Chapter 23

Revenge

                 Two months had past since Angelica’s father had threatened death upon the whole vessel. Nathanial played with his iron soldiers with Daniel. They both sat in front of Robert who was stirring the ship. Giggling Nathanial made little gun sounds out of his mouth. Angelica sighed happily, but something in the pit of her soul told her danger learked in the approaching fog. Soon, the whole ship was covered in a thick soup. Thomas growled as he tried to look through his telescope.

                 “This is not good.” He hissed. The pirate captain always hated fog. He liked it when he could see where he was going. Robert squinted as he tried to see through the dense grey. Two flashes came in the distance. A cannon ball crashed on deck and went hurling towards Nathanial. Angelica screamed just as Daniel put himself in between Nathanial and certain death. He was pumbled in the stomach as blood spurted out of his mouth. Alyssa ran to him only finding the ships only doctor unconscious and bleeding. Nathanial was shaking wildly as tears went down his face.

                 “Mommy!!” he screamed as Angelica scooped him up. The other cannon ball barely missed the ship as it went whizzing over the deck and into the sea. Angelica looked down at Daniel. She knew the likely hood of internal bleeding was exponential.

                 “We got to take him inside my room quickly!” She ordered Alyssa. “Chipo!” She summoned him and he came speeding towards her. Handing Nathanial to him she demanded, “Take him with Alyssa then go get Daniel’s bag. After that help Alyssa stop the bleeding and don’t forget to lock the door and arm yourself and her.” He nodded and took Nathanial to the room. “George!” She called the large African to her side. “Please help Alyssa with Daniel and stay down there and protect them please.” He nodded.

                 “Yes my queen!” The behemoth said confident as he scooped up the ever bleeding Daniel. Ever since Thomas’s injury six years ago he had referred to her as the queen of the Vengeance and had called her such, despite her protests.  Thomas was ordering the crew. Men buzzed past her as they got to their stations. Many with weapons others with flints for the cannons. Angelica drew her rapier that she kept on her person at all times. She jumped next to Robert.

                 “Do we know who is attacking us?” She asked as her eyes strained to spot the dark figure that was approaching fast. Robert shook his head then glared at her.

                 “Get below you know Thomas does not want you up here!” Before she could retort Thomas came up.

                 “Room now!” he bellowed. Angelica glared at him. Her eyes pierced his as his did the same.

                 “It might be my father until we know I am going no were. George is with Alyssa, Daniel, Chipo, AND Nathanial! They are well taken care of and when and only WHEN we determine this is not an attack from my father then I will go below!” She stomped her foot in defiance. He shook his head not having time for this. Thomas was about to throw her over her shoulder when a call came from the crows nest.

                 “Juan Garcia’s flag is flying! It’s a ghost ship!!” The man yelled terrified. “Juan Garcia? We killed him!” She thought terrified. Thomas face went pale. If they were fighting ghosts then they would indeed perish. Grabbing his telescope he looked out and saw the flag. Closing it he yelled more orders and cannon ball’s went flying. Looking through the telescope again he saw the ball’s hit the ship causing damage.
