Hey guys! I upload a chapter again. It's a little shorter, but you will see why.

Warning: Not correct English sentences!

We were around the time when Luffy and Ace had met in Alabasta. That meant Shanks' visit came closer and closer. I needed to prepare things, because it was sure as hell that I was going to Sabaody. Thatch was healing nicely and I was happy because of that; we saved one of the three. Although one thing crossed my planning. Matt wasn't right; Marco avoided me. I wasn't the only one who noticed the change in Marco's behaviour; the crewmembers shot me questioning gazes and I couldn't do anything about it. As the time went I only came out of my room when I had some jobs to do or maybe to eat. Though the latter occasions were less and less.

I didn't blame Marco. I was blaming myself, my stupidity, the situation; everything but him.

„Puru puru puru~ puru puru puru~" my den-den mushi suddenly rang when I had been in my room once again.

I only answered because there was a chance that it was Ace.

„Cathleen" greeted me a well-known voice.

„Killer, can you please find some other time to call me?" I asked tiredly.

„Something is wrong" he stated.

„No shit, Sherlock."

„Who is Sherlock?"

„Not now Killer" I sighed irritably.

„I thought only wives say that" I swear he smirked as he said that.

„Go to hell" I yelled and wanted to end the conversation but his next question stopped me. Not exactly the question, but the unusual concern in his voice.

„What's wrong, Cathleen?"

„I-I…" at that tears were falling down on my face and hiccups made their way through my throat. „I am so stupid! I hate myself! To think that Marco could ever love someone like me…But it's okay, because I am the one who screwed up. He trusted me and I couldn't tell him anything. Why am I even here? What's the point in it?" I didn't make any sense, but I just went on and on while Killer was silent on the other side. „I am sorry…I don't want to bore you. I just hang up the mushi…"

„If you dare to hang up, I'll go to you and personally cut your throat" he threatened me and I stood there from the shock. „What's your next destination?"

„I don't know" I saw the mushi furrowed his brows.

„When was the last time you were on the deck?"

„Uhm…yesterday, but I didn't ask where we are going…" I confessed.

„Whatever. I'll talk to you later...gotcha~"

I stared at the sleeping snail and couldn't put the situation in place. I shook my head and laid down on the bed again. That was all I did beside the jobs I needed to do and it was all right for me. One would ask why I acted like that. For me, it has always been hard when someone was mad at me and the situation wasn't different at that time. Marco was my first love and that fact made it harder. I missed his arms around me, his warmth, his kisses, and his voice. Why didn't I make the first move? Because I was afraid that I would only push him farther away from me. Simple, but terrifying answer.

Nobody's POV

„Why aren't you beside Cat-chan?" asked Thatch for the thousandth time.

„I have things to do, yoi" came the answer from the blonde commander.

The other sighed; he didn't like where things were heading. He hadn't seen the young girl for days and Marco's attitude was worse than he could have ever imagine. He snapped at everyone, he was impatient and rather rude.

As he wanted to speak up again, Marco snarled.

„We are going to dock in any minute. Go back to the medical room. I'll tell you when we docked, yoi" Thatch couldn't even answer as Marco quickly hurried away, not wanting to continue the conversation.

The blonde run his hand through his lock, brows furrowing. He looked at Cat's door, wanting nothing else but holding her, look into her milky one and blue one eyes, watch her smile, but his pride brought out his stubborn self. If she had wanted something, she would have already spoken to him. He wanted to know the whole situation, their story, and the reasons behind their moves. He was grateful that they had saved Thatch, but now, he was even more suspicious at them. Something was off and he wanted to figure it out.

As they were docking, a loud explosion disturbed the calm air.

„What the hell?" yelled someone from the crew, but nobody could answer, because a familiar looking man walked toward them.

„Where is she?" asked Killer as he turned his masked head to Marco.

„What do you mean, yoi?" Marco was already pissed off, he didn't need him to ask about Cat.

„I asked a question. I want to meet with her" Killer knew that he was playing a dangerous game, but once he became friends with someone, they had his loyalty.

„She is sleeping, yoi."

„She is in her room, but we don't know what she is doing. Do you want me to tell her you are here?" spoke up suddenly Matt and Marco glared at him. „Don't look at me like that, commander. If she wants to meet with him, you can't stop her" growled Matt and everybody could see the familiar features between the siblings.

After a few moments Matt came out of the room, beside him was Cat, though she wasn't herself. Her eyes were puffy, her face hollow.

„Is he really here?" they heard her ask.

„Why do you think I asked your destination?" answered Killer and Marco hated how her eyes sparkled a little.

„Killer! It's good to see you."

„I can't say the same. You look like…how would Kidd say? Oh, yes. You look like shit."

Marco's head snapped at him, ready to kill the first mate, when he noticed Cat was walking down to Killer, however her steps were unsure and shaky. The first commander could tell that she hadn't been sleeping and the lack of food made its way: she lost weight.

„Cat?" he heard himself calling out to her and she froze on her place.

„Y-yes, Commander Marco?" she asked in a shaky voice and pain shot through his heart as he heard her unsure, afraid voice.

„He didn't force himself on you, did he, yoi?"

„N-no."

„Come, Cathleen. You need some time away from him" Killer didn't even wanted to lower his voice.

„For once, I agree with him" spoke up Lucas. „Go ahead, Cattie. We will take care of everything here."

„Thanks, Lucas."

As she started to walk again her vision filled with black dots, but she ignored it and kept walking.

„I am here, not there" told her Killer when Cat turned away from his direction a little.

„Killer? Why are there two of you?"

„Two? What the- Cathleen?" Killer reached her just in time to catch her falling body.

Matt and Lucas immediately run to him, behind them were Marco, Haruta and Izo.

„Cat? Cat, do you hear me?" called her Matt, but she didn't answer.

„We need to take her to our doctor, yoi" panic was evident in his voice as he looked at Cat's limp body.

„She won't spend any more time today on the ship" declared Matt. „We are going to take her to the island's doctor."

„She is part of the crew. Our doctor will examine her, yoi" stated Marco.

„Don't you think it's a little late to worry about her? After all, you were the one who acted like a dick" Lucas' voice were dark. The twins glared at Marco, standing protectively in front of Killer, who was holding the unconscious Cat.

„She is still with me and I'll take care of her" furrowed his brows the commander.

„Not this time. Killer, go ahead, get her a doctor."

Killer nodded and turned around to walk away.

„If something happens with her, you are dead, yoi" promised him Marco.

„As I said, you are a little late. Cat is our sister. Remember when we told you about her past? That was because we wanted to warn you, not to hurt her. And what are you doing? Hurt her! You won't lay a finger on her, not even meet with her" Lucas was pissed off, as was Matt.

They knew that Cat was deeply in love with Marco and they knew too if they would let her meet or interact with him until Marineford, it will end badly.

„You can't tell me what to do, yoi."

„We can, if we decide to leave the crew…"

So,our twins take the situation in their hands. Honestly, I thought about Marco and Cat make it up, but I decided against it and NightHunterDeath help me with the decision. Her review gave me the push.

So, finally I arrived, I live in the United Kingdom! And it is awesome! I love it! I saw there will be the MCM Comic Con in Telford this weekend, but I think I'll only go to the MCM Birmingham Comic Con. Have you guys ever been on either of them? If yes, can someone please some details about them?

And I hoped you liked this chapter! ^^
