Livin' Like a Pirate

Chapter 5

Everything was dark. I don't know where I was. But I did hear voices. It sounded like Yao, Alfred, Sofia, Natalia and... Arthur. He was freaking out when he did talk but he didn't say much. I couldn't make out what they were saying but I knew they were talking. After a few times passing out again I finally had the power to open my eyes. Everything was fuzzy at first till my vision cleared up. I was laying on a bed and IV in my arm. I was in nothing but my underwear and a bandage around my arm and chest/Brest aria. A blanket covered me. I looked to see only one person in the room. It was a blond man but I couldn't see his face, he was sitting on a char asleep. I tried to sit up but pain echoed through my body the second I moved. I hissed in pain. This waking up the man. He lifted his head in a saw it was Arthur. He looked to see me awake. His face was a mix of happiness, shock, worry, and more. He sat there silent. "Are you a bleeding idiot?!" He yelled, I sat up about object when pain shot me again. I hissed in pain and all anger in Arthur turned to worry. He put a hand on my good shoulder and pushed me down gently. "You shouldn't move yet." He said in a soft voice. I laid back down in defeat.

"Fine..." I said softly when I finally managed to get my voice back. "So... How long have I been out?"

"Four days."

"Dang...." I mumbled, I looked closer at his face. His eyes were red and there were streaks going down his cheeks. Had he been... Crying?

"We were all worried..." He spoke up.

"You... You were worried about... Me?" I asked a little confused.

"Well of course! You have been asleep for days! We were scared you would never wake up."

"You were only scared that if I died that you wouldn't get you money." I grumbled,

"That's not true!" He yelled, I just looked away and ignored him. "You must be hungry... Let me go get you something to eat." He said after a time of silence. He got up and left when I didn't answer. After some time he walked back in with a tray of food. He placed his hand on my back to help me sit up.

"So who was that man... That attacked Natalia..." He stayed silent for a few seconds.

"His name is Ivan. He's a Russian pirate. Natalia is his younger sister and Sofia is his older sister. Natalia left Ivan when she met Alfred. They are together. But Ivan got mad and said they had to stay away. So Natalia left with Alfred and Sofia left with them." Arthur explained, I started eating.

"It's sad... That people won't let others love each other..." I thought out loud.

"Yeah..." Arthur agreed, "Well I'm glad your alive. I must be going. And Lauren."

"Yeah?"

"If you try a stunt like that again..." He chuckled then left. I finished eating and laid back down. I fell asleep.
