The clink of glasses against eachother,the smell of men who haven't bathed in weeks it was sickening.With one leg over the other a young woman with her hair in a long ponytail sat at the bar,a look of disgust on her face as men laughed and had a gay old time.Placing some gold down she motioned for the bar keep to get her a pint of rum,having come into port to pick up a few things she wanted to just sit back and relax.As the rum was pushed towards her a hand caught it and drank it before she had a chance to,a frown went across the captain's lips and she looked up to the face of the fat slug who stole her rum.
"That......was.......MINE".
Laughs erupted throughout the bar,but did it look like she was laughing.Taking out her pistol she put it beneath his chubby chin,no one drank her rum without her permission not even a fat ugly swine who hasn't had a bath in ages.The laughing stopped as it was just a stand off between her and the man,both giving looks that would kill a person if they had such powers.
"A woman shouldn't even be drinking such a drink,run back to yer ship and leave the rum to real men".
The fat man laughed,and turned his back encouraging the others to join in but only a few did.
Putting her pistol back to her side,she whipped out her rapier and sliced the man across the back.It was met with a yell as she slid off the chair waiting,the man ran at her as she hoisted herself up on the counter slicing at him again when he missed her and ran by smacking into a nearby wall.
"You want to go another round,i'm here all night you scallywag".

So many things left undone, the Captain had really given Trey a large supply list he had to get. Him being the First mate and all, so he was trusted a bit more then other fellows. The first thing he had taken care of, was of course the rum. Many nights he had enjoyed that with his lone feelings for the Captain. Trey could only hope she felt some what the same as him. After a while he finished, of course a normal man would have taken way longer. Yet he wanted some time to hang around this place, maybe he could score some loot or something.
It was then he saw the Crooked Cat, "Well this looks like an interesting place." With that said he took a step inside, only to see his captain taking out some lard of a man. He sighed, of course the Captain was getting into a fight, the guy probably drank her rum without permission. "Took your Rum again Captain?" Trey smirked slightly as he walked through the room, for some reason every one quieted down when he came in. He always had this affect and he was not sure why. He wondered if Captain Cecillia ever knew anything about him before finding him.
He pushed the thought out of his head, as one of the drunk lards friends aimed their pistol at his captain. Quickly he was grabbing the mans arm, twisting it as he did so, and then flinging him over his back, while pulling out his staff and pinning the man to the wall with the staff at his neck. "Any one else want to mess with me Captain, Ill assure you I will not go easy on you like this sap." Trey chuckled a little bit, leave it to the Captain to get Trey in trouble, well involved.

"COME ON BRING IT"
She stood on the counter twirling her rapier in her hand,but instead of the men laughing now they seemed to be gawking at her.She blinked and remembered she was wearing barely anything,giving a small blush and a giggle she put her rapier away and did a flip off the counter landing with a thud on the wooden floor.That was when her first mate came through the door,giving a huge grin she put hand behind her head giving a nervous laugh and then put her other hand on her slender hip.
"Well you should know by now,NO ONE TAKES MY RUM".
Hearing the click of a pistol,she turned her head but Trey was already taking care of the problem.Crossing her arms over her chest she watched her first mate take care of the guy,although she was more the capable of handling herself.
"Trey leave him,just get me another rum huh".

Trey gave the Captain a nod, and then gave the pungent man a death stare that would frighten even the most dangerous men. He placed a couple coins on the counter and ordered for two. He gave one to his Captain and started to drink the other. "Man no wonder no one else can be your first mate, its a full time job just keeping you out of trouble." He chuckled before taking another drink.
Of course by now the men, that were ever so rude, left the bar in a hurry. Trey stalked them like he was a hunter, and they were his prey. He looked to Cecillia, his eyes asking if he should follow, that way they did not bring any more back." After that he went to the place where the man dropped his pistol, he picked it up and then checked, yep it was loaded.
The man had intended to kill his Captain, that pissed him off, and he was tempted to shoot the man for it. Trey decided to obey Cecillia and leave him be, he took a seat and wondered what would happen. Of course the men came back soon after, with quite a few men, they had their guns loaded and ready to shoot. Right as one was about to pull the trigger, Trey pulled the trigger in his hand first, launching the round bullet straight through the Captains forehead.. the other Captain of course, not his own.
With a thud the man dropped, and then Trey sighed, he had hoped to not have to kill another person. Yet that was part of being a pirate. "Scoop up your Captain and never let me see your faces again." This was a rare side of Trey, sure he let his emotions get the best of him, but he was never that cold. Surely something from his past had kicked in and made him a bit more cold for the moment. The pistol dropped to the floor, as his hand went to his head. He looked like he had a head ache, but he was just barraging him self for killing that man.
"I..I'm sorry Captain, I have no clue what got into me.."

