The Arnava was one of the most famous pirate ships on the eastern side of the world. So, it was no surprise when it docked. Four pirates got off, one small girl and three men. They headed separate ways and started their business. The tallest man out of the four stayed close to the ship, seeing another docked ship. He pondered going in it, but was waiting until ordered.
After about fifteen minutes, the rest of the group came back, and the tall man was given the order to go raid the other ship. He slid inside it with an almost regal gait. He started picking up what he could, looking around for any people as he went. |
Atra looked around quietly as she spotted a ship and slowly snuck her way around to it. She then plastered herself to the other side of the ship as she watched the people get off then made her way onto the ship silently. Of course she knew she had to be very careful around this ship and try everything she could to not get caught for she knew who owned the ship. She was silent and stealthy as she let her powers do all the work in her raiding of some of the loot in the ship. She wasn't going to take much nor hurt anyone she just needed enough to get by on for awhile.... it was actually quite obvious that she was poor of how skinny she was and how her clothes looked... in fact most of the times she had to either beg or steal food to survive for awhile and she didn't eat often.
|
The man finished looting the other ship, and slid back onto his own. He paused, mid-step, hearing footsteps coming from below the deck. He pulled a long thin sword out of his belt and headed down the stairs, not making a sound. He glanced into the room closest to him, and saw nothing. He stepped a few feet forward and heard another noise. He turned his head, and found out it was coming from his room.
He headed slowly to his room, his sword in the air. He leaned against the door frame, blocking the only exit. "I assume you're aware of how stupid of a mistake you've made," he crooned in a low, rich tenor. His hair was down to his shoulder blades and he had pale blue eyes. He pointed the sword at the looter. "Drop whatever you're holding and turn slowly, hands where I can see them." His voice had a regal tone to it, almost as if he were a prince or something before he came upon the ship. |
Atra jumped about a foot in the air accidentally dropping every little silver coin in her hands and bag. She swayed slightly her long arm like scarfs leaning from side to side before she turned a slightly worried look on her face and her hands palms forward and down by her side. Her face had a few smudges under her eyes from time after time of working and wiping her face with slightly dirty hands. She looked at the man worriedly and felt her heart pounding then stop when she saw who it was and the blade he was holding... he wouldn't kill her would he? She prayed he wouldn't though she couldn't speak to beg for her life... like she thought it would help
|
"Ah, a street rat. A female one, no less. Now...what to do with you? Captain would have a fit if I left you alive... but, I did find you snooping in my room..." He paused, thoughtfully. "Tell me, how many rooms did you go through, before this one?"
If that was the first room she'd been in, then what happened to her was up to him. If not...then he'd probably have to kill her, unless he thought of a better option and could convince his captain. He watched her steadfastly. He kept his sword up for a moment longer, before lowering it. He didn't put it away, though. Who knew if the girl would try to run? |
"One other... a stock room I believe." Atra said quietly in her monotone voice that shook slightly. Her voice may have been monotone though it was also slightly high pitched and still sounded slightly like a kids voice... though she was clearly a young adult. She relaxed slightly When he put his sword down though was still wary of him... what would he do to her? She knew what many did and she shivered at the thought... he wouldn't hurt her like that would he? She hoped he didn't and he would just kill her or something and not rape her or anything like that... at least if he killed her he would put her out of her misery.
|
The man nodded."We need more deckhands, and since it seems you made your way first into my bedroom, that's what you'll be. Consider yourself lucky" he added, dryly. He stepped into the room. "Empty your pockets, and place everything on my bed. Also, tell me your name." His voice held a distinct note of command in it.
