hey everyone, finaly I'm back with chapter two. I know it took a long time but here it is.
I'm just gonna say that i don't own any of the characters. And my co-writer owns her OCs. So that's it. Then on with the story
Chapter 2
Lovino's P.O.V.
There were a lot of people that I had never seen before, running around on the deck. Everything mostly seemed like chaos at this point of time. As I walked with Antonio over the deck, I could feel every crew members eyes was locked on me. Some stared angrier than other.
But I spotted one specific person among the many stares, one person who had a different look on the face. He was directly smirking at me. But I just quickly looked away.
"Captain Antonio is here!" one of the crew members shouted. And everyone turned their attention to Antonio, instead of staring at me.
"Alright everyone" he started.
"You're probably wondering why we're all gathered here again. It's because I found the map for the treasure that we never found!" he continued in a higher voice. He was met by lots of jubilation.
I was quiet amazed by the happy reaction from the crew members.
"We're heading south this instant!" I could hear the happiness in his voice as he spoke.
"Staff the sails!" as those words were said everyone headed to their jobs.
I just stood by, not knowing what to do with myself, I just made sure that I wasn't standing in the way.
Antonio left for his cabin, I stood a while looking around the deck before I followed him.
I stopped in the door to the cabin, leaning against the door frame.
There was a lot of room in the cabin, a bed along one of the walls. The other one was covered in shelves and drawers. The back wall was one big window, showing the surface of the calm water.
In the middle of the room stood a desk with a chair on each side.
"It's been such a long time" Antonio was unpacking his suitcase.
"How long?" I asked.
A bit of thinking time later.
"Around nine years" he sighed a bit.
"That's a long time"
"Yeah, and you can see it on my cabin too"
I took a look around and there were dust everywhere, and it all seemed messy.
"Can't you clean a little in here?" I was catch by surprise. I would never have expected that he would ask me to clean.
"No, do it yourself"
He turned to look at me "yes..."
I just blackly said no again.
"You shall not go against your captains orders!" he suddenly shouted.
"Do you really expect me to call you captain?"
"Yes!"
"Then you're going to keep dreaming, because that's not happening"
"I have the commando here! I can do whatever I want with you, and everyone else!"
I tried to keep my cool, it wasn't normal for him to shout like that.
"Maybe you can do what you want with the others, but not me"
He walked over to me. The way he stood there in front of me, really made me realize the height different between us. He was looking down on me.
"You have no idea what power I have on this ship" his voice was sharp as he spoke.
Judging by the slow rocking from the ship. I was sure that we had left the port.
"No I have to admit that, but there is a difference between the ship and me" I pushed myself up from the door frame. And looked him in the eyes.
"And there is a difference between here and at home, so you have to follow my orders"
"You can try and make me" I knew I was challenging him, but I wasn't going to give up that easily.
"Begin cleaning or you can spend the rest of the trip in the hull of the ship" I can't believe it, he was threatening me.
"Have I before done what you've asked me to...no, and have you ever punished...no"
"It's different here, so do as I say" he looked intense at me, and left the cabin. I looked into the cabin and mumbled to myself "like I would ever clean"
I left the cabin to take a look around the rest of the ship. The crew members around the deck were still setting sail.
I decided to explore the lower deck of the ship. I walked down the stairs and ended up in the kitchen. The cook was standing behind the counter, making some kind of food. He was a bit thick, of what I could see. Most of his hair was hidden under the red bandana he was wearing. He looked at me.
"Oh a new one, it's not often Captain Antonio is letting anyone on board" he smiled a bit at me.
"What do you mean?"
"You must be just as special as the rest of us, what can you?" a look of confusion spread across my face.
"What I can?, nothing out of the ordinary"
"Oh, then what are you doing here?" he looked curious at me.
"Antonio brought me" I just pulled on the shoulders.
"Well well well, he he, then you're probably going to be used for something else"
"He wants me to clean, but I have no intentions of that"
"Oh if it was an order then I'd advise you to do it"
"Hmpf...why?" like I've ever done as he'd said before.
"You don't want to know what happens if you doesn't"
"How bad can it be?" the Antonio I know wouldn't do anything to me, not of what I know anyway.