She took the rum bringing the pint to her lips taking a sip and letting the bitter liquid run down her throat,again taking a seat and crossing one leg over the other.Really to squabble over a silly thing like a pint of rum it was unheard of,but when someone said a woman couldn't handle it well that always made her just a tad bit upset.Growing up around a old sea dog who drank rum all the time,and being in a town where mostly every sea dog drank a pint a day you learn to either drink it or just keep your thoughts to yourself.When she was old enough to even taste this wonderous liquor at first she had gotten quite ill,but over time she got used to it and ever since then she has enjoyed it.
"Honestly a fight over rum,he should have just kept his paws off"
Seeing the man run off and Trey pick up the pistol,Cecilia gave a goofy grin and took another sip of the rum swallowing it.Hanging her head back she let her elbows rest on the edge of the bar counter,but her head came back foreward seeing the man had returned with his little buddies.Did they ever give up,she noticed they're pistols pointed at her and ready to fire.Oh this was lovely just peachy,but a smirk played across her lips when she heard a trigger being let go and the other Captain fall with a thud to the floor.
What had gotten into Trey,it was not like him to just kill a man like that in cold blood.Finishing her rum she slammed the glass on the counter giving a little hiccup,this was a darker side she had never seen before to her first mate.Could it be there was something else about him she did not know,in fact when she had first met Trey he had no memory of who he was except for his name.The captain could feel all eyes on them,so perhaps it was a good idea to be going.
"Don't worry about it,just......don't do it again".

Trey was still frowning even though the Captain had forgiven him. People were now whispering to each other, they were asking each other if they recognized him from somewhere. Then some one said that he looked quite a bit like the lost pirate Red Dawn, immediately they all laughed at the notion of him being the Red Dawn. After all he would not take orders from a Captain, a female no less.
Well that was their reasons for him not being Red Dawn, they were just naive. "Aye Captain, Ill hold my self from doing that ever again." He sighed and with a quick gulp finished his miracle drink. Trey looked around the room, every one becoming quiet, "I'm sorry for the intrusion of your day Mates.." Really if he was not walking around with a Captain people would think he was just a Noble, or just a Gentleman, he always had that heir about him.
"Soo.. where to next Captain?" Trey asked with a certain tone of voice, that was trying to forget what just happened. Yet it was to late, the Captain would now know he was capable of killing a man just like that, well that is if they threatened his Captain at the least. Trey tried to reason with him self, saying that he was just doing his job, protecting his Captain, yet inside he knew that it was for his blood thirst self.

Her ears caught the men whispering,something about the infamous Red Dawn.She had heard his name many a times but had never had the pleasure of meeting him,but most pirates knew not to cross blades or even path's with Red Dawn.The rumors she had heard was he was not merciful to any crew or they're captains,leaving nothing but a trail of blood in his wake.Cecilia's eyes fell upon Trey and thought for a momment,the way he killed that man it was almost quite scary and quite close to what Red Dawn would do.But that was just a silly notion,as if her first mate could be that pirate.
"Let's go get some supplies".
She slid off the chair once more and headed towards the door,stumbling abit as she walked.Rum sure packed a punch,but regaining her composure she kicked open the door and headed out.Pulling Trey along she pushed him ahead and looked back at the pirates who we're still whispering,and snickering to themselves.They only stopped when she shot them a icy glare,but as soon as left they burst into laughter again and Cecilia slammed the door.
"What the hell is they're problem,thinking you we're Red Dawn now that's a laugh".

Trey was silent... he did not join in the laughter, a tear hit the ground as it rolled off his ground. His hands were tightened into fists, his own fingers drawing his blood. "I..I have no idea who I really am...................... or what I did, ........ and now....and now I just killed a man with out even a second thought. I........I just pulled the trigger... because he was aiming it at you.... whats wrong with me?"
He was confused right now as it was easily seen, he was a strong man... that was the least that could be said about Trey. He had never shed a tear before in front of the Captain, he was always trying to comfort her, but now.... he just killed a man.. It was different for some reason, "They....say I'm Red Dawn.... maybe I am..... who knows..... but....even if I am... would you still have me Captain? Would you have one of the worst pirates in all of history as your first mate? Would you allow me to stay on the ship huh?"
He hated the idea of being away from the woman he loved, hell he was not even sure if she felt the same way. Trey would have loved to know... and he wanted to tell her so badly... but how could he after this... how could he look her in the eyes ever again, how could he still be her first mate. "What am I suppose to do... not know my past... they say that the past is not important... but surely they remember theirs...who was I? " He shook his head, "Besides the supplies are already taken care of Captain."

