I boarded the ship not long after, the captain leading me to my room. I was on one of our best ships, she was in the first modern ships we made together with the country we made a peace contract. The ship was called Blue Archer, which I would like to think was named after me because I have blue eyes and I am excellent in archery. The room I was seated in was spacious, it had a big bed who looked just as comfy as at the palace. And there was the usual stuff - table with maps, books, telescope etrecentra. It looked quite nice. I thanked the captain and ran to the bed, jumping on it and enjoying the sun rays touching my face. And then I fell asleep.

I was awoken by shouting and sounds of fight, cannons firing and swords clashing. I was confused as to what was happening before the color drained from my face as I figured it out. Bandits or pirates. It could hadbe any one of them. I doubted it was an enemy because they were not close to the seas we were sailing. And yes, there is a difference between bandits and pirates. I pulled my sword out, removing the cape I still had and hurrying out. Luckily, my doors were not locked, so I easily slipped out of the room. I followed the sound of fight, coming on the deck and immediately charging at the closest guy. We fought, he was almost out of breath so I had quickly stabbed him in the stomach before I went for the next. I did not stop to see the damage because I knew I would not be concentrated enough for a fight if I knew what had happened because of me. This is not the usual route, we were going there because of me. I was to blame for the death of these people.

We were fighting well, and just as I thought we were at the end, more bandits came at us. It was a massacre. Everywhere were laying dead people, some not even older than me at seventeen. I was caught up in a moment and, with me not being good at sword fighting, the guy managed to knock the sword out of my hands and sent it flying at the centre of the ship. I looked back at him, he had his sharp sword against my neck. “Well, well, well. Aren't ya a pret'y boy?” his breath was disgusting, smelling of cheap rum and cigars. “Ya are going with me, we're going to have some fun before I sell you.”

He grabbed my arms, I tried to make him let go, but I was too weak against his bulky body. He pulled me towards his boat, the black flag with money high in the air. They were the Sellers. The Sellers were known for robbing ships, hunting mermaids and other creatures, kidnapping mostly women and children and selling all of them at the illegal auctions. Majority ends up as slaves, regular and sexual. If you have gotten lucky, you will get paid. But these buyers are nothing but incompet, selfish bastards. They disguise me. When I first learned about them in my class, I threw up. The teacher did not elaborate on them because of that. They usually hunt close to the shore, except in the summer when it's the mermaids season. I could only imagine how they must have felt - that is, until now.

I heard someone calling my name, I tried to look back to shout for help, but before I could do that, the rug was placed in my mouth and arms tied up. The rug tasted like sweat, dirt, blood and smelled awful. I prayed it was not used on some else. I was thrown on the ground, just then figuring out we had passed the plank between ships. I locked eyes with therefied captain, who was trying to get to me. I shook my head, telling him with my movement to stop, that it was useless - seeing as the Sellers already prepared for retrait. Rough hands grabbed me and pushed me upstairs, to the captain standing beside the wheel. The ship was surprisingly fast, and after a few minutes I could not see my ship, but I assumed we would see the shore soon. I was surprised they did not sink the ship like they usually do, but I did not question it. Besides, I might have a small flicker of hope they would come for me right away. But now, away from my people, I had given myself permission to feel scared. No, I was petrified. The Sellers were celebrating their undertaking, but the captain was looking at me. That guy who took me came back, smirking at me and taking my shirt collar in his hands. He harshly pushed me against a wooden column - the one which had a flag on it - and pressed himself against me. It was disgusting, but I did not know what to do as he started… sniffing me? And then he went to kiss my neck but the captain pulled him off.

“It may be you who brought him, but I will take him. Snoop, watch the rudder! I'm going to hang out with our new friend here,” he smirked at me, alerting me he meant no good. He, too, roughly grabbed me and led me to his chambers. The room was not bigger than mine, but it was darker. I did not get a good look around as the guy threw me on the bed. He took off his shirt, climbing on top of me. “You sure are pretty. We don't have lads like you where we're from. You'll sell good. many money.” Before he could touch me, someone yelled that we were close to land. The guy grunted, going off me and leaving me thanking the Forces he did not do anything. It was not long after he came for me, dragging me on the open and off the boat, not before he blindfolded me. I heard several pairs of footsteps following after us, probably his inner circles.

The captain had a hold of me on the left side, and I think his second hand - the guy he told to take over the wheel - Snoop held me on my right side, with some respect this time. Despite the fact that it was daytime, there were not a lot of people. The streets were quiet, you could hear animals and the sea making noises. We walked for about ten minutes before I heard a crew member talking to someone to let us inside to the auction. The sound of door creaking as they were opened made me tense. What will they do to me?
