1A dirt path was covered in blood as a girl with mid-length blond hair was running with another girl with waist-length blond hair in a white dress, followed by a male with blond hair and a blue blouse, and Behind them, a group of men dressed in royal guard outfits behind them shouting orders at Eachother. As they ran down the path, the girl with the shorter hair tripped over her shredded dress, making her fall behind everyone. The girl with the blue dress turned and stopped to help her up, but the blond male grabbed her hand and pulled her along as the guards grabbed the girl and helped her to her feet to continue running. The girl in the blue dress noticed some movement behind them and let out a scream.
"Look out behind you," she shouted as light passed both of them and a little bit ahead of their path, exploding in the direction they were going in. They all turned to look at what had shot at them and found a spider-like robot thing making its way to them, charging up another beam of light. The guards pushed the girl toward the other two blonds before turning to face off with the beast. The girl stood there momentarily, looking at the monster as the guards charged at it with their swords. Before she can react, the male grabs both of their hands and starts running down the path.
They continued to run as they heard the guards and sounds of battle behind them, along with screams of people from the towns around them. They followed the path to the dock, where a small ship was waiting with a couple of guards inside. The man helped the younger girl onto the little boat and watched as she was assisted in getting on safely. The girl turned, expecting the other two to get on after her, but she watched as the male cut the rope from the dock. She shouted, but it was incoherent as to what she said as they started to drift out to sea. As they began to leave, she saw a couple more of the beasts appear from the tree line, and the other girl yelled something to her.
"Wake up, Arrow. You have to wake up," she seemed to yell, but it came out in a male voice. "Arrow comes on, open your eyes," the voice said again as she watched the monsters power up their lasers and then an explosion.
The girl, Arrow, instantly shot up from the bed she was lying in and started to flail around. Nurses came to her aid as she whimpered and backed away, searching for her sword that was not at her side. She backed away from them, took out the needle in her arm in the prosses, and got up from the bed running to the other side of the room even though she felt very lightheaded. The nurses tried to calm her down and block her path toward the door, but she pushed threw them before strong arms hugged her and pinned her down to the ground. She growled and whimpered as the man grabbed her and threw her on the bed she was in before, pinning her there instead.
She kicks at him sending him a couple of feet away, making enough distance to get away from his hold only to shoot up from the bed again to try and escape the panicking nurses and the now annoyed man. She looked at the door before making a run to the door, only to have her path blocked by another man. She tried to dodge him, but the man from before grabbed her and pinned her to the wall.
"You need to calm down," he yelled as the nurses checked on each other, having tripped or injured themselves lightly with the escape attempt. The man pushed her deeper into the wall as she whimpered and tried to turn to face him as he had her front to the call and back to him. She looked around desperately, not realizing she was letting out a distressing scent that traveled through the room and outside the closed door.
"Get off of her," they heard Ace yell as he came from nowhere and pushed the man off her. She quickly composed herself, only the slight smell of distress coming from her as she looked at everyone in the room from behind Ace.
The door was now wide open, and a bunch of their men came running in, having smelled her scent. The nurses were trying to calm Ace and Arrow down as the two Alpha males in the room glared and growled at Ace, who stood protectively in front of the omega.
Ace, without thinking, made a move to attach them, getting in the first man's face as he yelled, "don't you fucking dare touch her, you ass hole," he growled as he pushed him back. The man instantly got up to challenge the younger man puffing out his chest as he glared at him backing him up with his body.
"I didn't mean to hurt her. I was trying to get ahold of the situation," the man growled at him. Ace seeming to get more annoyed was pulled back by Arrow; he looked back at her and saw how scared she looked. He took a moment to think as Marco, the first division commander, walked up to them before grabbing her arm and leading her through the infirmary and out the door.
"Wait, hold on," one of the nurses yelled after him. It was the head nurse that had treated him when he woke up. "We have to give her a check-up to make sure she-" she didn't get to finish before Ace was out of sight and running threw the hall with Arrow following after him. Many of the pirates saw them and tried to stop them. Still, Ace maneuvered around them, with Arrow doing the same until they got to an old abandoned room close to the laundry room.
