Sin City Tortuga

[Allie]

I sensed the tense feeling and as much as it hurt me i realsied she was still scared of me...

''I'm not going to hurt ye any more''

I took her hand back after she snatched it away

''...Promise''

[Lana]

"Fuck you and your promises", - she muttered. - "You've already done enough shit to my life", - Fab slurred, but her eyes were serious and dark. She looked at him and wondered whether she'd better stop. Who knows when I cross the line?.. - she thought, careful not to trigger Jack anymore and not to give him more reasons for hurting her.

She hesitated, but didn't take her hand away this time.

[Allie]

I listened to her harsh...but true words and twisted them in my head. I didn't respond, but turned her pale hand over in mine and traced the lines and creases of her palms, I traced right down to her wrist, were there was a elongated red wound, i brushed the dry blood off it and stroked it gently. Running my finger over the bumps on it, I let her hand fall into my lap while I ripped off a small piece of cloth from my shirt. i wrapped it all the way around the wound and tied it in a neat bow, then resumed the holding of her hand.

''...Better?''

[Lana]

Fab was watching Jack silently, staring at her hand in his, staring at him bandaging the wound which was just a scratch, nothing serious... except for the fact that such scratches were covering all her body now and some of them were deeper than that one. Some of them were invisible and, therefore, the deepest. She hadn't experienced such mental pain before...

She blinked the tears away and looked up at him, saying nothing, just trying not to cry. Not in front of him, not now. She couldn't let him see her weakness.

"If you don't mind, I will sleep here", - she muttered. - "I don't want to be awake".

[Allie]

''Aye, ye sleep here for as long as ye want. I'll sleep up deck''

I still held her smooth hand in mine and gently picked up the other one and held them together. Long fingers curling round mine, the contrast of dark coffee skin and her creamy milk coloured palms entwined...

Will you just shut it. And stop being so sensetive.

I dropped her hand down abruptly and pulled a face.

[Lana]

She frowned slightly... why such a drastic change all of a sudden? Why becoming so soft after being so monstrously cruel?.. But Fab couldn't care about it too much, being as drunk as she was. The rum had its effect and her mind was fogged and blurred.

She blinked, looked at him and shrugged: "Whatev'r", - Fab muttered and lied down onto the pillow, closing her eyes.

[Allie]

I slumped into a chair by the side of the bed and pulled a bottle of rum out the drawer and downed the contents in a couple of hearty gulps.

Just a bit longer. Just a bit more time and she'll be all over me again. But I'm never gonna' get that treasure if I don't have her on my side...and to be honest...I did want her to be happy and better again. I had hurt her.

I smirked breifly and glanced over at her. i'll fight with my thoughts later.

...I do feel awful for what I did. Its all my fault....

''BLOODY HELL JUST GO AWAY!''

I raised an eyebrow and frowned.

''....Rum''

[Lana]

"What?!" - Fab jerked her head upwards, looking around and not realizing who Jack had just addressed. - "Go away?" - she frowned. That bastard had just told her to stay... what the hell was he? Schizophrenic?..

[Allie]

''Oi! No no! i didn't mean you luv'...It was just...I...nevermind. No. Stay luv''

I smirked. I could sure bloody well mix peoples head up well couldn't I? I turned my gaze back to her...

''...Sorry, just...rest luv''

[Lana]

She muttered something indistinctly, something that sounded like a curse, and put her head back onto the pillows, trying to fall asleep.


(( we can make a timeskip to the next day, I guess? ))
