Mae sat in her room and put a pilow over her head as Izo began pounding on her door again.
"Mae come out here right now!" He yelled. He was upset that she hadn't taken his advise and told Marco how she felt, so he decided to take the matter into his own hands."either come out and tell Marco this instant or I will tell him myself!" He continued as he pounded on the door again.
She opened her door and pulled Izo into her room before he could say another word.
"Izo you know his cabin is right down the hall from mine. Don't say that too loud or he could hear." She whispered and sat on her bed.
"Thats the point. It's been four days and you havn't even muttered a single word to him about your feelings. He said placing his hands on his hips.
"Im too nervous. I don't know how to approach him about it." She sighed falling back on her bed. "I mean what am I supposed to do go to his room bust in and say *Guess what Marco Ive fallen in love with you. Isn't it wonderful?*"
"Sounds like a plan to me" Izo said as he slowly inched towards her.
Mae looked up at Izo and knew what he was planning. He went to grab her so he could drag her to Marco's room but before he could they heard a loud crash and the ship rocked violently knocking them both to the floor.
"What was that?" Mae said with slight panic.
"I don't know but I think we might have visitors." Izo replied and got up heading to the door. She followed until they reached the deck where they found enemy pirates.
"Who are you" Marco's familiar voice called and he stepped forward to confront the intruders.
"I'm Bloody Claw and I'm the Captain of the Burakkukarasu Pirates and were takin over this ship." The man who looked to be the leader said. He had short black hair half-way hidden under a white bandana, a brown shirt with a gold chain going from his left shoulder to his right hip and black pants tucked into grey boots. On his right hand he had a silver iron glove shaped to resemble the talons of a bird which must be where he got his name.
Mae looked at the man as he stood there with a creepy closed-eye smirk. She felt she had seen him somewhere before and couldn't figure out where until he opened his eyes and the realization struck her.
Marco just stood there not really intimidated by a small band of pirates he had never even heard of before. He sat down on the railing of the ship and was about to start his version of an interrogation when a angry voice spoke up.
"Draven!" Mae yelled and ran over to stand face to face with Bloody Claw.
"You know him Mae?" Marco asked as he got off the railing and stood to stand a few feet behind her.
"Yes." She said as she directed a fierce glare at the man before her. "He's my eldest brother."
