It will stay T for now, but I dunno yet.)
T/N. I know, my story disappeared. I had some people snooping on here. e_e It's back, and I am transferring Chapter 4 to word so I can upload it!
~NOTICE~ Hey readers! I would like to know if you would rather have short chapters that update quickly, or longer chapters that update, like, once a week? Review or send me a message!
Ethan warily glanced over at the window to his right. It was the only thing that lit up his room. The moon glowed, sending a silver streak in its wake. He shifted his weight, running a hand through his short white hair. His sighs echoed in the cramped space he called a room.
"The ship is docking soon! LAND HO!" His captains voice bellowed, running through the ship. "Man the ropes! Thirty minutes! Get the ship ready," Ethan's mind rattled, the voice still booming in his eardrums. He decided he should make his entrance for the day. Ethan groaned, feeling his legs give into his will, and pushed himself up, heading to the deck.
"So the boys finally made his appearance? Take pictures quick, or he will disappear again," the captain had a small smile on his lips, "and what honor do I have to see you out and about already?" He asked with a chuckle, putting a large mitt of a hand on Ethan's shoulder.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm here," He said, shaking off the hand. "What's happening, other than making peoples ears bleed?" He leaned against the main mast, eying his captain, Kaine, who had began to shout more orders at his men.
"We are going to dock the ship! Only fifteen minutes! Hurry men," He boomed, shuffling his crewmates along. He looked at Ethan with a scoff. "Are you even going to help?"
Ethan smiled, "No, you got this," He walked into the kitchen and grabbed a mug of rum. He came back out and looked at the hustling of the all the crew members around him, He turned and was able to see land, It was a small island community; but it was still land. "Nice," he commented. The ship was nearing the docks, and Ethan could smell the scents of a bazaar. He inhaled deeply, and a smile pulled at his lips.
The ship finally docked, and Ethan eagerly jumped over the edge of the ship, landing on his feet. He walked further inland, and followed the smells. He found himself in the middle of a busy market place, and he felt a twinge of homesickness hit his heart. He shook the feeling away easily, remembering the whole reason he left. Anger replaced that feeling and he welcomed it. He hated feeling homesick, if you could call were he grew up 'home'.
"Every single person how hated me, who despised me, everyone will know my name, whether it be famous or infamous, it doesn't matter," he thought, his fist clenched remembering his life in his village.
Ethan lifted his head and looked over his should to see a small bakery. He walked over and bought a sweet treat. He made his way to a hill overlooking the bazaar. He hopped to a roof top and walked along it until he felt comfortable enough to sit and relax. He bit into his snack, enjoying the stick sweetness of it all, savoring every bit. He sat down, watching the stars and clouds engage in a graceful dance, fighting for there spotlight in the moons essence. He hummed softly, to a long forgotten tune, placing its lyrics on his lips. His eyes seemed to light up, his emerald orbs becoming electric green. Ethan's glasses had slipped down his nose, and he pushed them back up. He bit back into his food, pausing in his chant. Everything seemed so peaceful, and he laid back, a smile on his face.
(T/N: And that's the end of the chapter! :D I'll probably post another chapter or two, depending if I can get it from B. I know its short. :UU Like I said, first story. ^^; Until next time!)
