Chapter 7

Faster! I need to run faster. Let me not get caught by him. Please! I can hear them. They are coming closer. My legs hurt, my arms hurt. Actually my whole body hurts. I need to hide. Give me a place where I can hide. He's coming, Blackbeard is coming. I can feel it.

In her dream Amy was just about to get caught when she woke up. Her whole body was shaking from the dream and she knew that she wouldn't be able to go back to sleep. When she was sitting up in the bed she remembered that Law had told her that she could come to him if there ever was a problem. Having made up her mind Amy snuck out from her room and started to look for Laws.

It took Amy almost 30 minutes to find his room and to get there she also had to first check 20 other. But when she found his room she quietly opened the door and got in. After closing the door she decided to lock it in case someone would barge right in. And at the moment Amy didn't want any other members of this crew know that she snuck into Laws room because she couldn't sleep. And that got her to the next issue. How to wake him up and explain why she was there?

'Well here goes for nothing.' Amy said to herself.

Carefully she snuck up to the bed and sat down at his feet. The movement however caused Law to wake up. Before she could comprehend what happened, Law had her pressed against the wall with his hand around her neck. It didn't take long before Law realised what he was doing and let go. Amy sank to the floor holding a hand to her neck breathing hard. After a few minutes she stood up with a hand against the wall.

'Sorry to bother you. I'll just go back.' Amy said.

However before she could take another step she felt a hand on her shoulder. When she turned around she met a chest and felt two arms circle around her trapping her in a hug. Feeling overwhelmed Amy could not hold back the tears.

'Ssh, don't cry.' Law said. 'You're safe here. I'm sorry for what happened. So please don't cry.' Law said.

Somehow even though Law almost made some serious damage to her she felt safe in his arms. And right now his steady heartbeat made her relax. Without realising it she fell asleep in the arms of Law. When he noticed it he carried her to the bed and put her under the covers before climbing in himself.

The next morning Amy woke up feeling an arm around her waist. Turning around she came face to face with Law. Since he was still sleeping Amy took the opportunity to study his face. He looked calm and relaxed when he was asleep. It's as if there's nothing in the whole world that would bother him at the moment. Without thinking Amy put her hand on his cheek and started to trace the outline of his face. And when he woke up she didn't stop her exploration of his face. When Law took a hold of her hand and started to lean forward she didn't pull back. Just as their lips were about to meet there was a knock on the door.

'Captain, are you awake?' The person outside asked.

'Yes, I'll be there in a moment.' Law told the person. Hearing the person walk away he turned to Amy. 'Did you sleep anything during the night?' Law asked.

'Yes, thank you for letting me stay here instead of carrying me back to my own room.' Amy said.

'Did you have any other nightmare?' Law asked.

'No, not what I can recall.' Amy said.

'Well that's good then.' Law said as he got up from the bed to get dressed.

Not expecting this Amy started to blush and covered her eyes. This made it impossible to see where in the room Law was at the moment and when she felt a pair of lips on her cheek she removed her hands from her face. Standing next to the bed was a fully dressed Law and just as he was once again about to lean in for a kiss there was a knock on the door.

'I'll be right there!' Law shouted before the person could say anything. Before leaving he gave Amy a quick kiss.

Amy lay in the bed for some time after Law had left the room. Thinking about what they are doing. Does she like Law? Or is it some other feeling she has in her chest? For now she decided to wait and see what'll happen between them.

When Amy returned to her own room she saw that Bepo was there.

'Hello Bepo.' Amy said.

'Ah! Hello Amy.' Bepo said.

'Well it's good to hear that someone remembered to call me by my name.' Amy said. 'May I ask why you are here?' Amy said.

'Law asked me to remove your bandages and look at your wounds. He believes that you might not need bandages anymore. But that depends on how your wounds look like.' Bepo said.

'That's about time.' Amy said.

After the check-up Bepo deemed some of Amys wounds to be healed enough but there were some that still needed to wear bandages. For Amy these were good news since it means that she would be properly healed in one or two weeks.

'Well since we're done here, why don't you show me around on this boat?' Amy said.

'Well technically it's not a boat but a submarine. But sure I can do that.' Bepo said.

First Bepo showed her where everyone in the crew had their rooms. Even though Amy had already seen some of them the night before she didn't say anything about that. Then he showed her the area where they do some of the laundry. Since she had already seen the kitchen and the infirmary he skipped those and went straight to the commanding deck. When they entered Amy saw Law talking with some of his crew. Some of them Amy recognised but still needed to be introduced to.

'And lastly we have the commanding deck. This is where we control the submarine.' Bepo said. 'And let me introduce you to the crew that's here.' Bepo said. 'The ones captain is talking to are called Shachi, Penguin and Jambarl. Shachi is the one with red hair and a cap on his head. Penguin is the one with a hat that have the word Penguin on and Jambarl is the big guy.' Bepo said.

What the other crewmember names were Amy didn't hear. She had stopped listening when she saw Law. Too focused on him she didn't notice when they stopped talking and put their attention on her. When she did notice she felt ashamed and turned around when she felt her face turning red.

Before leaving Amy turned to Bepo. 'Thank you for showing me around Bepo. I think I'll head back to my own room to rest.' Amy said before leaving. What she didn't see was Law staring at her retreating back. If you didn't know him you would just see a guy looking at a girl but for some of his crewmates they saw another look in his eyes.
