Nameless Sails chapter 37 Trouble Set Adrift
A figure was standing upon a large stone, just at the water’s edge,and he held out his flame pistol. From my vantage I could not identify this elf, although he struck what I read to be a jaunty, defiant pose. Could this have been the one who whispered to me while I was chained?
XXXVII. Trouble Set Adrift
Ist lifted a flame pistol in time to cut down his man in a smoking heap, but mine came nearer and pinned my hands before I could draw steel on him.
“Not today, my cherub,” he said roughly, the struggle shaking his voice, “I promise you.”
His eyes were crazed, and he held me with a kind of desperate strength that was hard to counter.
I felt the rail at my back, and dropped down to my knees. His face changed all at once, for his weight had shifted with me, and off he went, over the rail and down upon the sand.
Shouts erupted from all over the camp and shouts came up from our captive crew.
Another pirate tried to climb to the deck, but Ist was quick enough with his flame weapon
If I kiss everyone, will it make the truth go away?
The agony I'm suffering every day.
If I catch your eye, will it give it away?
Because it's all in the eyes, as they say.
I was honourable, I walked away.
Albeit in a catastrophic way.
I willed a love in a different country.
Then I tried to wait like the wise one told me.
It was my free will to leave, I wasn't nasty or sly.
When you did bad things for love, I didn't pry.
It's one rule for you and one rule for I.
I don't know how much more I can cry.
I thought if there's a will, there's a way.
But you will never turn up at my door one day.
I need to run. Run so far away.
I can't live this close, it is killing me.
The dreams are back, I thought they'd gone away.
I guess it's coz of something I heard the other day.
I knew the day would come, but not this nigh.
Will this won't this love ever die?
Then it comes back to the only way.
Someone already put a plague on my house anyway.
I am not Juliet. You're not going to save me.
