Chapter 1
The Nocturne creaked spookily while resting on the dark sea as Grace slept peacefully, not noticing anything around her. Beside her, a certain long haired young boy sat, watching her instead of doing his duty of Lieutenant. Grace turned and murmured a 'no', causing Lorcan to smile sweetly, preparing to tell the sleeping angel how much she really meant to him in his head. 'It's the time to tell her. If only she just woke up!'
This peace didn't last, however, as the boat suddenly rocked sharply to one side. As Lorcan stood up, alarmed, as Grace shot up in her bed, locks of brown wavy hair in front of her face like curtains. She stared at Lorcan, both confused of what had just happened and why he was in her room. He glanced back with worry and smiled slightly. 'Well, at least she's awake …' he thought to himself before the ship violently jolted to the side once more. You didn't need to be a genius to realise that whatever it was was causing a lot of damage to this old ship.
Lorcan rushed to the door and opened it, quickly turning around to face Grace. "I know it's tempting, but STAY INSIDE! I'll only be gone for a little while."
Grace folded her arms across her chest and pouted. "I'm not a kid you know! And fine, I'll stay here, even if it kills me."
"That's exactly what I don't want happening …" Lorcan muttered under his breath. Luckily, Grace never heard him. Lorcan slammed the door shut behind him and ran off to the middle of the deck where the other Vampirates were. The beautiful figurehead ran up to him and hugged him, which startled him a bit. She senced the tension so let go. He raised an eyebrow and smirked as Darcy looked down at the floor.
"Lorcan, Darcy, MOVE!" The Captain shouted as the pair looked to the side to see another ship colliding with theirs. Lorcan grabbed Darcy's arm and ran to where the captain was, just as the side of The Nocturne was slightly damaged.
The other ship stopped, and just over the edge of it, Lorcan could make out a bald guy around his thirties with giant, sharp, shiny teeth. Lorcan gasped and took a couple of steps back. 'Sidorio!'

Grace POV
I sat on the end of my bed, too anxious to even try to get any more sleep. I smiled as I thought about my dream, but happy thoughts slowly drifted away from me as The Nocturne took another hit from the thing that was attacking us. I stood up, careful not to fall over as the boat harshly rocked from side to side.
"Lorcan …" I whispered, hoping he'd be alright outside. Then I remembered the advantages that he had with the whole vampire thing. 'He'll be fine.' I repeatedly told myself. The problem was, no matter how many times I said it; I had a very hard time believing it.
The Nocturne took another blow, causing me to fall into the corner of my little table, giving me a big cut across my elbow. I silently yelped in pain and looked at the wound to see blood forming already. I stared at the door of my cabin and sighed. 'Well, this is just great. How am I supposed to clean this before Lorcan comes back and finds me bleeding?' I sighed once more before grabbing a fairly old pink T-Shirt that I never wore and covered the seemingly deep gash in my arm, hopefully before any of the vampires smelt it.
I crept up to the window and pulled back the aged curtain so that I could see what was happening. I grunted as that was made difficult by the large piece of … something covering it from the outside, with the words: 'Don't even think about it, Grace. And if you come out, I will make the rest of your life a living hell. Have fun!' written across it, and a signature just visible on the bottom. I released the curtain, letting it fall over the blocked window. I smirked evilly. I have to repay Darcy when I next see her. I sat on the middle of my bed, hoping that everything would be okay.
I woke up suddenly, barely realising that I'd fallen asleep. I sat up on the bed, wondering if everything that happened was just a dream. I waddled over to window and, sure enough, that same note was there. Only some parts were ripped and there were a few splatters of blood on the back.
My eyes widened and I took a few steps back. 'What is going on out there!?' I sat on my bed once again. I know I haven't been asleep very long; it's still as dark as it was the last time I looked. I just wanted everyone to be okay …
I stood once again, staring at the door. I could definitely hear fighting going on outside.
I walked slowly to the door, and pressed my ear against it. Yep, there was definitely trouble going on. As I stood back a bit, my eyes caught sight of the pink T-Shirt I wrapped around my elbow earlier. I unravelled it to see that the bleeding had stopped, but it was still quite a big wound.
I decided to forget about it as I took a deep breath. 'They might need help!' I told myself, as I reached out and touched the door handle. I was surprised to see that it turned the whole way, until I remembered that Lorcan was in such a hurry to leave he didn't have time to lock the door like normal. After a second deep breath, I listened intensely as the latch of the door clicked …
Okay, first chapter up. It's not as good as the rest of my stories, and I know it's quite short, but I wanted to get this chapter over and done with so that I could focus on the action-y part of the story (which start in the next chapter :D) Well … PLEASE REVIEW!! REVIEWS MAKE ME HAPPY!!
Toodles!!
