“ That boy using magic like that!! Dramatic asshole.” I mumble to myself as I walk to my sleeping quarters. Who did he think he was teasing me like that, ooh ‘ we are a perfect match.’ What bullshet! Goddam i had a perfect match and now look where i am trying to make his life a living hell because he is a horrible fecking person! I layed down in my bed and fell into what I thought would be a restful slumber. I was wrong.
Rain, it's raining. No, the water is black as ink. I look down and see my hands look as if they are stained in blood.
“ Marie! Marie!” I hear Sparrow in the distance.
“ Sparrow!” I call out running towards his voice. Where are we? The lands look overgrown and deadly. Running through the mud that was stained black by rain.
“ Sparrow!” I yelled once more as he came into view.
“ Why?” He sobs, red tears flowing from his eyes as he runs up to me collapsing from sadness in my arms.
“ Why, why, why, why-”
“ Why What Sparrow!” I cut him off, he raises his head and my heart shatters, he looks so broken.
“ Why did we trust him? Why did we trust him.” his voice breaks as he sobs back into my chest. I get up and walk over to where he was only to see something that would be the end….
Marie.
I jump out of my bed with a cold sweat running down my back, Arva sitting in front of me with a worried expression on her face.
“ What happened to you? You were screaming like a banshee!” Arva exclaimed
“ I-it was just a nightmare. Arva calm down, no need to worry.” I tell her, though I think I said it more for myself than her.
“ Bullshet! That wasn't just a nightmare Evera!”
“ It was so let it go!” I snapped at her. I shouldn’t have but I don't think I could bring myself to talk about it right now.
“ Ok I’ll leave it alone.” She says quietly. Damn, now i feel bad.
“ I’m here if you need to talk to Evera. Always.” She tells me before leaving me alone. I sigh before getting up from the bed and sitting at the desk. It was still early morning from the looks of it, and no one had come to get the map for sailin.
There it sat on my desk in all its glory. It was very detailed, with places all from the east to north, south and west. No one goes west though. What surprised me was that everything seemed so detailed that it looked as though Micheal himself had been to all these places. I’ll ask him about it later. I get up and put on some close before heading out to the deck, still dark. The sun has yet to rise. As I'm looking out to sea I start thinking of my dream. It scared me more than most things did. I believe that's because it had felt so.. Real.
“ Hey Captain, what are you doing?” A childish voice called from behind me, I turned to see Maire in all her kid like gorly skipping up to me. As I look at her face, flashes of my dream blur my vision, almost bringing tears to my eyes. I shake it off before answering my little soldier.
“ Just waiting for Sunrise.” I answer her smiling before asking, “ What are you doing up so early, shouldn’t you be below deck cuddling Sparrow?” I ask teasingly
“ Wha- No! Don’t say stuff like that! He’s just a friend!” Marie exclaimed with an evident blush on her face.
“ Well that's good because you aren’t allowed to be with boys yet. To young.” I laugh, when i stopped my laughter stopped i saw Marie looking at me with teary eyes and a smile on her face.
“W-what?” I asked not expecting tears.
“ You're like a mom, ya know.” Shocking me before she continued. “ When we first met you reminded me of my mom, but thought of you like a sister, but as time went on, you started scolding me and protecting me and helping me. I can’t help but think of you as my mom.” I started to let her tears fall. She yelps as i swiftly pull her into my arms, hugging her.
“ Its ok, i think of you as my own blood. You are my family Marie. Don’t you worry I'm here for you.” I mutter to her as she wraps her arm around me and squeezes me as if I'll disappear. After a while i pull away grabbing a hanky from my pocket and whipping the girls tears.
“ Now let's be happy, I do love that smile of yours.” I said to her and almost instantly the girl's smile appeared.
Light started to peak above the sea and we watched the sun rise across the waters that were our home. Everyone soon came onto deck after that. Micheal was the last to come on deck walking into my chambers to grab the map, didn't even ask dramatic asshole, Marie soon started after him beginning sails.
“ So what's on your mind.” Micheal says as he walks up to me
“ huh? Nothing.” I state turning back to the sea
“ I thought we talked about you lying to me.” he mutters mostly to himself
“ Really? I must have forgotten. My bad.” i say sarcastically
“ Sometimes i hate you” He he says with a blank expression
“ Why? I’m lovely.” I say a smirk creeping its way to my face. Out of the corner of my eye I see Sparrow heading below deck with something covering his face.
“ Is that blood?” I call out to him, he turns to look at me before answering
“ No?” he asked
“ That's not a question to answer with another question Sparrow>” i stated, he laughed nervously.
“ If i let it yo you tell me later.” i say after seeing his nervousness
“ Deal,” he says before rushing below deck.
“ You're like a mother.” Micheal says beside me
“ Been hearing that a lot today.” i mumble
“Were you a mother before?” He asked, suddenly catching me at surprise but not enough to make me lose my composer.
“ You should've searched for me before you decided to come with me.” I told him.
“ True but I did study you those days.” He snarky replies.
“ And you are still failing.” I shot back at him, smiling at our interaction.
“ Are you naturally this much of a pain or do you try?” He asks with a smile of his own blessing my eyes and gracing his lips.
“ Are they always so dramatic or just with me?” I asked and answered? with a shrug of my shoulders.
“ I’m dramatic?” He laughs
“ Yes, absolutely.” I stated.
Just then Sparrow comes up from below deck and tries to sneak up on me, me goes to hit me and when he does, i stop and look at him obviously showing he couldn’t hit harder than a kitten. Then out of nowhere i decide to play long.
“ oooh how it hurts! I'm dying, someone help me.” i dramatically fall to the ground.
“ Okay I get it, it's not my fault you're made from stone.” He mutters but i dont stop.
“ I see the light, Mother is that you?” I pause to fake cough “ Oh it's so beautiful.. Blah.” I fake dead and the sparrow stifles a laugh and stomps away. I open my eyes to see Micheal above me chuckling.
“ And I’m Dramatic” he laughs once more.