"I don't know, the last one who didn't follow orders, let's just say that we never saw him again"
I didn't know what to answer, I couldn't even imagine Antonio killing somebody.
"As long as he hasn't threatened you, then I don't think anything will happen" he smiled at me, and took at carrot, and started slicing it. I watched him for awhile before speaking again.
"Do you have any tomatoes?"
"Tomatoes? Of cause, it's the captain's favorite"
"I know that, can I take one?"
"Only one then" he kept slicing carrots. "So you know the captain"
"You could say that" I walked over and took a bright red tomato, that was lying in a barrel.
"Where have you met him?, the port or somewhere else?" he asked.
"I've lived with him since I was little"
"Really, are you family or something?" he sounded surprised.
"No, he needed a housekeeper and got me, although I haven't been the biggest help" I took a bite of the tomato.
"Then why did he keep you?" I was thinking a little while eating.
"I don't know" I simply answered.
"Hmm...maybe he's planning something. But then you should know what he's capable of doing"
"Not anymore, he have been acting different since we came on board"
"That sounds strange, maybe the life on land have made him soft" he laughed a little.
"Probably.." I ate the rest of the tomato.
"So you don't know anything about the pirate life?" he took out some other vegetables and started slicing them too.
"Not really, I have to admit that" he stopped mid in a movement and looked at me.
"Be careful then, you can probably not protect yourself"
"Who have said that I can't protect myself!" I couldn't keep the anger back, I'm not that weak. I can take care of myself.
"Have you ever experienced anything?" he asked.
"Uhm..." I didn't know what to answer, yes something has happened to me, but Antonio was always there to help me.
"You see, you have no experience"
"No I've always been saved whenever something happened, but I can take care of myself"
He laughed at me "let's see" I didn't answer. He looked at me.
"You look pretty thin"
"What?" I looked a little surprised at him.
"You don't look like somebody who can take care of yourself. I would advise you to be careful. Even some on this ship can be pretty harsh, especially towards newcomers"
"Hmpf...thanks for the advise"
"Just so you know it" he started to slice the vegetables again.
"Yeah yeah" I looked at him one last time before I left the kitchen and walked back into the sun.
I looked around the deck, most of the crew members were relaxing and some was sharpening their swords. I sat up along the mast and enjoying the sunlight.
Out of the corner of my eye I noticed a group of people sitting and looking at me. I tried to ignore them. One of them said something to the others, and they all laughed. I kept an eye on them.
They stood up and walked over to me. The one in front was smirking at me.
He was about 180 high, had short black hair, and dark eyes. His clothes were half dirty and he was wearing a ruined jacket, and a pair of brown boots.
"What do you want?" I spat at them.
"My name's Amando, and we just wanted to see who you are" he said in a friendly tone.
"Now you have seen, so fuck off"
He totally ignored what I said and continued.
"What are you doing here?"
"Sitting" I said bluntly.
"That's not what I meant...why are you here?"
"That isn't something you have to know"
"Maybe you're some kind of secret weapon"
"Secret weapon?.." what were wrong with them.
"Yes against the British"
"How did you get that idea?"
"There can't be any other reasons why our great captain would bring such a scrub as you" he said.
"What did you call me!" I almost shot up:
"Scrub! Do you have a problem with that?"
"Yes I actually do!" I shouted at him.
"Then what are you going to do about it?" without hesitation I hit him. He bend a little over.
"Uff...is that all you have" I hit him again harder and this time in the head. He bend more over, and I just looked at him. To my surprise he started laughing.
"What are you laughing of?" I asked, and he stood back up, smiling.
I didn't say anything, just watched him. He pulled out his sword. My eyes widen and I automatic took a step back. That didn't help, he just walked closer to me.
"h-hey you can't just use a sword" my voice was a bit shaking.
"Of cause I can" he said and pointed it at me. I kept stepping back but he followed. He lifted the sword to my neck.
"Now tell me what you're doing here" he said with a smile.
"The same as everyone else" I answered.
"You're not strong enough"
"You can call me weak but you can't change the fact that I'm staying on this ship" I said a little afraid of the sword. He walked even closer to me.
"Then I'll just have to find something to use you for" he smirked at me once again.
