Snippet #2697534

Alistair stayed stock still as the men surrounded him, he kept his nerve even when the Captain appeared. It was the same captain that killed the explorer and the crew. She crouched down in front of him, he caught her eyes so much pain behind them pain and venomous anger.

"Look alive, Pretty, You're lucky to be so." She said slapping his face a few times, not hard but not gentle either, he simply took the hits. She looked up at the sky and then back down at him. "Usually, my men are under orders of Give no Quarter, that means, if you aren't one of us, you die." She said simply, with a click of her teeth. She leaned down closer, and whispered. "And you aren't one of us." before standing, and taking a few steps before drawing her flintlock, pulling back the hammer and aiming it at his head. Alistair simply stated her down with the intense glare of his green eyes.

"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't keel haul your pretty arse all over these waters...You were the last crew, though none of us saw you, you were on that ship, the one we sank just a few days ago, these are the same waters, how you survived would be a good place to start." She said, her gun still aimed at him.

"Speak now, Pretty, I haven't much for patience"

Alistair took a breath not knowing where to begin, " I hid, like I was told to by the man you killed, you took his journal. I'm surprised you don't know already, or was it too soaked in his own blood? , the storm was no natural occurrence. We were meant to sail through it all preparation was made, it's the only way to find the island. That's the first marker. If you don't kill me I will take you there..." He sat up helping himself to breathe a little easier. " without me you cannot find it, so either kill me, throw me back in the water or drop me off at port. If you be so kind as to give me my things back...they are not meant for you you can't handle them" He explained still locking his eyes with hers.

He watched as a crew member picked up the sword, dropping it soon after "the blade is hot captain, he is not of this world kill him!"
