Bellona Reborn Part 3
Ch3: A Death is Promised Two months have passed. I have been teaching Reyna how to throw the knife. She does better than I do. I have not have practice for years. Reyna has also been becoming increasingly angry about those pirates. She yells curses in Latin againist them when they deliver our food. She talks about getting revenge on them so much, you'd think she was a child of Nemesis. I should have seen this coming. I should have warned her to stop these rebellious feelings. But it was too late. Disaster struck on one balmy day. We had been at sea for months, and the swell of the tides did not do good on my stomach. One of the pirates who has the job of delivering our food came early. He was a greasy man called Orlick, and he had a scar than ran like a twisted snake down his face. He was the pirate that had killed Circe. He walked into the Brig and opened the door. I was hiding in my usual corner of the room. Reyna and I were careful to hide when dinner was served, since if the pirates saw we had freed ourselves from the ropes so easily, they might had been suspicious.Usually Orlick would put the tray on the floor and leave the room. Once he was gone, we would eat it. Or lick walked into the center of the room. As he was setting the dish down on the floor, Reyna struck. Reyna pounced on the pirate, her knife in her hand, her eyes wild. The Battle Ectasy had taken over my sister. My heart turned cold. Reyna's aim was deadly. With one stroke, she plunged the knife into Orlick's side. He hollered with pain. My battle-crazed sister charged into the corridor, an I ran after her. Her roving eyes were searching for something to kill. She wandered aimlessly along the wall, her eyes wandering. Ugly Face Struck. He tackled my sister, wrenching the blood-stained knife from her grip and slamming her into the wall. I was seized from behind by a pirate. He grabbed a rope from the wall and tied my arms and legs together.
