*Law's POV*

When we got back Grace beat up Luke and yelled at him. Watching a drunk Grace was entertaining. I had figured out something interesting about her. One her personality completely flipped, being drunk she was load, opinionated, mean, and really random. Also she wasn't as strong. She was still strong but not anything close to normal.

Grace ended up raiding our ships alcohol supply. She didn't drink alone though, Bepo and Leon joined her being drunken idiots themselves. I decided to just sit back and watch the show. About four hours later Leon and Bepo had passed out. Grace was a wake and had her head resting on her hand. She shook the bottle and frowned throwing in against the wall.

"Empty." She mumbled bitterly then looked at me. "We're out of booze." I smirked and rolled my eyes.

"Because you drank it all."

"Nu uh Bepo and Leon helped." She retorted. She stood up shaking. "I'm going to bed." I laughed when she fell on her face.

"Shut your mouth." She snapped. I went over still chuckling and helped her up.

"Come on I'll help you there."

"Fine whatever." She mumbled. As we walked Graces swaying nearly made both of us fall. I sat Grace down on her bed and sat down next to her.

"Why you still here?"

"Because I need to ask you something." Grace's expression didn't change so I took that as a que to continue. "Earlier when I made you look at me why were you scared?" I didn't want to ask her, not wanting to cause problems, but I just couldn't make sense of it. She frowned and leaned back.

"Of that guy and you." She said.

"Hu?"

"I was scared of that guy and you." She explained. Now I was even more confused.

"But I wasn't going to hurt you." She shrugged.

"I'm just scared of you, him, Leon, Luke all men in general."

"Why?"

"Past experiences." From her tone I knew I shouldn't push.

"But you don't seem scared most of the time."

"I've gotten good at hiding if but that doesn't stop my heart." She said she then grabbed my hand and placed it on her chest over her heart. My face flushed a bit but I realized she was right, her heart was beating wildly.

"My heart always does this when I'm scared of someone." She said but didn't remove my hand. I swallowed hard and looked at her. She looked sad, tired, angry, and scared.

"Grace I will never hurt you." She laughed a bit and freed my hand.

"Sure and sea kings aren't huge." I sighed trying to think of a way to convince her.

"Grace I-" I stopped seeing her passed out. I smirked and stood up. I laid her on her side and put a blanket over her. Just as I was about to leave Grace mumbled something.

"What?" I asked looking back at her. She had rolled into a ball with the blanket tightly wrapped around her.

"Thanks for saving me." She mumbled. "But you're still a low life bastard." I frowned and rolled my eyes.

'I guess something's will never change.'
