"So if I just answer your questions, you will surrender; that's what yer sayin'?" Captain Rorien questioned, looking at Captain Morgan who had a smile upon his face. "That's exactly what I'm sayin', but it all depends whether or not ya wanna listen to what we have to say." Captain Rorien scratched his chin, deep in thought. The rest of the Sirius crew looked to Captain Morgan worriedly, but he simply smiled calmly at them before looking back to Captain Rorien, waiting for his reply. Nathan unconciously gulped as the seconds ticked by. It had already been a month since Trixie went missing, this was the only lead they had. If it was a dead end, they would have nothing to go on, and they would have to continue their endless search. Now that Nathan thought about it, if Trixie didn't have the stand out physical features that she had, things would have been so much harder it probably would have taken forever just to find a simple lead.
"Alright," Rorien answered, looking at Captain Morgan, "I will hear what ya have to say. My answers will depend on yer question." Captain Morgan released a sigh of relief and stepped forward, ignoring the other crewmen who held their weapons within eyes view. The rest of the Sirius watched their captain, the intensity of the moment growing by the second. This was their only chance and their captain was the only one who was being able to use it.
"Cap'n Rorien," Captain Morgan started, "We are looking for someone; a woman to be exact." Rorien's expression darkened with a smile and he asked, "A woman eh? She do something to stir ya up?" The other crewmen snickered at their Captains coment, but Nathan's hands clenched tightly. They had no idea how hard he was restraining himself from beating the crap out of them that instant just for their sick tristed opinions. The thoguth of a woman twisted these men's attitudes instantly; it was so sickening to Nathan he was hoping Trixie wasnt actually here. Captain Morgan nodded, "She ran away; we are desparately trying to get her to come back, but our problem is we dont know where she went."
Rorien looked at Captain Morgan suspciously, crossing his arms at his chest, "Whats this got to do with ya sneeking on my ship?" Captain Morgan simply gestured to Rorien, "My question is have you seen this woman? We heard that you had taken a girl captive after she tried to steal some of yer gold. Rumors are she had features unlike most people around these parts." Rorien rubbed his chin, a smirk growing on his lips, "What are these features yer talkin about?"
Captain Morgan held up his hands, "Well how 'bout we start with black water hair, semi-pale, oh and light blue eyes; you could say they look like-" "Crystals." Rorien finished, catching Captain Morgan off guard. Thats what he was going to say. He nodded hesitantly, "Yeah, something like that. I take it ya seen her before?" The members of the crew laughed darkly and Rorien nodded, "Oh you can be yer bottoms I've seen her. She has a piercing in her right ear, don't she?" Even though it was suppose to be a question, the way it was spoken made it sound like he knew exactly what Captain Morgan was talking about. Nathan was the one who spoke this time, "You have her here, don't ya?' he accused.
The crewmen all laughed and snickered at Nathan who was firmly locking eyes with Rorien. Rorien smiled darkly and yelled, "Lets bring the fish out of the water boys!" Three men moved across the deck. Nathan knew he was right; she had to be here. But instead of going below deck like he thought they would, the three men moved over to the side of the side. On the rail was a rope tied tightly in multiple knots; it trailed down over the outside of the ship. The three men all grabbed some of the rope and suddenly began to pull the rope up. first it was just inch by inch, then it was foot by foot; Nathan could see that the end of the rope was slowly coming up. Rorien barked, "Hurry up ya slackers! Bring er' about!"
The three men reached over the edge and pulled up something big. Nathan felt his stomach drop when he realized that something was a person. They forced the person to stand, holding theirs arms and the back of their neck. Rorien walked over to the person and grabbed them by the chin, forcing them to look at him. Icy blue eyes met his gaze, staring at him coldy. "You have a nice swim?" he asked smugly.
Her clothes clung to her body like a second skin, dripping wet from the icy cold ocean water. Bruises adorned her arms and neck, even one side of her face seemed darker than the other. She was thinner and looked even more pale if it was possible. Her eyes had bags underneath, her hair had grown and was now an inch past her waist even in her ponytail.
It was Trixie...
In that moment, something broke inside of Nathan, and it only took him a moment to realize it was his self control. He was ready to move now. He threw a sharp look at the Captain who nodded in return. It was time for revenge.
Trixie looked over at the Sirius member with a surprised expression. It only took her moments to lock eyes with Nathan who smiled darkly. "Hey kid," HE said loud enough for her to hear, "I've come to take you back."
