England

The truth about pirates, they don't like rules, so they just don't follow them. Michael Horris, also known as General Horris. The man that captured the allusive Katerina Levi. The woman known for abducting and killing those that her buyers want gone. General Horris recognized her when she was on a job to kill a servant called Fiona Barber. He arrested her immediately, for murder and piracy. Now she sits upright in her stone cell, cold and damp. With only tattered rags as clothes. Her pitch black hair stuck to her neck and back from the rain that pours into the cells. The prison was underground with an outside window at the top for drainage on rainy days. This prison was for the worst of the worst type of criminals. And she was well known. A door opened, the long and loud screech of metal on metal was recognizable anywhere. The two other prisoners hid in their corners. She stood and walked to the cell door. She looked through the bars, curious. Two guards in their navy uniforms walked to her cell. "Stand back" one said with brute mentality. She smirked then backed up, with her hands in the air. They opened the door, and told her to turn around so they may cuff her, reluctantly she did so. She didn't need any more trouble where there was no need. They move her out of the cell and walked back to the prison door but right before they opened it. she spoke "Is it Death Day already, boys?" Katerina smiled her signature smile. They shoved her out of the prison. A small grunt and stumbling lead her to the raining outside of London's finest prison courtyard. Where a hangman's noose laid with many soldiers and civilians. The guards dragged a reluctant Katerina to her ultimate doom. They had to drag her to her noose, where civilians screamed and cried at her because she had killed, abducted their loved ones. They started rapping the noose around her neck when a man began to read her charges. "For over 17 counts of murder, 12 counts of manslaughter, 32 counts of thievery, and 9 counts of abduction. We here by permit Katerina Levi to be here on July 29th, 1743 sentenced to death by hanging for her crimes". General Horris signaled to the executioner. And then Katerina was being strangled. Gasping for air and for the rope burn on her neck to stop itching. For a couple of seconds it felt like hours, because with in 30 seconds the executioner was told to cut the rope that was soon to end her life. She was on all fours gasping for air, rubbing her neck for the burning sensation to stop. Then was picked up by the same two guards harshly and brought to General Horris, the fat bastard spoke "it's your lucky day, the Governor would like to speak to you in his office". And like that the beginning of this story was struck.
