The wind was blowing and it was a beautiful day. There was not a cloud in the sky. The long grass swayed with the wind, giving in to its demand to move. Laughter filled the air, this was the reason it was her pearl. Her childhood home always alive and full of love....
"Hello Ealora...or should I call you Ethan, never could tell which one you liked more."The bartone voice, soft as silk, like a lovers caress to bare skin at her back broke her solice.
Ealora lids fluttered open. She stayed at the name etched on the grace. Issa. My son, I will avenge you. I love you. Slowly she rose to her feet and turned to regard the man at her back.
Captain Brad was a handsome man. A chisled chin dipped low with soft cheekbones, striking green eyes and slick black hair cut short. At one time in her life, her heart would of sunk at the look of him. He hadn't changed in the years since she had seen him last and he was smirking at her. His hands lazily shoved into the pockets of his slacks.
"I didn't think you'd come after me here. I knew it was coming, but how I would of loved to meet you on the sea."He continued to talk at her silence as he lazily moved around her and paused before the childs grave looking down.
"I had the shape of your eyes, but they were as green as lilly pads. Like mine. My boy"He seemed to be talking in pride and Ealora felt the rage awaken anew within her.
"You bastard!" She let out a scream as she raised her arm to strike him.
Reaching out, he grasped her arm and twisted it behind her back spinning her back to his front as he pressed a dagger against her throat with his free hand. Ealora hand lifted and grasped his arm with the dagger. Turning his head, he pressed it against her wet russet hair and inhaled before letting out a soft moan as she let out a grasp at the twist of her arm.
"Let go of me Benjamin and I'll show you the passion you've been missing" She spit up at him.
He let out a laugh and turned them both so she was looking at the grave of their son.
"Look Ealora, look what you've done. I may helped Vola find him. I might of killed those pathetic people you left him with but I didn't kill him. Hell, not even Vola can be counted for his death. If you had killed him at birth or ensured his death before he left your womb, none of this would of ever happened. You killed him as if you wielded the weapon yourself."He pressed the dagger against her throat as he nuzzled her ear.
Ealora let out a grunt as he turned her, twisting her arm tighter behind her back. She could feel the dagger pressing into her skin, biting as nicked at the sensitive flesh. Celadon eyes turned down to her sons grave. I love you..I love you...I love you..she kept repeating in her mind, hoping he would hear her, where-ever he was, at least he would know he was still loved.
"Lets keep his memory alive hmm?"Benjamin continued as he kicked at her knees making her sink to the ground and grasping her hair, yanking her head back into his legs. Dragging the dagger across neck, he began to etch into it as she let out yelps of pain. I-S-S-A. The blood began to well as the wounds were drawn into her running down to soak into her shirt. She shook with the pain and rage within her. Benjamin only laughed as he finished his work then jerked at her hair, yanking her to her feet. Pressing the dagger to her throat, he turned them towards the town.
"Walk.."He ushered in her ear.
There in the towns only square, her men had been lined up in a row upon their knees. The men of Captain Brad's crew behind them, swords at their throat. Sam and Taylor had been left on their feet but both had their hands bound behind their back by the officials of Captain Brad's men. The Oceans Majesty men laughed, cruelly as she was lead into the square, dagger still at her throat.
"Cap'n!" She heard one of her men say but could not tell who it was.
"Don't move!"She called, her throat stinging with the movement of the skin at her throat.
"That's right, listen to your Captain. Little mink that she is. Has she brought you wealth? Has she brought you glory? No! She recruited you under false terms, all for her own redemption. Now you'll watch her die...either you can join her in death or join my crew." Captain brad called out to the men upon their knees.
Each man sneered back in turn. They had never been recruited under false terms. Each had been the husband, brother, father, or even in some cases, son of someone taken by Brad and his entourage for slavery. Ealora, Taylor and Sam had taught all of them to wield a weapon and the ways of the sea, in order to give them the chance to seek justice against Brad and those that worked for him.
She did not know who made the first move. Who had dared to move when she told them not to but she was glad whosoever it was, had. The battle had begun, the men were fighting for their lives, for their Captain and for justice. Sam had worked free of his attack and had the man on the ground, bashing his face into the sand before cutting him a right hook. Taylor had it seemed all ready bested his man and was running to help the crew take on Brad's men. Ealora jerked behind Benjamin, throwing her elbow into his stomach. When his hand had loosened from her wrist behind her back, she wiggled free and knocked the dagger away from her throat. Whirling around, she threw a kick into his face before turning to catch the dagger as it fell from his hands.
"Help! Help me!"It was a womans voice and Ealora turned to see one of Brads man using a woman to defend himself against one of her own. Twirling the dagger to blade end, she tossed it, catching the man square in the throat. The man gargled as he dropped to the ground and the woman looked dismayed that a pirate had actually helped her.
