I had woken sprawled uncomfortably across the floor with a gift from my own behalf in the form of a foul throb that had no intention of stopping at any instant. I was also extremely disorientated as I considered my predicament linked to the unsteady earth below me which was unable to help settle the throb.
As if the throbbing and sudden nausea wasn't enough for my body to manage, my mind had then approved entry to my once forgotten memories of the recent past events to invade my once quiet throbbing mind. Every little detail had begun to churn through my mind from the revolt of having the foul touch of Captain Axel Dieter's hands upon me to the plundering of the bombs setting the once silent kingdom alight. I groaned at the slap from reality. Not only did I have my memories now flooding my mind but I had also been struck with a seizure of stress as to where and when I was.
The first productive thing I had begun to do was wonder, wonder as to how long my mind had been detached from the world, which was one of my main concerns. By coming to the realization that the unsteady 'earth' below had actually been a ship bobbing and quaking from the rugged waves, I wondered if we had already set sail toward the brothel. That thought really stabbed me hard in the chest. And the most biggest matter over all was when they would figure out that I am actually a male or if they had already. That was just as alarming as my previous thoughts.
After the throb had become something along the lines of unbearable I decided to sit myself upright and to close my eyes as I had begun to center my focus on other thoughts other than the throb and the fluctuating movement of the boat. It slowly began to work and after finally pulling my wits together I then decided to analyze my surroundings as my mind had been relieved of my suffocating thoughts. Some things in the cabin were fairly visible thanks to the slither of light sweating through the door.
It was a fairly large room, I had discovered plainly that I was surrounded by tall silver bars, so escaping now seemed somewhere close to impossible. But surprisingly there wasn't many other things within the room except for a large alloy box straight in front of me with a slit at its front. It was a curious discovery, as I then centered my thoughts onto the box with my imagination beginning to sprint with ideas as to what could be within the metal box.
As I was buried in my over active imagination, the next time I had gone to regard it once more, I had come to make contact with a pair of breath taking azure eyes. They had surprised me momentarily, but shortly after I was swallowed by they're beauty as I began studying such gorgeous eyes. She must have been stunning if her eyes were only a glimpse of her beauty, I was immediately melting under her alluring azure gaze.
"Like what you see" I gasped, not from how shocking the voice had sounded in the silence but at what the voice belonged to, I had been so sure that it had been a female... I blushed at the directions my delusions had taken me.
It had unfortunately been a males voice that had spoken up and that had me left with mortification. It was horrible, not only had I been recently touched by the most foulest man in the many seas but the one time I had ever fantasized about a gorgeous women and 'her' entrancing eyes, it had been a male.
I had allowed his question to hang in the funny smelling air as I had turned my face in the other direction because now other things had begun to surface in my mind that were disturbing me more than Captain Axel Dieters existence. As for the throb, it had found its way home, as my head had begun throbbing once again.
And just to add a spanner into the works, not too soon after, said devil had himself entered into the scene. As he entered further into the room, with a quick distasteful glare at the large alloy box, a flood of sunlight suddenly breathed the once morbidly dark room to life, as well as the man's azure eyes in the alloy box.
With the rush of sudden light available, I had my first chance to see Captain Axel Dieter's features. His hair was ink black, styled out of his face, except for the one strand hanging over his left eye which was nearly as emerald as the gem. He wore a leather over coat that complimented his figure, as well as a loosely hung shirt and baggy black pants paired with tall leather boots. I had to admit, he was rather good looking, which immediately explained his arrogance.
He waltzed casually over to my cell, whilst making sure to exaggerate his pace, his emerald eyes never leaving mine. At this point, I had never felt so many eyes on me all at once, it felt as though I had become the center of two universes as pairs of azure and emerald clung to me. Both pairs were just as beautiful as each other, but when they both looked at me, I felt as though I had seen them a thousand times in many lifetimes. It was a strange thought to have for two strangers that you had just glimpsed for the first time.
After coming to a full stop and positioning himself in front of the cell, whilst noticeably blocking my view from the slit in the alloy box, he suddenly had both his hands latch onto the bars of the cell that I was trapped within. His eyes clinging to me as a leach would to a host.
"Your a boy" He sneered, revealing his white teeth, I felt the security suddenly abandon my body and become replaced with immediate nausea; that's it. I was done for on a stinky pirate infested ship. "Your done for Lad." Captain Axel Dieter stated bitterly. My breath hitched at his remark, as I had then tried to swallow the sudden bile in my throat that refused to disappear. He then unleashed a set of keys from his belt as he leaned casually against the wall of bars, releasing his breath obnoxiously, as he had begun twirling the keys around his index finger.
I had begun to sweat as trembling dread begun to consume my insides, the way that he looked so casual and relaxed, it was making my skin crawl. But before I could plead for mercy like the pathetic excuse of a human I was, the Captain stopped boredly playing with the keys, and stared into the unknown with a hard look on his face.
"It'll take us days to get back to Lilydale" he stated as his head snapped toward myself making me gulp as he unleashed a feigned smile "You got any better ideas other than walking the plank?" He offered as if there were a choice, but I took that challenge as my final chance. I stared at the ground for a while trying to come up with other ways he could get the money... A job?
