Chapter 14
The house was beautiful. Caroline's servants had time to arrange tables with
food and wines. The room was lit with candles.
Caroline : she smiled Welcome to my home. Please eat and drink as much as you wish.
The party started. Bonnie grabbed a cup and brought it to her lips. She was here
to experiment as well. She drank a small sip. The taste was...special.
Bonnie : Is it supposed to taste like that ?
Kai : What ?
Bonnie : The wine.
Kai : Maybe you're not used to it he shrugged
Bonnie : Yeah...
Kai : You should relax.
Kai : he smiled I'm going to enjoy the food he walked away
She couldn't help but think that wine wasn't supposed to have that bitter
aftertaste. Maybe I'm being paranoid, she scolded herself. She went to a table
and took a piece of pie. It was really sweet. She looked around the room. Her
crewmates were drinking, eating and laughing. Far from her doubtful thoughts.
Speaking of doubt, she spotted Kai talking with Caroline. Her hand was on his
arm and she was leaning into him. Bonnie felt jealousy making her heart miss a
beat. Maybe Kai wasn't interested but the blonde woman obviously was !
Bonnie had the urge to pull out her blond hair. Her head got dizzy. The wine ?
She frowned. She just drank a sip, she couldn't be drunk. Suspicion was back
into her mind. She heard a giggle. Caroline.
The beautiful woman got up and walked away. Trusting her instinct, the young slave followed her at a safe
distance. The worst that could happen was Bonnie making a fool of herself.
She hid behind a wall when she heard voices. A female and a few males.
Caroline : Everything's ready ?
?: Yes, ma'am.
Caroline : These fools are getting drunk. Go take guns and lock them in.
Bonnie gasped and put a hand on her mouth.
Caroline : I heard something. You, go see what it is.
Bonnie looked around in a hurry. She needed to hide ! She opened a door and
went inside. It was a little lounge. There was nowhere to hide better. She heard
footsteps getting closer. She saw two swords hanging above the fireplace. She
ran and climbed on a footboard. She grabbed one sword and got in position.
The handle twisted and the door opened.
?: What are you doing here ?
It was one of Caroline's henchmen.
Bonnie : What are we going to do with the crew ?
?: Go back with the others and stop asking questions.
Bonnie : she glared I have a sword so you answer me !
?: he drew his weapon out So do I.
They started to fight. She didn't want to kill him but she wondered if she had a
choice. Then she remembered a thing Kai taught her. She didn't need to play
fair, she could as well trick him.
Bonnie : she held her stomach Owwww...
?: What ?
Bonnie : heavy breath I think...I think I'm going to give birth !
?: But you don't even look pregnant.
Bonnie : You're a man, how would you know ?!
?: Well...
Bonnie : Help me !
He hesitated.
Bonnie : she sat on a couch I'm begging you !
He leaned towards her and she knocked him out with her sword. He fell on the
floor with a heavy thud.
Bonnie : You were right, I'm so not pregnant.
Meanwhile
They were all passed out. Putting drugs into the wine was a good idea. Caroline
looked at them and smiled in satisfaction. She walked towards Kai. He was
unconscious just like the others.
Caroline : You were cute, too bad to her men Let's get to the ship and take all the goods !
They locked the doors of the main room and left.
