You were out in the forest after a long day at work. Being a physician isn't always easy and today was a rough day.
You breathed in the fresh forest air and allowed your mind to empty for once. You weren't like the other people from the hospital who would go out and drink late at night to relax, you had the feeling you didn't fit in with them for you'd rather have some peace and quiet than shallow conversations over the intoxication by alcohol.
Suddenly you were distracted by a thumping noise and saw a young man in a white suit who had let himself fall against a tree allowing himself to slide to the ground. The man was covered in blood and was gasping for air. As you ran towards him you noticed a jolly roger logo on his suit and tattoos on his arms.
"Hello sir, what happened to you? Let me look at that wound I'm a doctor" you said.
The man looked at you somewhat relieved. "I was in a fight with the navy but I managed to escaped".
You looked at him puzzled. "A fight with the navy?" looking at the jolly roger you realized he must be a pirate.
The man coughed and held his hand on the wound on his chest. "Let me take a look at that" you said.
You cleaned the wound a bit with the water from the bottle you had with you and stopped the bleeding by tying his shirt around his chest. "You still need further treatment we have to go to the hospital now".
"That won't be necessary" he responded. "My captain is a very skilled doctor, I have to get back to my ship."
"Your captain is a doctor?" you asked surprised. That sounded kind of weird to you.
"Let me at least take you to your ship then" you said. "I'm not leaving you here like this."
"Thank you." he said. "My name is Shachi by the way."
" I'm ( name )" you replied. You supported him whilst walking through the forest toward the side of the island where Shachi told you their ship was docked.
A yellow submarine was docked next to the island, the same jolly roger on it as was on Shachi's shirt.
"Shachi!" The other crewmembers called when you entered the room, they looked shocked when they saw you supporting him.
"This is ( name )" Shachi said. "She is a doctor and she helped me. I was in the town when the navy suddenly attacked me, I shook them off after a fight and fled into the forest."
You cleared your throat. "You need to look after his wound, I stopped the bleeding but it needs to be disinfected properly and I suspect his arm is broken."
"Thank you for helping my crewmate", a smooth, calm voice said. The voice came from the ( obvious )captain of the crew, a handsome man with a dark coat, black sideburns and a furry hat on.
He smirked at you making your heart race a little.
"This is our captain, Trafalgar Law" Shachi said.
"I figured that out" you responded. Law walked over to Shachi. "Come with me, I'll treat your wounds."
When he passed you he looked into your eyes with his dark eyes and you held your breath for a moment. The two left the room and you looked after him for a moment.
You looked around you as you were suddenly left in a room with pirates you didn't know. You gulped when suddenly your attention was brought to the fact that in front of you a white bear with clothes on was standing looking at you.
"Hello" the bear suddenly said politely. "I'm Bepo".
"And you can talk?" you replied. He seemed offended by that and looked down at the ground pouting. "I'm sorry!" you quickly said. "I didn't mean to offend you!"
"Would you like something to drink?", another crewmember asked you. "No thank you, It's almost dark and I still need to find my way back home!"
You looked back once when you left the boat hoping that you would catch another glimpse of Law.
They were pretty nice pirates you thought by yourself as you walked back. How nice it would be to sail around the world freely letting each day bring you something new, step beside your comfort zone for once.
You sighed, you were always thinking about your life more than actually doing something to change the things you were unhappy about. But hopefully you would find the courage to change something..
Someday..
