Leola and Ozzie vs. The World

Chapter 32

We all walked inside the giant cruise boat and went to the top deck. We were all at gunpoint by all these pirates so we didn't have much of a choice.

We all stopped on top deck infront of a taller pirate. The top deck would be appealing if it didn't smell like dead bodies. I almost wanted to get in those pools. This must be some type of Nickelodeon Cruise ship. Sad, I don't see any children.

The taller pirate took off his mask. His neatly combed blonde hair fell onto his forehead. He was dressed in a captain's suit but no captain hat. Maybe he was the captain of this ship.

He smiled at all of us then turned to the captain of the yacht. I hate how these men try to play nice but are evil and will snap any minute.

"Brother!" He called. He held out his arms and gave the man a hug. He pulled off his mask and shared the same resemblance of his brother.

"Glad you're safe Jack". The taller one said.

"You too Mark". Jack replied. They had a long talk as if we weren't standing right there.

"See you got some more recruits". Mark said pointing at us.

"Yeah, captured them easily, they'll be great mules intill we can trust them". Jack replied.

"Well them we need to be settled in". Mark told the pirates to give us a tour of the boat fort. Unfortunately, they split us up.

I had to roll with two pirates, Mark, Rick, Alex, and Tyreese. I was ok with it since Ozzie was paired up with dad, uncle, Yael, and Tyler.

The group explored the whole fort of boats. There are more pirates in this fort than I thought. They were all crooked men. All they did was brag on how they took over certain ships and throw stuff at us. We finally stopped at one of the fishing boats for lunch.

"When's the last time you guys ate?" Mark asked. He sat next to Tyreese and Alex on the bench. I sat across from them next to Rick.

We were in the lunchroom. Apparently we weren't the only prisoners. There were many more of them, but there weren't any children. Pirates guarded the place so there was no way we could escape here. Everyone was gathered around at tables talking, laughing, and eating. It reminded me of school lunchrooms. It almost makes this place seem better.

Nobody answered Mark's question. We all seemed to be lost in our thoughts. Plus, he's the bad guy. He's murdered just to get here and is probably just gonna use us.

"I guess that means in a while". Mark said. I just bit into my PB&J. It seemed like his happy mood was pissing us off since we're prisoners and all.

"You kids got names?" He asked. Everyone was still silent trying their best to ignore him. "Ok guess not, I'll just call you all by the color of your shirts!"

"Oh my God bruh!" Rick moaned. "Just shut up ain't nobody wanna talk to you!" We were all surprised of Rick's outburst. It was dumb to scream at someone that could have you killed in seconds.

"Cool it". Tyreese murmured. Mark simply laughed.

"I could have you killed in seconds". He said playfully. "But we need more hotheads like you".

Rick grunted and cooled down before finishing his sandwich. Mark finished his food and wiped his mouth with his sleeve.

"You girls don't have to be to shy". Mark said towards us. "You're allowed to talk, this isn't Jack's yacht". " I know you girls probably want answers and the guys just want to pound my face in".

"What are you planning to do with us?" Alex asked bluntly. Mark laughed again.

"Its not like we're planning to eat you kids!" He joked. "All the mask men here are just people who realized what it takes to live". "You all know the saying, Survival Of The Fittest". "And everyone here follows that rule, no matter the circumstances". "This fort connot allow weakness, only the strong will survive". "Its the way now and it's our motto". "That means no pregnancy, children, sickness, or anything that could slow us down".
