„Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit!" I screamed in my mind.

I looked at my brothers, a terrified look on my face. Marco came up to me, wrapping one of his arms around my waist.

„You okay, yoi?"

„Yeah, why?" my voice was higher than usual and he raised a brow at this.

„You look nervous."

„Really? Maybe this island…" I smiled at Marco, trying to convince him.

„There is nothing wrong with it, yoi. We checked it. And as you can see, Thatch found a Devil Fruit."

„Yeah, I can see it" I growled, looking at Teach, who was gaping at the fruit.

I gave a kiss to the commander and headed to my brothers.

„Need to speak. Now" was all I told them and we went to my room. „What the hell will we do?" I turned to them after they closed the door.

„I thought we had a little more time" muttered Matt.

„Guys, why don't we just tell them?" asked Lucas.

„Can't do. We need the story line and guessing from their behaviour, they would kill Teach. Not that I am against it" I sighed.

„We need to make sure that Thatch won't die. This is the most important" said Matt and I agreed with him.

„We will follow him everywhere, won't lose sight of him. There are the three of us, it must be easy…"

That's what I thought. Of course that was the day when the divisions needed us. I gritted my teeth in frustration; I was ready to snap at anybody. My whole body was tensed, my only eye tried to look for Thatch.

„What is with you today?" asked Ace suddenly, his face in front of me.

„What the hell? Why think everybody that something is wrong with me? Can't you leave me alone?" I yelled finally.

„Whoa, calm down Cat" backed up the 2nd commander.

„Just leave me the hell alone" I growled, storming away.

Nobody's POV

„What is with your girl today?" asked Ace Marco.

„Why?" looked up from his work the blonde.

„She just snapped and yelled at me."

„I don't know. I noticed her tensed aura when we came back to the ship, yoi, but I don't know the reason."

„Maybe you could talk to her" suggested Ace.

„If you think that, you don't know her enough. She is stubborn as hell and she can be damn frightening" chuckled the 1st commander.

„True" sighed Ace. „I hope she will calm down."

Cat's POV

I felt sorry for Ace, he didn't deserve my fury, but I was full on the edge. The time went really slowly and I wanted to pull out all of my hair.

I didn't know what to do, how to approach to someone without looking crazy. I tried to calm myself down, nothing worked.

„You look like some kind of animal in a cage" said Matt.

„What do you expect?" I hissed.

„It will be all right, trust me" he patted my head and without thinking I hugged him.

„I am scared. I don't want to lose any of them. They are my family now and I love them. I want them to live" I whispered.

Matt's hug tightened around me.

„They won't die, Cat. We can do it. We won't leave you alone, not this time…"

His words cut me through like a knife and I knew they've still felt guilty for letting me alone at home.

„I am not blaming you, you know that, right?" I mumbled.

„We know, but you changed after that. You became someone else."

„I needed to do it. But there isn't time for this, though I thank you" I smiled at him and kissed his cheek. „I love you, big brother. And your other side as well" I looked behind him to see Lucas.

„We love you too, Cattie" they grinned and my heart warmed up at the old nickname.

„Let's make it!"

The night came and we were ready to save Thatch's life. It was silent; too silent for me. I know the death was above us and I wanted to kick his ass.

My whole body tensed and the minutes seemed to turn into hours. We claimed 3 different spots, to reach there in time, because we hadn't known exactly where the killing attempt will be.

We agreed that we'll make a move when Teach try to attack Thatch. We didn't want to leave him time to hurt him, but we had to wait, until he tries something. I trusted in my instincts to kick in when the time comes, but I didn't want to risk anything; Thatch's life was too precious.

After a long time we noticed that the shadows began to grow and move. At first I thought it was the two, but Thatch was the one who came out holding the fruit. He looked at it, thinking what he should do with it. I saw the look on his face: he was hesitating to eat or not to eat it. I had to say, the commander didn't reach the point to make an actual move, because suddenly Teach stepped out from the shadows-no pun intend.

