"You've got ten minutes to get in and get out, before the patrolman gets back over there." Captain hook pointed at a window that was on the second story then down at the guard walking past.

I quickly ran down to the window once the guard past and climbed up the stone wall and through the window.

"I expected a fancier room." I whispered as I walked around and looked for the chest that was described to me.

"You know I'm right." I heard Papa say from behind me after I began to pick the lock on the desired chest. "He doesn't truly care about you, Sam."

"Yea. Maybe, but at least he didn't abandon me in the forest as a child that can't defend herself." I said coldly as I continued to pick the lock. "He's taught me how to fight for myself and survive beyond stealing molded bread and rotten fruit. So if I end up getting left behind I'll be fine."

"You know he's just going to hurt you."

"You know what I don't care. I have a place to sleep, food to eat, people who actually acknowledge my existence." I finished with the lock. "That's more than you've done these past 6 years, so if you'll just leave that would be great."

"Then let me do one thing for you."

"No." I said as I drew my sword. He looked surprised.

Suddenly my sword began to glow.

"What did you do?" I asked as I sheathed my sword.

"A simple spell. The sword will always be with you." Suddenly he vanished into his ugly colored cloud.

I turned back around and opened up the chest and found a bunch of rolled up prices of paper. I quickly collected them and closed the chest. I placed the papers into my blouse before looking out the window and jumping once I saw the coast was clear.

I didn't get seen at all. Hell Captain Hook didn't even see me sneak up on him.

"Can we go now?"

"Bloody hell!" Captain Hook whisper yelled as he turned to face me.

"You said I'm good at being quiet." I pulled out the prices of paper I took from the chest. "You also said I could do it, and I did."

He smiled at me and pushed the papers back to me. "Hold on to them until were back at the ship."

We quickly began to run through the forest and eventually made it back to the ship.

"In my quarters. Remember we are all pirates." He said half jokingly.

I followed home to his quarters and pulled out the papers.

"Let's have a look at those, shall we?" He cleared off his table so I could put down the stolen treasure I had.

We began to go through the papers and all they were was pictures.

"You had me steal drawings?" I asked as I looked at one that was of a island shaped like a skull.

"They are indeed drawings, but they are also maps to the greatest treasures." He said with a big smile. "Let me show you."
