Chapter-7 Contemplation
Davy's P.O.V
"Why should I hurt my self with hate? Holding a grudge against someone will only hurt me"
I think on what she said as I stare blankly at the keys of the organ. Does she know what she is talking about? I have looked into her eyes and seen hidden pain. Who caused her pain? She has not told Bootstrap or I much about her past. I suddenly decide to ask her these questions. I turn towards the dark blue sheet that is hung to shield her from prying eyes. She is trying on the clothes to see if they will fit.
"Adara-uh?" I call "come here for a moment"
"Aye" is the answer, according to Bootstrap she can not say yes because it is one of quite a few words that hurt her to say.
After a few seconds she comes out wearing a lovely pale blue dress and matching shoes. The effect is amazing, her pale skin and white hair and light blue eyes are set off beautifully by the blue in the dress. She walks over and I motion for her to sit down on the organ bench next to me.
"I was wondering about ye-uh" I start "can you tell me anything about your life?"
"I will try" she says softly
"Where are ye from-uh?" is my first question
"I am from America" she stops for a moment "and a different time"
"A different time?" if I was not who I am I might have not have believed her, but I do. "how-uh?"
"My parents ghosts sent me here, as my body from that world died"
My eyes go wide "Why?"
"They wanted me to help you, they said I must heal you"
Adara's P.O.V
After I say that his face contorts in a pained expression.
"No one can heal me-uh" he says turning away for a moment "do you know what I am?"
I nod
"I tore my heart out so I could not feel, 'cause a woman abandoned me" he looks angry now "she doomed me to love her but not have her, I became this" he looks down at himself "for her-uh"
I calmly look at him, I look at his face and tentacle beard, his hand with the tentacle, his crab hand and his leg.
"I don't see what wrong" I say "I don't think you're ugly"
His jaw drops "how can you say that" here he grabs a handful of his beard and wiggles it. I reach out and place my hand on his claw.
"I can show you something else I know" I say leaning close to him as I move my hand to his cheek "you feel my hand on your face?"
"Yes" he says his voice soft
"Do you think that only your heart can feel love and pain?" I feel my voice losing strength "your brain feels things too, even love. You have only let yourself believe that removing your heart would take away your feeling"
He sits there, I can see he is thinking about what I have said. He hangs his head and turns away, I take this as a sign that I should leave. As I leave I take a quick look at him, and what I see shocks me. He is bent over, silent sobs wracking his body. I run to him and put my arms around him.
"I am sorry!" I didn't know that he would react this way "I didn't mean to hurt you"
He stays silent for a moment "Ye should not feel sorry" he eases away from me "but please, go-uh. I need time to think"
So I leave, going to Bootstrap to see if I can have something to sew. I push my worries away, and get to work. I find sewing relaxing, it gives me something to do. Hours pass and no sign of the captain. By the time I am through the sun has set.
A/N: I hope you all enjoy this . So hopefully I will have their relationship up and running by then. R&R
