I got a review! Didn't see that one coming at all thanks Crystal Raven!!
Little bit of Maeve bashing in this chapter I think, so sorry to people who don't like that.
************************************************************************ The next morning Bryn woke up with a better perspective on everything, she jumped out of bed, got washed up and changed then practically ran out of her room so that she could see Sinbad. Knowing that the good caption would already be up on deck helping out Bryn headed there first, when she reached the deck her conclusion was correct because standing at the tiller was Sinbad. Bryn walked towards him and when his eyes met hers she gave him a large smile, Sinbad looked at her and returned her smile.
"How are you this morning Captain?" Bryn inquired
"I'm doing much better now" he replied as he gave her a quick kiss. "I'm sorry about last night I don't know what caused me to act that way, do you forgive me?" he said as he pulled his best pout that he knew Bryn could never resist. "Of course I do silly" she said before laughing at him.
"Good I couldn't stand you being mad at me!" was his reply Doubar who had been watching the entire exchange just shook his head gave a little laugh and walked over to Rongar who was trying to untangle some netting in the deck.
Bryn and Sinbad had been having a nice conversation when all of a sudden Maeve came up from below and headed towards them. Not even bothering to wait until the two were done talking Maeve butted right in "Good morning Sinbad"
"Morning Maeve" he replied Bryn was about to greet the new comer when the two started talking to each other and totally ignored Bryn again, who was standing right beside them. After several failed attempts to join the conversation a now downcast Bryn turned and walked over towards Rongar and Doubar. She dropped her self down on top of a crate beside the pair and started to help them fix the netting, both of the men looked at their hurt friend then over at Maeve and Sinbad, then they looked at each other and sighed. Rongar reached out and patted Bryn's shoulder while Doubar just gave her a warm smile.
"Its ok guys I mean it! I'll just give them a couple days to get used to each other again then everything will go back to normal you'll see!" she said trying to convince the pair as well as her self.
************************************************************************
A few days past, then a few weeks and before they knew it, it had been half a year since Maeve had rejoined the crew, and the situation still had not been resolved between Bryn and Sinbad actually it had just gotten worse. Sinbad had taken to ignoring Bryn fulltime now and the entire felt for their heartbroken little witch and each of them had come up with their own form of torture for the Captain in revenge for hurting her.
Bryn on her part was slowly falling apart inside. With out realising it she had slowly withdrawn her self from the crew. She just went about her daily activities, helping out where ever she as needed but she was not her normal energetic self. The life from within her had seemed to die and the sparkle in her eyes that had been there since they rescued her from the island was slowly fading. The entire crew, well except for one Captain and a red haired sorceress, had noticed and were trying as best they could to cheer her up. But no matter what they tried no matter what they did she would just give them a half hearted smile pat their shoulder and walk away. Some of the crew had tried to confront Sinbad about it but he always seemed preoccupied with Maeve and would just tell them they were imagining it or that Bryn was strong she wouldn't stay that way for long.
The crew was about three minutes away from a mutiny when Sinbad decided to dock at the next town for repairs and to restock the ship. Seeing their chance Doubar, Firouz, Rongar and some of the others started to plan a way to get the pair back together, they missed their old happy Bryn and would do anything to get her back. They almost had a plan when Maeve announced that she knew someone in this town and was going to go spend a few days with them. So as soon as the ship had docked Maeve had left, the crew quickly went about the repairs and restocking the ship while Doubar convinced Sinbad to stay in Gala for a week and give the crew some much needed time off. Sinbad eventually agreed and with in a day the crew had finished everything and had left their Captain alone on the ship with Bryn.
Bryn was in her cabin hiding in a way until the crew had left, she did not like the looks of pity they had been giving her over the months and the last thing she wanted today was a pity invite to go somewhere with them. So here she was sitting on her bunk listening to the last person to leave the Nomad, as soon as she felt them leave Bryn got up and headed towards the deck. The last thing she had been expecting was to run straight into Sinbad who was coming down the stairs.
"Whoa sorry, I thought everyone was gone" Bryn quickly apologised
"Its ok I was coming to look for you anyways" Sinbad replied with a slight grin on his face. Bryn's eyes floated up wards until she saw the face of the man she had run it to. When it finally sunk it who it was Bryn took a couple steps backwards and muttered "and why would you be looking for me?" Now it was Sinbad's turn to take a step back, he looked at Bryn with hurt and confusion in his eyes "Why wouldn't I want to look for you?" Sinbad asked as if everything that had happened the past months had never happened. This act of absolute ignorance and stupidity was all it took for all the emotions that had been locked inside Bryn to come pouring out
"Well I don't know maybe the fact that you have not said ONE SINGLE WORD to me over the past six months!! You have barely even looked at me!! I wonder why I would be a little shocked to see YOU looking for ME!" Bryn said in a cold voice before pushing past a stunned Sinbad. As she headed up to the deck Bryn called over her shoulder "Why don't you just go find Maeve!!"
This statement shook Sinbad out of his stupor and he turned and gave chase after the brunette. "BRYN, BRYN please wait!! Come on talk to me!!" he yelled, with that Bryn stopped and turned to look at him, but her eyes were cold and uncaring "I'm sorry, I really am sorry Bryn for how I acted" Sinbad said just loud enough for Bryn to hear, "I didn't even realise I had ignored you!!" he continued as tears threaten to spill "I love you Bryn with all my heart and soul don't you believe that?" "You have a funny way of showing that caption" Bryn replied but the iciness in her voice wasn't there anymore and her eyes were slowly starting warm up ~~No Bryn don't listen to him!! He'll just hurt you again~~ she told herself but her heart wasn't listening.
Sinbad continued taking a step closer to the witch "I swear to you I never meant to hurt you! My heart breaks at the thought that I caused you pain, how can I make it up to you?" he said as he fell to his knees in front of her "Is there anyway? Please tell me there is a way! I can't lose you Bryn I can't!" Sinbad finished tears streaming down his face "Please" he whispered.
Bryn watched him through clouded eyes she reached up and touched her face noticing for the first time that she to had tears rolling down her cheeks. After a few moments of silence Bryn managed to choke out "I don't know Sinbad can I trust you? Or are you going to go back to the way things were as soon as Maeve comes back? Because if that's what is going to happen I can't stay with you"
Little bit of Maeve bashing in this chapter I think, so sorry to people who don't like that.