The girl really was lucky. If any of the three others had found her, she'd be dead already. Especially if it'd been the captain who found her. He ran a hand through his hair, never taking his eyes off the girl. |
Atra did as she was told and also loosened her scarf to let a few small things of food that she had grabbed fall onto the bed. "Atra... my name is Atra..." she said quietly as she put the last few things on the bed though you could see that there were some things that she wasn't removing... like a necklace and a ring "I am not taking these off... they are mine and the only things I have left of my family and my home." she said quietly knowing if the male wanted to he could just take them from her but it was clear she would fight to keep them.
|
"Come here, then." When she came forward, he inspected the jewelry before nodding. "All right, that doesn't match anything on the ship, so I'll take your word for it. Don't make me regret that," he warned. "Oh, by the way, my name is Sebastian Lucius." He paused for a moment, thinking of what he'd need to know.
"What talents do you have? Cleaning, cooking?" His voice was curt, but his eyes raised to the ceiling, hearing voices. ...The rest of the crew was back. |
"I can cook, clean... really anything... I've lived on my own for quite a while so I needed to know all that..." Atra murmured as she gave a slight smile upon hearing his name though it was quickly gone when she also heard voices and was slightly worried about the others of the crew... especially the captain. This actually wouldn't be the first time she would have met the captain... no when her family was still alive her father and brother had had a run in with the captain of this crew and... well it wasn't the most pleasent meeting and she was there too.... maybe that was the only reason why her father and brother left with their lives....
|
"All right, you'll probably go between helping the cook, and the first mate clean." If Atra remembered the captain, then she would probably remember the first mate. He'd been on the ship for years.
"Sebastian!" the captain yelled. "What are you doin--" She stopped, peering around the taller man, to see Atra. Right now only the captain and Sebastian were visible at the moment. The captain's blue eyes narrowed. "I've seen you before. Come back to loot my ship again?" Her voice was cruel and cold. She pulled out her sword before Sebastian put a hand on her shoulder. "Relax, Zemira, she was only in my room and the store room. Which makes her my responsibility." Zemira's hand never wavered, and she pointed the sword at Atra. "Give me one reason I should spare your life," she taunted. |
Atra took a step or two back looking at the woman with almost wide eyes and shook her head. She couldn't really speak to the woman.... there were just some bad memories of their last meeting that were stuck in her head and she was scared of that some. She needed to be careful around here and she knew it... the captain probably knew the best about her families psychic powers and how she could control certain objects... though the only thing that she could really control was the scarf around her neck that she never went anywhere without.
|
Sebastian groaned. "Just give me a week. That's it. Anything happens at I'll kill her myself." His voice was matter-of-fact. He rested against the wall, staring down at Atra. "I think she realizes how lucky she is, though." Zemira lowered her sword, slowly. "You realize she's a repeat offender. She should be dead. I'm only doing this because I trust you, Sebastian. Don't make me regret this."
Now that Sebastian had moved, another deck hand was visible. The gender of said deck hand wasn't clear until they spoke. "I'd have killed her ass anyway." The voice was distinctly male. "No one asked you, Cyan. And you'd have raped her first," Sebastian replied coolly, allowing his eyes to fall upon Atra again, watching her reaction. He was trying to show her just how lucky she was that he'd found her first. |
Atra shivered and seemed to shrink away which actually looked quite odd on a girl like her... she was clearly strong and had powers though also no match for more then one person. Her long arm like two sided scarf wrapped around her nervously as she shivered a bit clearly scared of what might happen to her even if she didn't do anything wrong at all. She knew she was no match for any of them right now anyway... she was too starved and slightly ill to fight anyone right now especially the captain while she didn't have any... well not many of her knives with her.
|
Sebastian shook his head. "All right. I think it's time for me to clean up my room. Cyan, Atra will be helping you with dinner." His tone left no room for arguments. It was odd, seeing a deckhand telling other deckhands what to do, but it worked. And Zemira made no effort to stop him.
