Treasure

Colt---

Colt looked at Amber, then Tim, and Velna. He could always stay and watch over them.

"Whose the trouble? Just him?" He asked jabbing his thumb to Tim. Velna nodded crossing her arms and grabbing a mop. SHe didn't care if she was a hostage, she got fed at least. "I'll work with him. Finish this up." He grabbed Tim by the arm and pulled him out of the room. "You are going to swab the deck."

Amber buried her face in her arm and peeked out of the breaks in her fingers for a moment, watching Colt drag Tim away. Thank goodness, at least Velna was sane.

"Velna?" Velna popper her head up from mopping. "Thank you for.. Tim, and such."

Velna---

Velna shrugged. "If I want to keep eating I know I have to behave." She said as she mopped more.

Amber nodded, dropping onto a nearby bed. "How exactly, Velna, did you get captured?"

Velna----

Velna thought about the capture. Her father had sent her on another ship back home where her mother's mother was dying. "The ship I was on was attacked. While they were going through the supplies they found me." She said.

Amber nodded, looking away. "My village was raided while I was at the pub, staying with my friends. They wanted my father to pay a ransom, but he never did." Her gaze shifted back up, resting on Velna's eyes. "Colt is a nice boy. I'm sure he doesn't think of you as a hostage - more simply as a member of the crew." She breathed deeply. "Most ransoms... never get paid. Yours is never going to get paid... is it?"

Velna looked into her eyes, her hair creating a shield around her face as she hung her head. "I'm going to see if they need me on the deck." Amber stated, dismissing the subject with that quick statement. She sprung up from the bed she was seated on and snatched the knob of the door, flinging it open and rushing out to the deck. Velna watched the door close, the sound of a rickety creak flooding the small room.

Velna----

Velna sighed, her dad probably thought she was dead. Long sense dead. She kept that to herself though. She looked around the room and finished her work humming in her head.


Colt----

Colt spun around when he felt Amber almost run into him. "She giving you any trouble?" He asked.

"No." Amber replied.

"What's the hurry then?"

(uhh, just a random question . . . where's Tim right now? I dunno so I'll just make up soemthing okay?"

Tim

Tim grumbled to her self thinking about the harsh words she was going to get from the bossy guy, she thought to herself, Well, he is kinda . . okay looking . . .

Her eyes widened in surprise, usually she didn't think of guys as anything other than friends or people to steal . . barter with.

She shook her head, No, nonsense now Tim , just because you look like a guy doesn't mean that you have to like guys

SHe thgouht about her own thought then . . . it didn't really make any sense. SHe wallowed on the floor for a second and decided that she wouldn't mop the deck, just to see if the bossy guy could get angry.

She laid down on the floor and fell asleep.

(Tim is a really sleepy gu . . . girl.)

Chris

Chris stepped past Colt as he left the cabin, having waited outside for the captain's son to deal with the problem before any kind of punishment was needed. Colt nodded to him, "Amber's gonna keep going with two of the hostages, they were fine. It was Tim who acted up - I've told him to swab the decks."

He nodded and turned to go, when Amber burst out of the cabin and went running after Colt. Chris frowned, then caught Colt's attention for a moment and gestured that he'd go in and check on things. He stepped inside to see the two girls going about their work as expected while Tim appeared to be sleeping. How could any one person be so difficult?

His eyes fell on one of the other hostages for a moment - Velna, he thought her name was. For some reason, he hesitated, not wanting to come across to her in the way he did to the crew. What are you thinking? You're not meant to consider any of the crew - least of all a hostage in that way. You do your job, and you get it done efficiently. He gritted his teeth, hesitating for another moment before giving Tim a kick in the side, "Get up boy. Colt gives you an order, you carry it out. Otherwise you answer to me - and trust me, you don't want that."

***Billy, Tim's out on the deck with Colt. Velna and the other girl are in the room. And Amber was going somewhere when she ran into Colt***

After rushing at of the cabin Amer ran smack right into Colt. Colt blinked as he heard a thud as Amber dropped onto the deck, rubbing her head. She groaned, getting up off the deck. "Sorry." she mumbled.

Colt stared after her as Amber strode towards another cabin. As she did so Tim caught her eye, harsh envy splashing into her eyes. Amer turned her head swiftly, attempting to avoid the glare. Her palm reached the door knob, the sweat trickling off her hands. "Amber?" Amber had just managed to get the door open.

"Yes?"

**That can be anybody**

Colt----

"You can;t leave the other two hostages by themselves." He smiled walking back over to her. "If you need to get something I'll have someone else watch them. But you are supposed to be watching them." He said smiling sternly.

**sorry.**

Amber sighed, turning around. "It's just Velna in the room, and it isn't like she's going to be causing any trouble." Colt folded his arms and opened his mouth to speak. "Let me ask you something Colt: How come I have more freedom than Velna and Tim?"

Colt----

"Because last time I checked you weren't a hostage or slave." He replied with a slight smile. "Now, I know Velna, if that's her name, will cause any trouble or not. But I rather it be not. I'm going to keep him with me until I know he isn't going to hurt anyone, but until then Velna's in your control, along with the slave girl unless told otherwise."
