Chapter 7
On their way back to the ship, they went down a busy street. Bonnie was
looking around like the curious cat she was. She was taking everything in. Her
eyes fell on a group of women. They were wearing brightful dresses, most of
them were red. One of them left the group and walked towards Bonnie and
Kai.
?: to Bonnie Hello, sailor.
Bonnie : Ehhh...
She realized now these women were prostitutes.
?: Do you want to have a good time ?
Bonnie : she shook her head frantically No, no, I'm fine.
Kai was trying his best not to burst into laughing.
?: she turned to him You maybe ?
Bonnie : He's fine as well she grabbed his arm and walked away quickly
Kai : I could have answered that one.
Bonnie : What ? You want to go see her ?
Kai : he chuckled Jealousy looks good on you.
Bonnie : I'm not jealous !
Kai : Let go of my arm. People are looking at us weirdly.
Bonnie : she did as told Sorry.
Kai : You know, I don't think it would have bothered her if she found out you were a woman. A client is a client he winked
Bonnie : This is certainly not how I imagine my first time.
Kai : Oh, you're a virgin.
Bonnie : Yes. Um, can this conversation get more awkward ?
They remained silent on the rest of their way to the harbor.
A few days later
Kai grabbed two swords.
Marcos : This is a bad idea.
Kai : Why ?
Marcos : Because she stabbed someone and you want to make her even more dangerous ?
Kai : You don't trust Bonnie ?
Marcos : I do but...
Kai : Then it's settled he left his quarters
He walked to the kitchen. Bonnie and Richard were talking while cooking.
Kai : I need to borrow Bonnie for a while.
Richard : Do so.
Kai : Follow me.
They left the kitchen.
Bonnie : What do you need me for ?
Kai : I want to teach you how to fight.
Bonnie : excitedly With a sword ?
Kai : Yes. Today is lesson number one.
Bonnie : Oh, I'm going to love this.
They went on the upper deck.
Kai : Take this one he gave her a sword
Bonnie : Thanks.
Kai : The most important thing is to stop me from wounding you.
Bonnie : Go easy.
Kai : Of course. Now face me.
She obeyed.
Kai : You have to block my sword like this he showed her
She copied him.
Kai : Not bad. I can also try this way he raised his sword
She blocked him above her head.
Kai : Good but you have to be quick because now you're in that position, I can stab you in the stomach.
Bonnie : she nodded I need to move my legs too.
Kai : Yes. We can try faster.
They rehearsed for a few minutes. Kai tricked her on the left and grabbed her.
He turned her over and pulled her against him. His sword was on her throat.
Kai : he whispered in her ear Dead.
His hot breath sent shivers down her spine.
Look-out : Ground !
Kai : he let her go Welcome in the new colonies.