Cyan grunted. "Can I stab her if she screws up?" "No, you may not," Zemira countered. "She is Sebastian's property now. Therefore any punishments come from him." Cyan rolled his eyes and stared at Arta. "Let's go." He turned and headed down the hall, not looking to see if she'd follow. |
Atra shivered slightly pausing for a moment before going to fallow the male her... she supposed he would be her master called Cayn. It was very unusual seeing her scared or worried about anyone or anything though here and now she was VERY scared and worried about everyone on board the ship and especially the captain.
|
Cyan walked into the kitchen, which was fairly well stocked, for a ship kitchen. There were bags sitting on the table, waiting to be unpacked. "Tell me, how much cooking can you do?" As he spoke, he pulled his wait length blue hair back and tied it with a ribbon. It was odd to see a man tying his hair up with a ribbon. "Also, I suppose I should ask this. Since our lovely Princess didn't ask. Do you speak sign language?" 'Princess' seemed to be referring to Sebastian. Another hint to his past? Or just Cyan being a jerk?
|
"It depends... I've cooked a full three corce meal by myself before... and they said it was pretty good... I had worked for like a soup kitchen type place once..." Atra murmured and couldn't help a slight smirk when he said 'princess' and got who he was talking about though wondered why he called him that. "And I do know some... why?" she asked softly as she watched him and found it slight amusing that he had to tie his hair up... though that's not what she found amusing, no it was the ribbon she found amusing.
|
"Yay, finally someone else who can cook. Thank the Gods," he muttered, dryly. He pulled out a few packs of veggies. "Chop those into half inch cubes." He then pulled out a fish and began expertly filleting it. He waited a moment before answering her second question. "Our first mate is mute," he revealed. He didn't look up as he spoke, pulling a fillet of fish away and flipping the fish over to do the second half.
Cyan didn't seem to be too bad of a guy, he just spoke his mind a lot and enjoyed freaking people out. That was probably part of his demon nature though. He didn't mention that most of the crew wasn't human. He though he was obvious at least, with his blue hair. He would list them off if she asked, though. |
Atra nodded and started chopping the veggies not seeming to have any issues and was actually done quite quickly and waited for something else to do. "Done..." she murmured idelly as she closed her eyes some and rubbed her temples a bit seeming to have a slight headache though said nothing about it... she didn't even seem like it really bothered her at all anyway.
|
By the time Atra finished the veggies, Cyan had filleted the fish and was slicing it carefully. He motioned to the large stockpot resting on the stove. "Drop them in there." He added the fish and began filling it with a fish stock. "Hmm...Set the table." Through the small hallway was a large dining room table. The ship seemed to be well stocked and had a lot of antiques." As he spoke, Zermira stood in the doorway to the kitchen, her eyes impassive.
|
Atra nodded some as she did as she was instructed to then grabbed the items she would need to set the table. She froze slightly when she saw the captain at the door way and she face flushed slightly though she forced herself to start moving and move past her to go into the dining room and set the table. She hoped that they would take pity on her at least in this case and let her eat.... she wasn't sure if they would since she had attempted and almost succeeded at stealing from them. She was worried about any confrontation with the captain and actually with any of the crew since she knew she really wasn't welcomed though from the was her 'master' made it sound none of them would touch her except for maybe him... and though would hopefully only be if she did something wrong or stupid.
|
Zemira leaned over to see what Cyan was cooking, until he whined at her, that is. She then snorted and moved towards the dining room. "Make sure to set a plate for yourself." Her eyes were still wary and hard. "Despite my own distrust of you, I never use food as a punishment. I, and the rest of my team, prefer to find the thing that bothers someone the most--without real fear or violence-- and make them do that. For example, when Cyan misbehaves I make him do all the laundry, by hand, for the entire week."
That didn't seem too bad... Cyan groaned. "I hate laundry! So much," he whined. For Cyan, it really was the worst thing. Without making him do something painful or something that actually terrified him. He stirred the soup. "Princess will be able to find something for you that's horrible. He'd good at that." Zemira shook her head. She then glanced at Atra again, amused at her fear. Zemira looked harmless, but her nature didn't help. "Are you a human?" Again, blunt and to the point. |