Once in the room, Ace turned to Arrow and hugged her confusing her as she slowly patted his back awkwardly as he did so.
"I thought they took you away with the rest of the crew," he said as he gave her a kind smile. They both knew it was a smile of desperation as he hugged her again. "Are you OK?" he asked her as he checked her for any injury. She just nodded her head, her expression not changing as she did so. She then turned her head and made a hand gesture to him.
"I'm fine, don't worry about me" he smiled at her as he leaned back on the old chair that was in the room and let out a sigh. "They took the rest of the crew to another ship, so they didn't get any ideas about helping us escape together. They tried when we were both knocked out," he said.
Arrow shook her head and looked around the room. The room had a twin-size bed and a little desk with a chair next to it. Outside of that, there wasn't much there other than a door to a small bathroom that had never been used before. She turned back to ace before gesturing to her hip. Ace looked at her and shook his head.
"I don't know where your sword is, but I got you that rock tablet you like back," he said as he looked threw his bag and handed it to her. She just nodded and bowed to him slightly before she attached it back to her belt. She turned away from him for a second and watched as he had this look of anger and defeat on his face as he was in deep thought.
Arrow placed her hand on his shoulder before giving him the slightest smile she could muster, assuring him that everything would be OK. Ace looked at her and gave her a sad smile before nodding to her and hugging her again. Again she just patted his back awkwardly before walking away to start cleaning.
Time skip. A couple of days later... Pov Arrow
It was silent on the Whitebeard ship as I sat on the railing waiting. It had been a couple of days since I woke up, and Ace informed me that the crew had been separated. He had also told me that the Whitebeards wanted us to join their family and wouldn't let us leave no matter how many Ace tried to kill their captain before I woke up.
Since I woke up, I hadn't left Ace's side, and I had noticed that most of the crew glared at Ace and would send him growls as he walked past them, but when I did, they would purr or smile at me as if to welcome me and not Ace. It is rather odd, and I found it very confusing as no one had ever done that before other than Ace and Deuce when I first joined the Spade's but ace explained to me that the Whitebeard crew was filled with primary alphas and some high-ranking alphas, and seeing him with me an omega pissed them off. I was confused again, but I didn't bother to ask why that would make them upset with Ace. Why did my second gender mean they had to glare and growl at him and not give me the same treatment? I'm perplexed. This would never happen back home...
I turned and watched as Ace headed to Whitebeard with a blade and watched as he jumped into the air and tried and strike the much older man. Whitebeard just laughed, and with a wave of his hand, Ace fell back to the railing, hitting himself several times.
Instantly I went to his side and helped him up. Around us, the rest of the man's crew laughed at Ace as he glared, and his face went red in anger before he stomped inside. I followed him as he marched to the room where we were staying and closed the door behind me. He angrily threw the blade against the wall on the other side of the room, but I watched as he started to pace the room angrily.
"They are all such assholes," he growled as he let out his anger threw his scent. I gulped but let him continue. "I just want to fucking leave, and they won't fucking let us just because that old man wants us to be a part of his little family," he growled as he angrily threw a couple of things around the room. Fearfully I bowed my head in agreement, not wanting to anger him more. Ace continued on his rant as I calmly picked up after him. He finally calmed down after a while, approached me, and placed his arms around me. I just stood firm and allowed him to do it. For some reason, whenever he did, he always felt calmer, especially if I copied what he did, placed my arms around him, and patted his back.
After a while, I felt his Aura calm down below average, meaning he had fallen asleep. I gently placed him on the bed and covered him before turning to start cleaning the room. As I cleaned the room, I ensured nothing was out of place or dust. I began to drift through my thoughts as I thought about catching something for us to eat, but I quickly got rid of the idea, knowing that Ace had told me not to leave the room. He had ordered me never to leave the room unless I was with him or someone of the Spades if they ever came back because he was 'looking out' for my safety.
I wonder why...