„It's a strong fruit."

„Teach? What are you doing here? I thought everyone was asleep" blinked Thatch at him.

„I want it."

„Excuse me?" looked at him puzzled the commander.

„Give me the fruit" commanded Teach.

„You know the rules: finders keepers. Even if I won't eat it, I will sell it for good money."

„I need that fruit."

„Teach, I found it. If you want it, you can buy it from me, but we can talk about it tomorrow. I am too tired for this" yawned Thatch and turned around.

I saw Teach's mad look and he pulled out his dagger, ready to attack. In a blink of an eye I moved out from my hiding place – along with my brothers – and I tried to shove the commander away, but Teach was faster than we thought. The dagger reached Thatch, but Matt was just in time: he tossed the commander's body away, though we heard him yell in pain and I pounced on Teach. I started to claw his body: my mind was clouded with anger. How dared he attacks my friend? How could he?

„Cat! Enough!" Lucas' voice didn't reach me, but a sharp tug tore me away from the further attack.

As my brothers tried to calm me down, Teach had enough time to pick up that damn Devil Fruit and get a ship.

„YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT! DO YOU HEAR ME?" yelled Teach furiously, his body covered in blood because of my attack.

„COME BACK AND FIGHT! YOU COWARD TRAITOR!" that was my voice, screaming at him, when I smelled the blood. „Thatch!" I rushed to him and I found him, clutching to his side, groaning in pain.

I put my hand on the wound, trying to stop the bleeding and that was the moment when the things went wrong.

The others came out and saw the scene: Thatch on the floor; me beside him with blood stained clothes and a look of terror; my brothers behind me, arrow and pistol in hand.

„What the hell happened?" asked Vista.

„Teach…it was him… he wanted the Devil Fruit" I tried to explain, but I was busy with Thatch's wound. He was bleeding so much.

„I can't believe…." Whispered Haruta.

„Quickly. We need to bring him to the doctor, yoi" commanded Marco and I was grateful for that, though I could see the anger and the disbelief on his face as well as that look which told me that 'we will talk later'.

My brothers grabbed Thatch carefully, while the level-headed ones tried to calm down the panicked and angered crew members.

„I will kill him!"

„We have to go after him!"

I heard that kind of yelling and I couldn't agree more, but now it was more important to save Thatch…

I couldn't sit down, I was walking in front of the door and I wanted to know what was going on behind that damn door. I heard the doctor's and nurses' hushed voices and the medical tools' noise.

„This can't happen… that just can't…" I whispered, running my hand through my hair.

„Where is he, yoi?" appeared Marco and as I looked at him, I noticed his cold face and for a moment, my blood stopped flowing.

„I-I don't know… After he attacked Thatch, we attacked Teach as well. We wanted to… tried to save him and look at him… he is wounded" I whispered. „We really tried Marco" I looked at him despairingly, but he just stood there emotionless. I knew he blamed us, me and I agreed with him. I started to think that maybe it was wrong that we hadn't told them immediately our story. Maybe we messed up everything.

I didn't dare to speak or to move after that; I just stood there, waiting for some news. I heard the noises from the others – they were outside – and I smiled a little, knowing how much they cared about their commander.

After a few hours, the doctor came out and looked at us with a tired smile.

„The operation was successful, he will up in no time, but he need to rest. If you want, you can go-„

I didn't wait for him to finish, instead I burst through the door and rushed to Thatch.

„Well, my first visitor is a pretty lady! I am lucky!" grinned lazily the commander and I looked at him, like he was crazy. „Cat-chan?"

„How can you smile like that? A crew-mate attacked you. He tried to kill you Thatch…" I couldn't believe how cheerful could he be.

„Ah, that. Well, I am a little disappointed that one of my friends attacked me, but at least I am alive, thanks to you and your brothers!"

„What do you want to do with Teach, yoi?" joined into the conversation Marco.

Thatch looked at me and saw my face.

„I don't know. But I hope you don't blame them" changed tone the 4th commander.

