Me:Yay! I wrote a new chapter :3
Cat: Just in time.
Me: Hey! I know you're into Marco, but could you just restrain yourself?
Cat: W-WHAT? *blushing heavily* I am not 'into' the blue bird!
Me: Of course not~
Cat: I AM NOT!
Marco: What's the topic, yoi?
Me: Ah, Marco! I am glad you are here! Cat is feeling a little lonely. *evil laugh*
Marco: Oh? I don't want that, yoi.*smirk*put an arm around her and pull her close*
Cat: S-stupid writer and bird...
Me: Marco, would you be so kind?
Marco: Of course! Yonakaneko doesn't own One Piece, just her own characters, yoi.
Review answers below the story!
When I woke up, my right eye was in a throbbing pain. I wanted to touch it, but instead of my skin, I felt strips. I have begun to panic: What happened to me? Where is the wolf? How…?
I jumped out of the bed and run down to the bar.
„Matt! Lucas! What happened? Where…" I couldn't finish my speech, 'cause two bodies pressed into me.
„You stupid! 'I go for a walk.' Are you serious? We left you alone and you've got attacked by a wolf! Now where is your nature love?" screamed into my ear Lucas.
„You want to make me deaf?!"
„Cat, we were worried. We nearly took Marco's head when he walked in with your body" explained Matt, much calmer than his twin.
„Took Mar- Wait. WHAT? Marco? That Marco? The burning bird with blue flames? That Marco? Marco the phoenix Marco? The badass Marco?" I gasped.
„Well, yeah. That would be me, yoi" I heard a chuckle behind me.
I turned around and my jaw dropped. All of the Whitebeard commanders were there and they looked at me with a big grin.
„Holy….shit…" I whispered.
„I think she might be afraid of us" said Jozu.
„Aaaaaand here it comes" rubbed his temple Matt, while Lucas chuckled.
„HOLY FUCKING SHIT! THEY'RE THE COMMANDERS! OM MY GOD! I CAN'T BELIEVE!" I screamed, much to the pirates' surprise. „You are sooooo awesome! God! It's… It's… kyaaaaaa! I can't find the right words! Haruta! Oh my God! Finally! Another woman! It's…" I wanted to continue, but then I remembered, we were from another world, so I mentally slapped myself and forced my fangirlism to calm down. „ I mean… khm… Hy, nice to meet you" I smiled sweetly.
„It won't work anymore sis, you just freaked them out."
„Did she just said, 'kya'?" asked Ace.
„Yeah. Got a problem with it?" I shot back the question.
„Said the girl with the 'Cat' nickname" smirked.
„Said that the freckled cowboy" at that, all of them were laughing.
„Nice, girly!" grinned Vista.
„I try" then I saw Ace's face. „Sorry, it just came out. My name is Cathleen Wild, by the way, but call me Cat" I offered my hand and he took it.
„Portgas D. Ace and no problem" smiled at me.
„Thanks" then I turned to Marco and tried not to die because of a nosebleed. He was just, wow. Tall and blonde and that lazy look on his face made my blood boil. Not to mention his well-built chest and his packs. Purr. „You saved me?" I tilted my head.
„Yes, that wolf's paw was way too close to your eye, yoi." keep calm, Cat. Keep calm.
„Thank you for saving me. I owe you one."
„That's nothing" he shook his head.
„Is the wolf okay?" I asked.
„What?"
„The wolf. You didn't hurt it, did you? Oh, God, I have to see it! What if you did something with it?" I began to panic again.
„You are fucking worrying after that damn wolf?" snapped Matt.
„Hey! It's a living creature! The wolves are awesome! They are predators! I like them!"
„Your so protected wolf wanted to eat you!"
„And? It must have been hungry! I so understand!"
„You could have died!" screamed at me Matt.
„I'd rather die by a wolf than by a marine's hands!" I huffed.
„You are stupid" sighed my brother.
„Tell me something new. So, I'll go and see the wolf" I nodded at them and began to walk to the door.
