   Raven is the captain of a pirate crew. He and his men are on their way to the harbor of Starburst, the biggest human kingdom of them all, all over the archipelago.

   Raven and the king made a deal, and Captain Raven is currently headed for Starburst to turn her in, in exchange for some great and valuable - but most importantly rare - items wanted by all the pirates. How do I know he has to give in a girl? I am her...

   Sitting in my cell pretty darn beat up from the fight I had with his crew. The coward of a captain wouldn't even dare face me! His crew is really strong, but none of them has the slightest sign of even having a brain of a mouse. I know it from personal experience trust me; my left leg, the one that I could stand on is chained, no but not to the walls, to one of the bars.

   One of Raven's crew member walks in and takes a look at me and then asks me rather harshly and loudly; "Ye alive?!"

   "I am..." I respond.

   "Good. Captain Raven and the king both want ye alive."

   "Leave..." I demand him quietly, annoyed by the simple fact that he's present.

   "What did ye just say to me?!" He shouts in my face.

   "I said... LEAVE!" I shouted at him, even though I know it is no use. They get to my nerves way too easily, but what can I say; I always had a short temper.

   Instead of an answer, I get an awful smelling laughter from him, probably because of the amount of rum they always drink.

   "Tis s'not yer place to talk, mutt!"

   Oooohhhhh, he did not just say that.

   "Don't you dare call me a mutt!" I shouted back at him with gloving eyes under my mask, rage taking over my body and soul, just like every. single. time.

   I run in the direction of him, but only to hit the bars and fall down, due to my chains, cuts and wounds. Making him laugh me out again, I fall to the ground bleeding badly from my torso. I have three huge scars there, nearly going around my body.

   "Watch 'er." He shouts at the guard standing next to my cell's door, probably making him deaf.

   "Yes Colt." He replied and I sat back against the wall and watch Colt leave the cells' room.

   "Great, just great. Another prison to escape from. Unless..." I stop whisper-shouting to myself and take a look-around where they are keeping me, in hopes of finding another solution.

   I found an empty rum bottle close enough to the cell for me to grab, and pull it through the bars. 'Heh... Idiots...' I think to myself with a smirk plastered on my face.

   I feel the boat come to a sudden shop, and slight panic washes over me. Raven must've docked the ship to Starburst's harbor. That is not good; the kingdom is full of guards. I have to move quickly if I wanna get out of their grasp.

   I smack the bottle on the head of the guard next to my cell's door. He faints and the keys fall out of his hands. Stupid place to keep them, if you ask me. And that's when I know that my weekly luck was spent on that one key.

   'Perfect!' I think to myself as I unlock the cell door, push it open and get out.

   I run out of there making my way behind some barrels, and I sit down and listen to their conversation. Raven leaves the ship and starts talking to the king and two of his guards.

   "Captain Raven, I suspect?" The king says. "You better have the girl, or our deal is over, with your head as decoration on my walls." He finishes menacingly.

   'What a power hungry jerks he is. And he's surprised I steal straight from him and wreak havoc within his castle walls. ' I stop thinking to myself about all the things I could – and might actually – do to him, and listen closely again.

   "Yes. I am Captain Raven. And yes I have that low life loner." And he's the most money hungry person I have ever known and hated.

   'I'll steal from him one day.' I think to myself and rage is filling me once again.

   "Great. I am impressed. It will be a relief having her imprisoned." Ooohhhh I'll show you imprisoned guards when- I breathe in and out, calming myself as much as I can.

   The guard who said that was once a pirate, and we were best friends, until... Him.

   "Calm down Miumi." Said the other guard.

   I wanted to laugh at the response she got but I kept it in.

   "So, where is she?" The king asks making me feel like he's poking me with a stick, angering me to attack, but once again, I hold it.

   "Hey! You there!" Raven shouts loudly.

   "Who? Me?" Asks one of his newest crew member. He's so derpy and clueless.

   "No. The shark behind you!" Raven replied sarcastically, and I already knew what was coming next.

   'The drums please', I think to myself.

   "YES YOU, YOU MOUSEBRAINED SHARK FOOD!" Raven yells at him, making him shake a bit then he goes to get. Well, me.

   Being me, I didn't get surprised when he returned with empty hands. I almost fell into the sea from silent laughter, which wouldn't be really great, thanks to all the blood that could start oozing from me, and attract sharks.

   "CAPTAIN! The girl- SHE HAS GONE MISSING!" He says making my stomach feel even worse from all the laughing. And my scars started to bleed again.

   'This is NOT good.' I think to myself trying to find another way off the ship than the salty seawater.

   "Haaaaarrrrrhhh!" Raven shouted. "Search the town, and the docks! She couldn't have gotten far with that bruise around her stomach." His men raced off the boat, leaving it unguarded. These guys truly have no such things as brains.

   While the king looked ready to kill Raven at the mention of my wounds. I wonder why?

   "Bruise? I taught that our deal said you will deliver her unharmed." Said the king with a deadly seriousness in his voice. Intimidating I must say, but not quite intimidating for me.

   "I would've, if she would've gave herself up. But she did not. So, me and my men had to force her."

   "Fhuuuuu, you pretty little liar..." I said that out loud. Crap. The next moment my cover was blown by Raven flicking the barrel away.

   "So, this, is where you're hiding!"

   "Crap!" I say out loud again, having to run away, getting him to chase me down the streets of Starburst.

   Turning backwards for a short peek, I didn't only see Raven behind me now, but the two guards of the king as well. Not good.

   "Get back here you mutt!" Raven shouted after me, while chasing after me on the side of the city, sometimes on the docks or across boats.

   "You did not-" I try to say buuuut...

   "Oh, yes I DID."

   That being the last straw, I turn around and face the trio, taking stance.