"I don't know Trey,but worrying about it is not going to make it any better".
Not knowing one's past is frustrating,even she couldn't remember anything about her past.All she could remember was someone calling her name,then it went all fuzzy after that.Then that old sea dog found her saying she had washed up upon the shore from a storm,so Cecilia could only guess she had been washed overboard in a storm.But who had been calling her name was not clear to her,maybe the answer lay out on the open ocean somewhere at sea.Shaking that thought from her mind,she slapped Trey on the back when he asked about if he was Red Dawn would she still allow him as her first mate.
"Even if you are a cold blooded pirate captain,I would never turn you away as my first mate".
Unless he did get his memories back,no that was jumping the cannon a little too far ahead.And besides what did those stupid pirates know in that bar,half of them had been piss drunk anyways.But as a precaution she would watch his actions in a future fight should one ever come they're way,truth was she wanted Trey to stay the way he was now not change.Even though she would never admit it,she had feelings for him and if he was indeed Red Dawn and ever regained his memories all that she felt for him would shatter in a heartbeat.Because she didn't know if he had a special someone,was Red Dawn even capable of loving another person.
"Oh really,then let's stay the night here and set out in the morning".
She gave a nervous laugh,again giving him a slap on the back as she walked foreward her footsteps a little hurried.In her mind she kept trying to push out the thoughts of him being Red Dawn,a murderous pirate captain all this time a part of her crew.She wasn't going to stop going insane till she found out more,perhaps when he was sleeping she would ask around.

He was shocked at the slap, but the shock quickly faded, as he had a dead look on his face. When she suggested they stay here for the night he nodded. Treys heart began to beat faster and faster, it was like no beat he had encountered before. He wanted to know what was going on, it was as if his body was beginning to move on its own, he had no control it seemed like.
Trey told his mind to stop, to not do it, he knew what he was wanting to do, but he knew it would most likely end in him only getting hurt. He did not want that, but his body wanted it so bad, that feeling of passion, the sweet sound of the fiery embrace. Oh how the sun shined.... on the Captain, making her look ever so beautiful as she walked. Her hips trailing behind her, oh how he wanted her.
His body moved on its own, as his arm reached out and wrapped around hers, pulling her back into a spin and into his arms. Where his lips caressed hers, until finally the pressure of his lips reached her in a passionate kiss. Damn, he had done it, even though he had told himself not too. Christ how was he gonna explain this now.... He broke away from the kiss and looked down at his Captains eyes. "I...I guess well... this...I.....have no idea what to say.....I mean...it just happened...how am I suppose to explain this...?"

She was almost halfway to the inn,when she felt herself being pulled in a spin and then her bouncy bossum met Trey's chest.Her eyes went a little wide feeling his lips against hers,then went into a passionate kiss.What the hell did he think he was doing and especially in this kind of port,she could feel eyes on them and snickers and quiet laughs coming from pirates who we're nearby.When he broke the kiss she pushed him away and just stood there dumbfounded,so he had feelings for her too but even if this we're to be true they shouldn't be doing that kind of thing out in the open like this.
"You can explain it in the Inn,just what the hell are you thinking".
Pulling him by his ear she dragged him down the street towards the inn,of all the gutsy things t do in the open.When they had gotten out of the prying eyes of other pirates,she gave him a smack across the face then did a roundhouse kick into a nearby wall.After she sighed and went over to him kneeling down,this was her first mate and even though she too had feelings for him she didn't want to come off as a softie otherwise people get the wrong idea and she was a captain.
"I'm sorry.......".

He smacked him self right before she pulled him toward the Inn, and then out of prying eyes. He stood there and took the beating she gave him, when she did a roundhouse kick he fell back against the wall, slightly out of breath. Boy could she ever kick, man he would hate to be her enemy in this situation. It was then she leaned down and apologized for what she had just done.
"N...No don't be sorry, its my god damn fault. No, I should have let you know sooner, I should not have let my body take control of myself. It was my fault not yours, Cecillia..... I have... well I have... I have loved you.... for a long while." He had only ever called her by her name one other time, it was only when he was completely serious, when he was not talking to her as a Captain, but as a friend, a human being, a woman. He had looked into her eyes when he had said he loved her but then he looked down to the ground.
"I... I would have said something earlier, b...but for once I was actually afraid of saying anything. I did not feel right, I felt like I was two halves, and I can only give you one half of me, because I have no idea what the other half is. I have no clue if I ever was married, if I have children, if I have any family, I have no idea. I did not feel it was right, to burden you with...these feelings, when I feel like its not even the whole me...... Yet I can't....I....I can't help but look at you, and have to try to stop the speed of my heart from beating so fast, I cant help that the way you walk attracts my eyes, I cant help that everything about you turns me on."
He sighed, before smacking his elbow behind him, cause a hole in the wall. That took an incredible amount of strength, "See I have no idea of how strong I am. Hell I don't even know if you feel the fraction of the way about me, that I feel about you, and Im being selfish just saying all this, but I cant help it Celcillia, ... you....you give me hope.... that maybe....that just maybe, even if I did something horrible, that even if I am Red Dawn, that I can make something better of myself. That I do not have to live in my pasts shadow, that I don't have to be the man I was. Yet I don't even know, if I were to hold you in my arms, if I would crush you or not, because I have no idea of what my true strength is, and for that... I am sorry. I...I want to give myself to you more then anything Cecillia, ,more then life itself, I want to be with you... but I feel like you do not deserve me, you can do better then me, you deserve some one who has a past, some one who can give their all to you." This was the second time this day that a tear fell to the ground from Trey.

