"She can't fight us forever!" stated Dahlia. Cortes glanced quickly around him; he was flanked by a curious Mahad and Lena and was feeling rather
claustrophobic. He snapped his eyes forward again when Wayan spoke.
"What about that anti-Sajin stuff we found on your brothers' ship, Cortes?"
"Use it." ground out the captain.
Below them, Diwan gasped in shock, frozen to the spot with fear as the anti-Sajin drug filled the air around her.
"No!" she gasped as it entered her body. Her head began to spin and she staggered to the side slightly and clenched her teeth but couldn't stay on her feet.
She crashed to her side, her breath coming the slower pants. He heard rather than saw the St.Nazaire dock and tried to raise herself but couldn't move, it
was like she was paralyzed.
She watched the dark shape of Wayan coming towards her and bending down.
"I'll take her." growled a voice. Diwan looked skywards and say Cortes bend down. She tried to move but once again the anti-Sajin technology prevented her
from doing so. Diwan tensed slightly as she felt Cortes lift her up with ease and pull her to him slightly. All else became a blur, fading to black as she passed
out.

Her own groan sounded rough in her ears. Diwan raised her shoulders and bent her head, hanging it between her arms as the oxygen and blood rushed
back to it. She relaxed and lay back down on the bed, swinging her legs over the bed she rested her head on her hands and breathed deeply just to get her
balance back. Suddenly, she stood up, where the hell was she?!
The door opened and Diwan stood up and stood in a fighting stance. What she didn't expect was for a pirate to stand in the frame looking at her. it was
Dahlia.
"Give it, Diwan. You're not going anywhere." she scorned.
"Oslo will come for me!" she snarled back.
"I don't think so, you're replaceable in his eyes." snorted the blonde Pirate. Diwan growled, the truth hurt but she couldn't face it right now.
"Speechless eh?" sneered Dahlia and Diwan realised she hadn't spoken for a while. She stood up, taller and was about to come back with a reply when Cortes body was silhouetted in the doorframe.
"Dahlia, leave her be." he ordered. Diwan shivered at the power in his voice. But narrowed her eyes when Dahlia turned to Cortes and whispered something his ear, her hand lightly on his chest to steady herself. Cortes glanced at Diwan momentarily and held her gaze for longer than he meant to. Diwan on the other hand was just slightly curious as Dahlia left and it showed a little on her face. Cortes raised and eyebrow and titled his head, pausing for a moment and then stepping into the room and locking the door behind him. Diwan stepped back and lowered her head slightly, looking at him out of the corner of her eye and sidestepping.
"You're taking a risk aren't you, Cortes?" she asked in a reserved, neutral tone.
"I laugh in a face of danger." was the blunt statement. Cortes lifted his lip slightly as he said it, exposing his canine teeth. Diwan felt ice cold sweat drench her back. Cortes looked out the window and the looked at Diwan holding his head in a high position.
"What's this drivel I hear about Commander Oslo coming for you?" he asked in a solid tone. Diwan sneered at him.
"Drivel? You'll see Cortes. You and your pathetic rebellion will be crushed." she snarled. Cortes just gave a cool look.
"Indeed..." he growled."And where exactly is Oslo going to find you, my dear? Your last co-ordinates' are of the block you where captured on, and anyway,"
he looked directly at her. "You're disposable to him."
Diwan snarled and lashed out, to her surprise Cortes caught her hand easily and tightened his grip, forcing her back and onto her knees. Diwan gritted her teeth and bent her head, forced to her knees by a pirate! Cortes leaned in closer, pinning her to the wall. They were eye to eye.
Liver chestnut facing dark olive green.
"The truth hurts, Diwan." his breath was warm and soft on her face.
Cortes let her go and turned on his heel and calmly walked to the door, he tapped on it twice and it open. Stepping out, he cast one last glance back and Diwan and the left her presence.
