chapter 4- Kidnapped at Sea

(TW: tiny bit of cursing)

I wake up and flutter my eyes open. 'Why do I smell the sea?' I think. I look around and see (or should I say SEA XD sorry, I'll see myself out), but there's only a small circle window that's shining some light in and a door. 'Great! I can get through there and see where I am!' I think happily and standing up, or at least, I tried to. I relised that my feet are shackled to the floor and my hands are tied together by tape, an item that's extremely hard to come by. 'How did I not notice?!' I yell at myself in my mind. Great. I let my head fall forward and sigh. "And I don't remember crap..." I mumbled.

I hear a loud creak and shoot my head up. I see someone with a yellow cloak, all of a sudden the memories of last night wash over me. "You! Y-y-you-" I fumble over my words before he cuts me off "didn't kidnap you? Why no, I didn't." He said with a hint of annoyance. D-did he talk in the opposite of what he meant?

I stare at him with with my mouth a gap and my eyes most likely filled with terror. He walks toward me while stating "listen, I'm not a busy guy, so I won't try and make this quick. You're not on my ship. I didn't kidnap you so you can give me intel of the castle, after I'm not satisfied you won't be working here as you don't wait for someone to come and get your sorry ass, got that?" He said, sitting down afterwards.

I didn't wanna talk to him so I simply and slowly nodded my head. He stood up. "Bad" He said, turning on his heels and walked away. "Two of my crew members won't come and show you where you're not goin' to sleep, eat, and work." He added on. He didn't even wait for an answer, he just walked away. As he opened the door I saw two men wait for my kidnapper to walk away, once he did they came in.

The slightly taller one is a dark haired brunette with glasses covered in –what I believe is– ink. He has a baggy grey shirt with a brown leather coat over it, and dark grey pants hanging loosely from his waist. The other one had lighter hair, having some bandages over his left side. He has a red and white striped short sleeve shirt and black slacks ripped on the ends.

The bandaged one came over first. "Sorry about the capim', he's... a little harsh" He spoke calmly. I just kept quiet, having my anxiety shoot through the rough. "I'm Trevor, the guy behind me is Remy by the way" He said gesturing to this Remy guy when he said his name. He waved and smiled, though it looked kinda like a smirk more then a smile to be honest.

I raised my hand a bit as a wave since I still had my hands taped and that is the only way I could greet him without talking. I guessed Trevor noticed the tape cause he went 'oh!' and grabbed a set of keys from his pants. Taking a shiny silver key and unlocked my feet first, quickly putting his knees on my feet. Putting the keys away and replacing them with a dagger. I start to squirm.

"Don't worry! I won't hurt you. If that's what you were thinking" Trevor said as he gently grabbed my wrist and cut the tape. He got off my knees and stood up slowly, as if I'm a wild animal! Once he was by the Remy one I stood up, which –again– failed.

My legs fell asleep so I fell, making an 'eep!' sound. "Woah! You ok lil purple fella?" Remy asked concerned. "L-legs fell as-sleep..." I mumble as I sit up then hiss in pain. The inked glasses man walked over, knelt down, and took my leg while Trevor had a facial feature saying 'wow'! I stuttered out a um. "Calm down lil purple. I got cha" he said, trying to reassure me which failed. He checked over my leg then stood up and gave me his hand. I hesitated for a bit then took it.

He pulled me up to my feet. I stumbled a bit since I didn't want to put pressure on my foot. Trevor and Remy quickly put their hands on my back to keep me up. We walked out of the small room, well, they walked, I limped out. Look, my leg is numb, ok? Remy started talking to me "sooooo lil purple dude, what's ya name?" Oh yeah, I didn't tell them. I kinda don't want to though, so I simply shook my head no.

Remy let out an aww then Trevor flicked him and said that it's alright to not tell them. "Well, I'm calling ya purple baby" Remy said. I cocked an eyebrow at him. "What? You wear a lot of purple and you're smaller than us." He explained. I let an oh slip out. "Since you seem to have it-" Trevor started as I found a little flap to play with on the inked glasses man's clothes "I'll call ya anxiety!" He exclaimed. I nod. They start asking me a lot of questions which I answer quietly.

Weird names they gave me but I don't wanna make them mad! Since....

I think they're Pirates.

This is going to be an annoying ride.
