Oh my god guys. I am REALLY sorry for not updating in just about forever. Between work, friends, family, and my bf, I haven't really had time to write, much less think of ideas. I know, I know. Excuses are bad and I should just get on with the chapter you guys have been waiting on for a long time now. Fine. I will.
Previously…
"Did ya want some help with that?" Emmett asked, still sitting on the chair.
"Nope, I'm good."
"Well that's too bad, 'cause I'm gonna help ya anyway." He picked me up like I was a feather and placed me gently in the centre of the bed. I didn't even have a chance to say 'thank you' before I drifted off to sleep to the gentle rocking of the ship.
I woke up feeling refreshed. It took me a few minutes to remember that I had been made captain, kidnapped, and bound. Wow, that's a lot to happen in one day.
I looked about the room, my eyes coming to rest on a new plate of food, this one containing eggs, sausage, bacon, and fruit. For a prisoner I get treated very well. I walked over there, my ankles throbbing slightly from the pressure.
I had just finished the bacon and eggs when the bolt on the door slid back, pale fingers pushing the door open. Emmett walked in, a cup of something in his hand.
"You're awake! I have to go tell Ally!" He set the cup on the table beside me, gave me a quick hug and rushed out the door, leaving me confused and shocked. 'Why would he give me a hug?'
He soon returned with a pixie-like girl. Her black hair was cut short and spiked out on the sides. She danced into the room behind Emmett, her skirts ma king a swish-y noise.
"You're finally awake! I'm sorry the captain decided to kidnap you, it really wasn't his intention at first. It just kind of happened. I hope this won't affect our friendship," she said all in one breath.
"Um… Who are you?"
"Oh, silly me. I'm Mary Alice Brandon Whitlock. You can call me Alice for short though," she said with a smile.
Emmett started laughing, "You said short. Get it? Coz you're short!"
Alice and I both looked at him as if he were crazy. It was then that I noticed their eyes.
"Why do you guys have the same colour eyes? Are you related? I've never seen that colour before." That's when it clicked. "Wait, someone was with me right as I woke up the first time and he had the same eyes."
"I've actually got to go help in the kitchens…"
"Yeah, I've got to get to my post. Don't want the cap'n to make me walk the plank or nothin'." They both made a hasty exit, the bolt sliding closed as they shut the door.
"Well crap. Now I don't have anybody to talk to. Other than myself that is."
I spent the next day just sitting my bed, waiting for Emmett or Alice to bring me food or come talk to me, but they never did.
I was just about to fall asleep out of sheer boredom when is sounded like somebody put something metal on the table. I looked over and the string of my necklace was dangling from the edge of the table.
'How did this get here? Nobody opened the door, I would've known,' I thought to myself, picking up the necklace, a million thoughts going through my head.
So…? How was this chapter? I haven't written in a while so I would appreciate some feedback. Did you like it, did you hate it? Something you think I should work on for next chapter, which I will most definitely get up sooner than this one? It felt a tad bit rushed to me, but I'm not sure...
