The Second sat in front of the bed where his master's wife lay still asleep and still blissfully unaware of what was happening around her.

He could simple kill that treacherous Leonardo. But it would only make his master angry at him. But something had to be done.

Then he heard the slight clicking of a door being opened, and turned swiftly towards it.

The youngest done walked in, as bashful and indecisive as ever. Not a threat.

"Oh it's you. What do you want now? Leonardo ordered you to summon us?"

The boy shook his head.

"Well? What is it then?"

"This is wrong."

He said. The Second stood and turned to him.

"You are just realizing this?"

"No. I have known this fact for a while. I have just been too cowardly to say anything."

"And?"

"I want to get you and Mother out of here. This savagery has to end somewhere."

"What of your father?"

"He doesn't want to come. He said that he was proud that I had come to my senses but that he would curse me if I did anything to move him."

The Second rolled his eyes.

"That sounds like something he would say. Are you coming with us?"

"No. It would be too suspicious if I did."

"Fine. However I haven't totally forgiven you so don't be surprised if I'm a little on edge."

"I understand. I will return to you at night, when Father has cast a sleeping spell on the place.

"He still has power to do that?"

"Yes. He could free himself if he wanted to, but I can't force him to do so."

"That man is going to kill me one I these days."

"Light a fire in the fire place and you and mother must sit beside it. Do not move away from it until I come for you or else you'll fall asleep."

"Fine."

The young man turned to leave and opened the door to go.

"Wait."

Said the second and the boy turned to look at him.

"I...thank you."

The boy nodded and left the room as quickly as he had entered.

The Second looked upon his master's wife and took her hand parting it gently.

"Don't worry. I will keep you safe.

All in all, it would take them about two months to get to the Boston Harbor.

"Hold her steady Farley. Bring her in slow."

The Ship creeped slowly amongst the other ships of the the busy harbor.

Isabella stood beside her brother watching anxiously as the many trade and merchant ships passed them by. Oblivious to the fact that they were in a fairly obvious pirate ship.

However, the ship seemed to go unnoticed.

They were able to dock, when a customs officer walked up to the Babs, Vane, and Arsham who were busy tying off the ship.

"Why hello there Gents."

The three turned and nodded at the portly gentleman.

"Do any of you know who's in charge here?"

"That would be the Captain."

Said Babs, as he finished his job.

"Could I please speak to him?"

"Him? What the hell-"

Arsham was jabbed in the ribs before he could say anymore.

"I'll go get him."

Vane border the ship and found Onyx giving orders as to where they would meet up when night fell.

"Ahoy there, Captain!"

Onyx turned to Vane.

"What is is?"

"There's a custom's officer wantin I speak with ya."

"Fine."

She was about to follow him when she thought of something.

"Damn."

Nathaniel nodded in agreeance.

"I know. He already called ya a He, and all the suitable candidates he's met already."

That's when the two caught sight of Lewis coming up from below deck.

They exchanged looks and Nathaniel immediately ran up to him and grasped him by the shoulder.

Onyx turned back to the crew.

"Alright. I know ya all want to party and make merry. Since only about half of ya have made this trip with me before, be warned this place is not Malgosia. Do what you will in the day, but when evening comes, all of ya better be finishing yer way to this Inn."

She gave them each a piece of paper with the direction to an inn called The Wayfarer's.

With that the Captain turned them loose and they made their way to shore.

Onyx walked down and joined them to find Lewis, Vane, and the customs officer, laughing together.

She waited until Vane was leading the man away to approach Lewis.

"What did he want?"

The young man turned to look at her, still smiling from earlier.

"He said that he saw that we weren't on the roster and was wondering how a unchartered merchant ship was able to dock."

"Merchant Ship?"

"Yes, apparently the ship looks like a merchant ship."

She turned and sure enough, the Scythe was magicked to look like the average merchant ship coming to trade.

"Anyway, we were able to pay him off. Nathaniel is going to do the paperwork now."

"Well, it's still hours till nightfall. Why don't we go find this witch? Oh and where is your sister?"

Lewis pointed to the Princes talking to a woman by a tavern.

Onyx Whistled and the Princess turned to look at her.

Onyx waved her over and the Princess ran towards her.

"Yes, Captain?"

"Who were you talking to?"

"That woman. She was yelling at me for wearing men's clothes. I told her that these were more comfortable."

Onyx, looked at the young girl in men's clothes that were fired tightly to her body in order to be more practical at sea. She noticed the stares she was getting, from the Sea men, that walked past them.

"Hmm. Before we start out business, there's one stop we have to make. Come, we have to change."

Onyx took Isabella's hand and led her through the port, with Lewis on their heels.

She cringed inwardly at what she was going to do. It was something that she, in her travels, hasn't had to do since she was a child.

She had to wear a dress.
