The Curse of Piratia Shiamira

TCOPS 17: The Legendary Pirate Lady

SHIAMIRA

"SHIA!!!"

I had enough! I have let them do what they want under my nose: insult me, mock me, attempt to murder me, and degrade me during my uncle's captainship. This time, I won't let them work their arse into tearing my crew apart.

Not even a hand on Cassiara!

"SHIA!!! TITO YMAH!!! TITO OKA!!!"

"Cassiara!"

"CASS!"

Napangitngit ako ng aking ngipin dahil hirap ako ngayon putulin ang tali sa aking kamay. Pilit ko itong kinukuskos sa kahoy sa likod ko pero matagal pa ito mapuputol. My insides flare up as I watch Cassiara struggle from the bastard's grip. Her voice hoarse. Her uncles and the other crew are begging for mercy to not let them harm her.

"SHIA!!!"

"LET HER GO!!!"

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! GALIT KA NA BA NIYAN, PIRATIA?!"

"Screw me!" I curse to myself.

Paano na 'to? Ang tagal maputol ng tali! Baka dugo na kumawala sa katawan ng bata kung hindi ko ito maililigtas!

"Shiamira, come closer so I can cut off the tie on your wrists," the Childe whisper beside me as he nudges my shoulder.

I look at him in shock, "Why won't you cut off your restraints first?"

"I already did!"

"Why haven't you started cutting mine, too!?"

"You were busy cutting it yourself on this wooden pole."

"Have you lost your mind, Childe!?" I snapped at him and he rolled his eyes on me.

"Ah, no!—Tsk! This isn't the time to size up our prides, Shiamira! Cassiara will need you more if I free you. The crew will need their captain."

"Okay." Tumango ako tapos tumabi sa kaniya. Naramdaman ko ang tulis ng kaniyang kutsilyo at dahan-dahang pinuputol ang pagkakatali sa aking pulsuhan. "Do it faster."

"I may hurt you."

"But we have no time. Don't mind me getting hurt."

"I will never do that to someone. Especially to you!—You'll kill me later!"

"Then might as well we die together here by these traitors!" I bark back at him. His lips curve into a jerky smirk that made me scowl at him. "Don't smirk, Childe. Untie me, now."

"Stop flirting with me too, Greedy Pirate."

"I'm going to kill you. I will do it later."

"I'm going to lock myself on the brig."

"Wise choice."

"Thank you. And before that," Then the last tie snaps. "Save Cassiara. I'll help you after I free the others."

I caught his wrist and nod, "Thank you, Keenai. I owe you one."

He smiled genuinely and nodded back. "The pleasure is mine... Shiamira."

"Switch places with me. You need to free Ymah and Oka. I need them to keep Cassiara's safety."

"Got it!"

Nagpalit kami ng pwesto at katabi ko ang isa kong kapwa pirata. Kinuha ko ang aking kutsilyo na nakasukbit sa aking beywang tapos pinasadahan ng tingin ang ibang nakapalibot sa amin. They are laughing and wasn't paying attention to us. "Manahimik ka muna at hintayin ang senyas ko pagkatapos kong tanggalin ang tali mo." Bulong ko rito at tumango siya. "Ikaw na magtanggal sa tali ng iba dahil kailangan kong iligtas si Cassiara."
