Chapter Seven
***(cringes and waits for the hordes of German goats, and Irish pickles to be thrown at her for not updating.) I am sooooo, so sorry. I have been a real slacker lately. But never fear, here is chap. 7.
Azize made her way through crew members that were going about their business on the deck, pushing through them with her elbows. When the way was clear and she spotted Silvers cabin, she took off as fast as she could, but stopped just as fast when she heard one the members of the crew call out.
"Planet ho!!!" he called. Everyone gathered around the side of the ship, looking over at the planet that Azize called home. Earth.
"No…" she whispered to herself, staring at the planet, then looking at the all the crew, knowing their fate. She gulped and looked down at the deck, the guilt rushing over her again. She closed her eyes tightly, trying to figure out what to do. Would Silver still turn around now that the planet was in his sights? She shook her head thinking that knowing Silver, turning back now would be out of the question.
She lifted her head again to look back at the planet they were approaching rapidly. Her breath caught in her throat as she tired to figure out what to do. She looked around herself, and her eyes landed on a certain guy that was looking toward the planet with a grin on his face. What had she done?
She looked over at Silver who was exclaiming about how rich they were going to be. Rich? Oh yeh, they'd be rich alright. Rich in elven daggers and arrows flying at their heads. She walked over to Silver and pulled on his sleeve to get his attention.
"Silver can I talk to you?" she asked in a whisper, but loud enough for him to hear. The old cyborg turned his head toward her, with the smile still plastered on his face.
"Sure ye can lassie. Didn't I tell ya, you can talk to this ol' cyborg anytime, no problem." he answered walking away from the group of on lookers. "Now lass, what can I do ye for?"
"We have to turn back." Azize blurted out quickly. She stood looking up at the cyborg for his response.
"Turn back?" Silver asked puzzled with an amused look on his face. "Why would we turn back now? We be right here lass, right here wit' that treasure down there." he said grabbing the map that was tucked in his belt and holding it up in front of her. She gave a small growl and snatched the map from him.
"Its not real Silver, the maps not real. I lied…"she said looking away from him. She could feel his golden eye upon her, but she still looked away.
"What are ye talking about lass? This maps as real as this arm." he said holding up his one good arm with a chuckle.
"No silver its not. This maps about as good as that arm." she said pointing to his robotic arm. "The map may have been real once, but not anymore. And we have to turn back now, or…" she started but was interrupted.
"Now lass. Ya know I don't like lyin'. And I know one way or another you be lyin'. We're gonna go down there and get that treasure, ye don't have to come but don't start lyin' to me just cause ye don't want to go Azize." Silver said and pointed toward Earth looking at her disappointedly. He brushed past her and called out some orders to prepare the ships to go down to Earth.
The girl gave small cringe when he called her by her name instead of lass. That always meant he was mad. She gave a sigh and looked at the crew scurrying about, preparing to set off for the planet. She rubbed her eyes and leaned against the mast, trying to think of what to do now. Azize sunk down and brought her knees to her chest, unaware that a pair of blue eyes were gazing down at her.
