Not all stories have a happily ever after. Some stories never become the happy ending. Some are tragic some are humors yet others like mine are heartbreaking. All the typical stories have girl finds boy. Boy start to show interest in her and girl couldn't be happier. Then they start to become more then just aquatics and girl can't seem to be able to live one day with out seeing him. He becomes her dream her knight and shining armor. He seems to be crazy about her and they get together. They stay that way for a while then some problems come ahead of them and they can't be with each other. Yet it's not long before they realize that they can't stay away from each other. And thus a happily ever after.

Foolish

Childish

Stupid

I really use to believe in that happily ever after. I was indeed foolish childish and stupid to believe that he could ever love me. My happily Never after. I guess I should blame my stupid weak heart for believing that I could some how reach him. That some how I could change him. How stupid could I be and now I'm hanging here on my death day remembering how he never loved me. How he used me like a useless piece of paper. How he sign away my life for exchange of his. All for that word that has me chained to these iron bars.

Love.

That stupid childish word. That emotion that still runs through my body like a steady poison that promises me a slow painful death. Like a deep hole digging into my soul that shouts forgive him even after what he has done. Even when the tears can no longer run down my face my soul yells for him and him alone. I can no longer feel my arms or legs. I can't longer feel the sharp knife that cuts away at my life. No pain kills this feeling this cursed love of mine. Even now bleeding broken and hollow I can't help myself from thinking if he is happy. I could hear the sentence that is being passed on me as my eyes dropped a bit.

"Red Queen you are hare by ordered to be killed. Your limbs shall be broken then removed off your still living body." The voice stopped as if trying to come though with the words that seems to fail him. "Your tongue will be cut off and your eyes will be ripped out will keeping you alive. And finally your inside will be ripped out and use to hang you by the neck if by some miracle your still alive." His voice sounded like it would break any second as he put his fist to his mouth. Using the strength I had left I lifted my head up to the sky. The clouds in the sky looked were dark purple as they carried with them the waters from the seas that I loved so much. My voice was horse from yelling orders two days ago before I was captured. The blood that had dried in my throat didn't help much either. Yet I could still do it. I could still sing that one song he taught me.

"Through the rain…" came the strange sound out of me as I could feel the looks I was getting "cry the angel's shame…" I remembered that song clearly he sang it to me while held me in his arms promising false words and false hopes. "Uno amor sin pensar…" They brought out the hammer being use to break my legs and arms. Women on the streets cover the eyes of their children. "Loved one hears my call. Loved one you see it all." The rain stated to fall as the cool drops. Let me remember all the time I spent with him let me remember that one breezy day we crossed paths.

Red Queen

The night was silent as the moon rose over the clouds that dare try and cover it. Outside was cold for even the shores of Port. It wasn't normal that such cold reached the shores but then again who could control Mother Nature? A boy looked up at the sky as he looked at the crescent moon fight off the clouds. He was a poor lad not from a wealthy family but he was not miserable he still had his mother and his brother. He was fine with what he had. He had dream of starting a family one day but in the end that was all it was dreams. Dreams that were never destined to come true. He sighed as he looked at the night sky. The breeze passed his face as he shivered a bit.

"Through the rain..." he sang softly as he looked at the clouds "cry the angels Shame..." He hummed the rest of the song as the night seems to take it spell and wrap it around him as he fell asleep. Just as he did else where a figure ran though the shadow as quickly as she could.

"Come on Find her!" came the screaming of a guarded as the figure smiled at the fact that she had managed to escape them. Pulling down the helm of her hood she sneaked through the shadows to the dock where she knew a ship would be leaving soon. Making her steps a silent as possible she ran through the shadows with guards at her heels. Her heels clicked every once in a while as she was almost to the ship. Not paying much heed to where she was stepping on she tripped just as she got to the low fenced bridge. Her feet slipped from the ground and left her air born for a second. Her stomach tightens as she knew that the shallow depth of the channel would meet her. Trying to keep herself from screaming out loud she gave a soft whimper as she fell into the icy waters of the channel.

The water splashed all around as it came to hit the boy in the face as he wake up from his sleep. He rubbed his eyes a bit to take out the sleep as he looked into the channel he was laying next to. In the channel he could see something floating on the water. He strained his eyes to see as he could make out a hand. Panic jolted though him as he did what any good person would do. He dived right into the water. The freezing waters lashed at his skin as he felt around for where he had seen the hand until he grabbed hold to something that felt similar. With a sharp tug he felt a weight fall on top of him crushing his chest for a second or two as he struggled to get the shore. The muck of the channel made it difficult to walk as he pulled on the person that he just rescued.

The cold night air sent uncontrollable shivers down his spine as he got to the shore of channel. Placing the person he had found in the icy waters he could barely make out the persons face as they started coughing and whizzing for air. There was a cut on her check that was bleed profoundly as the boy looked at her.

