The Archers Mark (on hold)

The Bargain Pt 2

Stars pov.

I stood defiantly in front of a man who could easily kill me with a flick of a finger. I was shaking, eager, scared, and worried.

I felt my hands shaking so violently, I had cross'em, I then felt my right leg shaking so I leaned on it. I felt Karen's, Knives and everyone else's eyes on me.

Was I dead woman standing? I'm to young to die. I'm only 18 I need a life. All I have known was this war island I only had small brief adventure out of the island and that lead to all my scares, I wanted to explore more than just these scare's origins I wanted to go on adventures.

Now if Whitebeard killed me. I wouldn't be able to. Why did I have to open my big mouth?

Please don't kill me whitebeard. I internally pleaded.

I saw him shift his weight in his seat and move to stand up.

I gulped and was determined to not back up I stood my ground, I watched as his size grew a few more feet and looked up. I felt Karen back up and Knives did as well.

She had dealt with him only while he was sitting down. He laughed "Pretty big talk for someone who cant even face me by themselves." He stated. I made a face.

"That almost offended me, but I rather have strength in numbers then my own." I stated looking up at him.

I can easily take you old man come on lets fight!

He laughed and nodded "That maybe but its not the numbers that are bragging about there War Clan now is it?" He asked.

Karen leaned in my ear and said "Thank you for starting a war over stupid shit Star if your alive Mistress well have you chained."

Suddenly the man with orange hair (that I had knocked out earlier) jumped up yelling "Chains? Where?!" I made a face and laughed.

As did Whitebeard, Whitebeard laughed and said "good timing Thatch my son, your awake just in time to hear the rules we have to follow to get supplies."

"Ew Rules you serious Pops?" The orange stated. Whitbeard nodded "As a heart attack."

I dropped my jaw as soon as the Blond haired vest wearing bird did, "What!" "-yoi" We both asked.

The Blond Bird stepped up and motioned towards Whitebeard "Pop's you can't be serious (he motioned towards us) Its like surrendering.-yoi" I heard his accent at the end it was so smooth I'm sure I'm gonna miss it sometimes, anyway I felt hurt I just gave this great badass speech and he's over here trying to start my death.

I avoided it for a reason.

Whitebeard or Pops I don't know why they call him Pop's, sure I used sons but that was only because I knew he had sons for men so I guess that's why they call him pops. Duh.

I answered my own question.

He motioned towards me "Its ok my son despite what she says you can run free." He stated.

I almost deadpanned then I shrugged and turned around "What the hell its not like I try or anything." I mumbled.

Karen stepped up past me and said "I'm sorry but you can not, Like commander Star so rudely interrupted," She looked back at me I scoffed and leaned on the edge of the ship as Knives crawled over to me on her knees and looked up at me.

I shook my head and said "Just get up where already gonna be whipped." I stated.

I looked down at my own whip on the inside of my cloak and closed my eyes regretting my very existence. This whip was much more "simple" then the ones used for training.
