I think I was screaming, but I couldn't really tell. It happened in a blink of an eye. He picked me up from the dock and and threw me into the submarine. The next thing I knew was that I landed on something really soft. I had my eyes closed for awhile and I heard Law come down the ladder.
"You can open your eyes, ya know," he said.
"No I can't."
"And why not?"
"Because I am afraid to see what I have landed on."
"I told you Bepo would catch you," he said with amusement.
"What exactly is Bepo?"
"Open your eyes and you will find out."
Ugh, he really is a jerk. I took a deep breath and slowly opened my eyes. As my eyes adjusted to the dim lighting, I saw people standing around me. One had a hat that said 'penguin' on it and the other one had a hat that was green with a red rim. I craned my neck to see what Bepo was.
"Oh….um" I glanced at Law, whom was looking at me with a smirk. "Is he a polar bear?" Bepo, the polar bear, was sleeping. "Wait a second if he was sleeping then how did you know he would catch me?"
"That's the funny thing, I didn't."
Such cruelty!
"That girl just fell from the ceiling!" said the guy with 'penguin' on his hat.
"This must be my lucky day!" said the one with the green and red hat.
"What? I didn't fall from the ceiling! Law tossed me from the hatch!"
"Wait.. Our captain in picking up girls now? Wow, never saw that coming," said the penguin hat guy.
"Ugh, men."
"My name is Penguin," said the guy with the penguin hat,"and this is Shachi." He pointed to guy with the green and red hat.
"Um, hi, I'm Kathren."
"Nice to me-"
"Enough of the chit-chat, I need to get you to the table for treatment." Law came over to me and picked me up. "Go get the burn cream and set up the room."
"Yes sir!" Both of the weirdos quickly walked away. Law walked after them and we turned a corner. A door stood at the end of the corridor that we now stood in. Law walked towards the door.
"So where are we going?" Realizing that my heart was pounding and I was starting to get nervous.
"I'm going to treat your injuries,"he said as we neared the door. He glanced down at me,"Of course if you don't want your injuries treated then I could take you back up to the surface."
"N-no, I would like my injuries treated." I winced as the pain got more intense in my arm and feet.
"Then shut up and don't question me. If I have to, I will throw you overboard." He said that with a blank face. How can one be so nice looking but so mean! He opened the door that led to a bright white room. He carried me to a table that was in the center of the room. There was a sink along the right side of the wall, along with some counters. Penguin and Shachi were both in the room and they had aprons on. They looked really stupid, but I guess for safety medical procedures they need to wear that.
I watched Law wash his hands in the sink and put gloves on. This entire situation was freaking me out. He walked over to me with a jar filled with cream, which I assumed was the burn cream, I was correct.
"Okay I'm going to apply this to your burn. It's a special type of cream for severe burns. It should help it heal quicker than normal creams." Law applied the cream to my hand/arm area. I hissed as he put it on and tried to pull back, but he had a good grip on me. "Oh ya, it's going to sting."
"Thanks for the warning," I hissed. After putting the cream on he wrapped the burn up with bandages.
"It should be better in a couple of days," Law said. He then went to examine my feet. "I need pliers," he held out his hand as Penguin got them for him. "Okay, this is going to to hurt...a lot." He glanced up at me, "Are you ready?"
"Ready as I will ever be," I gave him a weak smile. He leaned in on my foot studying it. He then raised the pliers to my feet and grabbed hold of a piece of glass.
The pain was worst getting them pulled out then when I stepped on it. It was kind of like getting stabbed and then having the knife slowly pulled out. I don't think I said anything while he was doing this, but I was crying. When he pulled out all the glass (which seemed like an eternity) he got some type of liquid and he put it on my feet. My best guess was that it was alcohol. He then took a thread and needle and stitched it up. After he was done stitching it up he put bandages on both of my feet.
"Okay, I want to look at your other hand." He grabbed my hand and looked it over. "It's not that bad, I am going to put some things on it so it doesn't get infected." So he did just that and he put a bandage on it.
"Thank you," I said with a pained smile,"Why are you doing me such kindness?"
Law looked at me with a surprised expression on his face. "Well you helped me. This is just my way of repaying the debt." The surprise on his face went back to his scorn face. "You can leave if you wish."
"Um, I can't really walk at the moment." He looked down at my feet.
"Yes, well then stay, I don't really care. But we are setting sail in the afternoon."
"Afternoon! There's no way I can just magically get better! My feet will take time to heal!"
"Then I guess you are coming with us." He said as he threw out his gloves. He then looked at me with a smug face and said,"Welcome to the crew." He walked out of the room and left me alone with Penguin and Shachi.
I looked at the two of them standing next to me and then turned my head to the door. My mouth was open in shock. "I...Wha-...What just happened!?" Confused I looked to the two dorks standing next to me. They both had a creepy smile on their faces.
"Welcome to the crew Kathren," said Penguin
"We will do everything we can to make this comfortable for you!" Exclaimed Shachi.
"Oh God. What have I done." I put my hands to my face, I was very distressed.
My life just changed in a matter of hours. I just accidentally joined a pirate crew, all because I let Law into my home on that stormy night. Now I will have to fight just to survive everyday. But with every new day comes a new adventure and maybe even a possible romantic interest. I looked up from my hands and sighed. "Okay, I can survive this. Maybe it will even be fun." I gave a half hearted laugh as I laid down. I ended up falling asleep on the hard, cold, table.
