You had been in Uma's pirate crew for two months now. Coming to the Isle had been hard for you and joining Uma wasn't as easy either. She was skeptical of you due to your parentage of whom was none other than the Queen of Hearts. Uma admitted she thought that you were here to cut off her head or something. You remember laughing at her and soon she joined in with you. However, you were evil and she respected that. So, within no time at all and a few trials to prove yourself, you were finally a real pirate. Being the only child of the Queen of Hearts had its perks.

Being evil meant everything to you only because that was what you were raised around. You didn't care about others feelings except your own and your fellow crew mates. Of course, that's what brought you and Harry together. He saw the foul things you did to the other people on the Isle and he loved it. Harry wasn't the nicest guy and everyone feared him. For good reason. He was your best friend and partner in crime. Taking money from other citizens on the Isle was even more fun with him around. Stealing was easier because one would distract and the other would do the deed. Soon, you guys had acquired many things that did not belong to you. Like trophies, Harry and you displayed them on a shelf in Harry's apartment. Just gazing upon them excited you to the core.

During time when Harry and you couldn't have fun, he taught you how to fight, both physically and with swords. The physical part was rough because he was such an ass and not to mention he was fucking strong. You tapped out many times because you were about to pass out. Uma had watched him a couple times and she told him to take it a little easy on you. She didn't want her favorite female pirate to get seriously injured or worse. Harry had laughed but Uma wasn't playing around. Uma had plans for you in the future that she knew you were more than capable of doing, hence the reason why she kept you around. She knew that the only reason why Harry was tough on you was because he wished for you to be as unforgiving as him in a fight. Uma had to remind him that you were still fairly new and your time would soon come.

The swordplay was amazing. Besides the physical fighting of which you really didn't like, you loved playing with swords. In order to be a part of Uma's crew you had to know how to handle a sword. She couldn't have a pirate on her ship that didn't know how to defend his or herself. The art of sword fighting always fascinated you. However, the only time you've ever seen the weapon in use was when your Mother cut the head off of those of whom betrayed her. She was a bit of a brute and you were deep down very thankful to not have to live with her any longer. Sometimes you had worried that you were next to lose your head.

Your duties for the day were finished and as you made your way to the training court, you couldn't help the butterflies in the pit of your stomach. Just thinking of Harry had you melting inside. He was no doubt the most handsome guy you'd ever seen and you'd seen and courted many young men but Harry was different. Those others didn't mean anything to you because it was your Mother who forced you to find a lover in them. She craved grandchildren and you had to continue reminding her that you were only nineteen. You weren't interested in having children right now. That was part of the reason why you left your home. You were in search of freedom and you were able to breath now that you had it.

Yes you considered Harry to be your best friend but there were many days where you wished that you two were something more. You had never had the pleasure of being in a relationship with anyone but you wanted to try with Harry. Many girls tried their best to woo him and yes he would flirt back, but he never once showed any interest. Uma had told you that yes he used to be quite the womanizer, but as soon as you came to the Isle, he changed. Now you understood why the girls glared at you when you walked by. You didn't care much because you knew that if any of them tried to fuck with you then they'd be beaten to a pulp. You took no shit from anyone.

Still, you had hoped that one day he would confess any kind of feelings towards you. You weren't good enough to read people like Uma could and when you and Harry were together at Ursula's Fish and Chips, she had something in her eyes when she looked at you two that you couldn't figure out.
