A/N: Well here it is! The next chapter I hope you'll like it I have to thank my Beta Big J for correcting the many mistakes I made Thank you very much!! She's done a great job But now have fun ;) -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ “Are you kidding me?“ Brian yelled and gave his first mate Ben the telescope, who also took a look through it at the pale figure,sitting on the beach of the island. “OK men! The Captain is right! It looks like our ghost is just a stranded sailor…” Ben grinned. They had really mistaken the blonde for a ghost from the distance. “Bring me that sailor! Now!” Brian growled at the five men in front of him, who nodded. “Aye Aye Captain” Ben, Michael, Todd, Emmett and Ted, the five sailors, rowed their way in the tiny boat to the island and the young sailor, while Brian and the rest of the crew stayed on board the ‘Queen of Babylon’. Brian looked once again through his telescope and watched his men approaching the island and the young sailor who obviously hadn’t noticed them. A small smile spread over Brian’s face when he studied the young man. ***** Justin opened his eyes, when he heard a sound coming from his left and immediately saw five men coming towards him. Were they from his crew? Justin looked to the ship, which was lingering two miles away from the beach. No, it wasn’t the “Endeavour.” It was another ship. He looked at the flag and his blood froze in his veins. Shit! Pirates! Justin had to get away! They would probably kill him and he wasn’t ready to die now. Maybe they hadn’t seen him yet and he could hide in the jungle until the “Endeavour” came along. But that was unlikely because the men were coming towards him and when he tried to get up, their steps were getting faster. As he tried to get up a sudden pain rushed through his right shoulder and he had to stop for a second. He tried once again and he made it, but when he was on his feet a wave of nausea hit him. Everything was spinning in front of his eyes but he had to get away from the pirates. He just had to! He only made a few steps when a pair of strong, large hands wrapped around his right arm and jerked him back. Justin cried out in pain, before everything in front of his eyes went black. ***** Ben was the first one who caught up with Justin and he wrapped his hands around the young man’s arm who tried to get away from them. The boy cried out and collapsed. Ben caught him before he hit the ground and then he noticed a deep wound on the boy’s shoulder. “Shit!” Emmett, who was now standing next to Ben, had also seen the wound and took off his shirt. “What the fuck are you doing?” Ben asked, irritated. They had to get the boy on board as fast as they could or he would bleed to death. “We have to stop the bleeding! Now hon, don’t you look like that at me. Vic taught me that!” He pressed his shirt onto the wound; while in the meantime, the other three men arrived. “Shit! He doesn’t look good!” Ben lifted Justin up in his arms and they made their way back to the boat. ***** “Captain! He’s wounded! He needs help!” Michael cried out, while climbing on the ship. Brian nodded and sent someone to get Blake, who knew a lot about wounds and how to treat them. He came immediately on deck and when he saw Justin, still unconscious hanging over Ben’s shoulder, he frowned. “Brian. He looks really bad and he needs a bed…” he told Brian quietly who just nodded. “Bring him into my cabin…” Brian told Ben “… Emmett, go with them and look after him until he’s better. Once he recovers he will work on deck with you until we are at the next harbour. Got it? And the rest of you, go back to work! Oh and before I forget, Todd, Michael and Ted, you’ll go back to that fucking island and search for the rum! And don’t come back without it!” Brian sent his men away and walked below deck to look after the young, blonde sailor. He opened the door to his cabin at the very moment that Blake pressed a cloth to the boy’s shoulder. Justin, who was now conscious, cried out in pain. Then he noticed the tall man standing in the door frame and his eyes locked with the intensive, hazel eyes, which stared at him, before the man turned around and shut the door behind him. Brian leaned against the closed door and tried to shut out the cries of the blonde and tried to regain control over his body, which was shaking of its own volition. He could still feel the intensive gaze locking with his… TBC
