First of, I really don't know why wattpad places the image above sideways. I guess this app just hates me sometimes. Anyways on to the story!

I sat in a dark corner, hiding from the crew. I had successfully sneaked onto a cargo ship that was supposed to go from america to england and afterwards to europe. I didn´t care where it was supposed to go as long as I was going with it. I didn´t have an easy life, my parents were homeless and died in a street fight, leaving me alone at the age of eight. Now I was twenty three and decided to take my faith into my own hands and snuck onto the next best ship I found. Now we were at sea the third day and except for the kitchen boy noone noticed me. He promised to not tell anybody and brought me food today morning. He also promised to sneak me some more food when he can.

I just hoped noone would find me until we arrived in england. Sometimes some men were really close to finding me but I could hide in the shadows. My only friends here were rats, fighting with me over my food I got. But I didn´t care, I just wanted to start my life in a new surrounding and maybe I would finally be happy. With that vision in my head I drifted to sleep, lulled under by the rhytmic swaying of the ship. I just woke up because of the sudden screams of the crewmembers a level higher than me. I confused I tried to make out something that caused the screaming but could only hear heavy footsteps. A lot of them.

I peaked over a few of the wooden boxes that were stocked in the storage room I hid in, making out a pair of shoes coming down the stairs. I hurriedly hid in my corner again, because those shoes didn´t belong to crew members. No one of them would wear those heavy boots and that could only mean one thing: the ship was attacked by another one and they probably aren´t here to be friends. "Now lets see if there is anything down here that the Captain would like!", one of them said with his raspy voice making me shudder slightly. If they find me I can´t and don´t want to imagine what they would do to me. The best outcome would be they kill me at sight.

But I guessed that would be the least likely. "I doubt there will be anything worth taking with us! We probably should just send it to the ground of the ocean.", the other one answered making me beg internally that they would leave that ship where it is and leave with their own. "Not so fast, lets open some of those boxes and see whats in there. Maybe there is atleast a little rum in some of them." I could hear them open the heavy boxes and search through them, pressing myself harder against the wall to hide in the shadows a little more just in case.

They opened nearly every box and I hoped that they wouldn´t open the ones next to me and just leave. "Come on lets go, there isn´t anything interesting here. The Captain wants to leave.", the one said and I almost sighed in relief. "But there is only one box left! Lets open it and then go.", the other one said, making me panic as I heard footsteps coming towards me. I pressed my back to the wooden box hoping that they would be too occupied looking at the contents of the box to notice me. I heard them working on the lid of it, letting it fall to the ground beside me, making me jump slightly.

Then one of them laughed loudly. "I knew there would be some good stuff! Look at all that rum. Thats going to be a big party later!", he said excited and the other just sighed. "Alright, lets get a few of the others to take that up and on our ship.", he said and took a few steps away from the box. I held my breath as his footsteps stopped and there was complete silence. I knew they hadn´t left but I didn´t knew what they were doing right now. Thats until one of them walked around the box and stood in front of me, pointing his sword at me while the other leaned over the box, looking down at me. "Wll look what we have here...", the one pointing the sword at me said, smiling at me wickedly. "Thats even better than the rum!", the other joined and I began to quiver in fear.

"Please...", I whimpered slightly, holding up my shaking hands in defence. "Oh sweetheart, don´t be afraid. We´re going to have so much fun together! And the Captain will be really happy to see you!", the sword guy said and I shivered with disgust. "Please....just kill me!", I begged and they both laughed. "Where would be the fun in that?", the one leaning over the box asked as the other put away his sword, grabbing one of my arms and pulling me up from the ground. "Come on, grab some of the bottles and lets get back to our ship before the Captain begins firing at this one.", the one holding me said, grabbing my other arm and held both behind my back, pushing me in front of him.
