Jemi glared at Chesh. She didn't have anything to say and quite frankly didn't care. She was a prisoner until these pirates got their ransom. Of course, she didn't feel all that important and most people would probably love to kill her anyway. She sighed and shifted a bit. It looks like I'm gonna be here a while…
"In the cell. Take care of her. I have work to do!" Jake shouted over to Chesh then went back to yelling orders. Chesh gave the pirates holding Jemi a look and they nodded at her. They then began to lead Jemi down the stairs into the ship.
(Bump?)
(Sorryyy I lost this and I've been just blech)
Two men grabbed Jemi's shoulders and dragged her down to the cell. "I can walk by myself, thank you very much!" she snapped. They took her to a small cell under and pushed her in. "And no thank you?!" she called, her voice dripping in sarcasm, as they walked away.
(It's fine. Don't worry about it.)
Chesh leaned on the bars. "They don't care about sarcasm." Chesh said. Chesh studied the girl. She was kinda cute. Chesh shook her head. No. She shouldn't be thinking that. Jemi was a prisoner. Nothing more.
"Well you'd think as prisoner, I'd get more attention." she replied. Jemi looked at Chesh who was leaning on her cell. She sighed. What next…
"Why? We have much more duties to do." Chesh said. "You should know that, Captain."
"Well I haven't been captain very long." she rolled her eyes although in her mind, she knew that experience was something she lacked. "Besides, I could escape. You never know…"
"Sure. And what are you going to do? Escape and go where? We are quite far from land. Besides if Jake likes you we'll let you out soon." She said rolling her eyes.
Jemi looked Chesh into her eyes. "Well I'm a pretty good swimmer." And I can manipulate water too.
"Still a good swimmer is not going to help you against wave and sharks." Chesh pointed out.
Jemi laughed. What she doesn't know… "If you say so." For as long as she could remember, Jemi was able to manipulate water and had a connection with sea animals. It was no wonder she'd eventually make it as captain of her own vessel.
Chesh smirked. Another go luck Captain who thought they could fight off an entire ship of pirates. It didn't matter if they had magic. They would have to get through an entire crew. Chesh sighed. She floated up and sat on the ceiling.
Jemi watched as Chesh floated up. She herself had decided to not use her powers unless she needed to. She sat down and glared at Chesh who was still sitting on the ceiling. "So does everyone here have magic, or is it just a few of you?"
Chesh shrugged. "I know 8 of them have powers and I suspect 4 other have some but I'm not sure. There a few on the ship that don't. I know that." She explained.
(Bump?)
(I couldn't find this and my tabs all closed I'm so sorry!)
Well that's good to know then. Jemi thought. She knew it wasn't wise to try to escape, but she doubted she'd be let go anytime soon, so escape was her best option. Maybe not right away, but if they get closer to shore…
Chesh pushed some of her hair out from in front of her face. "How long had you been Captain?" Chesh asked. This might help them figure how much ransom they would get from her.
Jemi watched as Chesh moved her hair away from her face. Her face was actually very pretty and her purple eyes were more noticable. "Not long." Jemi replied, turning her face away from Chesh's. Her eyes were rather distracting. "A few months." she added.
Chesh sat there for a moment. If she hadn't been Captain for long then it was likely they weren't going to get as much from her. She looked Jemi over. Why was she so cute? Chesh looked away.
Jemi looked at Chesh. "Well? What now?" she asked, not really expecting an answer. She shifted to get more comfortable, but it was hard to get comfortable in a small cell in a moving ship at sea.
"We play the waiting game." She said. She watched Jemi shift in her cell. Chesh got up on the ceiling and left.
She watched Chesh leave and sighed loudly. She got up and walked around the restricted space. Most of the time, she could not keep still and being in a restricted space didn't help. She looked around at what she had. Not much Just her clothes. The captain, Jake, had taken away her weapons before they took her down.
Chesh walked back in, still on the ceiling, and gave Jemi a pillow and blanket. "You looked uncomfortable." She said.
"Wow, you're so observant." she replied sarcastically, taking the pillow and blanket. "It's not like this cramped space is getting to me at all." Jemi set up a small nest for herself. It was definitely…more comfortable… to say the least.
