My Julian Talk

From me stitching Julian up went a couple hours ago, since it is already night time, and the crew stopped the ship somewhere close to an abandoned island.

Although Julian's words are still pretty stuck in my mind, not only that but his captivating eyes to. I made a decision to be his friend. Or at least try to be one, since I have yet to ask to stay here.

I was snooping at my dinner while others were laughing out loud and telling each other some jokes. Wylie who was not yet seated on the table tapped my shoulder, so I looked him in the face.

"Can yer give tis to Julian m'lady?" Just now noticing that in his right hand he had a plate with food I nodded my head slowly and said "No problem Wylie"

I wasn't even that hungry so I took the plate and excused myself from the table. Leaving the crew to have fun and drink their night away.

Julians cabin was a floor above so I took the little ladders and carefully went up, watching not to spill any of the food from the plate.

It really didn't take me long to reach his cabin, so I knocked three times just to make sure I don't go to see him half naked, or naked. Not that I would mind.... 'For Christ Sake Adelaide' I thought to myself 'You already saw him half naked, be satisfied' It is true but then I didn't have a good look at him, I mean I WAS sewing him...

Hearing a faint "Enter" I slowly opened the door only to find dear Captain Hades half naked...you see now I could have a good look.

As he was lying in bed with the sheets covering everything down his abdomen. Even with scars his toned body was beautiful. I mean he was beautiful, "nope Adelaide you are not going that road..."

Shutting the door behind me as I entered the chamber I spoke "Good morning sleeping beauty. How are you feeling?"

"Very well milady" he said clenching his jaw as he was getting up to sit.

"Don't push your self Captain..." that's when he interrupted by saying "...Julian.." making me roll my eyes at him

"Whatever Julian, here." I said giving him the plate as I was now next his bed.

"Sit Adelaide, let's talk for a bit, aye"

Nodding my head I sat next to his torso carefully, paying attention not to hurt him.

"What is on your mind Julian? What's the wish to talk to me now?"

"Impatient are we now" Julian said as he let out a short laugh.

Without saying one word, I waited for him to continue.

"Let us start from the beginning then, how did you got on me boat Adelaide?"

"It's a bloody weird story, and you wouldn't believe me anyway" I sighed.

As he prepped himself even more at the head of the bed, he said "Try me, I saw more things on the sea that none want to belive"

"I was supposed to get married, to someone I didn't think I loved, some cruel commander. However one night, I don't know whether to look at it as salvation from that man or as an evil that has now separated me from my family, they came like a fog that came with them, those pirates who were already dead but alive. Indescribably strange. My parents, knowing who they were, yet still didn't think to tell it to me, came to pick me up to go with them to the hideout, but those dead-alive people had already started entering our house, so they told me to run, to run to the pier. To run to safety. I last saw them there, but I know they're not dead. They are too stubborn for something like that. My father gave me a sword and just pushed me to go, saying that they would be fine and that he was sorry for Diego. The man I was supposed to be a married to. Mostly running through that thick fog, I came across a dock and climbed onto a boat. That's where I fell asleep. Eventually I woke up with swords, rifles in my face and your entire crew ready to throw sharks at me. There we temporarily agreed for me to help find you since I know a few people through my father, and they let me stay with them until you make a decision. It is an abbreviated version of this story."

Looking at him trough telling how I got here I saw the faces he was making. From raising his brow when I said I was supposed to marry Diego, to looking unfazed when I talked about the Dead-Living. Like he already knew what I was talking about.

"Who did you say were supposed to marry of?"

Taking a big breath, and looking away from the Captains eyes I spoke his name.

"Don Diego Solman"

"BLOODY HELL! Of course it's him"

Flinching a bit when he yelled I closed my eyes and said "It's in the past now, which I thank the Lords for it"

"Hmmm, aye. So ye know hot use a sword Milady?" He asked smirking.

"A bit yes, my father thought me when I was younger. Something about needing it at the future and that even a lady should know how to defend herself."

"We shall see about how much exactly swift are you with it in a few days, and anyway you are to stay at this boat. There is more to you, and I am quite intrigued if I must say meself. But all in all we could use a warrior."

"Thank you Julian, but where am I too sleep, and what happened with the I know everything because I need a explanation about the undead pirates"

"Yer gonna sleep here, and for the other thing there is all the time in the world, don't rush the knowledge, bear with me for a little longer and I shall tell you all I knoe Milady."

"We shall talk about the sleeping schedule later, how much time do you need?"

"Month and you will know everything, everything there is to know. I swear it on meself"

"Fine, a month...now eat"

"Ye know I'm the Captain right?" he spoke as he raised his left brow and smirked.

"Yes, now eat..."

A month of not knowing anything more. I shouldn't have promised I'll wait that long.

They are so many things unanswered, so many questions swirling in my head.

With the feeling that Diego is somehow tied with all of this, I fear for my parents, and my family.

I fear what happened to them.

Did they survived? They couldn't have died. I know they couldn't.

But the bad feeling just won't leave my body, nor my soul and mind.

Presuming that both Julian and I noticed I spaced out, he decided to speak "You wanna talk about whatever is bothering ye? I'm not a 80 year old grandpa but I have me moments where I can be wise, and I sure am a good listener. At least I think so.

I smiled and looked at him saying "I'm just tired. That's all"

Scooping over, to make room for me he spoke "Lie here, it's alright"

"No, no thats your bed"

"Don't make it complicated and just lie yer buttocks beside me, aye?!"

I giggled but I was honestly too tired to even make an argument about it. So I crossed the to the other side and dipped in the bed.

I know it was utterly stupid to lie down next to Julian, in his bed. But hear me out, a: boy he was hot; b: he hadn't showed me a reason to fear him; and finally c: I was simply too tired to fight the sleep of, and I would of slept anywhere. Even the floor.

As sleep slowly gripped me, I could hear the creaking of the bed and the floor. Like when someone gets up and the mattress sinks and then refills with air when that person gets up from it, if you understand me..

I woke up with loud voices, and it took me a while to understand where I was now...
