Chapter 3: Blue huh?
Time seemed to stop. A pair of eyes locked on me. The only thing I could hear was my heartbeat.
˝Next question?˝ - my voice was steady. Good.
˝Uhum try to stand up˝ - I nodded and leaned to the side. Legs first. My injuries still hurt but my hunger won the battle over staying in bed. Slowly my feet touched the floor. Cold steel. I shivered and a coat appeared on my shoulders.
The red-brown fur mess. Spiked. Still only one question roamed my mind. WHY?
I shook a head, but was that a smile? I felt my cheeks rose. Funny.
˝Try to walk a little˝ - Trafalgar Law said in a professional voice. Maybe he recovered or his doctor role took over. I made a few steps, on each gaining more stability.
˝Good, you didn't severe your nerves.˝- The sound of scribbling.
˝How much do I have to stay here?˝ - I asked. I hated being caged. The white walls of the medical bay where suffocating me.
˝Oh you can leave, but you must be on bed rest˝ - he handed me the pad ˝ Sign here and you can go. It says you're accepting responsibility for complications˝ - my mouth twitched, talking about med ethics. ˝I'm afraid I don't have anything to pay you with˝
˝It's been paid for˝ - huh? I turned to Kid who smirk. Great. Just great. Wonder what he'll want in return.
Sighing I sat on the bed. A medical gown ˝Where are my clothes?˝ - I ask Law. He points behind me to a neatly stacked pile. My boots, black pants and dark plum blouse. Leather jacket and magic purse. I bit my lip. Have they tried to open that thing? It was a gift from a friend who's a witch. It's a special bag. The you could store a house, 10 horses and half of the ocean in it and you'd still have space. It doesn't have a bottom. It's a bottomless pit. There were times I had to get into it to find something.
˝We're going out so you can change. If you need anything ask, I'm sure Eustass-ya will be next to the door˝ - Law's smirking voice ends my thoughts. Oh I'm sure he will. I grumble and stand up to get my clothes.
Everything was washed, no blood stains, no dirt. I changed out of the medical gown wishing I could take a shower. Maybe later at some Inn. I hope. There's still a little problem. Kid. Maybe I could find out what he wants from me and make an easy escape. Hmmm.
I looked at myself in the makeshift mirror Kid made, still Hell but I looked like myself in my own clothes.
Reaching for the doorknob I heard Trafalgar and Kid speak.
˝So Eustass-ya, what do you want from her? She might me the daughter of the Dark King, Silvers˝
˝Doesn't matter if she is or isn't.˝ - a harsh reply.
˝So you're saying you saved her because you do such things on a daily basis? I thought you were ruthless, the rumors must be changed then˝ - a chuckle
˝This doesn't concern you, and why did you tell her I paid? You said you didn't want anything?˝
˝I wanted to see her reaction after all she didn't take off your coat˝ - Damn him. I should have done that. Oh well, too late now. Speaking of the damn thing it was still here. Meaning Kid was naked. I felt heat on my cheeks. What? oh god. He's handsome but I'm not going to fall for any trick.
I opened the door and stepped out. They both looked at me like they knew I was eavesdropping.
˝I'll be leaving now, thank you for fixing me up˝ - I hopped they both got the message. Turning I looked for the exit. Steel walls. How monotone. Hmm something smells salty, sea air? That way.
I felt a presence near me and saw Kid following me ˝Where are you staying?˝ - casual talk?
˝Actually I just came here, I'm going to find an Inn˝- leave me please.
˝Didn't you say you don't have money?˝ - Not directly and I hopped that you forgot about that.
˝I'll find some˝
˝Steal˝ - he was amused.
˝Maybe˝
˝Why don't you stay at my ship˝ - I stopped dead just before the heavily reinforced steel door. What?
˝And why would I do that?˝
˝I saved you˝
˝And how is repaying you...wait I said I'm not for a mistress or anything like that.˝ - he rumbled with laughter. Great. I opened the door and stepped out. Fresh, salty air greeted me. It was sunset. Truly beautiful. Calm sea, a deep red sunset and no wind what so ever. Sadly I had a red idiot following me.
You know when you lost in your thoughts and forget about simple things? Like returning something, or a coat? And then knowing you're OCD and you fold the damn thing neatly and carry it?
And yes he noticed. Great.
I opened my mouth to try and dig myself out of the situation as something ran to the sub. Long blonde hair, a mask blue white stripped on his head.
˝Captain! KIDDDD˝ - he noticed me then ˝So you finally decided to wake up˝- I sneered.
˝What the fuck do you want Killer?˝
˝When are we leaving? The men are restless after not doing anything for 4 days˝ - he craned his neck at me. Kidd took his arm and pushed him a couple of meters away.
˝She could be a new recruit.˝ -OH REALLY? ˝She is the daughter of Rayleigh Silvers, or so i think. ˝
˝I can hear you from over here and I am˝ - I said a bit louder. You never know, maybe he's deaf.
˝So what's your name bitch?˝ - asked Killer
˝Ask your mother, she was screaming it last night˝ - I said with my arms crossed. He asked for it.
Kid bursted laughing and I swear to the gods his eyes were sparkling. Killer was furious. He launched at me with his scythes spinning madly. It took less than a second to take out my axe and stop him.
I watched as his stance turned surprised. The red sunset shone on the blades of my beauty. I forget it myself. Cursed it myself. Basically, I'm the only one able to touch it without being cursed. I hate when people touch my stuff.
˝You're fast. Where did you hid that thing?!˝ - like I'd tell you.
˝Killer be nice to her, she is our guest.˝ - Kidd said.
˝I didn't agree on that˝
˝You need to rest ,doctor's orders˝ - a dark voice came, so Trafalgar Law was watching the show. A sword on his shoulder, leaning on a polar bear? In a jumpsuit?
˝Killer show her the guest room. It's an order˝ - Kid concluded.
