Calypso's Rage ~ 19

Calypso's Rage

Nineteen

    When Sophia appeared on deck it was still morning but the crew had already left to continue playing around on solid land. She was dressed in the same things I had loaned her yesterday but it didn't look like she had slept in them.

    "How did you sleep Ms. Sophia." I asked offering my arm

    "Well, thank you for lending me your room, Mr. Caspian."

    I escorted her off the ship "That reminds me, I tend to keep my name quiet so it would be best if you don't call me Caspian in a big crowd."

    She nodded, "Of course Caspian has a reputation to uphold doesn't he."

    Surprised, I laughed startling her, "Sorry, your answer is correct I was just not expecting it. Please call me Cass as all of my friends do."

    She smiled happily, "Very well. Now where is this woman you need to meet."

    I lead Sophia up to Annice's house. Explaining who Annice was after she said that she barely knew anything about higher class people. I knocked on the door and once again the haughty man answered. He lead us up to a room where Annice was waiting. When we stepped into the room I saw that the men from last night as well as Estella and Kane were there.

    They continued with whatever they had been doing before I arrive until Estella asked, "Who's the girl?"

    Everyone turned to me. Kane and Annice looked shocked. The men were just surprised while Estella just took everything in stride.

    "Everyone this is Sophia. The two pirates over there are Captain Estella and Captain Kane. The woman over there is Lady Annice." I introduced

    Sophia curtseyed, "It is a pleasure to meet you, my name is Sophia."

    Annice stared at me bewildered before remembering her manners and saying "I am glad I could meet you but..." Annice stopped speaking not sure what to say

    Sophia straightened, "Cass rescued me and he said that you could help me."

    "Cass? Rescued?" Annice repeated as everyone turned to me

    I sighed, "Garrison has a tendency to collect souvenirs or trophies. Though they aren't normal in any sense. He likes to show off new ones to me to see me react."

    "And she was the newest trophy." Estella said

    Alexander looked at the girl shocked. Sophia's eyes hardened and she nodded bitterly. Annice swept up the girl and hugged her.

    "Oh you poor dear." Annice cooed, "And your so thin. That does it." Annice rang a bell and a maid appeared, "We're going to get you clean and fed."
