Chapter 5

A week passed and I got to know the Whitebeard crew pretty well. They were a great group of guys and I loved talking and playing cards while pulling shots of rum. I found out Aces closes friend was this guy named Thatch which was the fourth division commander. There were times when it was just us 3 sitting on the deck talking. Appentley Thatch was on track to find a Devils fruit and he was excited about getting it soon. There was one guy that creeped me out and didn't like how he look at me his name was Teach I avoided him like the plague and he knew it. But he always smiled he huge gapped tooth smile my way and it always gave me the chills. Ace and I became close fast we were always side by side playing tricks on the other men. If not that we would lay under the sky on 'Moby Dicks' figure head and sleep. He would show me what he could do with his devils Fruit ability which was amazing. The flames he can produce from his hands could get so hot I thought I would burst in to flames just being near him. Otherwise I had to sit and try not to puke watching Ace eat horrific amounts of food.

I knew I was dreaming of one of the very first times I went to see Luffy. Makino and Mayor Woop brought me and some food, Luffy and ace pounced on it like they haven't eaten in days when I know for sure they just ate. I knew because Luffy jumped on me first and I saw it. That's the thing I remember the most about my few visits to my brother and it was when he hugged me like he didn't want to let me go. He wrapped his rubber arms and legs around me like a boa constrictor and we usually tumbled to the ground laughing. I usually wrapped my around him and wished I could hold on the lost part of my soul forever. It was the first time I met Ace and the first time I was able to see my brother. Ace was off to the side looking at me with a scowl on his face. I was Luffy's height and he was taller than me so when I walked over to him and looked up at his dark eyes and said

"Hi I'm Luffy's sister how are you" his cheeks under his freckles turned a pink color and he mumbled

"Good" he looked away "are you older?" I nodded

"By 3 minutes" I said holding up my fingers smiling at him. His blush got darker.

"If your older how come your not here to look over him? How come I have to do it? Do you not love him? He is annoying" he said my lower lip trembled and tears filled my eyes.

"I love him! I wish I could be here for him but I can't! How dare you say I don't love him! And he's not annoying and you're a jerk" I turned and stormed off, I thought I heard him say something behind me but I couldn't hear it. When it was time to go Luffy tackled me again and I held on.

"I love you little bro" I said

"Only by 3 minutes" he said with a pout. Woop had to pry us apart and I screamed and cried.

"Luffy!"

I woke up with a jolt and Luffy's name at the end of my tongue, and even though my cabin had no windows I could tell it was still night-time. I slid out of bed and stretched mindful of Ace who was passes out on my floor. It amazed me how he could sleep anywhere. The first time he passes out while eating my jaw hit the floor then I almost pissed myself laughing. I looked down at the man I hated back then and I realized now I didn't hate him I was jealous of him because not only was he able to be with Luffy but he was able to do my job and protect him. I let my eyes trace his face and smiled when I pictured the blush that formed under the freckles. He was unbelievably handsome, he was rugged and strong and his face showed it. Sharp features and strong jaw, black hair and tan skin, rigged and hard with muscle. He was any women's dream. I watched his relaxed face and the way his eyelashes rested over his adorable freckles and I wanted to run my hand over them. I shook myself and forced myself to walk away. The thoughts I didn't not want to think about Ace my brother's foster brother and my best friend.

I walked out on to the deck and shivered from the cool breeze. I started walking towards Moby's bow when I bumped in to a wall and fell on my ass I looked up and shivered. Teach looked down at me with his huge jack-o-lantern smile. I shivered again this guy through off so many bad vibes it made me nauseous. I was so happy I didn't accidentally touch any part of his skin because I didn't want to know about anything of this man's past.

"Sorry there didn't mean to knock you down" he laughed his loud creepy laugh and flick his eyes over me.

"I should have been watching where I was going" I said my voice shook.

"I don't mind, out of anyone on the ship I wouldn't mind you running in to me a few times." I couldn't help the grimace at the innuendo, it was good thing he was laughing and missed it. He offered his hand to help me up and I couldn't help the recoil which he noticed. "I wouldn't hurt you" he said I stood under my own power.

