“You may have stayed with her but that was after you went off chasing Rhea.” Adam countered. “You may have told her to stay here but I doubt in her upset and drunk state she remembered that. She felt cast to the side. One minute you were fawning over her next you were chasing someone who has rejected you many a time before. Rhea is jealous of her.” He sighed and pinched his nose. “She’s not like the normal girls that fall for you. You are probably the first pirate she has ever encountered. She probably doesn’t realize you aren’t like normal men.” His anger was slowly fading. “I don’t know how to help you with her, just keep her from the dark. Like it was said last night, we all drink to forget something. Bedlam is what she wants and needs to forget. This is a different way of life for her.” He sat her down on the couch. “This is the worst I’ve seen. She should slowly get back to normal once she realizes that she is safe.” He got a wet rag and placed it on her forehead. He sighed. “I don’t know how to help you with her.” He stood and faced his captain. “Perhaps you should get rid of her. She has caused quite the disturbance on the ship. I’ll go back to giving the men coffee to sober them up. She should be better in a few minutes. When she is, I’d have a long talk with her.” He shut the door behind him.

Elissa continued muttering to herself for a little while longer before slowly opening her eyes. “I don’t like the dark.” She said softly. She didn’t really realize she’d caused a fuss. It had all been a nightmare to her. “Did you bring me back here?” She asked, seeing only Joseph in the room.
