“Please promise me you will be careful. That’s all I ask of you; all I ask is for you to not do anything incredibly stupid. Pirates are dangerous. I would know. I am one.” he whispered, his fingertips grazing along my cheek bones and then dropping to my shoulders to clutch them as if his life depended on it. I took in his expression, looked into the depths of his gray eyes that matched the shade of a storming sea. “So does that mean that I should be careful around you too Mr. Dangerous Pirate?” I asked with a joking lilt in my voice. His eyes darkened at my light words and suddenly his hands came up to clutch my face forcing me to look strictly at him. The right corner of his upper lip curled into a menacing half snarl. “It means you should definitely be careful around me. I’m being serious and I do not appreciate your attempt at humor. Wherever you go danger will follow and if you do not take my warning to heart you will do something reckless and end up being murdered. If you were to get hurt, I- I honestly do not know what I would do. Probably something that would get me killed as well.” The harsh words melted into something soft, something caring and tender and filled with sincerity. “Don’t worry so much. I won’t get hurt.” I patted his cheek in assurance and before I could move he curled his fingers around mine and gave me a burning stare so intense that I thought I might go up in flames from the heat of it. “You don’t understand. Pirates, they like shiny things. And you Cora, you are like glittering gold.”

* * * "...Why are you following me?" I only muttered in case no one was really there. I didn't want any surrounding people to think I was crazy and just imagining someone behind me. "I didn't even get a thank you." To my surprise, there was a response. Slightly horrified, I spun around to look my rescuer in the eyes. Scratch that. In the mask. He was wearing a mask. * * * Saved from a rapist by a pirate. At first, Vivienne sees pirates as scums. She believes all of them are full of greed. Well, Vivienne isn't completely wrong. But when she accidentally boards a pirate ship belonging to the Masquerade Messes, her entire life takes a turn. Perhaps for the better, perhaps for the worse... either way, Vivienne occupies her time by trying to identify her rescuer. He's a part of the crew, but the only time he appears is during the masquerade parties. She tries to figure out who he is, but she struggles badly. He's just always masked. * * * //completed as of 12/15/16//
