. Dead silence is never good

Out in the open sea, the sun was setting, the moon was rising, and the waves rocked a certain pirate ship with its figure head designed to represent a crescent shaped moon. Where the crescent curved, sat a girl with dark purple hair and some slight blue strands of hair hiding along her long silky hair, looking out at sea with a look of worry. Not to far from where she sat were three other pirates standing, watching the worried girl on the crescent shaped seat with some worried expressions on their faces as well. They seemed to be wondering what the girl was thinking about, them knowing she isn't the one to sit around and think rather than to run around and try to look for some entertainment around the ship. In the small group of three there were two boys and one girl. One of the boys had short white spiky hair who appeared to be the shortest of the two. He carried a sword on his back that was about his size. He wore black pants and a white shirt with a black and white sweater. Next to him was a guy with red short hair, that reached the tip of his ears. He wore loose gray pants and a brownish sweater with stripes going across the arms zipped all the way up to his neck. The girl who was next to the the red head had orange shoulder length hair with a sunflower on her ear. she wore a bright yellow shirt, sleeves reaching her elbows, and some blue shorts that reaches her knees.

"Whats up with her? She never stays this quite for too long." says the red head.

After a minute passes the orange haired girls answers the question asked. "She's probably just thinking about the next island. Ever since we mentioned that we will be arriving at Shimahanta island in two days, she got quieter."

"Do you think that she's scared of the island?"

"...i don't think so...at least i hope not."

The red head turns to the white headed boy and asks,"What do you think Captain?"

Said Captain turns to look at the red head then turns back to staring at the girl. "Shimahanta island is what you said, right?" The orange hair girl nods her head as in saying 'yes'."Then that might be the reason as to why she is acting like this."

Both the red and orange hair look at each other with confused looks and both ask, "What does the island have to do with how she's acting?"

The Captain looks at them with a smile and says,"Because that's were an old 'friend' is at."

The red head asks, "And who is this old 'friend'?".

"If you three would stop talking about me behind my back i would very much appreciate it." says the purple hair girl who jumped back on to the deck and was now walking past them.

"But we aren't talking behind your back. We were just worried about you, that's all" says the orange head.

"Well there's no need for you to worry about me cause im fine."

"Baka, we could tell when somethings wrong with you. You get quite and you head towards your favorite seat and stay there for hours."says the red head.

With what she herd she stops and turns around to face them with a wide smile on her face. "Alice, Duncan, and you to Toshiro... nothings wrong with me okay im just a little tired and i ended up falling asleep on my spot. I wasn't thinking, i was sleeping. So there was nothing for you guys to worry about." She turns around and heads back to the girls quarters. As she starts walking away a hand grabs her wrist and stops her from walking any further. She lets out a sigh and says, "Toshiro im really tired and i just want to take a shower and head to bed. So please let go of my wrist."

"As your Captain, i want to know whats bothering you, and no making up any lies cause i could tell when your lying to me." remarks Toshiro. There is silence for a few minutes the only sound herd is the wind blowing on the sails. " We could stay out here al night if you want , Elipsis." this time his tone was a lot more serous than before.

Alice and Duncan both knew their captain could get serous to get his answers, but what shocked them was that he said her name. It was rare to hear him say that name. Usually he would call her Eli even when he was serous but instead he called her by her full name. Even Eli was shocked to hear her name being said by her Captain. She starts to speak without facing him. "That's something i didn't think i would hear from you."

"What?Elipsis? That is your name is it not?"

"Yes it is. But you already know that i don't like being called by that name."

"I do know that, but since its your name and that being the only way to getting you to talk more... i decided to call you by your name. Besides you never really say my full name either unless somethings wrong."

With this said she turns around, her smile now gone and replaced with a frown. "Its like you said to them, that's where an old "friend", as you say, is at. So there i told you now can you let go?"

"Nope. There's more to it than that."

"What do you want me to say?"

He smiles and says with a smirk,"How do you feel?"

Eli stares at him for a moment then turns to look at the now shocked Alice and Duncan."How do i feel? I feel fine if thats what you mean. Now let go."

"Im sure you knew what i meant so tell me and ill let go."

Eli starts to form a fist with her free hand and swings it at her Captains face but is grabbed by his other free hand. The two spectators are now worried to where this might lead to. Alice steps forward but is stopped by Duncan."Dont do anyt hing." Alice was about to say something but is stopped by Eli's shouts.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY? DO YOU WANT ME TO TELL YOU THAT IM SCARED? BECAUSE IF THATS WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR THEN ILL SAY IT...IM SCARED! IM SCARED TO GO THE NEXT ISLAND!IM SCARED TO MEET HIM AGAIN! IM SCARED THAT HE MIGHT WANT TO HURT YOU GUYS!AND I AM SCARED THAT I WONT BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!" shouts Eli with tears rolling down her cheeks. " I dont want to go to that island...I've thought about it... i just dont want to go there...so can we just go past that island?"

While Eli was screaming the rest of the crew came out to see what the commotion was about and to their surprise they saw their vice-captain crying, two frozen spectators and a not so happy captain.

Toshiro stares at the crying Eli, lets out a long sigh and says, "We need to stop on the island for supplies."

"But cant we just get the supplies on the next island?"

"Umm...im not sure whats going on here but we dont have enough food for another day." says the ships cook, Sunny.

Eli turns to see that the other crew mates had come out and she quickly wipes her tears away hoping that they didn't see her crying. " But we could just catch some fish and eat that till we get to the next island."

Amogst the remaining crew there were twins named Nell and Bell,them being the youngest of all of them, they both stepped up and they said "But we don't like fish."

"Well you guys are just go..."

"No the one that's going to have to put up with something is you. Your gonna have to put up with docking at this island." interrupts Toshiro.

"But I..."

Yet again he interrupts her and says,"Look we are only gonna stay there to get supplies that we need. We will probably have to stay there for a day at the most depending at what time we arrive there." he then let's go of her wrists.

Eli remains standing but now looking at the ground. She starts to clench her fists again but this time making no move to try and punch him. Alice notices her fists and she starts walking to her but yet again is stopped by Duncan. She makes no move to try and break free from his grasp. Eli starts to speak again but with her head still down. "Please...let's not go there...I don't want to..."

"You won't see him. He probably won't even be there...so don't worry about him okay." interrupts Toshiro again.

Eli lets out a sigh and starts to head towards the girls quarters. Nobody made a move to stop her nor did they say anything, they just watched her go into the room. After the door shut behind her there was deadsilence on the deck. The one to break the silence was Duncan. "okay this has been interesting. So let's all just head to our rooms and get some rest for tonight.".Nobody moves and neither does he. After some awkward staredowns another crew member breaks the silence.

"So are either one you guys gonna explain what just happened?" Says the ships navigator,Lunai.

After this said Toshoro starts to walk away and says,"you guys tell them I don't feel like talking anymore."

Both Alice and Duncan let out a sigh and star explaining to the other crew members.
