HI EVERYBODY! Did you miss me? :D
I have no idea of what is going on during this chapter. So far I'm just writing down whatever comes to mind.
IMPORTANT:OKAY, I have went back and redone the last two chapters so please go and read them so you know what is going on! People have been taken out and scenes have been, kinda, switched around. So read them!
ALSO IMPORTANT:I have recently noticed that I can now add covers to my stories. But since I am to busy making a few costumes and going on family vacations I don't have the time to design my own cover. So if anyone is interested in making a cover for this or anyone of my stories fell free to go ahead!
"Sir."
"What do you want?" I said as I glared up at my second in command, a Norwegian named Lukas. I was not in the mood to deal with something simple and unimportant. My hair was messier than usual and my eyes had bags under them, I was not looking my best ever since my brother had fallen into the vast ocean one week ago.
"We know where Peter is." At that I jumped out of my chair causing it to fall back. They found my brother! I quickly walked up to him and looked over his head to see if Peter was on the deck.
"Well? Where is he?" Lukas looked at the floor and sighed causing me to raise an eyebrow at that.
"Lukas." I said in a warning tone. He held up a letter to me, it was small and rolled up like it was attached to a bird, it most likely was. I quickly unrolled the little piece of paper and read it. The first time I didn't believe it and had to read it over again. After the fifth time of reading it I dropped to me knees and yelled out all the cursed words I knew in all the languages that I knew of.
That bastard of a Spaniard had my brother and he wanted to meet me to negotiate for him back!
It has been a week since I saved the British boy from the water. I can see that it has been pure hell for him. They kept him in the prison at the bottom of the ship, everything down here smelled like fish and it made me want to throw up. Somehow water ended up in here so there were shallow puddles everyone and it sucked when I stepped in one.
Feliciano and I were both assigned the task of watching the boy and making sure that he doesn't escape. To put it in a simple way the boy is a very, very interesting person. In his tries to escape I have seen him turn into a girl, a cat and nearly blow a hole in the side of the boat. The little fucker just didn't give up. I was currently on my way to bring him his dinner when I heard soft sobs. Great, he's crying. I sighed and walked up to his cell and bent down pushing his food through the slot. Once he noticed I was there he wiped his tears away and glared at me.
"Stop that. Glaring at me won't get you out of this cell."
"Then you should open it up and let me out so I can stop staring at you."
"Once you get out where do you plan to go? We are in the middle of the ocean dumbass." I said as I rolled my eyes.
"I can swim!" He said while standing up quickly.
"Sure you can." I stood up and turned around walking a few steps before I stopped.
"Hey kid, I don't know what the captain wants with you but he needs you alive." I only told him so he didn't have to worry about if he was going to die or not. I walked back to the deck to feel a arm wrap around my shoulders. Not this idiot again!
"Antonio fuck off!"
"But Lovi I just want to spend some time with you." This moron has not left me alone since I got onto the ship! At first he was bugging me about Feli s and mine past, then it was about our family and now he does it to annoy me!
"Whatever. I need to find my brother." Antonio looked like he was going to complain but then a small yellow bird flow past us. He let go of my and started to walk to his room without even saying a word. Weird. I just shrugged and walked away from the deck looking for my brother. After about fifteen minutes I felt the ship change course, it was pretty hard not to miss it when you almost fall overboard.
"Everyone I have something every important to tell you." I turned around to see Antonio near the steering while and smiling at all of us. Everyone gathered around as their captain cleared his throat. Damn it seemed like his smile was getting even bigger.
"Everyone, we are going to Tortuga to disscuss something every important with our dear friends the Arthur and his crew." The crew burst into laughter and shot off a few rounds of bullets. Antonio raised one of his hands and silenced the crew.
"We have to be civil this time mi amigos, we need to seal the deal with them." The crowd groaned at that and put their weapons away.
"Excellent~" Antonio smiled at that and started to walks towards me again. I rolled my eyes and turned around quickly trying to make my way towards the cabins but the bastard had caught up to me.
"Why can't you just leave me alone?" I said while glaring up at him.
"Because you are so cute when you are angry!" As he said that I punched him in the stomach and walked off. No I was not blushing, my face is red from angry.
