Thread: Relentless (Reno x Lila Lupin)

Avery ran aboard the Domina and quickly ordered them to draw the gangplank, weigh anchor, and get them the hell away from this bloody island as quickly as they possibly could. The crew was slightly shocked at her haste but they did as ordered. The ship had already been prepared to leave so it all that was left was weigh anchor and they had already gone about that as soon as she set foot onboard the vessel. Look alive men! She shouted as she made her way towards the helm. We're headed for Tafton. The crew let out a cheer in response. Tafton was one of the few openly pirate friendly ports left in the world. Sadly we won't be able to enjoy ourselves. I'm following a lead on some interesting treasure that I'd heard rumors of today and we need to get there as quickly as possible. She said causing the crew to cheer once more. We can't dock in port though. We have to keep the Domina hidden. She added. The crew eyed her. The only reason she'd give that order is if they were hiding from someone. A loud sigh came from the deck and the other crew members turned to see Andre, first mate and perhaps oldest member of the crew entirely. What did you do Avery? He asked in a tone that sounded much like that of a father reprimanding his child. Andre was older than he appeared. He only looked to be in his thirties, but he was perhaps almost twice that. Avery bowed her head as she sheepishly looked down at the ground. I may or may not have unintentionally made an enemy out of the entire crew.... Everyone stared at her. The curiosity was almost tangible as they waited to know just who she made an enemy out of. The Wraith . She said as she looked back up to Andre with a sheepish grin on her face. YOU DID WHAAAAAAAAT!!!!!!!!! Andre bellowed causing some of the other crew members to jump or jerk back a bit. Yeeeeeeaaaah, I'll tell you all about it as soon as we get the hell away from this island, cause I'm pretty sure he's gonna disobey his orders for shore leave. She said. The crew jumped to get the ship back out onto the open seas. As soon as they were safely away from Recien's bay she explained everything to Andre from what she'd heard from the two whores, to her encounter with Peter, and including the note that she'd left him. The note in question that Peter still clutched in his hand smelled of Avery. The sweet scent of her perfume, one that Peter was most likely all too familiar with, permeated the page. She'd known what she was doing when left Peter the message the way she had. He was like a dog with a bone when it came to her, a trait that she'd always been quite fond of. He didn't give up easily, regardless of how many times he'd been beaten. The note in question was a relatively simple one, and the words that littered the page in Avery' surprisingly elegant handwriting were as follows Dear Peter, I'm sure you all but hate me for earlier today. I do apologize for what happened. I honestly thought you were going to catch me that time. I almost thought about surrendering but then that idiot made one of the biggest mistakes I'm sure he's ever made. Though I'm sure you don't want to hear about what I almost did now do you? No after what I'm about to do I'm certain that you'll want to know where I'm going. You and I both know I can't just tell you. That would be to easy. So I'm going to give you a hint. I'm heading to place where the chase began. Speaking of this little game we have going on. I want to make you a wager. See I've heard some news recently about a supposed treasure that's up for grabs but only to those who can find it, and that's what I plan on doing. Now I know you aren't all that interested in my kind of treasure, but I do know something else that you want. ME. So if you can find me, and manage to keep hold of me, before I manage to find that treasure, I'll give up. So whatever you want....Even let you take me to the gallows. I'm sure you don't believe me, and even if you did are wondering why I'd do a thing like that. Well I'll just have to tell you once you catch me, Love. I am sorry for the uniform, and for having hurt you. I'm sure you don't believe it anymore but I do love you. So until we meet again. All my love, Avery P.S. I'm sure you've quite forgotten it now but please take this coin as a bit of an apology for earlier, and try not to let yourself get too angry. We wouldn't want you doing anything to embarrass the navy over little old me.
