I heard footsteps go across the upper deck and I pushed my face into the pillow. My head felt like led, I slightly opened my eyes to see captain standing over the maps and reading them. He looked over when he saw me shuffle and he grinned. I raised an eyebrow and sat up.

"Wanna wipe the grin off your face?" i asked a bit bitterly and he walked over to the chest of cloths.

"You were certainly asking for diferent last night." he tossed my shirt from yesterday at me. It was still reletivaly clean, with a couple of dirty spots. I looked down to see I was sat in only my brazzier. I blushed and sent him a glare as I pulled my shirt over my head. 

"What the hell did you do?" My felt my hand grasp the sheets and my tone became more serious then before. he smiled and lifted my chin, making me look into his eyes.

"Nothing you didn't like.." My eyes widened and he snickered as he stepped away from me. I clentced my fists and shook my head. my body felt different, my mind went a bit numb and i pushed my hair back in thought. "After i was done playing, you fell asleep." he said as he was back over to the maps.

"Your a real bastard you know...?" i said quietly and he looked at me, I stood up and pulled my boots on and went towards the door to the upper deck. I felt myself growing teary eyed and warm. 

I don't usually get upset about things he says. but even so... that was my first... and it was while i was drunk.

"Stop with the tears..." he said sternly and i stopped where i was and turned to look at him but he was already hugging me into his chest. My eyes widened and he sighed and looked away "You really are no fun... i can't even tease you.." I gripped onto his shirt. 

"What did you do?" I asked, my voice shakey. 

"Just some kissing... you seemed like you wanted more but as i said i wouldn't please my self with a girl like you." he kept his face looking the opposite way. I  hid my face in his chest. Releived I let out a small sob and i punched his chest roughly. "Ow! hey i told you already your too violent for me.. i like submissive girls. they let me look for their treasure and don't give me trouble."  he smirked and i rolled my ees disgusted. I pushed him off of me and went back to opening the door 

"You disgust me..." i walked up to the topdeck and felt my head pounding slightly. i looked up to see grey clouds above us, i released a sigh. I saw william walking towards the kitchen with crates in hands. i went over and took one from him and walked with him into the kitchen. He smiled kindly at me and we both put the crates down next to eachother. he tugged at the collar of my shirt slightly. 

"When did ya get a hickey scar?" I put my hand on my neck and blushed. he smiled and nodded with a chuckle. "Nice.. so guessing you had fun." he added.

I went into thought of my memories of last night. It wasn't very much but i remember The captain getting on top of me and kissing me. I placed my hand on my mouth and i could remember what his lips felt like, soft and gentle.

William chuckled and i snapped out of my thoughts. he shook his head and said "You bite your lip in a cute way when you blush." I looked away and crossed my arms. I hadn't even realized i was biting my lip. we stopped talking for a while and organized. 

"Hey william...?" i said and looked over to him, he looked at me with a light nod. "Why is it that Jonathan is captain?"

He paused as if trying to figure out the correct way to word it. He took out some meat and began seasoning before he finally spoke. "Well... he became captain because he killed the previous captain."  he nodded with a smile as if that explained everything.

"So? why him? why not your biggest or strongest of the crew?" I asked wanting more information.

"Well the previous captain was a bit more harsh and gruesome with hosteges. He'd kill the men and through them over board. and women he'd give no chance. He'd have his way and let the men have their ways ... then kill the women." I felt my heart ache slightly. If i had met the previous captain instead of Jonathan then i would've been... I shook my head of the thought. 

"Okay but that still doesnt answer to why him..." i pointed out. 

"Because jonathan took action when the rest of us feared the previous captain. I guess we chose him because he was the bravest of us all. He stood up for what most of us beleived was right." i nodded. 

"So captain beleived that Woman shouldn't be treated in such a way...?" I asked, now understanding why he has been helping me this whole time.  William nodded then continued talking.

"It was when a woman was pulled from her child" my eyes widened as he continued "the woman and child watched the father be killed, then the captain went to 'play' with the woman and she tried to fight it. Jonathan then was ordered to take the woman and use her to please himself. when he refused the captain sent his sword through the woman's chest and just laughed like it didnt matter..." william let out a sigh before continuing. "...thats when he took the child and tossed her overboard. The men and i weren't sure of how to respond. that was the first time a child had been hurt by the captain. Jonathan acted as the rest of us stood in shock, he took out his sword and cut the captain's chest open." I was standing still, unable to move. "We then went searching for the kid but she was like 11 maybe 12, we didnt see her anywhere in sight." william looked down a bit saddened.

This story... i know it far too well... the man, the woman and the child. i know them all. i gripped my neclace and felt myself getting teary again, i shook my head and wiped my eyes slightly. William looked at me surprised by my sudden sadness.

"H-hey are you okay?" He asked and came over to me with a cloth in hand, i nodded and took the cloth and covered my face.  "Sorry i know it's a depressing story but..." i just shook my head and looked at william with a small smile, causing him to smile back at me.

Captain Jonathan... He refused to take advantage of the woman.. and took action when the child was thrown over board. It's easy to see why he was chosen for captain now. 

"Jonathan really doesnt like seeing woman or kids hurt does he...?"  i asked and William nodded, he went back to seasoning the meat. I bit my lip and thought about the story for a bit as i sat in silence with william.

I ended up dozing off while sitting on top of one of the barrels leaning agaisnt the wall.
