The gasp of wind knocked the air across and down the water, turned men over like dominoes in a line, blew the water in lifting sprays, and made the trees above them mourn with a great gust passing south. Carr Rogers dove down, shutting his eyes tight. He blinked once. And in that instance saw the city, instead of the sea. They had displaced each other. For another of those impossible instants the city stood, rebuilt and unrecognizable, taller than it had ever hoped to be. It hung like a reversed oddity, a top for a bottom, a side for a back.
The sound of its death came after.

Aye Aye Captain /hijack/ boyxboy
It happened so quickly.. Before I knew it we where attacking Clause's men. Each man and woman dieing one by one. Blood splattered on the deck and our swords dripped with the red liquid. "Stay out here and make sure we didn't leave anyone!" I ordered and headed towards the Captains office/room. I kicked the door open and my eyes widen at the sight. A man with white hair almost like snow if it wasn't dirty. His abs seemed to be trained and tanned, oh how grateful I am that he doesn't have a shirt on. He had glistening sky blue eyes that seem to put anyone into a trance, and oh that evil smirk wooed me. But aside of the sexy looks, he killed Captain Clause! The lifeless body of the Captain, laid still on the ground blood leaving his chest in big amounts. Oh how angry I felt towards the hot man standing in front of me. "Well if it isn't Captain haddock." He smirked and cleaned his sword with a hankie. "Yes, and you are?" I said sounding close to an order. "Jack, Jack Frost"Complete
The Ballads of The Skeleton Crew
The boy had never been scourged by dread, not really, untouched still of startling agony to become his reality. He spotted the imposing cliffside meaning to change that by mere accident, kept in defiant remembrance still of this heavenly music descended upon Earth from Heaven, magnificent, majestic and entrancing, this blue ship which had came last night to conjure mystery and great brilliance vibrating with splendor and glory born, like summer sunshine brought unto gloomy night, unlike anything ever heard of. He paused in thought to look at what was dangling from these rocketed walls, instilled immediately by mortal agony. What encountered him there was awful, horrific, spun from his nightmare to turn to atrocious truth. They left a message for him, these strangers, a message for all mankind. All the people from the town were nailed on the colossal rock with obsidian spikes the size of fists, hidden in the darkness as horror always lurked there within. Blood, everywhere. The spikes ripped skin open, tore their bodies apart to let it be a grotesque image, the self-portrait of Death itself. Stiff pale limbs, grossly tangled together, a myriad of heads decorating empty space. A few mutilated legs and arms lay motionless on the bottom of it, of the mere terror, the waves had yet to reach and clean the crime scene, crimson rocks and red sand carnation furthermore. The details swam and blurred his view. He was thankful, for a glimpse sufficed a lifetime. When the dark ship came, it didn't only warn the people of the Destruction following behind, they carried it themselves, bestowing it willingly and with intent, purpose, unknown and arbitrary as it may seem regardless. People rumored among their crowds that they were in fact the cause, the real Bringer of Death. The Harbingers of Cruelty. The Black Squad, Side of Doom. Known perhaps better by their most famous name, the Skeleton Crew. _ completeComplete

Regret Only after losing you did I realize, Happiness was never whole without you. The peace I once found in your laughter, Has now turned into an unending ache. The dreams we wove in each other's arms, Now lie shattered along deserted paths. Boats never return once they drift away, Yet the waves remind me of you every day. If I could go back, I'd hold back the words, The ones that left scars too deep to heal. Now all that remains in a quiet corner of my heart- A name, a mistake, a regret.Complete
Lack of Trust
"I was not flawed, your faith was flawed. If You had faith in your heart for me, I wouldn't have to bear all that I did because of you" she said looking towards him who was sobbing infront of her. "I was very sad and angry at that time. All the evidence was against you and when I saw that condition of my mother I gone mad." He told her and raised his hand to touch her but she jerked away his hand in anger. "Please believe me.... I really love you" He looked into her eyes with the hope that maybe she might believe his words. "There was a time when I also expected you to believe in me but then you did not believe me and left me alone with my sorrow. Today I will leave you alone with your regrets and sorrows" She said angrily. She left from there. He Fell on the floor and took his face in her hand and started crying.