"Me thinks not." He then dropped his feigned smile and placed the keys back onto the clip on his belt without unlocking the door and before I had a chance to raise the point, he opened the cells door. My face drained itself of color as the unpleasant realization that the door had been unlocked the whole time emerged.
"Come on, lets make it quick" Captain Axel Dieter muttered dryly.
"Wait! Please no, I'll consider other options!" I begged. He disregarded my plea and nonchalantly walked toward the cell, roughly tugging me from the security of the barred walls. I wriggled and bounced in his firm grasp, momentarily catching a glimpse of humored azure eyes, that was until Captain Axel Dieter came into the picture and blocked the up close phenomenon.
"Jack ya scalawag! c'mere ya fish bum licker!" Captain Axel Dieter shouted, right into my ear must I insist, but at the uttered name 'Jack' my mind suddenly tickled at a long forgotten memory of warm winter nights by the wooden fire, resting on my mothers lap, that may just be the miracle I need to save myself from being fed to the sharks.
"C'mere lad" Turns out Jack was a rather large guy.
"NO!NO! Wait! I know ho-" before I was able to have completed my sentence, Jack rudely shoved his mother of a hand onto my face not allowing the words to escape my mouth. I had continued to struggle against the giants strong grip as he waited for Captain Axel Dieter, who had begun adjusting his clothing from where I had mussed his appearance.
We then slowly began to make our way out of the door, which led out onto the deck leading to the calamity of my heart pounding against the bones of my rib cage. All of the crew members had gathered around the plank, with the exception of the scrawny individual mopping the main deck. The crew members began to froth at their mouths as their anticipation for this 'thrilling' occasion grew, which was myself being chucked overboard into the shark infested water.
"MmM-Mmm-MMmm" I attempted at words once again, but the bastard wasn't relenting as his hand stayed firmly in place on my mouth, preventing me from speaking. I was only centimeters away from the plank as its existence was now becoming the soul reason for my dread as I had begun to feel dizzy with trepidation.
Nearer, and nearer we approached and as we got closer my head had begun to spin further at the amount of blood my heart was injecting into my bloodstream. As we approached the plank I caught sight of Captain Axel Dieter casually leaning upon the railing, as he looked out into the ocean with stone cold emerald eyes, seemingly lost in thought, but then out of a very shocking blue he exposed my eyes staring at him at the mere flick of his, my saliva caught in my throat.
And then without any caution Jack had me flung onto the plank where my doom awaited down a flaking wooden aisle. Not too soon after, Captain Axel Dieter approached, placing his bandaged left leg onto the plank, sneering at me with his arm resting atop his left knee that I had bucked before being left unconscious in a cold and dark cell.
Once again both Captain Axel Dieters emerald eyes tangoed with my own. Before I could let out a light breathe that I had been holding, Captain Axel Dieter had swayed his free hand into the air which caused every crew members sword to unsheathe with an ear piercing hiss that followed, my neck suddenly decorated with dangerously sharp grazing tips.
"Any last words" Captain Axel Dieter spoke.
"In a matter of fact, yes." I stated as dryly as the Captains current facial expression, raising my right hand from my side in an attempt to prod a sword from my view "I have a solution to the current financial crisis."
"Throw him over board lads" Captain Axel Dieter uttered carelessly as he removed his bandaged leg from the plank and began walking away.
"Him..?" One of the crew members had muttered cluelessly to himself whilst looking imploringly to the other crew members, who only appeared to have blood lust on they're minds, other than more pressing thoughts.
My heart rate was suddenly thrown into a frenzy as the crew members had begun to approach with they're elongated swords.
"Wait! Anyone heard of Captain Poison Jack!" I all but screeched desperately as high as my voice could penetrate, Captain Axel Dieter paused mid step and the crew members had paused their approach as mumbles had begun to occur within the herd of pirates as they all had begun to shrug and nod thoughtfully. Captain Axel Dieter responded by twitching his ear into peripheral hearing.
"That is my proposition!" I screeched as I needed Captain Axel Dieter to hear my offer and call his crew members off "We go out and find Captain Poison Jack's ship-"
"-which is littered with unlimited jewels and wealth, you could live the life of a king!" Captain Axel Dieter had mocked as he flung his right arm into the air and had begun to laugh wildly to anyone but himself. I was flabbergasted at the loons attitude, not only was I utterly confused as to how he took my own words from my mouth but also toward the fact that he had begun to laugh wildly whilst looking pointedly at the sky, sticking his middle finger toward it.
After his momentary outburst, he wheezed out an exaggerated breath, brushing his jet black hair behind his ear. Captain Axel Dieter then flicked his emerald green eyes onto my form, his mouth pressing into a straight thin line, as his face showed his youth but his eyes showed his true age. "Tie the bugger up lads."
"Wait! No!" As the crew members had begun to approach, cutlass's sheathed, I had taken several steps back as they advanced onto me. But as if my mind could've reacted at the last possible second, it did so. Everyone's eyes widened as I had begun to wobble and quiver at the tip of the flaking wooden aisle. Arms rushed out in attempts to snatch me, but then as I attempted to regain my balance I trampled over my own left toe.
