Chapter 7.
Law muttered curses under his breath as his eyes widened. Azalea's bony hand entered his ribcage and enveloped his heart. Sounds familiar?He apreciated the irony in her actions but he also derived some dark pleasure from this, the glint in her eyes, the sinister smirk..it was like watching himself and he felt somewhat pride.
She was so like him, did she even notice it?
The pain jumbled his thoughts and he was unable to do anything then gasp and stare at the woman playing around with his organs, squeezing and jabbing with bony fingers.
A small gasp left his lips. Azalea stopped and stared at him. Wide amethyst eyes slowly closed and reopened. She cupped his face and brushed over his lips with hers. Warm,soft lips touched Law's dry, exhausted ones and he closed his eyes, relieved. It felt so absurd, giving him so much pain and then kissing it better, had he been in full strength he'd laugh at her.
˝Law, I hold your death in my hands, if you were curious about my nature you could have just asked.˝- A glimmer of disappointment laced her words. She appeared ethereal to Law, so white and glowing. He lost more blood than he thought, his thoughts were absurd.
˝Why are you so stubborn?˝- Azalea wondered and stroked his cheek. He was handsome but she wouldn't step so low as War and just have sex with him, now that would only make him gloat. She would never give him that pleasure.
Pleasure and pain, yes, that she could do. Little nips on his sanity.
Law sighed and soon fell into darkness.
˝Captain! Captain please open!˝- Law was shaken from his sleep and groaned. Was he sleeping? The loud banging on his door continued and Law shifted under his duvet. He was tired God damnit!
The shuffling under the duvet stopped. He had his hand back, it wasn't rotten...
A quick inspection in the lower regions revealed that in fact his reproductive organ was still there, he felt normal, tired but otherwise healthy as he could conclude in a half asleep state.
Was it a dream?
Something poked him behind his left shoulder. Reaching for it he pulled out a single bone cuff. So they were – all of it was real. She was playing with him, making him pay for the tongue? Law had to laugh at her antics. Revenge in it's purest form?
˝I'll be up in 5 minutes Shachi!˝- Law shouted and got up smirking to himself. Maybe he should play the game too?
Life on the yellow submarine was simple. The crew got up, did their job and once in a while fought other pirates, pillaged and enjoyed feasts at inns or brothels. The needs of a pirate weren't complicated. Things got more cheerful at the rumor of a Guardian Angel. Pirates with angels? Gaah! What nonsense! And yet the crew chatted excited among themselves and wondered about the mysterious angel. Was she a woman or a man? Maybe a strong pirate that decided to support them? Or that hooker from the last summer island that was happy to take the whole crew on? She was a beauty, big chested and cheerful.
˝Do you think about the angel Captain spoke?˝- Penguin asked in the control room. He was wearing the standard beige overall and a hat with the word penguin on it. Next to him Shachi, also in a beige overall sighed dreamily.
˝I think she's a beautiful mermaid! She watches over us in the sea˝
Penguin snorted ˝A mermaid? That's not that strong, maybe she's the last hooker Captain had sex?˝
˝Drunken mumblings?˝- Shachi wondered.
˝Even he has them˝- The crew shared a little laugh and a new voice joined.
˝Maybe she's a bear like me! Captain likes me maybe she's a female bear..˝- Bepo, the navigator, in an orange overall said. Don't mistake him for a pet, the polar bear had serious kung fu skills and iron loyalty to his Captain and his crew.
˝HELL NO!?˝
˝Awww man why you crush my dreams!?˝- The men yelled back and Bepo apologized. A blue cloud of depression hung over his head.
˝She's human Bepo˝- Law's voice cut the laughter in the room like a sharp knife. ˝And she decided to anchor with us, not me˝
Silence. The crew turned to Law and watched with suspicious eyes. He allowed someone to tag along? He let someone decide on a whim? Was the Captain okay? Maybe he caught a bug on some island, some strange rare disease and now he was acting...normal?
˝I folllow the stench of death, hello there˝- Azalea came in and eyed the men with curious eyes. She had left her hood in the infirmary after taking a shower and stealing, borrowing some clothes, an oversized t-shirt cut to fit her and jeans. Shachi and Penguin both gaped at her.
˝You're the angel?˝
˝YOU'RE THE WOMAN?˝- Nosebleeds. All Azalea could see were nosebleeds. She laughed to herself quietly and observed Law from the corners of her eyes. He was stiff and watching her. Probably remembering their last experiment.
˝I am not an angel but I am a woman, my name is..D-Azalea˝- Maybe it would be for the best not to show her identity as a Horseman of the Apocalypse. Reaping souls was much more exciting when they were surprised.
˝Captain we'll be reaching our destination in 2 hours˝- Bepo said, the only not staring at her. She was not a female bear therefore he didn't care.
˝Let's have some fun boys, I'm itching to feed˝- Azalea's eyes flashed and the men stepped back. There was murderous intent in them, this woman was dangerous.
˝You're adorable when you snore but I have shit to do˝- War said in an impatient voice and tugged on Kidd's hand. The man was persistent to keep her in his bed.
˝Stay.˝- He ordered.
˝Kidd let me feed THIS INSTANT˝- War hissed. Her stomach churned, she needed substance and jumping around in his bed has only made her hungrier.
˝Gloria.˝- The single word made her stop in her tracks. Damn her for telling him her true name! Damn her stupidity. ˝Eat˝
War turned and saw Kidd slash his wrist with his dagger and offer her the blood. Her azure eyes widened and she practically jumped on his arm sinking her teeth in his flesh and sucking the warm liquid. The Horsemen need to feed, fresh warm blood.
˝You're mine, my War.˝- Kidd voice was thundering in her ears, full of possession. ˝You bring me victory and I'll feed you˝- She felt his hand brush her scarlet hair and sighed contentedly. The hourglass above her head fell with a thud on off the shelf and shattered into thousand pieces scattering the fine, red sand.
As promised another chapter! Tell me what you think in your reviews, am I forcing it or is it just right? Do you want to see the other horsemen? R & R
