Beyond The Ocean(NO UPDATE)

Chapter 5

"Of all the money that e'er I had
I spent it in good company
And all the harm I've ever done
Alas it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To mem'ry now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be to you all"

The song was ringing in my ear as I was about to open my eyes. I couldn't remember anything. All I could recall was blue. The blue color of her eyes.

I felt heavy and my head was quiet dizzy. I moved my body and turned, making me face the ground. Or to be more exact, the shore.

Now I could guess where I was. One by one, I could hear the sounds of nature now. The sound of the waves hitting the shore. The sound of sea birds flying around. The sound of the wind moving trees' leaves. The sands were hot. It must be day time!?

I moved my hands and helped myself sit. Indeed it was daytime. I was left on the shore right beside the sea.

All of a sudden I remembered all the events that happened last night. I watched Emperor sink like that. I watched all my shipmates get eaten by the sharks. I lost everything. Emperor was my everything. I had plans.

As I was deep in thought, I heard a wail of pain. There was a man lying a little bit farther. He was bleeding and his side was deeply injured.

I ran toward him, trying to see if there's anything I could do, but as I got close to him he pulled out a pistol.

"Come one step closer, and I'll waste a bullet on you.." said the man as he was pushing his teeth from pain.

"I was going to help you, not a big deal!" I said as I tried to get closer slowly.

"I'll shoot it! Don't get closer.." the man shouted.

"But you're..." I was about to complete my sentence that he pressed his finger. For a second I thought he shoot, but then I realized the pistol was empty.

"Fuck it!" Said the man as he spit out a bunch of blood in his mouth. At the moment I realized he was lying on a board, and I could read the name 'Acheron' which I guess was the name of the ship attacking us.

Now I could see why he's so protective about me. I got one step closer but then he got up as fast as he could and ran away into the jungle.

What was he hiding? He wasn't even wearing crew clothes. He couldn't be one the crew. Maybe a merchant that has something worthy to deliver..

The newly born pirate inside me pushed me forward to run after him. If there's anything worthy, if there's money, that should be mine, cuz I'm a pirate now!

Following him wasn't that hard. I only had to follow his blood trace. He couldn't run much, he was injured.

Following his trace, I found myself in a cave. I could hear his panting breath echoing around. I slowly stepped forward, and hid myself behind a broken cave wall. He was sitting beside a skeleton biting his lips in pain. I didn't expect him to see me, but when he did he shoot at me.

Luckily, he hit the cave wall and not me. He drew away the new pistol he found in that cave since once again this pistol was empty too. Then he started to run ,but he hit a stone and fell on the cave ground.

I looked down at him as he was turning to face me.

"P-please..I'm dying..help me!" He said as he was almost crying.

"I can't..!" I said in a calm manner.

"I'm begging you! I'm having a lot of pain..please!" He was begging. Of course he was.

"I was going to help you at first, but you tried to kill me.." I said and leaned forward to take a better look at his injury. "..what should I do to you, huh?" I asked.

"I'll give you anything! Please! Save me!" He begged again, panting even more.

"I'm sorry.." I said holding my knife in hand.

After searching his pockets I found some things. There was a letter with royal sign on it, and a bag of gold coins.

"Mr. Donvan

We are very grateful to hear that you found the ring. If this ring is the one you proclaimed you will get the promised reward . Come to Havana in haste. Show us your loyalty, and we will welcome you as brother.

Sincerely yours H.G.A"

H.G.A? What does that even mean? There was a ring mentioned. I think it worth a lot.

I started from his clothes, and wore them. " alright Mr. Donvan, let's get your prize"

I easily found the ring in his finger. A silver ring with the shape of a cat.

"I hope you worth a lot cuz I really need money.." I said.

I was somehow broke. All the money I had was gone by now with Emperor. Aside from that, neither did I know where I was, nor I knew how to get out of it.

I started exploring around to find fruits and food. As I was wandering around I heard a pistol shooting from far.

There are other people in this island too? Well, that's great news! I could get to havana this way.

I leaned and tried to slowly go forward.

"Please, I didn't do anything! I'm just a merchant!" Said a man.

I looked even more closely, observing the situation. There were 3 men tied to each other, and 5 guards. One was targeting those men, 2 other were watching around, the 2 left, were searching the bushes so no one was hiding there.

I changed my position, hiding in another bush that was closer to one of the guards. I made a small sound to attract the guard, and when he got close enough, I broke his neck and hid him there beside me. So did I to the other guard searching the bushes.

The other two guards were standing in a way that their back was facing me. I got close as slowly as possible, making sure not a single sound was made. Then pressed their heads to each other. Before the last guard could think, I took his pistol and shot at him.

"T-thank you! Thank you sir! You saved our lives!!" Said one of the men. He was middle age, with blonde hair , wearing fancy clothes. He was also a bit stuffed that made me guess he is the merchant.

The other two men started getting the boat ready as soon as they got free.

"Simon May pleasure to meet you sir.." Said the merchant.

"Adrien Agre- I mean, Adrien Donvan, the pleasure is mine.." I replied.

" my men prepared the boat, we'll be moving soon, would you like to come along?" Asked Mr. May.

"Where are you heading to?"

"Havana, we need to deliver these sugars, and then we'll head to Kingston.. oh! And we need a captain to ride this ship, since we lost ours.." he answered, pointing to a dead body beside himself.

"I'll be with you to Havana, but after that you need to find another captain.." I said as I got into the boat.
