5 hours later…..

"Alright guys, you can come on the ship now!", Wait….who?, "Guys?"

*Yyyaaaawwwnnn*…..Is she done? Darn, I still can't see.

"Milo?…Rebecca?", I questioned tiredly looking around for some reason.

"Yyyeeeaa…?", Milo questioned while yawning.

We seriously dozed off, I don't know what time it is now and I don't care. Milo had to guide me to the new ship while Rebecca, who woke up, followed. The wood on this ship feels tough and that aaaall I know, so tired.

"Before you three sleep I have to tell you something first", Mari said.

"Oh what now?", Rebecca said sounding tired and annoyed.

"Shut up, you can wait!", Mari shouted with anger.

"Stop!", I shouted being in no mood, "Mari what do you want to say?"

"Okaaay, the bed are a little smaller than the others", Mari said, "So me, Tara, Gaspard, and Rebecca will take the beds while Bonnie, Kobe, and Milo will take the hammocks. Don't worry Kobe I bought a spare, you'll fit in it"

Finally. Judging how cold it's getting it be must be night, maybe the early start. I don't which it is and I don't honestly care I'm too tired. I just want to get into a bed and slee-wait….something's coming to memory. Oh dang it all, I didn't make a dreamcatcher for Rebecca. Now I don't know if she's going to sleep well into night. Uuuuugh, how troublesome.

Hours later….

….

"Tara…Tara….."

Hhmmmmmmm…..not now…..I turned over the other side of the bed ignoring whatever voice in my head was saying. I feel a slight nudge going on, I can't help if it's the ship or someone is shaking me awake. I am not going to be bothered by both, I'm going to continue sleeping thank you.

More hours later….

Now I'm regretting taking those extra hours of sleep, I have an eye ache and a headache. *Siiiiiigh*…

"Your finally awake", I heard someone say.

"Huh?", I questioned blinking with my head down, "Who?"

"It's Rebecca, I'm filling in for Milo who had to help out with the ship", Rebecca said, "We're in the Spiral if you wanna know"

Already? Oh wait I was asleep, still need to wake up. Uuuugh my head and eyes.

"Can you see yet?"

"Nnno", I answered shaking my head with disgust.

"…Oh"

"It's fine…I just…need a moment", I said resting my hand on my head.

I got out of the bed I was in and tried to stand up. I really wanted to move a little, however, I wish I say the same for my body. I feel…I feel weird….

"Whoa hey!", Rebecca said catching me.

"S-sorry, I don't know what's wrong with me", I said…trying to keep myself up.

"This your first time in the Spiral?", Rebecca said slowly bringing me up.

"I think…so, yes?"

"Most people can't handle going through here 'cause of the off magic around", Rebecca said placing me on the bed, "I don't know how it is for witchdoctors though"

She's right about this magic, my body isn't handling this well. I feel like I'm being pushed and pulled by both it and my magic. It's making me….how Rebecca puts it…off.

"You need anything?", Rebecca asked, "I could go ask how long til we reach Monquista"

"Please no, I've already caused enough worry and trouble the past few days", I said waving my hand.

"What kind of trouble are talking about?"

I listed all the events that's happened while I was with this group, however, I didn't tell Rebecca the moment where she nearly killed me twice. She isn't saying and I can't guess her reaction.

"You did all that as the leader?", Rebecca questioned, "You more risky and reckless than I am, even when you don't look it"

"I'm not sure if I can take that as a compliment or an insult?", I asked raising my eyebrows.

"So where does that habit of helping people come from?"

"I don't…wwwant to talk about it", I said looking the other way with a pretty sad face.

"Fair enough", Rebecca said, "I don't need to tell you how to order your crew, but, you need to be careful when you get them involved with your habits", she said sounding pretty serious

"I know", I said placing my face on my hand feeling disappointed.

"…I'll give you some advice, you've got to think more", Rebecca said sitting next to me, "Think about the benefits and drawbacks of helping someone, also you should get to know your friends' abilities and combat styles so you know whose better for whatever. And I know I shouldn't tell this to you since you've done it, but don't be afraid to take some risk"

That was all, excellent advice!

"Thank so much Rebecca", I thanked cheerfully looking toward where she might be, "I'm so happy to have an expert of leadership here with us", I said placing my hands together.

"I'm…I'm not an expert, it's just common sense!", Rebecca said pushing away my praise.

"Of course it is for you, you're a privateer", I said smiling, "Me on the other hand, I'm still new to this"

"Don't let being a beginner bother you", Rebecca said, "The people here really trust you and respect you, plus you're not stupid. So you'll do a good job leading this silly crew of yours"

We rarely know each other and had very little to talk, but right here right now, Rebecca is helping me. She's opened up quicker than I could imagine and it…it makes me happy she is looking past us still being stranger. And not…feeling pity given, only support.

"Rebecca, you are a great privateer", I said calmly, "I believe you are"

…Rebecca is….breathing heavily? Now she's growling? Is she okay?"

"Reb-

"I have to go", Rebecca said quickly getting up and walking fast.

"Wait, Rebecca", I said putting my hand out.

"Hello, it's me Milo", I heard Milo say opening the door, "Whoa uh-uh….iiis ssshe alright?", he questioned after the footstep sounds left the room.

"I don't know", I said putting my hand down.

I really don't know….but I wish I knew.