It took a total of two days to get to Tortuga. Those two days were filled with pure torture. Every minute I was being annoyed by my so called captain and my brother. When I wasn't dealing with them I was stuck doing odd jobs around the ship, how is a guy suppose to catch a nap around here? The training Feliciano and I get almost everyday has become harder to handle. I fell like they are preparing us for a fucking war! Judging by how the crew has been so tense after Antonio told them about meeting up with the British guy I think we are going to war.
I sighed and leaned against the railing looking out into the sea, I seem to be doing that a lot lately. I need to find something fun to do on this ship before I start making this a habit.
"Lovino, what's with the long face?"I heard as I felt one of my cheeks being pinched as my friend Bella stood next to me. She was a nice Belgium girl who I still can't believe is a pirate, shes pretty cute too.
"I'm bored as hell! What do you guys even do for fun on this ship? Also, how much longer until we reach Tortuga?"I asked her, and no I wasn't whining. She put a finger on her chin and thought about it before she spoke.
"Well it should be another hour or three until we reach it." I groaned at that which caused her to giggle, I went back to looking at the ocean ignoring her.
"For fun we mostly play pranks, play cards, drinking contest, knife throwing and we think of ways to kill people!" Okay, maybe she wasn't as innocent as I thought she was. It seems that everyone on this ship is crazy, wonderful. I didn't notice when Bella moved closer to me, but when I did I started to blush. She kept moving closer and I took a step back but that didn't stop her. She was a few inches shorter than me so she had to look up at me. Her smile grew wider as she moved closer. I was trapped between a railing and a pretty girl, and I think I don't like it. Before anything else could happen Antonio seemed to pop out of no where and wrap an arm around me.
"My dear Bella, why don't you go and see what your brother is doing? Make sure he hasn't shot anything out of anger please." I looked up at Antonio as he said that and resisted the urge to shiver. He was smiling at Bella but it held something dark behind it, and he was slightly glaring at her. Bella was glaring back at him but she nodded her head.
"Why do you get to keep the cute one."She said as she walked off. Cute one?
"What does she mean by that?"
"Nothing. I overheard that you were bored, si? Come, I think a card game is going on in the mess hall." I didn't really have a say in wither I wanted to go or not because he still had his arm around me which made it easier to drag me towards the card game. When we reached the mess hall Gilbert, Mathais, Carlos and Young soo were sitting around a table holding cards. They all looked at us when we sat at the table before dealing us some cards and turning back to their game.
"So, what are we playing?" I asked.
"Gold fish." Carlos said without even looking p from his cards. Did I hear him right?
"Gold fish? A band of crazy, blood thirty pirates are playing gold fish?"
"Well it's the only game that Young Soo and Gilbert don't cheat at." Mathais said as he laid a pair of cards down. They can't be serious. After a few minutes of watching them play I found out that they were very serious. I sighed and picked up my cards and looked them over, well this has to be better than being staring at an ocean. The game went on for a hour or so, we played a few rounds and I actually won the last few, I was on a roll. During this game I was in the lead and I grinned as I looked at Young Soo.
"Got any fives?" After I said that he flipped the table and pointed at me in a angry way.
"YOU'RE CHEATING! Nan neol jug-ilgeoya!"* I just stared at him, was he really getting upset at a kids game? At this point I didn't really care because he through a plate at me, I quickly dodge it. This cagna.*
"Cosa diavolo c'รจ di sbagliato in te! It's a fucking kids game!"* When I said that Young Soo cursed at me and was getting ready to punch me. Well if he wanted a fight then hes going to get a fight! I rolled p my sleeves and went to punch him only to have my fist grabbed by Antonio.
"We're here." He said as he let go of my hand and flicked me on the nose. I yelped and grabbed my nose, that bastardo! Antonio did the same thing to Young Soo before he walked away.
"I swear, I feel like I'm taking care of a bunch of kids." I heard him say before he walked through the door. Young Soo and I glared at each other as we walked towards the door. We finally arrived at Tortuga, it's about fucking time. I found Feliciano standing next to Ludwig and waving me over towards them. When I was walking towards them I looked towards the island to see a lush forest in front of us, I also spotted a ship not to far away from us.
"Fratello this is so exciting and scary! We get to see other pirates and go on a adventure with them! I wonder if they are nice?"
