Captain Creepy- I mean Jack
Part 2:
I didn't stop running until I made it to an alleyway. Leaning against the wall, it was hard to catch my breath. Captain Creepy Jack the the Ripper of the Green Mantis has sparked something within me.
{Did he follow? Am I safe?} I look around at my surroundings, only to find an alleycat cleaning itself. I slide down the wall, a little disappointed he didn't take chase.
Soon as my breath returns to normal, I hear someone approach the darkened place. "Maann, that girl was suuure purdy. Wish I coulda got a taste of her."
{Great, drunks.} I pull my knees to my chest.
"Ya thinks we could find another?" The same man asks, kicking a can or something in his way. The cat lets out a screech, hisses, and runs off.
Another responds to him. "I sure hope so." He hiccups. "But we's goin' the wrong way."
"Ah, bug off. I'm goin the right way."
"Ay! Don't you shove me!"
{Ugh, now they're gonna fight?} I peek around the pile of rubbish. Both men are clearly of nobility. Too nice of clothes to be otherwise. If I were to try and leave, they might spot me. {I don't need the harrassment right now.}
However, one of them do notice me. "Ay! What chya doin' hidin' like that, purdy lady?" He shoves his friend off and stumbles towards me.
My stomach churns as bile threatens to spill out. "None of your business." I snap, standing up to leave.
He grabs the same wrist Captain Jack just held earlier. "Don't you talk to me like that! Do you know who I am?"
Thorns shoot from my hand. The man howls, jumping back. "What the hell?"
I duck around him and make my escape. To my excitement and disappointment, Captain Jack was just exiting a pub when I ram into him.
"Keh, you again?" He grabs my arm, eyes blazing with anger, amusement, and something else.
I shudder under his gaze. "Hello, Captain Creepy, mind letting me go?"
Captain Yami stands next to Jack, his laughter booming. "You got balls, newbie."
"Oh, Captain Yami, Sir, hello."
Captain Jack glares at him before returning those eyes on me. "You owe me three apologies now."
"You didn't give me a chance before you gave me attitude earlier, Captain." I stare back at him, unafraid but ready to make him chase again.
"Keh," he lifts me up. "I'll just have to make good with my threat."
Captain Yami steps in this time. "Let her go, String Bean. Can't take a little sass?"
Jack drops me, facing Yami. "You wanna fight?"
"Any day!" Yami takes a stance against him.
"Knock it off, you two." The silver eagles captain, Nozel, steps between them. "Now isn't the time nor place for that."
Yami turns attention to him. "What are you going to do about it, Bangs?"
I just stand there, biting back the laughter. My captain's always hot tempered and ridiculous, but seeing him interact with other captains... {what a show.}
