Chapter 1
"Bastards! Let go of me!" Lovina Vargas yelled, trying to sound tougher than she was. She saw her friends being dragged off as well. Regina Cruz, also known as Rei, was over the shoulder of a tall, blonde man. Rei's cousin, Mariana Vega, was over the shoulder of a short Japanese man. Her sister, Feliciana, was being carried by someone who looked vaguely familiar. In an instant, something was placed over her mouth and she was knocked unconscious.
It had started as any other day. Lovina and Feliciana were going to the market to meet up with their friends. They saw the eccentric pair, looking at the fresh fruits and vegetables. Rei turned and smiled when she saw them. Mariana looked back as well and waved. The two could pass as twins the only difference was that Mariana had black hair. They walked up to the two and looked through the remaining food that was there.
"Uh oh Rei, bastard alert!" Lovina whispered to her friend who turned. A tan skinned man was walking towards them, his hair in a high ponytail. Rei forced a smile on her face and bowed her head as the man came up to her.
"My lovely Regina, you're a breathtaking sight, would you like to take a stroll around the town," He kissed her hand and she blushed. She was never good with affection from men, even if she hated them.
"Miguel, thank you but I was just on my way to the harbor, the ships are supposed to be coming in today," She slipped her hand out of his grip and started to walk forward with the others.
"I shall accompany you," He was persistent and she sighed.
"Very well," The brunette sighed before she took the arm he offered. She sent her friends a pleading look but they just shrugged before following slowly. When they reached the harbor, some of the ships had already started to come in. Lovina narrowed her eyes as one came in that was unfamiliar to her.
"Mariana, do you know what that one is?" She asked the ravenette who shrugged. Suddenly, her eyes widened and she screamed.
"Pirates!" Another random citizen yelled, nearly flattening Feliciana. Miguel faltered before leaving the girls by themselves.
"My hero," Rei monotoned as she crossed her arms. Suddenly, a pirate took each one of the girls, successful in knocking them unconscious.
Now…
Lovina rubbed her head as she remembered what had happened. She looked around wildly when she realized none of the others were around. She opened the door to the room she was in and walked up the stairs. She saw the girls along with their captors. Hers was missing but she could care less. She looked at Rei and blinked in surprise. The girl looked furious, Rei never looked mad, she was a kind, gentle person. She was glaring up at a boy that looked shockingly like her. Lovina moved closer in order to hear them.
"How could you! Both of you, you made me think you were dead!" She yelled at the boy and the blonde. The blonde's eyes softened and he tried to get closer but she pushed him away from her.
"I don't even want to talk to either of you!" She stomped off the deck and completely ignored Lovina.
"What the hell was that about?" She asked Feliciana who was cowering in because of her friend's outburst.
"The boy who captured me is Juan, Rei's brother and the other is her childhood friend Ludwig, apparently they just vanished one day but it turns out they just joined this crew," Mariana answered, glaring at the boys as well. Suddenly, the sound of heavy footsteps alerted everyone on the deck. A group of men came from the lower decks. Lovina had never seen them, meaning they weren't at the kidnapping. Four were blondes, one had silver hair, and two were brunettes.
"What's going on here?" The leader it seemed demanded. Lovina realized this was the man who snagged her.
"Why are we here!" Mariana demanded, narrowing her eyes.
"You're beautiful and we need women to do the work around here," The captain smiled grimly and the girls shivered.
"Stupid pirate bastard! Let us go, just take us back home," Lovina shrieked and he merely chuckled.
"Silly girl, you're aboard the Black Ghost now, there's no getting off," He stated before starting to walk away. She growled but was shocked when she saw Rei coming back on deck. Apparently, she had not gone far and had heard the entire exchange. The brunette picked up a sword and placed it against his back.
"Look, I've had a really bad day, I escaped one complete asshole when you captured me but met two more when I got on this stupid boat, and I'm not about to be some maid for a bunch of filthy pirates nor will I be some prize or eye candy, not just let us go before I really start to get angry!" She stated it deadly calm, making everyone look at her in shock.
"Look woman, no one insults my ship so why don't you put that down before you get hurt," He said and she glared hatefully at him.
"Look Antonio, I'm really pissed off right now so be a good little boy and let us off this damn ship," She said and he looked at her in shock.
"How do you know my name?" He questioned, taking a step closer to look at her.
"Yeah it's me douchebag, you're little sister, not only is my best friend on this ship but my two big bros as well," She said and everyone besides J.C. seemed shocked at this revelation.
"Regina, you've grown…" He said, not seeming to be able to grasp the situation. She scoffed but the sword fell slightly.
"Look, I'll forget this ever happened if you just let us go," She tried to reason but he shook his head.
"No, now that I know who you are, you're not leaving my sight," He said, a final tone in his voice before he walked to the helm.
"Now you play the caring brother card!" She shouted after him but a smile had worked itself on her lips. J.C. came up to her and said something no one else could hear. She nodded and he smiled down at her. When Ludwig tried to approach, she glared harshly at him and went back to her friends.
"So, you're still mad at him?" Mariana questioned and Rei shook her head.
"Nope but it's funny to see him stressing, I'm gonna milk this as long as I can," She winked before she smiled smugly.
"I like this new Rei," Lovina commented and the other girls laughed.
"Well we better make the best of this," Feliciana commented. And so started life on the Black Ghost.