"You idiot, they are the enemy! They most likely want to skin us alive before being friendly to us." Feliciano frowned at that and looked towards the group of people getting off the ship.
"I know, but it doesn't hurt to look on the bright side." I heard him say before he grabbed Ludwig's and my hand and pulled us to the shore As we walked closer to the group I saw Peter with his hands tied behind his back and a piece of cloth wrapped around his mouth, standing next to Berwald. Once everyone was off of both ships the silence kicked in, there was a good ten feet in between the groups. Antonio walked up to the front of the crew and smiled, as he did that a blonde guy walked to the front of the other group. Judging by the clothes he was wearing and the trihorn hat on his head with the expensive looking feather and jewels, he was the captain of that ship. He scanned over the crowed and scowled at Antonio, Peter was at the back of the group so that the blonde captain couldn't see him.
"Arthur, mi amigo! How has everything been lately?" Antonio said while keeping his smile in place, that bastard is going to get us all killed.
"Cut the crap Spaniard, you know what I want so let's get down to business. What do you want?" Wow, that guy sure knew what he wanted and wasted no time at making it known.
"We will give you Peter back." He paused and gestured for Berwald to bring Peter to the front of the crowd. Everyone in Arthur's crew looked tense and ready to grab him and run. I wouldn't blame them if they did. The little brother of their beloved captain who was lost at sea right in front of them. They would be crazy not to try and take him back.
"If you agree to work along side my crew." Everyone seemed to look at Arthur as he raised an eyebrow at that.
"This doesn't seem like you, no gold? No taking my ship? Why should I have my men work along side yours? For all I know this could be another one of your bloody tricks." Antonio's smile only grew wider at that.
"Well I noticed that we are actually looking for the same thing." Arthur tensed up at that but then relaxed and simply looked at him.
"And we both have the same enemy, so I was thinking since I have the map and you have the compass we can work together and find what we want faster." He finished off while fixing his hat. What are they looking for? This must be something amazing if they have to work together.
"No one is my crew is to harmed by yours, I am the only one allowed to use my compass, and I am allowed to give your men orders." Arthur said after a few minutes of thinking it over.
"Alrig-"
"I'm not done." Arthur interrupted him. "You do realize that this is going to be a long and dangerous mission. If we do find the fountain and you double cross my crew I will not hesitant to kill you or anyone in my way. Do you understand?" Antonio nodded his head and looked to Berwald giving him the signal to untie Peter. Once Peter was free he ran towards Arthur and started to cry into his chest as Arthur hugged him.
"You've grown soft Arthur~" Antonio teased him.
"So have you, don't think I didn't notice the glances you've been giving to a certain member of your crew." Arthur said while grinning at him before glancing at me. I am officially confused right now, it must have showed on my face because Arthur let out a chuckle and looked back at Antonio.
"So you like them young?"
"Your one to talk." Antonio shot back at him. The two just glared at each other. I don't understand this! I heard that they were enemies and here they are talking as if they were old friends! Pirates are fucking crazy. The two pirate groups slowly melted together after that. Tino, Berwald, and Mathais moved towards two people with silver and blonde hair and started to chatting with them. Gilbert moved towards s brunette and messed up his hair causing a girl to hit him with a frying pan. As I was distracted by the group in front of me I failed to notice that Feliciano was starting to walk towards Arthur, I grabbed his hand stopping him.
"Are you crazy!?" I asked him. My brother can not be that stupid!
"Si! I want to let him know that his brother was in good care when he was on board!" Before I could say anything else he grabbed my had and led me towards the pirate boss. Fuck, we are going to die.
"Hola mister Arthur. I am Feliciano and this is my twin brother Lovino! I just want to let you know that your brother was in good hands when he was on board." Arthur raised an eyebrow as he looked at him before he turned to look at Peter who was still clinging to his side.
"Is this true Peter?" Peter looked like he was thinking about it before he nodded his head.
"Alright then. I suppose I should say thank you for taking care of him, so thank you." With that he turned around and walked away but not before he was joined by a tall blonde guy. I let out a breathe that I didn't know I was holding. "Well that went better than expected." I said as Feli and I made our way through the crowd and towards the ship. So far so good, no fights had broken out yet. When a heard a bell being rung I looked to the top of the ship to see Yao and the brunette girl from before announcing that it was time to eat.
