“ No” I say with a blank stare.
“ Why not?” he looks at me dumbstruck by my answer.
“ I don’t have any need on my ship, Micheal!” I state.
“ Tell me Cornelia, who on your own can read a map, tell you when a storm is brewing, and can help you gain control.” He says each time taking a step closer to me tille he is merely inches in front of my face.
“ No one.” I whisper.
“ I know, that's why I'm comin.” He says backing away to his sleepin quarters to pack.
Later in the day. Me and Micheal head toward the ship. It was silent, well other than the yelling of drunkards and kin runnin the streets. But it was nice, neither of us talked but we didn’t have too. We were comfortable in each other's presence. For the past couple of days we have gotten quite close, He along with Arva are probably my two only trusted friends.
“ CAPTAIN!!” I hear a shrill voice yell, only to look up and see Marie barreling towards me with crocodile tears pooling in her eyes.
“ Nope.” I say and sidestep out of the way Leaving Micheal to be tackled to the ground. I hear him grown as he gets up, giving me a glare.
“ Whatever took you so long?” I hear an Angelic Voice ask me.
“ Had to find a map maker, then i was Attacked by the map maker and now i have brought the pumpkin head with us to sail because he won't leave me alone.”
“ Don't call me pumpkin head!”
“ I could get rid of him if you need to!”
“ What?”
“ Why would someone want to be around you?” Micheal, Maie, Arva and Sparrow all ask at once.
“ One, I'll call you whatever I want because I can. Two, I'll think about it but not now. Three, I’ll explain later. Four, A lot of people like being around me thank you very much!!” I say out of breath.
“ Really not yet? Sweetheart you couldn’t kill me if you tried.” Micheal chuckles, everyone is now looking at the two of us.
“ That's why i said not yet, Besides she just said get rid of you, not kill.” i say with a smirk plastered on my face.
“ Ok weirdos let's get on the ship and get out of here!” Sparrow says breaking the silence we head on board.
Micheal started giving Marie directions, very much so against her wishes. Such a stubborn girl, you could hear the two bickering all day long. But soon nightfall came and Marie was tuckered out along with Sparrow and Arva. Below deck the two teens are snuggled up close to one another to get away from the sea's cold breeze, Arva asleep in the hammock across them. And Micheal is nowhere to be found. I walk up the deck only to see him staring off at the sea. I slowly approach him, I don’t really know why, I guess I just enjoy being around him. I think it's because when he is around, I don't think of James, I don't think of my past. I am just calm and I feel at home.
Out of nowhere a splash of seawater i=has smacked me in the face. I look over to see Micheal with water swirling around his hand and a playful smile gracing his lips.
“ I- How??” I asked in shock
“ You control storms, or chaos.” He pauses looking at me before continuing “ I control Water or peace.” He states a voice full of pride.
“ So I'm your complete opposite?” I asked making him whip his head towards me.
“ Or we keep each other grounded.” he says
“ Oh yeah, a perfect match.” I say laughing’
“ We are.” He says causing me to stop and look at him.
“ We are a perfect match.” He says quietly putting water back into the sea and removing the wetness from my clothes.
“ You can’t possibly know that, you hardly know me.” I say continuing “ We have known each other for maybe a week?” I say
“ Yes, but i know.” he says again, walking towards me.
“ And you would know if you weren’t so hurt, if he didn’t hurt you and take what was precious.” Micheal says.
“ Stop” I spit at him, there was no way I was bringing up what happened between me and James again. Not now.
“ Ok, we won’t talk about it, but that doesn’t mean I'm giving up.”
And from the wind as he walked away all i heard was ‘ To love again’