"Saying you love me is one thing,but you can't run away from the past".
If you ran away from the past it would only come and haunt you,and from the way he was talking it almost made him sound like he was Red Dawn.Then did this mean he was Red Dawn,the infamous dreaded pirate that has been spoken of in dark legends and among pirates alike.Of course he's not as famous as the dreaded pirate whose loot is buried somewhere on a deserted island,said to be a king's ransom even more.There we're pirates and then there we're legends in many different times,but even so if it was Red Dawn in front of her he was sure acting like a sissy boy.
"Even if you did have a family,or whatever it doesn't mean you need to act like a sissy boy Trey".
She watched as his elbow made a hole in the wall,shaking her head she sighed.He was pretty much convincing her that he was the long lost Red Dawn,and that bound to raise questions if other pirates pick up on that.And this also meant that whatever happened in his past will catch up to him,she would most likely need to ask around.And if that happened he will be getting asked questions of where he's been all this time and why he remembers nothing,but what's worse is they will probably ask why he's with her.
"Oh shut yer pie hole Trey,if you are Red Dawn you can't change who you are".

Damn it she didn't even mention anything of her own feelings, and she called him a sissy boy on top of that. "Damn it Cecillia, I am not trying to run from my past, I just do not know, plus your evading the other topic god damn it." He said as his whole elbow bunched right through the wall behind him. He stood up quickly not wasting another minute. "How am I running...if I have no where to run to. Im not trying to change who I am.. Im only wanting to know my past."
"Am I a sissy boy for wanting to be able to bring joy and happiness, and give the best life possible to the woman I WANT TO SPEND MY LIFE WITH.." He was sort of pissed now, so Trey turned around and bashed the wall quite a bit. "DAMN IT CECILLIA, how...how...what am I to do, I can't embrace my past, I can't run from my past, I can't even confront my past...because I have NO FUcking clue to what it is."
"Im sorry to have snapped like this, but come on... how can I not. I have been so locked up inside....this....this is the only time I have ever broken down like this and you know that. You have been by my side this entire time, and because of that you have one of the most gifted first mates ever. Yet...you also have the most fucked up...Im tired of not knowing Cecillia, I want to know who I am... I want to know what I can do and Im capable of... I want to know why I lost my memory."
"I am confronting my emotions Cecillia, that is not something a sissy boy would do. I am telling the woman I love... that I love her.. and It may be bad timing and it may be one of the worst ways possible...but Im doing that, god damn it I am a man.... A man who does not know of his own past, but strives to better the future....strives to make your life better." He turned around his face full of compassion, "So tell me... how do you feel? Is their something between us, or is it just me... I know this is fast... I know this is unexpected... but damn it I can't just stand by your side and not let you know how I feel. If I am Red Dawn then Fuck it... screw the people who I have hurt, because all that matters is here and now Cecillia...thats all that matters. I am your first Mate now, I am not a Captain... I am yours...I am yours......"

Her expression went solem a momment,her lips turned into a frown.It was because she was afraid to let herself love anyone that was keeping her from expressing her emotions to Trey,it's because she has known for the longest time that he possibly is the long lost Red Dawn and what scares her the most is that he will remember everything.That she would lost him forever and he would just cast her aside as if she was nothing,and another thing that frightened her was if he did indeed have a wife or fiancee looking for him what would that do to her.Would he tell his lover from in the past he wants to move on with this captain,and how would she take it.
"I'm scared Trey,scared of what might come.......of what may happen".
In truth she didn't want to lose Trey,she wanted him to keep on forgetting he was possibly Red Dawn.That mercenary was dead to her and hopefully to other's who wanted to spread vicious rumors that he could be standing in this very port,his words somewhat touched her.Saying screw the people he has hurt,that he is hers....but there are alot of people Red Dawn hurt and even murdered.Cecilia knew that once a pirate had blood on they're hands you could never wash it away,it was there branded in your skin like a disease.
"I do love you,but I don't want to lose you".
