Chapter 1:Keep holding on
Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through
We'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you
I'm here for you

The girl just sat in the brig alone and broken. She has been like this for about 5 years, when she was taken by pirates as they slaughtered her mother and father when she was 12 years old. She's been broken in many ways. She had try to escape, but things became worst when the pirates brought her back to her captain. She lost all hope in escaping. She lost everything she had.
She was only 12 years old when they took her. All she could remember was her mother and father being slaughtered. The king and queen killed as they were on a journey from visiting the kingdom of the sun. She saw as the pirates murdered them. They kept her for their captain, who was pleased with her. He had a rule with his crew about her. She was not to be touched by anyone but the captain.
She heard the cell door open and saw the blue skinned human man with a scar over one of his yellow eyes and had shaggy red hair came in wearing a white shirt with a black vest and baggy pants with a belt with his sword and gun on it. Captain Marco Graven. The pirate smiled at her as she looked away.
"Well lass, we just docked on the Montressor Spaceport," Captain Marco said.
She didn't dare to say anything. She learned that her smart comments would end up getting herself hurt. But even if she was quiet she would end up hurt.
"Now lass, ta spaceport has a lot of authorities and we don't need to be arrested for those noisy authorities," Captain Marco said with a hiss in his voice. "So that me crew and I don't get arrested we are put ye in a barrel and place the barrels of our with the other barrel we plan on taking. We don't need to let the authorities find Princess Luna. "
"You think I won't scream out for help?" she asked with a glare.
The pirate laughed as he revealed from behind him, rope and a small cloth resting on the barrel she would be placed in. "Ye think I'm stupid enough to leave ye in ta barrel without being tied up."
Luna wasn't surprised that he would plan to do that to her. He would always do that to her if the ship was getting search or he would keep her in his closet of his room. He approached her and lifted her off the floor.
"I'll make a deal with ye lass," Captain Marco said. "If we leave the Spaceport with getting caught, ye can walk around me ship whenever she please. Be a good lass and stay quiet."
Captain Marco began tying her wrist and arm together. She could feel the rope press tightly around her and burn her flesh. Then he began tying her legs together, so she wouldn't kick the barrel. Then finally he shoved a white cloth in her mouth and tied another around her lips. He tied the gag tightly so that she wouldn't try to shake it off. He picked her up and placed her in the barrel. She sat in the barrel with her knees up and her feet touching the bottom of the barrel. He place the lid of the barrel and closed it tightly. She was writhing in the barrel, to see if there was anyway to free herself, but it was no use.
He picked up the barrel and brought it out to the deck. Luna could see from a small hole, everything. She saw the crew getting things out and bring in new ones.
"Take this barrel and put it with the rest," Captain Marco commanded to a giant alien.
The giant alien picked up the barrel she was in and held it above his shoulder. Luna fell on the side of the barrel. The alien walked off the deck and dropped the barrel off with a group of barrels. Luna peeked through the hole and saw more barrels. She didn't see any of the crew or Captain Marco. She knew she had a chance to escape, but she knew she would get caught.
Suddenly, Luna felt herself being lifted up from the ground.
"Hey place those barrels on the ship," an rock alien said. "We are launching soon and we need as much supplies as possible."
Luna knew every voice of the crew, but that wasn't one of them. She stayed quiet because she believed it was a test Marco was doing to her. The barrel was set down on a nice clean deck. She peeked through hole and saw that she was on the wrong ship. She was taken by mistake. This was miracle. She felt her heart racing rapidly. She was hoping that someone might open the barrel to find her and arrest that pirate and his crew. Maybe she would be free from all this pain she was in. But she knew that she may never be able to heal.
She peeked through the hole to see a boy. The boy had short brown hair, looked to be her age and had blue-gray eyes. She couldn't take her navy blue eyes off of him. She saw the crew go up the shrouds to loose the sails. She could feel herself being lifted up in the barrel. Then she fell hard on to the ground. Her head hit the back of the barrel pretty hard. She moaned in pain. She saw the boy going on the shrouds. Then she felt the ship takeoff into space. Far away from the spaceport. Far away from Captain Marco.
She saw the boy admiring the pod of Orcus Galacticus as they passed. She remember when she saw those amazing creatures as a child. Her mother let her touch them if she they got close enough. She knew she had to get out of the barrel. But she need to get the boy's attention, so he could open the barrel and find her.
So this is my second try on a Treasure Planet fan fic. So like always review. I would love to hear your feelings on this story. I love seeing what people think about my stories. I promise the next chapter will be longer. This might be the only short chapter. I don't own anything.
