"Don't lie to me boy," Captain Santiago hissed angrily, cocking his head toward Auria's with a sneer on his face. "You're witch friend right there sold you out."
Callum whipped his head, a pang of betrayal fleeted in his chest. They had been good friends longer than he can remember. They might fool around sometimes but he trusted her enough not to snitch on him to anyone. Auria meet his stare, shaking her head, denying what Captain Santiago had accused her for.
"I didn't! Callum, I swear! You have to believe me."
"Silence!" Hollered the deranged captain, his voice ricocheting.
Both their crews were on high vigilance, swords drawn and waiting for the command. One word and chaos will break out. Callum had to think about his words rightly, one mistake and he would put his men and Vereena in great danger.
