Snow White and Rose Red-Chapter 1: The Story Past Pt.1

Hello there, to you all.

My name is Riku and I live with my younger sister Olivia. She can be a handful sometimes, since we live on our own. We used to have a mother, father, a brother and three other sisters, but there not here right now.

See there was an incident involving pirates a couple of years ago. A gang of pirates raided our town and tried to kill all the townspeople in it.

Me and Olivia were just getting ready for bed when this happen. . . .

~le backwards time warp~

Shouts and screams were heard as I woke up from sleeping. The sounds were almost like shrills and wails as I quickly got up and got dressed as fast as I could. I put on my undergarments as one my maids, quickly came into my room and helped me put on the rest of my clothes.
When the last skirt of the heavy dress was put on, the first thing I did was tell my maid to get my mother and father as I went to my sister's room.

I went as fast as I could, but I couldn't go very fast, due to this stupid dress. And this is why I hated wearing dresses, they made me so damn slow. I barged into Olivia's, my sister's room, as I quickly woke her up. She started getting fussy as I hurried her to wake up faster.

"Sis, wake up! We gotta go, now!" I urged her as her eyes snapped open. Her eyes were wide with fear as she quickly got dressed with some help from me.

Then we raced to get out of there . . .

As we ran as fast as we could, I couldn't help but think of the strange dream I had while I was sleeping . . .

A red coated pirate with blond hair and emerald eyes, pointing a cutlass. . .
That same blond haired, emerald eyed pirate wearing a red coat, fighting another pirate with silvery white hair and red eyes . . .

It all seemed strange to me as I shook the thought out of my mind and only thought about getting my sis out of there.
We almost made it out of the hallway, when a strangled group of pirates spots us.

I was shocked on how they even got in here, not mention on what they did to the guard that stood outside our house.
One of them looked at us with a hunger in his eyes, as I pushed Olivia behind me. I could feel her starting to shake as I tried to think of a way for us to escape.
I looked around and spotted an iron rail-stick that was sitting by the wall. It wasn't much, but it would have to do . . .

I quickly motioned for Olivia to go to the wall and she did, as I picked up the iron rail-stick and held it in a fencing guard position.

"Looky here lads! This wench think's she's got spunk." One of the pirates said as he pointed at me. The rest of them grinned as they started getting closer to us, but I didn't move an inch, waiting for them to make the first move. Olivia and I had been taught how to fence and fight, but we had never been able to use it in a real fight . . .
Until now.

"Here goes nothing. . ." I thought as one of the pirate's charged at me. Olivia let out a scream as I blocked it with the iron rail-stick. It felt really heavy, trying to hold it up against his sword, but I used the iron-rail to push his sword back and send the heaviness back at him.

He let out a grunt as he attacked again, and again I blocked him, keeping up my defense. I waited for an opening that he would give away . . .
When he did, I struck him hard with the iron-rail, making it smack hard against him. When he went down, another pirate came at me and attacked. I kept defending and attacking, trying to buy some time until help could arrive.

One of the pirates was getting close to Olivia, trying to sneak up on her from behind.

"Stay the hell away from my sister, you bastard!" I screamed at him as I ran over to her and whacked him hard to get him away from her, sending him flying.

"Riku!" Olivia cried out as she hugged me, tears streaming down her face. I dropped my weapon and embraced my sister, trying to comfort her. As I was hugging my sister, I didn't notice the pirate that I had knocked down had gotten up and was ready to attack me from behind.

"Damn wench!" I heard a voice hiss at me as I turned around as Olivia's face was wide with fear. I held her close to be, to protect her from harm, closing my eyes tight, waiting for death to come for us. . .

When a single gunshot was heard.

I opened my eyes slowly and saw the pirate just standing there. He didn't move for a few seconds as he then, dropped dead in front of our feet. I backed my sis away from him, so he wouldn't get close to her.

"Who fired that shot?" One of the pirates shouted as another shot was heard and another pirate fell dead on the ground.

"I did."

The voice was coming from the doorway of our mansion as me and Olivia both turned to see who had fired those shots and saved us.
I gasped in horror at who it was, blinking my eyes, to try and see if I was dreaming or not.

It was a pirate wearing a blood red coat, with platinum blond hair and emerald green eyes. Smoke came out of the rim of his handgun as he blew it away, then giving us a smirk.

My throat felt like there was a lump in it as I tried to speak. I couldn't even say one word as I stared at him, like I was hypnotized or something.

"Riku…." Olivia whimpered as she held onto my hand, tightly. "I'm scared…"

Hearing her voice, brought me out of my hypnotic trance, as I squeezed her hand back. "It's ok, sis." I told her as I found my voice to speak.

"It's you. . ." I said, trying to get the red-coated pirate's attention. He must have heard me, coz now he turned his emerald eyes on me and Olivia.

"I know who I am, but how do you know me lass?" He asked me as I found myself unable to answer. After a few seconds, I answered his question.

"I just know, ok? I just knew you would be coming here. . ." I said, feeling almost like an idiot at the moment. But the red-coated pirate just continued to stare at us, his smirk turning into a grin.

"Really now? You 'Just' know? Well, then . . ." He pulled out a cutlass as I felt a shiver at the sight, keeping my sister close to me. "I would like to know more on how you knew I was coming. . ." He looks at the pirates that are still living as he pointed his cutlass at them.

"After I kill all these sorry sea-curs first!" He said, his voice getting a little darker as he attacked the first pirate that was in his way.
