"How dare you bring me aboard this ship without so much as telling me what you are?" She yelled.
Kincade let out a smug grin, one that infuriated Astryd even more. She took a few more steps toward him so that they were mere feet apart.
He looked down at a doubloon he was holding and slowly turned it over in his hands as he spoke. "I saw a troubled woman in a sailor's pub, obviously hiding from the royal guards. Surely you must have gotten yourself into a sticky situation. And you don't expect me to assume what you are?"
Astryd fumbled for words. What was he getting at?
He lifted his head to look her in the eyes. "You're a thief and now a sailor. You know what that makes you, sweetheart?"
"I am not a..." she shouted, but she stumbled at the last word. She pointed her finger in Kincade's face and whispered, "pirate."

Dealing with Pirates
"It's a bad idea dealing with Pirates....but dealing your life?" he asked raising an eyebrow at me. I bit my lip not replying He shrugged sitting down "Why cross something like that with cheaters and liars, love?" He won me over "It's not about living, it's about living free." I answered. He looked me in the eyes and my insides twisted. He finally nodded licking his lips "Okay, but if ya want me to help ya, how do ya know I won't cheat or lie to ya? Why trust me?" I chuckled walking to the door and as I grabbed the door knob he added "You are risking a lot asking fur me help." I looked over my shoulder at the cheater and liar staring at me "I don't have anything else. All I can do is just....improvise the rest of the way." He smiled showing his golden teeth "That's my favorite way." he said "I'll help ya. But you're hear warned! You're dealing with a pirate!" "I've dealt with them my whole life, Jack." I whispered walking out the door. I know this story may seem short with only seven chapters but I made sure to make the chapters longer than my other stories for you guys! Thanks and enjoy.

Not All Treasure is Silver and Gold
I think I'm gonna revise this to mature a little more lol Story 1 of Pirates of the Caribbean Jessica Williams is a well profound pirate. her name is known to most places on land and sea. At least it used to be before she disappeared for a decade. Her mother being a fallen Pirate Lord, her father being a fallen Commodore left her an orphan at the age of 17. That didn't slow her down. She made a name for herself in her ruthlessness, saving no mercy for any gender or rank. Along her life she got herself into a spat with Davy Jones on the seas, interfering with souls he was trying to collect by force. She said it was an imbalance to the natural order but he in turn nearly killed her..Tia Dorma nursed her back to health when she found Jessica washed up on the shores of her island. Her entire crew had been killed and she was left barely alive. So Tia Dorma decided to held her in exchange for her beating heart. Jessica didn't understand at the time, and claimed she had no use for it so she could happily take it. Everyone she ever cared about was dead anyways so what did she need it for? However, Tia said there was much about a human heart that she had yet to lean and she would only give the heart back once it heals and Jessica could "properly utilize it" whatever the hell that meant.. Until then Tia would put a spell on Jessica. She couldn't die until something in Jessica stirred that cold heart of hers..read to see more!

