Chapter 5
~Lovino's POV~
I watched helplessly as Antonio hit the deck, the bullet Arthur had fired at him buried deep in is chest, tears clouding my vision. "Antonio you bastard don't you dare leave me!" I shouted as my tears hit the deck of the ship.
"Oh stop you're whining you Italian sow and move it," Arthur growled and Alfred dragged me aboard their ship, "The Royal Brigand." Once we had boarded Arthur turned to me and grinned slyly. I growled angrily, "You bastard, let me go filthy vermin."
"Quite the lively one," Arthur said with a smirk, "Tis a shame that someone of your beauty is stranded on the seven seas."
"Shut up you pathetic excuse for a human being," I snarled and Arthur twitched, anger in is deep green eyes. "You and your disgusting band of sea rats can all die in the fiery pits of hell," I snapped, my voice dripping with hatred.
"SILENCE!" he roared and I felt the stinging pain of a fist hitting my abdomen, knocking the breath out of me, "You are not to speak to me in that way you Italian swine."
I coughed and smirked as I spoke, "The only swine I see is you e stupido pirata." At that Arthur roared and Alfred jumped back and the Englishman beat me to within an inch of death. He then grabbed me by the neck and smirked. "Now my little prisoner you have two options rot in the brig or join my crew," Arthur stated.
"Burn in hell," I hissed and spit blood in his face. The Englishmen wiped his face and cackled. "Actually I've changed my mind, I will keep you in the brig so I can have my way with you when I please, I will break you yet my little Italian, starting now," Arthur said with a wicked grin as he threw me to the deck and tackled me. I cried out in pain and then the air filled with the tearing of clothes and more of my screams.
The next thing I registered was waking up chained to a wall and my whole body aching. I groaned and coughed, my throat sore, which then caught the attention of a very distraught Alfred who had just walked in. Once he saw me awake he rushed over and within seconds had a cup of crisp water pressed to my lips. I drank deeply, the water soothing my burning throat, and then I coughed again. "Easy now, drink all of it," he commanded and I obeyed willingly. Once finished I glared at Alfred and bit out a harsh, "Why the fuck are you helping me?"
"Because I want to, not all pirates are evil cold-hearted bastards," he replied.
"Could have fooled me," I scoffed, "What's in it for you?"
"Nothing except the satisfaction of helping a fellow human being," Alfred stated, sincerity in his voice. I stared at him in shock as I surveyed the man in front of me, he appeared to be no older than nineteen yet his deep blue eyes held wisdom and yet they still held a cheerful innocence I did not see in many pirates. "I'm sorry about what happened, I was so desperate to please my captain when really I should have been rebelling him," Alfred spoke softly, his eyes dark with melancholy.
"Why the sudden change of heart bastardo?" I snapped.
"A realization I have come to," he stated.
"Of what?" I hissed as I glared at him.
"That I had become the villain and not the hero I believed I was," he stated. I stood dumbfounded and the room filled with a sudden awkward silence that was only broken by someone shouting for Alfred. He sighed and turned to leave. "I will be back in the morning um..." he said.
"Lovino," I replied and he smiled then he left me alone in that wooden prison.
Author's note;
Well this is probably the shortest chapter ever but no worries I will be posting another one today as well. I think I did a little better at portraying Lovino's attitude in this chapter oh and also in the next chapter I will be bringing to you something I've been looking forward to writing ever since I started this story. At any rate here are the translations, there are not as many this time:
Translations:
e stupido pirata- you stupid pirate
bastardo- bastard
that's it for this chapter on to typing up the next one
