My head snapped when a man in torn clothes charged at me with his sword aiming at my chest. I dodge and trip him. He falls onto his stomach his sword sliding a few feet away from him. "I thought pirates are good at fighting." I bait. He looks over his shoulder malice covering his face. He gets up and pulls out a dagger from his waist. "If you couldn't kill me with your sword, how on earth are you going to kill me with a dagger?" I ask, looking around, a few of my army members are fighting with some more pathetic pirates. "You won't win." My pirate says grufly. I turn just in time as he swings his dagger at my through, but I watch as an arrow covered in shells hit his side. He freezes and turns to look at the shooter then collapses to the floor. The dagger falling next to him. I look even though I know it's Delja swimming in the water with a few of her mersisters. I give my wife a quick smile, then head to the dark tunnels.
Last night we decided to tie the nott, since it's almost time for the war. And we didn't want to miss anything... any moment could be our last. I follow the sounds of yells of helps. And there they are the prisoners. I hide in the shadows and spot the man who has all the keys. Standing a few feet away. As he pushes a few prisoners back in their cells I slowly move to grab him in a choke hold, until he passes out. I grab the keys from his waist and start to free every single one. I find Damiao and another guy, the guy tries to calm Damiao down. He's frantic. "He took her!" He says desperiatly when he sees me. I remove his cuffs and the other guy's cuffs. We all run to the torture room with a dead tree and Casimero standing there his back turned to us.
"I wondered when I would get to see you." Casimero says, still not looking at us his black coat and his black hat makes him almos look like a shadow. "Hand over the island or your sister dies." He says, and Maria with dark hair and eyes, comes into view holding Esme in a tight grip and a dagger to her throat. "Take it! But leave my sister." I say angrily. "Ainsley, no!" Esme says, terror in her voice. "Maria. Please!" Damiao pleads. "Mia... please, you don't have to do this." The other guy says. Maria sighs. "If I don't... someone will die." She whispers. "Let her go!" I growl at Casimero. He's chuckling at the scene. "I can only have the Island once you're truly gone." He says lowly, and all of a sudden a loud bang consumes the cave, and hard painful burn hits my stomach. I take a few steps back and suddenly I'm falling.
Falling.
Falling.
Esme screams consume my hearing.
Faliing.
Something hard and cold covers my entire body and my face as well.
I'm in water.
I try to swim to the surface, but my body lost all the strength and I drown to my death.
