How the Stars bring us Together~

~Chapter 10~

•Cancer's POV•

The pirate seemed displeased by my brother's command, and grabbed us both by the ear.

As we were dragged onto the ship, I continued stumbling as he was too fast for my small, 10 year old legs. We were then both forced down, as the Captain grabbed a whip from another pirate.

We screamed as he slammed it down on our frail bodies. This continued until our bodies were numb and had lost our voices. Both of us were about to run, but before we knew it, the ship was a few miles from the dock.. Somehow, we hadn't noticed.

"It seems we have a couple of scallywags joining us, mates!" The Captain yelled out, and the other pirates cheered in agreement.

I couldn't take the numbness anymore as I fell onto my side, breathless. The Captain just stared at me, while my brother did the same as I did, the Captain grabbed him by the ear again. I heard a scream for help, but I couldn't get my body to move again.

Splash.

The Captain came back over, though.. My brother wasn't with him.

"Where's Andrew gone.." I whispered.

The Captain leaned down and whispered back. "I suggest you do as you're told around here, learn your place, and try not to be in your brother's position right now." I could tell he was trying hard to keep a straight face, as the corners of his mouth kept twitching.
