Later on the ship…

Hm, nice ship they got here. Decent shape and space plus steady material, however, looks a little heavy. What I found more surprising was that it was the blondey's ship AND she's driving it, I miss judged her. But there is NO way I'm telling her that. Now we're heading straight to a place called Skull Island, I asked what it was and was told it was a haven for pirates. Seem legit.

"*Sigh* dang", I said sitting down and stretching on the deck.

"Everything okay miss", Tara asked me.

"First off you can stop calling me that, I have a name"

"Oh right we weren't properly introduced", Tara said sitting down, "My name is Tara Fairlead, may I hear your name please?", she asked politely and calmly.

Shoot she's got manners, didn't expect that level of kindness from someone like her.

"…Rebecca"

"Pleased to meet you Rebecca, you want me to heal your wounds", she asked lending out her hand.

"Sure, go nuts", I said putting my arm on her hand.

She took a look at my arm and gave it serious eye contact, I don't like the looks of that. She soon placed her other hand on my arm then it started to glow, I feel something working 'cause it's better already. Unfortunately my headache still wanted to stay.

"There, how do you feel?", Tara asked calmly.

"Better I guess", I said looking at my arm.

"That's good", Tara said with a light smile, "If you don't mind me asking, do you remember anything before or after you were possessed?"

"I don't think that's any of YOUR business, now if YOU don't mind I need to rest"

"Ooookayyy", Tara said slowly getting up and walking away.

*sigh* Stupid headache, making it tough to sleep. At least it's warm out here 'cause it's helping me relax. While I was waiting for the sandman to knock me out I looked around, most of the crew members went into that room across from me. The only ones out here is the annoying blondey, whose is steering the ship, and the bull whose is just staring at me. It's both creepy and distracting, tough to sleep. *sigh* Don't think about it, just focus on sleep. Sleep, sleep, sleep…..

5 hours later…

"…Rebecca…Rebecca….silly girl…..time to wake up"

"*GASP*!"

"Rebecca it's okay, we're here now", Tara…said.

"Ooh…"

"Are you alright?", she asked concerned.

"I'm fine, I just…need to…get…up…ah", I said trying to get up then fell.

"Uuuh", Tara said sounding confused.

DANG IT! My body is way too relaxed, I can hardly move!

"Do you…need help?", Tara asked nervously.

"What's going on here Tara?", the annoying blondey asked.

"She…can't get up"

"Aawww is the little girl having a tough time standing?", the dang aggravating girl asked with a smug face.

"mmmrrr…", I growled looking away.

"Okay then, KOBE! Get this girl off my ship!", the girl said walking away.

"Wha-wha-What?! HEY PUT ME DOWN, PUT ME DOWN DANG YOU! OW!"

That dang bull carried me off the ship and dropped me on to the ship docks.

"Welp, awful seeing you and hope I never see your angry mug again", the girl taunted, "Bye bye", she said walking away with a stupid smile on her face.

Dang iiit, dang it, dang it, DANG IT! I can feel my pride slipping off this dock and falling into the sky, and worst of all I STILL CAN'T FREAKIN' MOVE!

"Would you like some help?", Tara asked politely.

"Rrrrr!"

"Please, I want to help you"

"Um Tara", the rat said worried.

"Why! WHY ARE YOU HELPING?!", I shouted struggling the get up, "I've been nothing but rude to you, and YET you are STILL helping me?! WHAT YOU PITY ME OR SOMETHING?!"

"No"

"Don't…lie to me!", I shouted.

"I'm not lying", Tara said raising her voice a little, "All I know is that you had one heck of a day: you've been possessed by the Armada for who knows how long and you're in a lot of pain, you at least deserve some kindness and help"

"….!"

"So please, let me help you"

"…You are weird"

"…*giggles*"

"What?!"

"That's the first time anyone has called me that, hahaha"

I can't beat her, she's too nice. So I allowed the help, however, the rat picked me up instead. Okay first it's for the best because Tara doesn't look like the physically strong type and second I am freakin' embarrassed by the fact this rat carrying me like that dang bull. Somebody end me!

"Here we go", the rat said properly putting me down by a fountain, "I'll just uh, be next to her", he said scarcely moving next to Tara.

I was then given a canteen that was filled with the water from that fountain…UGH it's awful!

"Is the water that bad?", Tara asked.

"My tastebuds are a mess", I said handing her the canteen.

"Hehe"

"*sigh*…by the way, what were you guys doing on that pitiful island", I asked sitting up.

"Oh we were looking for someone, but we ended up finding a clue on their whereabouts"

"And where may that be?"

"I believe it was called El Dorado"

"!"

"Is…something wrong?"

"Don't say that out loud", I said with a serious shocked look.

This scares her and the rat even more. Daaang, I forgot about that. This is bad, really bad. How long has it been, how much do they have? Dang dang this is bad, I have to do something. But HOW?! I don't have a-

"Rebecca!"

"Wha-what?!", I shouted coming back to my sense then looking at her.

"You know about that place, do you?", Tara said with a pretty serious face, "I need you to tell us what you know", she said placing her hand on my shoulder.

"….Alright, but not here", I said removing her hand off my shoulder, "If your blonde head friend doesn't mind, that ship is the best place to talk in secret"

"Okay, but…first we have some shopping to do", Tara said getting up, "Let's go"

"You're not going to ask if I need help?"

"No need, you drank the water from the life fountain"

Huh, now that I think of it I feel waaay better than before. Weeelp, I can use a new set of clothes, weapons, AND A FREAKIN' MEAL!

"I've been meaning to ask, why are your eyes red?", Tara asked walking beside me.

"Someone told me it was called genetic mutation"

"That's really something", Tara complimented, I think, with a smile.

"Says the girl with emerald green eyes"

"I get it from my father's side of the family"

Heh, family.
