Harry Dixon was in the brig again, trying to figure out a plan to escape from this ship, in the last few months, he has tried to sneak the keys, and that didn't work, he got beaten for it, and the other time didn't work either. 

So he's trying to figure out another plan to escape, but it will be and is difficult since they always lock the door for sure.

He starts to pet Cheese the mouse, trying to figure it out.

 Step 1; find a way to get the keys and survive

And step 2; Get the hell out of here.

Then he heard footsteps, and saw it was Robert. 

"Get up, Boy. Captain wants ya." Snarled Robert. 

"Yes, sir." Said Harry, getting up.

He got up and the little mouse went back to his hole. They got to the Captain's quarters.

"Here's the boy, cap." Said Robert. 

The captain was the only person who Robert didn't snarl at. 

"Thanks, Robert." And Robert left just like that.

"Now, ye goin' to stay here and when we come back, ye gonna help the boy to bring the supplies aboard, ye got it?" said Captain Tobias, gripping the boy's cheeks. 

"Yes, Sir." Said Harry, and to his surprise, the captain smile. 

"that's a good lad." He said. 

Harry blink his eyes in surprise, this was the first time in ten years that the Captain has compliment him about something. 

He nods.

As they left, he sweeps the room again, he knows the second mate would take the keys after his last escape, and he wasn't in the mood to risk a beaten, especially with his backside healing nicely.

Soon they were back, and the Captain came into the quarters. 

"Go and help the rest of the boys with the supplies, boy." Said Captain Tobias.

"Yes, sir." He said and run to help with the supplies, which of course, wasn't easy since they kept pushing him around, but it was worth it.

They locked him in his brig and cheese came out, he lies down and fell asleep.

He was sweeping the deck the next day, humming softly as the pirates were trying to get the sails ready, then he tense as one let go by mistake, he knew what was coming.

"Boy!! Get here!" snarled Robert, grabbing a whip. 

Harry put down the broomstick and went to Robert. 

"Get ye shirt off, boy." Snarled Robert. He did as told and turn his horrid scarred back to him and they start to whip him one by one, he couldn't help but whimper in pain as Robert touches his bleeding backside. 

Then kept whipping him until he blackens out.

When he came to, to his surprise, he was in the Captain's quarters on the Captain's bed. 

"ye feelin' better, boy?" asked Captain Tobias. 

"Yes, sir." He said, nodding. "Good, lad. Ye stay in here to recover, all right?" 

"yes, sir." Said Harry. 

The captain nod and left.

The next day, he got up and sweeps the floors. The pirates were excited about something again. 

So he stayed put.

But when they came back, the pirates were not alone; they had a beautiful girl in a white night grown with them.....
