"Pirates are just an old children's story." I shrug, "You cannot be a pirate. Pirates aren't real."
The stranger laughs, "Where are you from?"
"A little village way up North, Mother was very protective after my Father passed on." I lie smoothly.
"Why do want to join my crew?"
I can't very well tell him I'm on a mission for my King and he ordered me to join a ship's crew sailing towards the tropics.
"To escape my matchmaking Mother." I reply.


Edward Villiers, known to his crew as Captain Ed and to his enemies as Blue Bilius Capain of the Grey Ghost, is a pirate captain. He must have been deep in his cups because the new sailor he just hired on is actually a woman. How is he supposed to explain this one to his crew? And more importantly, what is the blasted female doing seeking passage on a Pirate ship anyhow? And why doesn't she believe in pirates?

For Arethusa Medusa this voyage is a mission, one that she was chosen for by her King. She doesn't consider herself to be anyone special; just a rather ordinary second daughter of a Lord, she did well in all her studies aside from dancing (her mother insisted). Of course, Arethusa doesn't really believe the ship is she on is an actual pirate ship, her mother always told her Pirates were just a scary story told to little children who misbehaved, it's not like she's ever even see the sea before, how was she to know that Pirates are real?

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.

Power and money didn't really interest Serena, instead she wished for a life of peace and safety. Barely able to afford a bus pass, it was mere chance that she saw a man in handcuffs being escorted by police. And he saw her. Several groups wanted to control him to suit their own purposes, but he could not be controlled by force. He only wanted one thing - and it was her. I will be your heart, if you will be my shield. * * * Sneak Peek * * * I pitied the man, although with that many cops around him, he was likely quite dangerous. Who needed 30 police officers to supervise one guy who was likely in handcuffs and leg shackles? I absentmindedly watched the man walk down the gauntlet between the rows of officers. It was as if I couldn't look away. He paused and looked around. His brilliant glowing blue eyes seemed to meet mine across the vast distance. I couldn't even blink as his eyes seemed to hold mine. The trees of a park broke our locked gaze as the bus kept on driving. I took a deep breath, suddenly realizing that I had stopped breathing the moment our eyes had met. I had never seen such blue eyes before - and they glowed! A shiver ran through me. I had been too far away to even determine the color of the police officers' hair, let alone know the color of the man's eyes. My eyes watched the trees, hoping for a break in them so I could see the man again. I had no such luck. --------------------------------------------------- Please note that this story has nothing to do with any of my other stories.

I said it in a whisper, and my tears began to fall. I hid in the wardrobe like instructed. There was lots of screaming and yelling. My body uncontrollably shook from fear. The door was opened to our house. The small creak echos through the room. I trembled in fear as I peaked through the small gap. I covered my mouth to stop my scream from coming out. The pirates were walking around, opening drawers and cabinets, and tossing beds. One man approached the wardrobe. I close my eyes and bend down, holding my body as I hug my knees. The wardrobe was opened. I can't help the tears that are leaving my eyes. I still haven't made any eye contact with them yet. Fear is running rampant. "Look what we have here, boys." He says.

"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.
