Faith was having trouble sleeping...again. She acted like it was no big deal but being captured by the Armada had really taken it's toll. She was condemned to death, in fact she should be dead right now if it wasn't for the pirate boochbeard. She felt like Deacon was going to hop onto her ship any second and send her back to his ship to be killed. Fatih shut her eyes and shuddered keeping the lantern on she tried hard to fall back to sleep but the gentle rocking of the hammock that usually calmed her reminded her too much of the large swaying motions Deacon's ship had made.
The next morning everyone sat down for breakfast, Faith was sorry to see Cecilia was still having trouble fitting in.
"Cecilia are you alright?" Faith asks
"Fine" she replies
Faith sighs knowing thats not true but continues with the morning's procedures "Alright everyone, today we're first going to have to fish since...well...I haven't shopped lately" she sweatdropped "After that we're going to go help out on Skull Island, Troggies have been attacking, someone stole old Captain Avery's Jade Necklace...Boy will it be a fun day...Lots of people are giving away rewards for things so we better be rich by the end of the day"
Everyone cheers, even Cecilia.
I feel like a fish out of water trying to get those stupid fish out of the water. They were slimy and we didn't have hooks we had to use our hands and nets. Ugh!
"Having trouble there?" Felix asks snickering
"It's not easy" I reply feeling a little unnerved by him
"Well if it were easy then it would be fun" Felix replies
"What's fun about this?" I sigh looking at the now soggy sleeves of my faded sky blue robe, my boots were getting muddy, the little sea blue bows around the light blue and now mud covered rubberish material on the shoes were beginning to untie.
I sighed and tightened my bandana.
"Well 'least you aren't giving up" Felix sighs plucking two fish out of the water as if it were not big deal, show off, "Errol quit on his first time"
I notice Errol is chasing crabs around, maybe hoping we can have one of those for breakfast.
"Do you even know where Errol is from?" I ask
Felix shrugs "We don't ask, we don't really care, Errol isn't a bad person so what does it matter?"
"Just curious" I reply "He talks kinda strange"
Felix shrugs and moves further away from me leaving me to talk to Maeve.
"So why were you and Jewel so mean earlier?" I question
"Well Jewel is my best friend" Maeve sighs "And she didn't like you so I just decided not to like you either until dinner, because you were so nice"
"Oh" I reply losing another fish "Ugh! How does Felix do that so easily"
Maeve laughs picking up her net revealing at least 5 fish "Just aim for the tails not the bodies or the heads, you lived here almost your whole life and you've never even tried to fish?"
"I didn't want to make a fire to cook them" I blush
At the end of the morning I do manage to catch one extremely small half dead fish but I don't care, having one seems like an accomplishment right now. After quickly roasting and eating the fish (they threw my fish away not knowing I noticed, I didn't blame them it probably wasn't healthy) we all walked through the Skull Island's shop area...thing...I didn't really know what to call it...
"Hey wait up Luke" someone yelled
"You'll have to catch up to me Digby" another yelled back
This place was amazing, bursting with sound and movement. I should have come here a long time ago! I bet I could have stolen a lot better than just the necessaries off of those rusty barnacle covered little boats.
"Come on that's the guard in charge" Faith yells over all the noise "Follow me!"
We run over to a guard who is so busy firing cannons he hardly notices us until a rock the size of me falls a millimeter in front of Quinn, who squeals and runs at least a foot behind the rest of us.
"Oi! Who are you?" the guard asks
We all yell our names though, he probably didn't hear them, it was just too bloody loud!
"WELL IF YOU WANT TO HELP GO ACROSS THAT BRIDGE AND DESTROY SOME OF THE SLINGSHOTS!" the guard screams back
"K!" Felix and Orion say at once causing many nervous glances to them, identical twins speaking in unison, the apocalypse is upon us!
After a long day of murdering Troggies I was asleep on my feet. We'd all made it halfway across the bridge when Orion noticed I didn't have any good clothes or a weapon. Sighing we all ran back to town and I got a witchdoctor's staff thing and some new clothes that boosted my armor, will and agility.
"That was fun" Faith says sleepily as we walk back to our ship
"It certainly was" Jewel sighs
"No it wasn't" groans Maeve "I bent my knife"
"We'll fix it tomorrow" Faith mutters
Luke watched the crew board the ship. He smiled slightly as he saw his little sister, her eyes were half closed making her look 6 again... She had a black top-hat with fangs or bones or something bordering it, sky blue armor and a similar color blue boots. A witchdoctor's staff was clutched lightly in her hand.
"Cecilia" Luke mutters
He had finally found her and he didn't have the courage, for once in his life, to do something about it.
He noticed the ship of the people helping him was unloading. Not wanting to be seen he sprinted back to his own boat.
The next morning I looked over the list of my clothing. I slipped my new ring onto my finger I grinned. 2nd day of paradise I suppose.
Weapon: Feathered Staff
Ring: Jasper's band
Hat: Top Hat of Toloc
Coat: Pirate's Coat
Shoes: Freebooter's Boots
The things they named those items after these days. I laughed a little bit, happy to be…me? That was weird, I usually wanted to be anybody but me. My new friends…were great!
Felix hated going for walks but he did it anyways. It let him get away from his pesky friends and that new girl who didn't seem to understand much. Course, most people would be like that if they lived alone on a beach their whole life but Felix didn't care. He wasn't sure if he liked her or not. And saying her last name was DeClark, She wishes!
"Felix!" Felix's brother yells
"What Orion?" Felix sighs
"One of the other ships over there!" Orion points "The entire crew is unboarding! They must have found a big treasure!"
"Get Faith and the rest of the crew and we'll follow them" Felix says "Catch up to me, I'm going to make sure we don't lose them"
"Aye" Orion replies running off towards the ship