Starstruck || Armin Arlert x Original Character (OC)
Astra, a name written in the stars- another root of "Astronomy". The girl was made of hypothetical stardust, and the passion from a woman who wished to see the night sky. This is her journey across her own dark canvas one- that you may call her life. === "You're leaving tomorrow morning, aren't you?" Armin hummed in response. He then turns his head to face her, "Yeah, I'm sorry.." She shook her head with a smile. "No, no. Don't say sorry.." Astra sat up, and he followed suit- she raised her pinky and grinned, "How about we promise each other to send letters? And we have to update each other on what stars we see that night." He lightens up at the declaration, he nods in response, and hooks his pinky with hers. "I solemnly swear to write to Astra the Star Maiden-" "Knight!" she corrected. "-The Star Knight, and to talk about what stars I see once it is nighttime." Astra giggles before saying her vow, "And I solemnly swear to write to Armin the Sea Prince, and to talk about what stars I see once it is nighttime." === OC x Canon Fanfic This is cross-posted on Ao3 (Thanato_Phobia) All Rights to Attack on Titan characters belong to Isayama, this is a work of fanfiction.
The Alphas Mermaid
The alphas mermaid I looked into the eyes of the alpha, his deep blue eyes you could get lost in. I was snapped out of my trance by being pulled by my brother. I looked at him confused untill I looked back at the alpha to see his eyes full of fury and being held by a beta and a pack worrier. "You are to weak to be my mate! You are a human! You will never succeed." He growled. I looked at him wide eyed. They don't know what and who we are, all I know is that the alpha wolf is my mate... I'm a mermaid, the last purple tailed mermaid and hunted by many, and I'm in hiding. I smiled and walked up to him changing my eyes to my bright purple and looking at him. "If you only knew" then I turned on my heels walking out of he school with my brothers in tow. ------------- Bryce is the next alpha of the Dark Moon pack. He is the player, the normal non-mated alpha. He has bright blue eyes and black hair. When he meets his mate he is outraged to find out that she is human....or so he thinks. Marine is not like every mermaid girl, she is special and due to her royal blood her and her brother have. They can shift from mermaid to human, but if they come in contact with water in human form they shift in a minute flat. But what happens when she meets the alpha and is her mate. He thinks she human?  She's not. She is the last purple finned mermaid out there. She has many powers which include anything water or sea related. Will he find out her secret? Will he want her back?Lengkap
The Golden
Welcome, dear reader, to a tale of high spirits and hilarious misadventure! This is the story of three teenagers from the fantastical world of Emaranta: Fredrick Deleman, the easy-going adventurer; Bailey Knosing, the clever and occasionally clumsy strategist; and Sandra Harris, the sharp and surprising new friend they haven't even met yet. Our story begins in the gleaming, sprawling metropolis of Dunya, a city in the United States of Amazon, where the suns shine bright and the rules are made to be... creatively interpreted. Bored out of their minds on a mandatory family vacation cruise-courtesy of well-meaning but utterly clueless parents-our trio (once they become a trio) find themselves banned from most of the ship's activities after a... well, let's call it a "pool noodle incident" of epic proportions. Forced to create their own fun, they stumble upon a mystery that will whisk them away from the boring lido deck and onto a road less traveled, leading them straight into the heart of my fictional world, Emaranta. Here, the normal rules don't apply. There is no death, no sorrow, no disease. It's a paradise where humanoids and animanoids live in perfect, hilarious harmony. What might look like magic to you is just another Tuesday here. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Why don't you read along and see for yourself? The adventure is just beginning.Lengkap
Lillian's Mercy: King slayer
I woke up in a daze, unsure of why my body felt so stiff, so sore. I winced as I threw my legs over the side of the bed, and again as I stood up, pain flaring from every muscle in my body as I made my way to the polished mirror beside my wardrobe. I gasped at the sight of the bruised and battered girl in front of me. The memories from last night flooded my mind. It was my birthday. Father had invited several high class guests to the event. He expected me to begin courting. The man he had introduced me to was a plump old man. I had refused adamantly, his years against my fourteen churned my stomach. Unfortunately, my father didn't take my refusal well. He grabbed me by the arm roughly and dragged me into the attic-my bedroom. His beatings were getting worse. At least the last time i t hadn't taken much effort to hide the pain. This time that wouldn't be possible. This time, there would be no hiding it. This time the pain was too much. I whimpered as I headed to the door, but it was locked. It seems my father had predicted my state. Rage and anger burned through my veins as I slammed my fist against the door. One day I would learn to defend myself. One day I would escape this wretched castle. One day I would no longer be bound by the Caspian people. One day I will no longer be their princess. "I will get away from here, and you will pay for what you've done old man." I vowed before slamming my fist against the door again. "I will be free." I huffed as I crawled back into the bed for some much needed rest.Lengkap

You should've looked away. You couldn't. Your eyes refused to wander. Tattoos licked across Law's bare chest, arching into the shape of a flaming heart. Black, inky fingers curled around his biceps, circling his forearms. Each design was as intricate as the letters printed across his knuckles. "Wow." You hadn't meant to say it out loud, but it was impossible not to. Law was a walking piece of art. Law's hand hovered over his chest. You watched in awe as something landed in his open palm. His own beating heart. In a small, translucent cube. Your mouth formed a silent 'o' as you stared. You had witnessed all kinds of Devil Fruit powers, rare and awesome alike, but Law's was truly unique. It felt strangely real as you stared at the heart in his palm. No flames or inhuman forms. Just him. Law's eyes were on your face as you stared in wonder. His hand stretched out to you, offering his heart.

The Pirate's Prisoner | Percabeth
Life was going great for Prince Percy Jackson of Argos. His father was alive and well, he had loads of money, and there was a new girl in his bed almost every day. Percy was soaking in the good life. But when a trip to Crete goes horribly wrong, Percy is kidnapped by the most feared pirate on the seas: Annabeth Chase. Often called the "Pirate Queen", Annabeth rules the seas with an iron fist. It is rumored that she is the daughter of a goddess. Suddenly, Percy finds himself in a dangerous situation, one he is not prepared for. Will he be returned to his father alive, or will only his head make it back? *** Eventually, I got to the second last captive. Hazel pulled off his burlap sack. "Name?" I asked. "Frank of house Zhang," He replied sternly. That meant he was the son of the Jackson's Navy General. I didn't need any more information. "Put him in the the brig." Hazel nodded and hauled him to his feet. Don't even ask me how she did that, seeing as he was a really big guy. Then I got to the last one. Piper hauled off his burlap sack. She didn't do it gently, and there was a cut across her cheek, so I assumed that the captive had hit her with something. I looked down, and found myself face-to-face with Prince Percy Jackson of Argos. β’Completedβ’Lengkap
