Chapter 1: Caught

You've got to be kidding me. I'm totally going to kill her! Erisa thought to herself as she looked down at her cuffed hands in defeat.

Why does she always not listen to what I say! She thought to herself as she took a look around the dark gloomy prison for her best friend, but it was so dark that she couldn't see anything, when all of a sudden she heard someone coming near her cell.

"Well, well, Princess I hope that you've had time to say your goodbyes 'cause you know what my orders are?" The nasty looking pirate said to her as he flashed Erisa a nasty grin.

"I've told you my name is not 'Princess'," Erisa said staring back with as mean of a stare that she could possibly manage, not even wanting to look at him.

"My orders are that you're coming with me Princess, to main deck where the Captain has set up a little party just for you," the nasty pirate answered totally ignoring Erisa's previous statement as he started to unlock her cell door.

Erisa's mind raced as she desperately tried to think of a plan to escape. The pirate grabbed her roughly as he pulled her out of the dark cell and started dragging her out the prison. Erisa tried her best to kick and escape the pirate's grasp, but he had her in an iron grip.

Uh! Why do things like this always have to happen to me!? Erisa thought to herself as she recalled the events that got her thrown on the Hell Hounds pirate ship in the first place.

~Earlier in the day~

"Damn it to hell! How does this teenage brat manage to keep winning?!" One of the few hundred angry men in the bar said in a rage as he pointed towards Victoria. Erisa's best friend had once again taken another man's money.

"Well, I just practice a lot," Victoria said, grinning as she ran her hand through her blonde hair as she looked up at the angry man who stormed off in a fit of anger.

"Ok Victoria, I think this is enough. We shouldn't push our luck," Erisa reminded her best friend nervously.

"I mean, it's only a matter of time before they catch on that you're cheating," Erisa said, looking at a grinning Victoria

"Yeah, you are probably right Erisa," Victoria said as she smiled at her.

"Aren't I always?" Erisa said grinning as she picked up the pile of money on the table.

Gambling was something that Erisa and Victoria did when they were bored out of their minds or when they wanted something but didn't have enough money. Though Victoria actually sucked pretty bad, so Erisa was always the one who would tell her what moves to make and look at the other guys' cards and tell her what to do. Since she had been the type to not want to do those sort of things herself. Which meant that they were cheating in order to win. Though Erisa was just glad that everyone they would play with in the bar was either drunk, or just too stupid to figure it out.

Erisa had known Victoria ever since they were little, and they were total opposites. Erisa had a tall slender built with dark brown hair which she kept in loose curls that would go a little past her shoulders. Victoria was taller than her, had blonde hair, and a freakishly large chest which always made her popular with the boys. That and, unlike Erisa who was always tended to be shy around guys she thought were attractive, Victoria would just flirt away. Their parents had been best friends, so when Erisa's parents passed away they were the ones who took her in. Though most people were shocked that they did due to the fact that Victoria had three older sisters who her parents thought were the world . But they never really paid any attention to her or Victoria, which had always made Erisa feel bad since she knew that this made Victoria feel especially bad.

Though even with all of that going on, Erisa never saw her get depressed or anything which was something she admired in her best friend.

Just as they were about to leave the bar, they heard a group of nasty looking pirates walk over to them as they slammed their hands against the table, making Erisa and Victoria glare up at them.

"Mind if we have a quick game Princess?" One of the nasty men said as he looked over at Erisa and flashed a grin.

"My name is not 'Princess'," Erisa said as she repeated what the man said in a mocking tone, making his eyes light up in anger before turning his eyes towards Victioria.

"Well, how 'bout it?"

"You're on," Victoria said, making Erisa's eyes widen in shock.

What in the world is she doing? Does she not realize that they are part of the Hell Hound Pirates?! Erisa thought to herself as she watched Victoria deal the cards.

The Hell Hound Pirates were the most hated Pirates on the island. They were cruel and were known to just shoot people on site, if they had a problem with them. Even though most of them seemed pretty weak, Erisa still had an uneasy feeling.

And that was when it happened. It happened so quick that Erisa could barely remember the whole thing. First everything was going fine, then next thing Erisa knew, one of the pirates caught her cheating and was sent into an angry rage. Or well, she hadn't of been caught in the action but apparently they had already known before the game even started that they cheated to win games. Since a group of the Hell Hound Pirates played against Erisa and Victoria last week who were supposedly "the best". Then right when they lost the game, they had heard a rumor that Erisa and Victoria were winning by cheating and that was why these Hell Hound Pirates had challenged them, to see if it was true. So all of a sudden the pirates had attacked them, knocking first Victoria then Erisa herself unconscious.

~End of Flash Back~

Erisa cringed in pain as he roughly threw her across the top deck. The sun shone brightly, making her frown up her eyes, until they focused on the daylight. She looked in front of her in horror as she saw a sea of burly men gathered on the main deck, grinning and howling at her.

"Erisa!" She heard Victoria's voice yell as she turned to see her friend also in cuffs, though quite a distance away from her.

"Victoria! You okay!?" Erisa yelled over the loud voices of the whole crew. When just before she could hear Victoria's reply, the crew went silent. They started making a path as the captain slowly made his way towards Erisa, making her heart pound faster with every step. Until he finally stood right in front of her.

"Well, well, I've heard so much about you and your little friend over there," he said as he flashed her such a nasty grin that it made Erisa want to gag.