"Nothing personal but I don't touch anyone if I can avoid it" using my witch ability as an excuse other the sheer fact I didn't want nowhere near Teach much less touch him "sorry I ran in to you" I said really quickly and half walked fast half ran to the bow.

I sat on Moby's figure head and tried to relax my pounding heart. I crossed my legs and closed my eyes and tried to mediate. I use mediation when I needed to relax or if my powers where over whelming. I learned to control most of my powers so they don't assault my mind but sometimes if I'm stressed or scared I lose control. I have been working on controlling my fear in situations because fear is a weakness. Fear can cripple someone and I don't want that. I want and need to be strong for my little brother and I have been trying to overcome the stupid emotion. I half worked and half didn't on The New Day. I was scared but I tried to hold off for my friends, but once I seen her crumpled body barely recognizable I slipped and I can't let that happen I can't. I also need to work on my mental strength. My telepathy is only as strong as me right now and I get tired fast. I figured if I can work out my mind I could get stronger. With that I can lift things as well as push and pull things. Well I can lift things now but only if their light and that's no use. I need to get stronger for my brother and for Ace.

I knew I was in deep meditation but I still felt the presence next to me, I knew it was Ace because I know what he feels like now, his power and vibes he trough off. I took me a moment to pull myself out of my deep meditative state and I opened my eyes. There was a thin strip of light on the horizon and I took a deep breath. I felt thousand times better and I turned my head to look at Ace. He was staring at the rising sun and I took the time to study his profile.

"I didn't mean to interrupt you" he whispered I shook my head

"You didn't, I was trying to calm my powers they were getting a little hay wire"

"Why?" I didn't want to tell him about Teach so I just shrugged. He stared at me for a moment before turning back to the horizon.

"What did you say back then?" I asked after the sun started to show its self by a sliver. He looked at me confused and I knew my question was very vague.

"many years ago when I first met you, I think I called you a jerk and stormed off and you said something I didn't here, do you remember what it was?" he smiled his huge toothy smile that lit up his face and made you catch your breath.

"Ah, I think I said I know you love him" I frowned and stared at the sun slowly moving up to greet us.

"I don't get it" I said after a while.

"I seen it in your eyes when you look at him, like your eyes take on this glow. It's amazing" I nodded

"It's my soul recognizing its other half" I whispered. I looked at Ace and he was looking at me. Our eyes locked and we stared at each other dark brown on bright green. I was the first to break eye contact and looked at the sun which was now half way up. Something to my left caught my eye and I looked over "hey Ace is that an island?" he smiled that smile again got up and look off to warn the crew.

I was standing on a shore looking at the dense forest and huge trees of this new island we just docked at. We had to wait of the log pose to reset and the crew was wondering around gathering food. Ace stood next to me mouth gaped like mine. The island was worm and we started through the woods. The woods where thick and I didn't recnize anything in this island, which was strange seeing I visited a lot of islands with The New Day. I shivered and Ace looked at me.

"you ok?" I nodded

"just thinking about the other islands I visited with Lily" I glanced at him and his face was sad.

"im sorry sometimes I forget you just lost someone you cared about" he looked down at the ground.

"well I guessed we have all lossed" I whispered thinking about Rouge Ace's mother, and Roger his dad, both dead. But I know better than to say anything about them so I said someone I know I could say that will hurt but can compare. "I wish I met Sabo when I went to visit." He stiffened and I wonder if I should have said anything at all.

"you creep me out sometimes with your powers." He said and smiled, and nodded "I think you would have like Sabo" he said still smiling.

"Maybe he wouldn't have been a jerk" I said and Ace burst in to laughter which made goose bumps form but in a different way from when Teach laughed. We came in to a clearing that were surrounded by trees.

"I'm happy Luffy had you and Sabo, Ace" thinking about my dream I had last night. I stopped to rest against one of the trees; the tree was huge about five feet round. I could hear water nearby and that was our job while the others gathered food we had to get water. Ace dragged barrels behind him with ease. "Maybe we can get that close, like brother and sister" I said

"No I don't think so" Ace said pulling my eyes back to him. My heart sank and started to hurt I swallowed hard.

"Huh" I whispered.

"I'll never think of you as a sister" he said his voice calm. I couldn't help the tears the prickled my eyes. Well this what it felt like to have your heart ripped out.
