Chapter 7: The pig sty

“Why can’t we have pizza!” Will asked, Eumillia was still in a shock state.

“Yes let’s call the pizza guy. Hello, I would like 13 pizzas delivered to somewhere in the ocean, but please don’t tell the police about us! Idiot!” Shën said and Christophe began laughing in his chair.

“And while you are at it could you send your hottest chick, because I am the best at picking up chicks I mean did you see the girl I had with me last night… oh, wait I didn’t have a girl last night, or the night before that, or the night before that!” Will countered and this send Christophe of the chair onto the floor. Shën threw what looked like a cabbage head at Will, which he countered with a knife, slicing it in half. Then he threw one of the pieces at Shën but it spiralled of course and landed on the laughing Christophe who got up and joined the food fight, Dmitri who was examining his braces soon joined the fight as well.

Jun and Tak were standing in the corner “discussing” things, as Tak couldn’t response verbally only with signs. They didn’t care about anything, not even all the food that went to waste. There were tomatoes, potatoes, pork chops, and even a knife here and there in the air, and nobody gave a damn that their prisoner was just sitting on the floor unwatched.

Eumillia finally mustered up enough courage to run for the door. If she could just get to the ship she might have a chance at getting out, but which way was the ship, it rained to much outside for her to see which direction she needed to go in. So she just ran for the first door she saw and found herself on a rainy overflowing bridge. This is a mistake, she thought to herself as she crossed the bridge, slipping a couple hundred times, but I have to get out of this madhouse.

She reached the other side of the bridge and saw the ship was two boxes to the left. So she just had to get through two boxes to get there. She entered the first box and was not ready for the sight. As she entered she heard snakes hiss at her, and the room was dark, lit up by nothing but candles. The walls were filled with bottles with all sorts of entrails and liquids and as she scanned the walls she found the source of the hissing before, a snake was making its way towards her.

“What are you doing here?!” a voice asked and her eyes met the snakes gaze. Her powers did not affect animals so she could freely look into its eyes. Did it talk? She wondered as she backed.

“I asked you a question girl.” A voice was heard again but it came from a different place then before. She followed the voice but there was nothing.

“I wonder, are you mute?” the voice asked as it travelled right in front of her. Suddenly a wall of smoke appeared before her and out came hundreds of snakes all snapping at her. She hated snakes, one of her many phobias. She screamed and the wall disappeared just as quickly as it came and behind it was a man.

He was dark skinned, a very nice mahogany colour, his skin perfectly coloured. He had tattoos all the way from his left shoulder to his right fingertip, but they blended in so beautifully with his skin.

He was tall, taller than any of the other men had been and he was stunning. Except for the fact that his face was painted like a skull. But behind the paint lay a beauty without compare. He jaw was strong yet subtle, his eyes were harsh, yet sweet, and they were blue, light blue, making him seem almost ghostly as he stood there in front of her.

He long hair had a mixture of dreadlocks and straight beautiful dark brown, it was tied back in a loose ponytail but some of it was encircling his face. He came closer and Eumillia had to bite her lip, in need for something to do other than to stare.

“The snakes find you weird, why is that?” he asked his dark voice matching his complexion. Eumillia had never seen a man this handsome. His jacket was made of fur, but one of the arms was ripped of showing his muscly arms and his beautiful tribal tattoos.
