Runaway With a Pirate

Chapter 14

Once Sawyer was done cleaning his room and placed everything back into the hidden room he turned to the door. He listened to Willow's footsteps while he was cleaning. He knew exactly where she was and was confused about why she went to her room. It wasn't dark out, so why did she go to her room? As he made his way to Willow's room Violet stopped him.

"What is it?" Sawyer asked.

"Well, sir I need to know where you want us to go now, " Violet explained.

"Set course to Windport, " Sawyer said.

"Uh, sir isn't Windport in Fothein country," Violet asked, " and aren't you wanted there?"

"Did I stutter? " Sawyer asked raising an eyebrow.

"No sir, " Violet answered, " I'll go and set course right away."

Sawyer watched as Violet walked back the way she came. He waited until he could no longer see Violet before he continued his route to Willow's room. Before he could get to her room he was once again stopped in his tracks. But this time by Doe and Joe. The two looked at their captain then at each other.

"What?" Sawyer asked.

"Well uh, you see, " Doe started to say.

"It wasn't our fault, " Joe cut in.

"Yes it wasn't our fault but there may be a hole in the bottom layer of the boat, " Doe finished.

"There's a what!?" Sawyer shouted.

"A hole, " Doe said.

"Are you hard of hearing or something? " Joe asked.

"Get out of my way, " Sawyer ordered pushing the two aside, " and find Dustin and tell him to get his ass down to the lower level now!"

"Yes sir, " the twins said.

Walking down to the lower level Sawyer was greeted with water. Staying where he was he moved his hands out in front of him and concentrated on where the water was pulling into the boat. His hands started to faintly glow a blue color as the water slowly stopped and went in reverse leaving the boat. Once all the water was out Dustin came running down the stairs nearly crashing into Sawyer. Dustin had some wood, a hammer, and nails. Not speaking Dustin made his way to the hole and started to patch it up. Making sure that the now patched up hole wouldn't let in any water. Once that was done Dustin took his leave not wanting to be the one to receive his captain's rath.

Making his way up to the deck Sawyer found Doe and Joe. They were sitting talking in worried hushed tones. Stalking over to the two Sawyer stood in front of them. They quickly stood on their feet and faced their captain.

"How did my boat get that whole?" Sawyer questioned the two.

They stayed quiet for a few minutes giving each other a look. They didn't dare look at their captain knowing that he was holding back his boiling anger. Finally, Joe decided to speak, " well you see there was a spider."

"That doesn't explain why there was a hole!" Sawyer snapped.

Joe shrank back and Doe continued telling what happened, " there was a spider and we're just trying to kill it."

"With what?" Sawyer asked holding the bridge of his nose in annoyance.

"A really big hammer, " Joe muttered.

"A what?!" Sawyer snapped. He felt all his patients and restraints on his temper vanish. The twins must have realized for they took off running. Only thing is to Sawyer running meant you wanted death, and right now all he knew was he wanted to wring their necks while he skinned them alive. He wanted to hear someone scream in pain, beg for mercy. He wanted blood and one way or another he planned on getting what he wanted.

Chasing after the two Sawyer pain no mind to a grey-haired girl that he nearly ran over. He didn't even pay attention to all the voices that were shouting for him to stop. To have mercy on the twins. The two girls were in such a hurry that they didn't realize that they had run down a hall that had a dead end. Trapping the two Sawyer pulled one of his many daggers out of it's hiding places and walked slowly towards the two. Doe and Joe sank to their knees hugging each other in hopes to comfort the other.

"Any last words?" Sawyer asked through gritted teeth.

"We're sorry, " they cried.

"Sorry is not going to fix anything, " Sawyer snarled.

"Captain don't."

"You can't kill them."

"They are still useful to you."

Many of Sawyer's crew were trying to convince him that Doe and Joe didn't deserve death. But only one stood out from them.

"Pup you need to take a deep breath."

The voice belonged to Willow. Glancing over his shoulder he saw that Willow was calmly walking over to him.

"They said it was an accident, " Willow said.

"They put a hole in my boat, " Sawyer growled.

"And they said that they're sorry, " Willow said, " but next time they won't be."

Willow was glaring at them. Why was she angry at them? She had no reason to be angry at them.

"Fine, I won't kill them, " Sawyer grumbled, " at least not right now."

Sawyer turned and started to walk to his room. He was still pissed and didn't want to be bothered with any more stupidity. Walking into the room he went straight to his bed. Plopping down onto the covers of the bed it didn't take long before Sawyer drifted off into darkness.