„I don't. But there are things that I want to know."

My eyes went wide and I turned to him.

„You know I can't" I shook my head.

„After all this, you have to."

„If I could, I would tell you, but you won't believe me and if you would, you would throw me out of the ship."

„Try me, yoi."

„No. I am sorry, Marco, but you have to wait 'till the end" I lowered my head.

„I said that I trust you, right?" I nodded. „How can I trust you, when my family's life depends on this, yoi?"

„You seriously think that I would harm them? They are my family as well!" I couldn't believe what he said. I knew he doubted me, but that was too much. „I try to save them! Do you know how suffering that I have to live with it? That I can't tell you?"

„Then tell me!"

„But I can't!" I yelled. „And it's killing me! I love you so damn much! I want you to know everything but it would just mess up all these things!" I felt my tears were threatening to fall and I rubbed my eyes angrily with the back of my hand to prevent it.

„You just don't want to tell, yoi" he muttered and that shot through me.

„I don't want, huh? Then you don't know anything about me" my smile was shaking as I said that and I turned to Thatch. „I'll come back later. I am glad that you are alive" I gave him a kiss on his cheek and went out of the room, leaving the two commanders alone.

After that night, I just watched Ace's tantrum because of the attack. I didn't even try to stop him, because it was useless. He was determined and as hot-headed as he was nothing could stop him.

„Hey, freckle-face!" I stepped in front of him when he run toward his Striker.

„You want to stop me too?" he eyed me.

„Nah. I would like to go with you to kick that bastard ass, but I have other things to do. I just wanted to say to take care."

„I will!" grinned Ace and the love for that boy filled my heart. Of course only siblings love.

„Call me if you want" I slipped my number into his hand. „It will be just me, so don't hesitate" I smiled.

„Thanks, Cat" he gave me a kiss on the cheek and smirked triumphantly. „Marco will kill me!"

With that, he jumped onto the Striker and only saw his tattooed back for a good while…

„You fought with each other" stood beside me Matt that afternoon when I was watching the waves.

„Yes."

„I am sorry."

„You didn't do anything. Maybe we choose the wrong way" I muttered.

„Everything will be all right in the end" gave me a one-armed hug Matt.

„Sometimes I think we shouldn't be together. Hell, maybe we are already over."

„Why do you think that?"

„He doesn't trust me. And I can understand that, but I love him. So much. I never really understand those sappy romance things, but now I can. I just want to be with him, support him with everything I have, even if that's not much; I want to share my thoughts with him and him to do the same; if something bothers him to tell me and we can figure out something; the one who sleep with him but it's too much. I am too selfish. He is really a bird and a pirate. I should let him free" it was good to tell someone those things, it relieved me a little, but those were just a little which was in my mind.

„Don't do this. If you love him, then fight for him. Don't give up so easily, he is yours. And Marco loves you as well."

„Until now I wanted to do everything to claim him, but you didn't see that look."

„What would you do if someone hurt him?"

A loud growl came from my throat, my eye dangerously glowing.

„It would be the last day of their lives, because the second someone lay a finger on him, the second I tear them apart" I told him the truth. „You think Ace will be alright?"

„I am sure" Matt ruffled my hair and I pouted at him." Come on, we have to do some work. And don't worry, Marco will come around…"

Well, it looks like our couple had a fight :) I didn't want them to make it up in the end, because their relationship aren't full of flowers and sugar.

I didn't think that moving to another country can be this tiring -.-" It will be only 5 months, but damn... I will live in Wolverhampton, United Kingdom and one of my dreams came true because of this! I don't know why, but I am fascinated by them and I am really excited to travel there! ^^

Oh and I saw the last chapter of The Hobbit. I am happy that I saw it in the cinema, because if I wouldn't, I would lay down on the floor and crying like a ... little girl. But I think the guy next to me didn't undersandt why I am wiping my tears so often. Honestly, I vowed that if I ever meet Peter Jackson, I'll kick his ass -.-
