Chapter Seven - Azula

He slams the door of the cabin behind us, and I look around curiously at what I assume to be his quarters on the ship. I make the assumption purely based on its location and size, not that I can see a bed anywhere in sight, thankfully. There's a large wooden table with a large, plush chair on the far side that could easily fit two of me in it. There are four simple wooden chairs lined up against the right side of the cabin, and a large red curtain covering the entire left side of the cabin. I step further into the room, glancing down curiously at the navigational charts on the table. I turn around, leaning my back against the table so I can face the captain who still stands by the door. He watches me curiously, but I have questions of my own.

“Why am I here and not having my blood sucked out?” I ask, breaking the silence.

“I couldn't let them drink from you; you should know what kind of difficulty that would cause,” he answers plainly. I frown, not understanding his meaning at all. “I can't have my crew craving a fix they will never find again. It's unbelievable enough to have come across you, let alone chance of finding others,” he adds, clearly reading my confusion, not that it clarifies anything for me. “I mean, I could just throw you into the sea, but I don’t want to risk them asking questions about why we can kill you, but not drink from you. I’ll need to come up with an excuse for why you must live, one that will be believable.”

“I don't understand. What are you talking about?” I wipe my hands on my dress, the sweat building on my palms getting to be too much.

He steps closer, and I regret putting the table at my back as I cannot get away with it trapping me in place. His blue eyes bore down into mine, and I know he is seeing more than just my eyes in return.

“You don't know what you are, do you?” he asks.

“What do you mean?”

“Gods, you really have no clue,” he whispers, disbelief lacing his voice.

“What don't I know?” I question him.

“What you are, but how could you not? Is it possible I am mistaken?” he muses aloud, then he leans down and inhales deep, smelling me. I lean as far back as I can, my back hitting the surface of the table. He notices my discomfort and pulls back taking a step away from me. “You are definitely what I believed you to be,” he announces, as I stand back up.

“Look, I've had a really terrible day; my father was murdered, I was kidnapped by pirates, kidnapped again by vampire pirates, and then watched my friend get sucked dry. So I would appreciate it if you would kindly get to the point, and tell me what the hell is going on!” I finally snap, his vagueness pissing me off.
