"y-your gonna kill me too!" the princess sobbed, I smack the back of Luffy's head, "you made her think she's gonna be killed by us"

"No!! She decided that on her own" he yelled back, "hey look we're not gonna kill you"

"Y-yes you are, he gave you orders" she sobbed even more, "daddy, brother help someone please" I put a finger to my lips, "shush, its ok, why don't you tell us who's after you"

She quieted down and looked at me sniffling, "w-well he, he marked me 10 years ago, I sent messages to him and asked him to stop. B-but he t-thinks that i'm in love with him and he's mad that I don't talk to him anymore. So he's been throwing things at me, like ax's, this room is all that keeps me safe!" she starts to cry some more. "I haven't been out of this room in 10 years!"

I turn my head as I hear something flying through the air coming in the direction of the room, looking out I growl as I see an ax. "The hell" I mutter, my eyes flick up to the princess and then back to the ax. My eyes widen as I realize where the ax was heading, "look out" I yell and draw out my sword meeting the ax with a force that shook my body. I had to say the ax had a lot of force on it and it took some effort to redirect it.

I grit my teeth and was sent flying backwards hitting a wall, the impact jarred my body and I struggled to breathe as it had knocked the wind out of me too. Opening my eyes I see the ax heading straight forward, "Taylor" Luffy yells, I slide down the wall and hit the floor just as it hits where my head would have been, "holy shit" I mutter, 'whoever threw that was strong"

I twist around and look at the princess, "do you really believe that we are going to kill you" I snap, "I'm hungry" Luffy whines, I glare at Luffy, "I still have to tell you something Luffy" looking back at Luffy who was eating through her whole food supply. "Luffy! Stop eating all her food she may want some of that too!" I pick up a dagger from my belt and aim and the table Luffy was at, pulling back I take a sharp breathe as pain laces up my side. Looking back down at my wound to see it was bleeding again, "shit" putting pressure against it I walk over to where they are.

Ignoring me Luffy continues eating, climbing back up onto her bed I smile at her as she laughs at Luffy. "You have such big cheeks" she says and pokes one of his cheeks, he spits out half of the food he had in his mouth. "Oi! Don't do that!"

"d-don't yell at me" she sobs and starts to cry again, "Your such a crybaby" Luffy says going back to eating, "I don't like crybabies or liars" I storm over to Luffy as the princess cries even more and wraps herself in a blanket, "Luffy-kun, Taylor-chan, please leave"

"Luffy!!!" I yell and punch his head, "idiot, baka!!" I keep throwing punches at him and eventually get out a dagger as he ignores me. I cry out as he wraps his arms around me and stretches them away from his body.

"Luffy, idiot captain, put me down" I scream, ignoring me he turns back to the princess, "where would you like to go, if you weren't stuck in here" Luffy asks her. I quit down and stop resiting Luffy, listening for her answer.

The princess pokes her head out of the blankets she wrapped herself in, "anywhere but here, i've been locked up in this room for 10 years" Luffy puts me down and I brush off my shoulders, huffing I turn to leave.

"Well i'm going back to the others" I say walking out of the room, as I walk down the silent hallway I pause, something's wrong, hearing footsteps running in my direction, "get the straw hats and take them alive,  their suspects!! Hurry they might be in the princesses room!" Thinking things through I turn and hear them coming down the other hallway, turning I bolt down another hallway, I'm in no condition to fight! Twisting around I look back to see a group of guards after me, "there's the werewolf"

"oh shit" I run faster, in an instant i'm suspended in the air, I cry out as I hit the stairs hard as i fall down. I stop finally at the bottom and groan, "that couldn't be good for my condition" I moan and try to push myself up. Gasping in pain I whirl around and kick out at the person who had just picked me up, putting me in cuffs i see a glimmer of amusement in his eyes. Snarling I bare my fangs and try to lung at him, I hear a crack and something lashes against my face.

Turning I see a man with a whip in his hands glaring at me. "You are one of the straw hats? and your downfall was a flight of stairs, literally" I snarl at the guy, 'oh shut up"

"put her in the dungeon'' I glare at the fishman, "get going" I was poked in the back and shoved down a hallway. Glaring at anyone that looked at me, I was brought back up the dreaded stairs, and lead to another one.Once we get to the stairs I try to resist again, I  plant my feet on the ground and throw the guy over my shoulders and down the stairs. He had a tighter grip than I thought and it didn't go out as I planed, "are you kidding" I yell as I hit almost every single stair on the way down and land with a painful thud at the bottom.

"Oi you alright" I took in a sharp breathe and try not to scream, "pain, pain, pain" i gasp out and roll over onto her side. "Yea, i'm fine but thanks for asking Zoro" I bite my lip and taste blood as I was picked up by my hair and dragged around. I go as limp as possible and hear the guy growl in frustration, "just put her in the cell with the other one"

This guy though, thought it would be funny to actually through me in there, I gasp and blow my hair out of my face as I push myself off the ground. The guards turn and walk away as I start to scream at them, "bastards, you'll regret that, i-i'll engrave my initials on your backs for this!  So you'll always remember me"

'Oi, oi, calm down" I feel two arms encircle me and drag me down on the floor, scooting to the back of the cell Zoro inspects my body. Tearing off a piece of clothing he wraps it around my waist to try and stop my bleeding. I kiss him and snuggle against him, "might as well get comfortable, I have a feeling we'll be here for a while''
