"Sanguinum Kolasi!" You swore loudly, slamming your cards onto the table. You had one the first couple rounds with the two men, who you had learned were called Alfred and Allistor, "And the Hero, takes it all" gloated a cheerful Alfred, you had been dominating the game at the begin you soon had a bit of struggle against Allistor, then Alfred managed to trick both of you which caused you to lose quite abit of gold.

You sighed taking your remaining gold, and stood up, "Where are ye going?" Allistor asked "You two have run me dry, and I don't fancy wasting all of my hard earned money" you told them "Oh come on mate, one more game" Alfred pouted like a child, which caused to laugh slightly, "C'mon Bonnie lass, one more game" Allistor begged, stubbing out his cigar.

"No" you said sternly "It's been fun" you said and left the pub, you began to walk down the streets, all was quite and peaceful. The sky was a light silver colour indicating it must be the early hours of the morning, you looked at the star filled sky, and gave a content sigh, you had pocketed a small amount of gold, had a nice drink and played some decent cards with some nice company. It had been a very good night.

A loud bang sounded, and the house in front of you practically exploding as shards of splintered wood flew everywhere. You were knocked to ground as the house collapsed trapping you under some planks; a loud ringing resided in your ears, your vision blurred. You groaned all you could see was fire, smoke and...... Pirates.

They were swarming the town, breaking into houses, killing people, kidnapping woman and children, you groaned with the effort to shift plank of you but when you did you staggered to your feet.

Smoke clouded the air like a thick blanket as you coughed your way to your home, you lifted up two floorboards one containing you small stash of loot, the other a sword. As you sheathed your sword a loud bang and creaking noise was heard as the building leaned forward and collapsed. You let out a shriek as you fell, head over heels until you were back onto the street.

You looked at the remains of what was your home 'Son of bitch' you thought as you side stepped the hordes of running people, the metallic scent of blood was so strong it made you gag. Not that you weren't used to scent. Someone ran headlong into you  knocking himself and you to the ground. You shoved said person off you, and was about to continue to get the hell out of the town until you saw the military styled uniform, he was a guard.

As he staggered to his feet, you both made eye contact you recognised him immediately. He was one of the Kings generals. He obviously knew who you were, he drew his sword and swiped as you blocked. "Haven't you got more pressing matters to attend to" you said wondering why he wasting time with you when their were pirates raiding the town. "I'll deal with them later, but if I bring you in, I'll never have to work again" he shouted the last part and tried to slash at you.

The fight lasted a good couple of minutes, until you saw an opening and stabbed him in the stomach, he doubled over in pain, before harshly pulling your sword out of him, which he then fell to his knees and then slashing his neck. You felt something press against the back of your head you turned around slowly, to see a man, with a red coat with gold trims, brown trousers and boots, a white shirt and a black tricorn hat with gold trims and a white plume.

"Hello, love" he purred his voice laced with a very thick British accent. You couldn't see his features since his hat and the smoke obscured them. He would of sounded rather attractive if he wasn't pointing a pistol at your head. "You've stolen something from me" he stated rather coldly, you were confused to say the least you had never met this man. "I can assure you I haven't, I remember who I steal from and your defiantly not one of them" you explained "But then again it's kind of hard to recall with a gun in my face" you spat.

He chuckled "I like my woman feisty" he said but then regained his cold demeanour "You haven't stolen anything from me, you stole my kill" he said gesturing to the man you had just killed. "Not my fault you couldn't get to
him fast enough, besides he attacked me" you explained. He didn't like your response and growled "He betrayed me, he was my kill by right" he shouted, but then the corners of his lips turned up slightly "Since you killed him, how about I kill you instead to compensate" he smirked, you grabbed his hand and the gun fired, bullets brushing past your ears. You twisted his wrist he let out a sharp cry of pain and dropped the gun were you quickly picked it up and pointed it at him.

"Any last words" you spoke confidently, he only chuckled and said "Pirates don't play fair" you were confused until you felt something cover your mouth you yelled against it, thrashing around trying to get out of your captors hold. It was cloth but it smelled funny, your eyes felt heavy and your body become limp.

The last thing you saw, was the mans smile.
