Everything was frozen in time, all you could hear was the beating of your heart and your breath. What do you do? What an you do? What will happen to you? All the questions stopped when a hand landed on your shoulder, you snapped out of your thoughts and instantly shoved whoever had touched into the wall and sprinted out of the room. You didn't know where you were going but you ran. You through a door and shut it tightly, you looked around you were in a library, grabbing a chair that was by the fireplace you pressed it against the door. You didn't know there was a library here.

You walked around trying to clam yourself and think of a plan, not looking where you were going you bumped into one of the shelves knocking out a few books you sighed and bent down to pick them up. As you placed them back one caught your eye it was a Turkish Dictionary, you could finally find out what he said. You sat down by the fire and ripping a piece a oage out of the book you scribbled on the back what Sadik had said to you, 'Demir Hac, genc ejderha sakinin'. Slowly, you started to translate what it said and write it underneath, 'Demir Hac, genc ejderha sakinin' translated to 'Beware the Iron Cross, young dragon'.

He knew who your mother was, no wonder he was so keen to help you but how did he know, the only person who he got into contact with was...... Tommy. He must of known who your mother was from the beginning, would explain why he was so nice to you, was his friendship to you a lie, did he feel a duty to protect you? But this also meant that Hercales knew who you were as well but he died for you no one had ever done something like that before. Both of them had died for you, did they honestly want you to find the treasure. Did they want you to lead a..... Revolution?

But then you remembered something, something that made your heart turn to ice. The Iron cross, the Albino captain, Gilbert Beilschmidt you had learned his name was, when you met him talking to Xiao Mei he had a Iron Cross necklace dangling from his neck. Gilbert Beilschmidt and his accomplice killed Hercales and Sadik. You were so distraught and enraptured in your own thoughts you didn't hear somone violently break down the door, quickly you threw the piece of paper into the fire. As you walked to the door you saw no one else but Arthur standing there and he looked angry and betrayed.

He looked at you and you looks at him, you didn't know what to say. "You lied" he murmured, "I never lied, you never asked" you said calmly, "You lied!" He shouted, "You said you were a street rat!". Your temper was now flaring "You have to understand-" "I don't have to understand anything" "Yes you do! I have had it hard I watched my mother die infront of me when I was six years old, and besides what does this change" you explained, he suddenly shoved you against the wall his pinning your worst a painfully to your sides. "What does this change?" He repeated, "I trusted you, you promised me that you wouldn't lie to me but no, wenches like you are all the same all they want is to use people and throw them out" his words shook you to your bones and you felt tears prick the corners of your eyes.  He let go of your wrists, you slumped to the floor as he started to walk out of the door "And you know what, even if we couldn't get the treasure I would of still kept you on my ship, I would of loved you" he said in a melancholy voice before shutting the door.

You bawled your eyes out, you stupid girl what have you done.
