Scarlett

"I want to go home." Vladamir tilted his head slightly to the right not taking his gaze of me. "Do i have to repeat myself." His voice was so commanding it even had me frozen on the spot. "The blonde man said i could go home ." This time i turned my head to glare at the blonde guy who was completely avoiding my gaze.  

"The Blonde man is called Sebastian, the other ones Flinch, and the man you just healed is Artemis." Did i honestly just say "the blonde man," out loud. "Follow me we have a few matters to discuss." Was this man out of his mind, I'm kidnapped by complete strangers (who i helped), and now they're refusing to let me go, and he expects me to just follow him like a lost puppy. "No!" Maybe it was fear or adrenaline but where ever this courage was coming from i was just glad i had it.

Every other noise around me just shut off  as Vladamir continued to penetrate into my soul. Not one reaction out of him, his face continued to stare back at me with a blank expression. My heart beat slowly continued to increase in pace, his blank expressions were starting to scare me a little more, than if he had reacted. 

He tore his gaze away from me to look behind me, "Sebastian i don't have all day make it quick." Make it quick? Make what quick. A sharp pain scratched my neck causing me to gasp in pain before my eyes slowly started to close in to unconsciousness.

----------------------------------

My neck was soar and there was a throbbing pain in my head, but unlike last time i knew exactly what was going on, they must have knocked me out again. My eyes were still closed but i tried moving my hands, they were tied up to the chair i was sitting on, and my ankles were tied up to the leg of the chair. I slowly opened my eyes to observe my hands and legs, i twisted my hands to try untie myself, i pulled and kicked and even tried to jump on my seat a couple of times. 

"That knots not going to come undone no matter how much you tug and pull." I ignored the annoying man in front of me and continued to tug and pull, just to prove a point. After a good five minutes, the very little energy i had was gone, and bowed my head in defeat, Vladamir had the slightest smug look plastered on his face, "don't look so triumphant i'm only taking a break until i regain my energy." He replied by giving me a tiny stupid smirk, that was probably the only expression i've seen on his face ever. "Why can't you just let me go." I sighed in defeat

"I told you i can't to that,"

"and why the hell not!" I think this is the most angry i've gotten in my seventeen years of existence. "Because you play a small, but very important part in my big quest."

"And what exactly is this oh so big quest of yours?" The ends of his mouth curved into a devious smirk (which may or may not have made my heart skip a beat). "I want Java." The whole world went dead silent for a good ten seconds, before i burst into fits of laughter. Vladamir may have been a ruthless killer but he sure knew when to crack jokes, a few more giggles escaped my lips before i stared back at a dead serious Vladamir. I'm stuck on a pirate ship in the middle of nowhere with a ruthless killer who also happens to be crazy. Java was a small isolated island on the very far east which i believe is ruled by a man named Julius.  

"So your plan is just to walk into Java and take over from there?"

"Yes that's the plan." Sometimes i feel like there is no point in arguing with crazy people, so i did the next best thing which was just play along.  "And where exactly do i come into this big equation." 

"Me and my men, we're wanted criminals, we have the government and bounty hunters coming after us all the time, i don't want my men to be half dead by the time we get to Java."

"Why don't you go ask a normal doctor like a normal person." He tilted his head at me almost mocking me. "Because my dear Scarlett, normal doctors can't heal black heart in a matter of seconds, and by the time they have healed them (if they even do), we'll have already reached Java." I guess he did have a point but that still doesn't mean that i want to be here.

"A normal doctor won't be able to survive the work load i put on them, that's why i don't want a normal doctor Scarlett, I want a Pandora."

Pandora was my family name (Scarlett Grace Pandora), for centuries my family have been wielding magic. We were split into two groups depending on which gift we were born with, the healers or the elements (who were able to control either fire,water, earth, or air).

"So what do you say Scar?" I hate to admit that him leaning against his desk with his arms crossed standing there in all his glory almost, made me say yes. But i'm not crazy enough to work for a criminal. "I'm a hard woman to please Vlad." I thought i'd also call him by a nickname as well seeing that he thought it was perfectly OK. Both corners of his lips turned into a full grin from ear to ear, his grey eyes sparkling with amusement, just when i thought his beauty had reached its limits. 

"I may not be an angel but i do pay those who work for me, and if you're worried about getting back home, we're stopping at an island very close to Java, for extra supplies, my men will take you back home safely from there."

"That's very lovely of you but again i'm not interested, in gold or silver."                                                       "Who said i was talking about gold?" My face must have read utter confusion because he answered his own question. "One mans trash is another mans treasure." He proceeded to pull of a chain from under his shirt.

Attached to the chain was the most beautiful sapphire stone, that was somehow emitting a light of its own, and engraved on the sapphire was a beautiful black dragon in all its glory spreading its wings and spitting fire, as if it were alive. I would notice that engraving anywhere because it was the very dragon engraved on the back of my neck. 

The pandora family were born with this very dragon carved somewhere on to their body. This was my first time seeing the stone but i had no doubt, what it was; one of the twelve stones that were given to the pandoras by the dragons themselves (back when they were alive). Three of them were stolen: pearl, amethyst, and sapphire. Greedy men sought out the stones claiming they possessed some kind of power, honestly we don't know if they do and quit frankly we don't care, these stones were our most priced and valuable possession.

"Where did you get that." I never took my eyes off the sapphire stone. "It dosn't matter were i got it from, do you want it or not." 

"Yes." I didn't even hesitate. Vladamirs face was again blank, but i quickly spotted a glint in his eyes. "I'll give it to you if you become our ship doctor until we reach Java." I don't think i had another option in this matter. 

"Deal."
