He stayed silent and still in front of me. Both of our boots were wet as water tries to invade inside. I felt his head bent down to me.

" Go. Hera's waiting and so is Denzel." He said but still has not unblocked my way.
