Extremely Late and Extremely short guys! Didn't really read it through, just wanted to get this post to all of you! Again, I apologize for the delay and for errors.

"Oh my God!"

I woke that morning with the smell of old rotted fish lurking around and a headache that was sure to be a migraine later. There was steam coming from the crew men on the other side below deck, and I knew nothing was going to cool down this nausea I was feeling at this very moment. As I lie there, my feet looked horribly dirty and the trousers didn't look any better. I wasn't exactly filthy, but I knew I wasn't clean. My biggest problem was this new sickness I was feeling. If I thought about it, I didn't eat at all yesterday. Maybe that explains my energy today.

"Lady of fire!?" A voice rag having my first reaction be rolling of my eyes. My head turned to the door way, in-which my head-ache followed. "You be needed on deck." It was only Ace.

I huff came from me; "Do I get to ask why?" I groaned.

"Course not." He stated simply. I got up to follow, almost falling over myself from the mediate pain from the head ache. Ace stepped toward me, ready to catch me if I fell. I was totally ready to puke. "Pull ya skins togetha, lass." He barked, gripping my shoulder.

I swallowed the vomit coming to my throat, gagging again, "How can I do that if I'm on this boat?"

"Ship." He corrected.

"Right." I stood back straight, he being cautious, "I just need some air. That's all." This head-ache was splitting my brain apart as I spoke.

Ace took a step back, looking down at my feet, "Ya needin ta be puttin those boots on that I gave you."

I did what he said; having forgot where the boots were for a short time. I followed him to the deck, and the sun kicked me in the face. The men from below were already out here, standing near the helm. No eyes looked at me, which made me curious.

Ace turned to me, stopping me in my steps, "Go to tha border. Don't be speakin, or lookin at none these men. Understood?"

Now he was able to give me orders. I simply nodded because his stance and appearance still scared me. As I took the steps to the border, I silently watched as Ace went to the wheel. My breath stopped when I saw Edward at the wheel. That made me realize why all the men were just standing there.

As I walked, still staring, Edwards's eyes met mine from above. That definitely made me look away and speed the process of my walking. I believed he was giving the men a speech….I remained nosy even as I got closer to my destination.

"We are to head to Nassau, men! All plunder shall be taken there, then we start on our voyage to Havana. We have supplies awaiting us, and I'd be in better moods if we got there before others!" He was raspier today, but maybe it was because he was slightly shouting. He seemed a bit annoyed as well.

Ace then leaned into Edward after he made his way up there. He whispered something in his ear, and after, Edwards's expression furrowed into a meaner look. I knew because I was being nosy again.

"News has come to me." He sounded off to his men after the silence. "We have no more food supply, men. Seems we must find supply somewhere else before we reach Nassau."

The men started speaking amongst each other, almost in a panic if I could have heard right.

"Now, Men!" Edward began to quiet them, "We all know we must do what we can to survive on this ship. I do not want to hear a fuss. Once we make port, we will all hunt together."

I had no idea how to do that! In fact I took offense to that because I had no idea if I had skills for that.

"All in favor say 'Aye!" The men repeated in a roar. His eyes widened in curiosity, "All not in favor, say 'Nay."

Uncontrollably, I looked like a fool, "Nay!" I shouted. It sounded pretty pathetic coming from my mouth. I sucked my lips in fast after that, growing redder as every eyes looked all the way back here to me, including Edward, who was now less than amused. I wish he was even a fraction of tickled. His face scrunched, and Ace had new worry along his eyes. You could hear a pen drop.

….A pen? Did I know that that was?
