Being in a confused and lost state of mind wasn't a new thing for me.. Though stumbling onto a different world of robbery and terror wasn't something simple either.. Keeping calm I asked Geoffrey ,.
Bella : I might have been thankful to you for saving me back then but it isn't supposed to mean that I have accepted my life like this and will end up being Greedy wolves like you!
Geoffrey : That's your only option now..other than if you want to roam aimlessly in chaotic streets of Madonna waiting to end up in the British prisons. Becoming one of us gives you the power and definitely infinite freedom..
Its not how I pictured my life to be, not in any way but I knew that if I had to live, I must start with something.. After all I get to live freely here ..
"Geoffrey, I myself am an independent and strong women " ..I said
Geoffrey : Living like this must be your destiny!
Bella: That's enough, I would like to have some time for myself ..
"And I fell into long deep thoughts staring at the moon ..I don't know why the moon always made me smile, even at the worst times.. Am I really ready to be called Lions of the sea , and be someone who everyone fears for their greed and violent brutality? "
While I was drowned in my deep thoughts, an Young boy came up to me with an handful of berries and grapes..
Boy : Here have some, I just stole them from the chamber below ...
Bella: How nice of you! What is your name boy?
Boy : I am Stephan! And I know you are Bella! Charlie says it's bad luck to bring women aboard that's why I had to steal these berries for you!
Bella : Is that so?
Stephan : Yes
bella : Tell me who gave birth to you? A women right? Everyone should believe that a women is the greatest example of strength and courage.. say am I right or am I right?
Stephan: Haha haha.... That's no wrong! You seem more joyful and nice then everyone else hear..After mom was gone, no one made me laugh like this.. saying this Stephan started weeping..
"I took him into a warm hug ..poor little guy ..It is indeed painful for him to bear the loss of a mother at such a young age.."
Bella : It's ok dear ..wont your mom be sad when he sees you sobbing like this?And now you have me, you can always come to me when you feel alone..
Stephan : Really !?
Bella : Yes..
"For the first time in years I felt some joy in my heart when I comforted him "
"Hey Stephan, I was looking for you " someone shouted in an exhausted voice..
Stephan: "Oh Charlie, You definitely heard wrong.. see how Bella made me smile.. I know she bought good luck to us!! " he giggled..
Charlie : ok ok... but I think you are supposed to go have some rest now..
Stephan : I knowwww... saying this he joyfully ran towards the other crew..
Charlie : So Ms. Bella , Welcome aboard the
"Black Hunter " ..
Bella : Is this ship as powerful as it's name?
Charlie : Aye!! It is the fastest and strongest ship in the Carribeans!
Bella : Well ..
Charlie : I heard you hate to be here..
Bella : I don't know, I never thought I would stumble upon pirates in my life..
Charlie : Have you ever thought that pirates are just people who are trying to survive in this world..
"We steal for our hunger ,we are feared because we rob ,and we kill because we have to! "Have you ever wondered that how some people have to fight for survival? "
"For a moment, I felt guilty ...Who in this world is as good as they pretend to be , All are two faced..Maybe pirates are the bad people without a mask of pretending? My heart screamed inside me..
Bella : I feel like that, maybe pirates are hated for being too true.. You do that for your life don't you?
Charlie : You get me..
"I don't know I feel you somehow.. Piracy might not be the very best but I know that pirates like Stephan and Geoffrey are good! They have hearts, Orelese they wouldn't help someone in need.." I said
Charlie : Yes, I knew you would understand us
Bella : Geoffrey was talking about me being a pirate..I don't know if I am..
Charlie : "It comes from your heart, girl".. saying that he chuckled ..Maybe time will answer you.. who knows?
Bella : Hmm
We stared into the dark night for a moment ...
Bella : Charlie , why are we heading to the islands of La Muerta?
Charlie : I don't know, Geoffrey has never said anything clearly to any of us.. But according to what I know that Captain Windroar had breathed his last on that island, maybe there's something which Geoffrey wants from him? Maybe the ring of blood which he had always wore on his finger..
Bella : Captain Windroar's Ring of blood? I have read that somewhere !
Charlie : You mean there is a book about it?
Bella : Not something very known , but I found a few scattered pieces of paper once on my balcony..
Charlie : How.. Only Captain Windsor could have written those..
Suddenly a huge scream interrupted Charlie,
" Thunderstorm "!!!!! The "Thunderstorm"is approaching us!! and this words burst like gunfires on the ship...
Charlie : Bella, you can use this sword! Be steady.. I have to go!!
"Saying this he threw me a sword and almost jumped two floors down onto the main deck..
I somehow held the sword with trembling hands "
"This better end good " saying that I rushed down..
Geoffrey : All! Ready the Cannons! Heave sails!!
We must Fight!
" saying that He went to steady the helm"
Bella : Why is that ship approaching us?
Geoffrey : I have no time to explain now, The thunderstorm will attack us with all of its force, it is one of the most feared pirate ships! We need to stand our ground and attack Equally! Get ready, Bella , I know you are smart, now let's see how strong you are!..
"There was no time to think, Act fast or die!"
Within few minutes, the two ship's got parallel to each other.. and men began screaming and swinging from the ropes of the masts to the other ships, and soon both the ships were caught in an intense clash of swords!
Geoffrey : Fire the cannons!! Nowww!
"The firing and clashes wasnt something very normal for me "
Bella : I must fight..Come on Bella !
And saying that I began ripping off people with the sharp blade which I had never even touched before!"
Ahhhrghh , I missed her " an enemy
screamed..
"Jumping through the air I threw my sword on his one.... and another man came running towards me, I sweeped my sword around and successfully got two of them injured! I felt an intense fire of power on my blood which made me natural with swords..
Defend and attack! "
"I hurried towards the gunport."
Bella : Steady the canons.. !!We have to fight back Orelese our ship will be destroyed!
"But almost everyone was busy with the scuffles
I knew I had to do it myself!
After filling the gun powder, I put the fire on them on by one .. And by this blow the Thunderstorm became fragile! ..
I continued to move with my sword, Swinging it from one side to another! "
By the time we even knew, we were winning! "
"Die, you pig faced cockroaches!" cried Geoffrey..
Charlie, Stephan and all the others looked at me like I was an rare pearl... They all were nearly as shocked as me, to find out how good my sword fighting skills were..
We were dominanting the Sea now, even 'The Thunderstorm' wasn't able to stand against us! I felt this spreading strength in myself and most importantly I felt free!
But just when we thought victory was ours ,
an heavy object hit my head ,so hard that I couldn't stand properly ,and was about to fall in the dark ocean.
Splashh! I was trying to breathe but my body was giving up.. My head was bleeding horribly!
The last thing I remember is that someone jumped after me...