„Someone please stop her" asked Lucas.
Right before I'd reach the door, I felt my right wrist has been grabbed.
„Hey!"
„Sorry Cat-chan, you need to heal" said Thatch. His hair was so funny, I almost couldn't hold my laughter.
„I want to go!"
„No."
„Yes."
„No."
„YES!"
„Sorry Cat, yoi" after a sharp pain at the back of my neck, I blacked out once more.
I heard some talking in my sleep, which freaked me out.
„She might won't be able to see."
„Her chances…"
„We have to find one…"
„I don't want to something to hurt her anymore…"
„We need to protect her…"
I didn't know how long I was out. I was relaxed and it was a great feeling. My head shot up after my door opened.
„You're up, sis'?" stepped into my room Lucas.
„Yeah. How long had I been out?" I asked.
„2 days."
„Wow" I was surprised, I had to be tired. I looked at my brother and I knew, something was wrong. He seemed worried, nervous and guilty. I wanted to ask him, but my right eye begun to itch and the realization hit me. „What is with my eye?"
„Cat…"
„What is with it?" my voice was shaking.
„That wolf…its paw reached your right eye. It bled heavily! When we got the doctor, he said, there is chance that you won't be able to see with that eye."
My breathing was heavy, panic found me again. Half blind? Oh, right…I heard something like that in my sleep.
„What are my chances?"
„Cat…"
„I asked something. What are my chances?" I hissed.
„55 % that you won't be able to see."
„55 %, huh?"
„Are you sad, that you will lose an eye?" I heard Zane's strong voice and he stepped into the room too. „And what? You'll cry your other eye out? It's just one eye. You would be happier if that damn wolf would tore off your arm? Your leg? You could die out there girl."
I didn't say anything. I didn't care. The news were shocking, I just wanted to be alone. I had to deal with that I could lose my eye…
I didn't eat, didn't speak just stared through the window. Even some of the commanders came to me, but it didn't affect me. I needed time and my brothers knew this well. After about 3 days –I guessed – I decided, that it could be worse. Zoro will lose his eye too; so if he could live with it, why couldn't I? I found a new confidence: if I'll lose my eye, I just had to be stronger, to protect those who I love.
The warm shower cleared my head much more and I felt my usual cheerful mood came back. When I went down to the bar, the commanders were still there and my brothers spoke with them, while Zane was silent, but I could tell, he was enjoying himself.
„Ah, Cat-chan!" greeted me Thatch and every head turned into my direction.
„Sis'?" Lucas and Matt eyed me carefully.
„Well…it's almost time to open the bar and you two just being lazy? I am ashamed of you" I chuckled and my brothers tackled me with a hug.
„Stupid!"
„I love you too" I answered sarcastically.
„You okay girly?" that was Zane.
„Something might be wrong with my hearing too. I heard distress in your question" I beamed.
„STUPID BRAT!" yelled at me the old man.
„Yeah, yeah, love you too" I smirked, while he went back to his grumpy self.
„You okay, yoi?" spoke up Marco.
„You" I pointed at him, my eyes narrowed. „You, Mr. lost all of my hope in you."
„Why?"
„Why? God! You blacked me out and you asked why? Something might be wrong with you" I shook my head.
„We asked him" said my brothers.
Before I could say something, my stomach grumbled and my face heated up.
„Hehe, sorry" I scratched my neck.
„We hoped, that you'll come down soon, so we made it for you" Matt brought me to a table and put down in front of me a dose of fruit salad.
„Thank you!" I really loved fruit salad. The taste of the fruits mix was delicious, but at that time when I took the first bite, my mouth filled with something horrible. I couldn't tell how awful it was. It was bitter, but at the same time slimy and lean. „What the hell was that?" I asked after I swallowed it with force.
„Sorry, we might put into something" grinned Matt and Lucas.
„What did you two?" asked suspiciously Zane as well.
„This could be the taste what the Devil fruit-users tasted" I said with disgust then I froze in my place. „You two didn't…"
