Not Evil, Just Hurt

Chapter 5- Raven's P.O.V

She hugs me and I wrap my arm around her waist puller her closer, pulling away she looks at my face or more specifically my scars, she grabs my face examining them running her fingertips over every single one.

"How are you alive, Raven?" Elira questions. Turning to her I say "when the pirates invaded the castle, I was sent out the north wing of the castle in a boat and I escaped thanks to my parents". "Why are you doing this?" Going around raiding kingdoms, why do what happened to your kingdom to others?" Octavia asks.

"Originally I joined the pirates to learn their secrets, wanting to destroy them from within till they were merely nothing" I start to explain walking to what now was my family, my crew, wrapping my arm around my second in command Eros's shoulder.

"What I didn't expect was to be greeted with the warm smiles they shared with me and the encouraging words they said when I'd fail at my evil schemes as you'd say," I say looking up at my family and then back at the king, and queen. "you have no idea they way they'd support you more than anything in your life, and I soon learned they didn't necessarily want to kill my parents but that they were ordered to in exchange for a new ship and supplies to survive" I state walking around looking at all the royals who I was once like, who my parents were.

"The truly fucked up thing is they were ordered from a royal, a royal who was supposedly my family's friend, and those same "friends" are here as we speak" I explain looking back at the Nixon family, my old friends.

"Who was the family to betray your mother and father?" Elira questions curious, "Why don't you ask the Barclay family," I say disgusted looking at the supposed old friend of mine Louis, Prince Louis.

Carver and Elira look to Darya and Francis Barclay, "Is this true Darya, Francis?" Carver asks. The Barclays all look at each other before Francis answers, "You can't blame us, Carver, I mean the Blacks had too much for their own good and to share it, wasting it on poor peasants, please they got what they deserved" He says smirking, and with that, I run up and give him nice right hook before being pulled back by Carver and his guards.

I pull trying to reach him to knock his ass out, "Let go of me, let go, I'll kill him, just like he killed my parents, please" I plead looking Carver in the eyes finally realizing tears are falling from my face. "Please" I beg Carver, he frowns before saying "I can't let you do that Raven, not right now at least" he looks back at Francis who looks like he shit himself with just that sentence from Carver's mouth.

I smirk looking a Francis before being let go by the guards. "you're letting her go? After she just tried to kill me and she's a pirate for god sake, lock her up!" Francis says frightened and angry, Estella walks up to him before pulling him by the collar of his shirt shocking the whole room, my eyes widen followed by a smirk making its way to my face, "she is not evil you son of a bitch!, so you watch your damn mouth before I kill you myself" she says pissed, terrifying Francis. "You won't be doing anything Estella now get your hands off my father now," Louis says walking up to her, scoffing Estella says "And if I don't? What will you do Louis?" She questions stepping toward him, I see Louis reach his hand up but I step in front of her and grab his hand bending his wrist and making him fall to his knees, kneeling in front of Estella.

"Apologize," I say dangerously low looking at him, he looks up, "Now!, apologize to her before I break your fucking arm!" I warn him raising my voice extremely angry that he even thought about hitting her, let alone attempted. He looks at her and then at me, "You wouldn't break my arm just because I was gonna hit her, she's not worth it" he says smugly, I look down at him smirking before twisting his arm, breaking it. He lets out a blood-curdling scream grabbing his arm, looking back at me, he yells "You just broke my fucking arm, you psychopath!!", kneeling to him, I look him dead in the eyes, "Oh you have no idea" I say calmly, "and she is worth it, you fucking dickhead, now I suggest you apologize before I break something else, permanently" I warn him standing up.

He looks at Estella and then at me before saying "I'm sorry Estella", he looks at me, and I narrow my eyes at him, "For? What are you sorry for?"I question crossing my arms over my chest. He looks back at Estella, "I'm sorry for raising my hand to hit you" he apologizes, Estella looks at me, to which I nod my head.

"Good," Estella says, "good?" Darya says unsatisfied, that's all my son gets after apologizing to you for nothing, for something you deserve" She scoffs, and she walks towards Estella but before she gets too close I pull Estella behind me blocking Darya.
