The Legend of Atlantis

Odessa pulled him into a tight hug and whispered into his ear. "I have always loved you, Orca... and I love you now still." she hugged him tighter.

Derak shoved Maple away. " Nows not the time to hug damnit! I need you to sail us out of this storm! Get on it damnit! " Ordered Derak, his normally cocky and sarcastic attitude now gone.

o.o "Yes captain!" She rushed off to the tasks he had assigned, trying to figure out if his tough side had shocked her enough to turn her on or scare her to pieces.

Orca sighed with relief and pulled Odessa back a little to kiss her again, putting his forehead to hers and smiling. "I was afraid I was the only one who still felt that way. I love you too Odessa..." His ears flopped a little and he lengthened them to create a makeshift umbrella over their heads as they shared this moment.

Odessa kissed him once more and pulled away. "This will be torture to me in the end, Orca. I don't want to lose you."

"I swear you wont..." Orca knew she wouldnt believe him, but he wanted her to so badly, he wanted himself to believe it. I knew he wouldnt change just because he got his sister back... sure, he'd be very over protective of Ayna, for all he knew she was still the same age as before.

Odessa turned to the sea. "You don't understand, Orca." she dropped her head in frustration. She toughened to her captain stance once more and raised her head in a professional manner.

"No more of this stony captain's speech." Orca spun her around into another kiss and looked into her eyes. "I think it's time you told me what will happen."

Odessa pulled away from him roughly and looked him in the eyes. "I don't know exactly. I've never done this. I just don't want to risk my feelings on you. This could all be for nothing! This whole... night!"

Derak held on to the side of the ship until they were finally free of the storm. " Well....that was quite unpleasent...."

Maple walked over and wrapped her arms around his waist. "Aye it was... but I'm really glad you're okay... you know that right?"

Derak sighed. " Yeah I know. And I guess I owe you my life back there. How can I make it up to you? " asked Derak, trying to be nicer then usual

Orca stroked Odessa's cheek and blushed a little. "Or it could mean something bigger, we should get inside... we're getting soaked, come into my cabin... we can talk... and do more of this, inside."

"Oh I could think of a few things Derak." Maple giggled a little as she kissed his cheek. "I'm not gonna say it didnt get me... interested, feeling so scared from your commands."

Derak raised an eyebrow. " Oh? So I scare you do I? "

"In a good way!" Maple clarified, not wanting to make Derak feel weird. "It... I felt controlled, I could never be a captain simply because I like that feeling a little too much." She blushed a little and kissed him again.

Derak smiled and kissed Maple back gently. " Well, ill try to boss you around alittle more often if you like? Perhapes make you mop the deck or entertain me by doing a dance? Would that make you feel better? " joked Derak

"Alright," Maple smiled a little and leaned forward to whisper. "What kind of dance are you looking for? I know a lot..."

Derak smiled. " Oh...im sure you can surprise me..." whispered Derak

"Just say when." Maple smiled a little and kissed Derak again. "We're back on course, any orders captain?"

Derak thought about it for a moment then looked towards a crew member. " You there, take the helm. When we catch up with the others let me know..." order Derak before turning to Maple. " As for you, we need to talk...now! " growled Derak as he ordered

Maple blushed a little and nodded. "Yes captain, do you wish to talk here or elsewhere?"

" How about the cabin...." said Derak as he led Maple there.

Maple giggled a little and nodded. "Yes captain, right away."

Derak entered his cabin and layed on his bed. " Now....what was this dance you were going to show me? "