"Get out of here..No.."She spoke at the woman before the body hit hers from behind. Crashing into the sand, Brad growled at her as he threw a fist into her back before jumping to his feet and grabbing one of her legs to turn her around.
"You stupid bytch! Why couldn't you be like the others huh?"He growled down at her as he threw a kick into her stomach. Ealora gave a grunt and curled into the kick. Reaching down, he grasped her hair and yanked her to her knees before throwing his own knee into her face. Her nose crunched, breaking with the blow and she let out a gasp as the pain engulfed her face, blood spraying down to her lips and chin.
"Give up bytch, life's not worth fighting for. All you had to do was accept being a slave. Now look what you've done to your men"He continued to growl down at her as he yanked her hair, pulling her with him further into the square. Ealora yelped as he pulled her hair, dragging her. Thrusting her hands into the dirt. She stopped him from dragging her as well as forcing him to turn towards her. With a growl of her own, she thrust her torso upward, throwing her boot into his face. Even with the sounds of battling men around her, she could hear her former lovers nose break. Benjamin stumbled backward and clutched at his gushing nose. Throwing her weight again, she summer salted up from the ground and threw her back into his, knocking them both to the ground. Pressing her hands into his chest, she rose up onto her knees before throwing a punch into his face. Benjamin gave out a grunt as his head swung to the side with the blow but he caught her send fist fly and pushed upward rolling her to her back upon the dirt and to his own knees as he sat heavily upon her legs as he held her arms above her head. He leaned in, his lips inches from hers. With a grin, he let his lips sink down to hers.
Ealora bit down for all she was with upon his lips, stupid fool. His kisses didn't work to sooth her anymore. With a scream against her mouth, he jerked for all he was worth until she released him. His blood was bitter within her mouth but with no time to spit it out, she pushed her body upward and knocked her head against his as he held a hand against his lips. The blow threw the Captain off of her and she rolled to her knees, spitting his blood and some of her own onto the sand. A blood hand came in sight from the side and as she lifted her head, Benjamin fist smacked into her jaw. Ealora flew back with the blow, landing upon the sand once more. Her ears ringing and eyes closed against the pain that began to pound within her head.
One day you will leave me...One day you will leave me...one day you will leave me...
The words echoed within her head where not of her own. She held onto them as she felt the presence at her side. Celadon eyes lifted to regard Benjamin standing over her, bloody lips were slightly cracked into a smile as he clasped a sword in one hand, posed near her neck.
I'll always come back for you..
Those words were her own, she reminded them, held onto them as she watched Benjamin hand raise and then fly downward. With all the strength she could muster, she rolled to the side, feeling the sword whoosh past her and hit the sand.
"Ah, still want to fight Ealora...come on, get up. I want to watch your face as I slice your head from your shoulders." Her limbs shaking she raised to her hands and knees then slowly raised to her feet to face him.
"You've all ready lost Benjamin...you just don't know how much"She spit back weakly in his direction as she stood unmoving before him. Benjamin just laughed as he raised the sword.
"Cap'n!"Sam called from behind brad as he tossed a sword over the mans head. She felt Benjamin sword swing towards her neck. Ducking down, time seemed to slow, crawling as she danced within the wet sand, twirling with the duck to miss the swing as she reached out for the falling sword tossed at her. Twirling in the sand once more, she sliced at Benjamin neck, watching as the sword cut deep into the mans throat. Watching as the Captains eyes widened in disbelief. Slowly the man sank to his knees, his grip loosened and the sword falling from his grasp. Ealora turned and stepped up to the man as the blood seeped from his neck.
"See, you didn't beat me Brad...you just made me want life all the more. I do..I want more then what you taught me and thanks to you you..."She paused and touched at her sons name etched within her neck, it still felt slightly wet but the blood had begun to dry.
"Thanks to you, my son is here with me and he will never be forgotten..." She continued as she dropped to her knees before him and raised a hand to press against his cheek. She could tell the life was draining from his face.
"But you..you will burn in hell...and you will be forgotten..."Pressing the tip of the sword to his chest as she spoke, she pushed watching his eyes continue to enlarge as the blade sank into his heart. She continued to press forward till the hilt touched his chest. All ready Benjamin eyes were looking without seeing and she blew him a kiss before letting go of the hilt and letting his body fall away from hers.
Two sets of arms reached for her and helped her to stand. A look to the left and she saw Taylor and then to the right to see Sam. She let out a weak laugh and let them be her source of strength.
"Lets go home now..."She spoke weakly before the world went black and she slumped in their grasp.
"Hello Ealora...or should I call you Ethan, never could tell which one you liked more."The bartone voice, soft as silk, like a lovers caress to bare skin at her back broke her solice.
