Seven Seas

Chapter one : The Troublesome

Aang's POV

It's been a long time since me and my friends stole something valuable to the rich people of Iceland . I'm an orphan young boy from a small town called Manhattan my name is Aang DaVinci I'm 16 years old and I live in an old orphanage home it's actually an old church , me and my best friend Toppa we steal jewellery from the rich families and trade them so that we can eat better food .

Toppa and I we always loved to cause chaos where ever we go but that would be as long as we get to benefit and to feed our brothers and sisters from the orphanage,Sister Luna is the one that always took care of us .

She never  liked what we were doing but she always believed that we do what we do to help others from the orphanage,we have a friend that is not an orphan like us her name is Elena she always has been our friend ever since me and Toppa were 10 , She's 15 Toppa is the same age as I am we always dreamed of becoming pirates and take our skills  make profit from it  by stealing real treasures such as gold .

Big sister Luna wanted us to be better and when we reach the right age we can sail and seek work from  the rich Island that was away from us ,an Island that might take weeks to reach if you come from the Iceland .

"..Aang if we were to travel up north to the Big towns of the Iceland ,we might get  more than enough to trade for food that might last us Seven full weeks " .
After a long moment of silent those were the words that came out of Toppa as we were bored and unable to sleep  .

"Only if we were not orphans Toppa we would be able to do so, but we just orphan teenagers with no money to go to the big towns  ,with no one  we can trust and who would trust us and take us with them ?.." I responded with a question to Toppa without bothering my self looking at him or his direction as I was facing the wall others were sleeping, " why do you guys always go on a adventure without me ? ".

I turned to look around to whom the voice belonged to , it wasn't a suprise to find out who it was "Emily we don't take woman to go out and do a man's job without making careless mistakes" Toppa Responds.

"..And you wouldn't survive the danger we face all the times " he added to his response , Emily did not let it go  as Toppa wanted her to after saying that ."..You can't go with us Emily because what we do might put you  in danger and get us caught  ,you might even  slow us down ".

I explained to her hoping she will let it go but she didn't, we argued until Big sister came to check on us and found us arguing and starting to make noise "..Shhh! go to sleep before you wake the others and stop fighting " Sister Luna said and after those words nobody opened his or her mouth till the sunrise .

We woke up as usual and do what we always do , it will be a hot day you could tell by the sunlight we received early in the morning .
" Let's go meet Elena before Emily comes back again to continue our conversation we had with her yesterday " Toppa says .

We went to our usual spot since we couldn't go to Elena's house because her parents never liked us ,maybe it was because of what we do , nobody would blame them for protecting their child from young crooks like us but she never listened to her parents she did the opposite and helped us do our crimes and became our scout she was great at doing so, she would make a great spy you could tell cause she knew how to blend in perfectly .

Elena met with us but with bad news she told us that her mother was very ill and she needed to be admitted to Townsville hospital which was the biggest among the big towns of Iceland.

She told us that they had no money to take her to Townsville  and they still owe the Manhattan hospital medical bills ,so we decided to do a mission for her mother but a risky one in order to make such profit we needed to steal more than just jewelry boxes , we needed to steal diamond and gold in order for her and us to be able to go to Townsville .

Our decision was to steal from the old town center which had old treasures that was kept for decades ,the center was very protected full of guards it was difficult to get in .

Elena was too weak at this point ,we couldn't use her like this at all ,we needed some one else to scout for us someone active and very talkative to disturb the guards while we will sneak inside and out the Town center without being notice .

"Elena this is a riskiest job to all jobs we ever done, do you think you going to be up for it ? " I asked although I saw the way she was ,her head was on her mother's health even while we were planning to sneak inside the center
she wasn't in it at all .

" I'm sorry guys I can't do it my mother needs me now more than ever , You guys need to find someone else I'm sorry " . Elena responded leaving us ,tears dripping of her face , I looked at Toppa with a sad face as I did felt sorry for Elena and praying for her mother to be well on the inside .

Toppa looked at me back but his face he didn't show that sadness it's like nothing was wrong "We will need another member to join our little crew brother .." Toppa cut me off as I was about to finish "I already have some in mind although I don't know how you going to react about letting this person in " Toppa says.

I knew very well who Toppa was talking about and even though we didn't see eye to eye, I could have put aside our differences but still it wasn't going to work . "If you talking about Edward ,Toppa I say no even if Elena was here and we vote on it she was going to side with me "I responded to Toppa .

"Then who do you suggest we use ? " I smiled after hearing Toppa asking me that question , because I knew exactly who we need for the job .