"Are you alright miss?" he asked as the girl froze for a second her hand was on her bleeding check when she hear the loud chattered the of the guards feet. Taking both hands she shoved the boy away from her and set out in a run. The boy looked suspired as the girl ran off before he could ask anymore questions. Yet he was not left alone for long as two burly men appeared baring the royal uniform. The boy watched them as they came down the slop of the bank and points their spears at his throat.

" You there peasant have you seen a girl about 15 years of age around here?!" they ordered as the boy was about the answer when the moon fought ageist the clouds and shined brightly down where he stood reviling the blood stains that the girl had left behind on his shirt.

"He's covered in blood." Commented the guard to the other. The other noticed something none seem to see before. Bending down he picked it off from the ground and brought it up to the moon light to see it. It shined in the glow of the moon as all three looked at it. "Is that…" the soldier didn't finish his question when the other had the spear tightly on the neck of the boy.

"By order of the King Henry Van Hanaro you are under arrest for the Murder of Sakura Van Hanaro Princess of Port."

Somewhere afar the siren rang though the small city as the boy's fate was sealed that very night.

5 Years later

"I don't care what you do! Find me that blasted hunter!" yelled a woman as her crew looked though out the town for their missing hunter. Karin Hornet was a notorious pirate known through out the land as a murdering black hearted soul. Under her belt alone she had slaughtered more then 3 whole town and ransacked them leaving them as barren waste lands. Her bounty was over 10,000 dead or alive. For our hunter she was his next meal. Hiding silently in the shadows waiting for the right time to come out. A smile trance on his face as he watched the men scatter in search for him. Only a few men covered Hornet as she hissed and yelled every once and while it would be too simple. He put a hand to his hip were he kept his sword as he closed his eyes for a second as he hared his heart in his chest. B-ump, b-ump, b-ump. He was calm as always as he frowned a bit.

"Oh well." His sighed out as he stepped out of the shadows. The light of the lamp above him reflected his well tan chest and gave him a strange heavenly glow. He moved with the grace of any gentlemen as he reached for his sword swiftly as the lamps seem to blow out at his command.

"What on earth?"

"Karin stay…egh!" His sword worked quickly as he slashed though the five men that protected his pray. Grunts and moans where quickly silent as he walked behind Hornet and brought his sword around her neck.

"Did you really think you stood a chance Hornet?" he whispered into her ear as Hornet went rig to the spot. Her blood ran cold in her veins. The cold steel of the sword kissed her neck as she knew that death was breathing down her neck and not the hunter who had got to her.

"You kill her and I will shot." Came a clam voice beside both. The smell of gun powder hung in the air as the hunter smirked at the proceedings.

"She's not your friend so why?" He asked yet his sword kept close to Hornet's neck.

"This traitorous dog belongs to the Red Queen." He informed as he pushed the gun barrel farther in the hunters head. "This is the last time I will warn you give me Hornet and I won't shot."

"It's seem like I have no choice." Said the hunter as he began to lower his weapon while keeping an eye on both. The disappointed look on his face changed so drastically if one would have blink they would have missed how simple he cut Hornets throat clean and also having time to cut the barrel of the gun before the man holding it up to his head could shot it. The man backed away almost instantly as he looked at he hunter.

"Your made a grave mistake this day my friend."

"I will be the judge of that." The hunter said in a plain voice taking no real interest in the man in front of him.

"Expect a visit from the Red Queen." He said before he disappeared though a ally way and was no longer seen as darkness consumed him and hiding him from all pray.

"The Red queen?" He repeated as he picked up his bounty from the ground. "Like I care." he Sighed out as he started to walk over to the pub where he could clam his bounty. Some where far off into the shadows stood the man he had been speaking to not so long ago as he spoke in hushed whispers.

"Are you sure?" asked someone from the shadows

"Yes cut her throat clean with out even so much as flinching."

"Did you get his name?"

"No I didn't and he didn't look like a normal bounty hunter either. Do you think we should tell the Captain, Naruto?"

"No. I'll take care of this." Said Naruto as he patted the man on the shoulder. "You just tell me what he looked like and I'll find him." Said Naruto as a small smile crept on his face. He walked away slowly as the other man looked at him go. The seconded in command was not someone anyone wanted to mess with. And Naruto was by far the most loyal to the Red Queen. He would see to it that this Hunter got what's coming to him. No matter how long it took to hunt him down. Over at the pub the hunter was having an argument with the tender.

"I'll give you 5,000 and no more."

"Her bounty was 10,000." He stated as he really looked like he could careless about the money that was being negotiated.

"Yet she's dead so that drops down to 5,000." The tender stated as he looked over the hollowed voids that the hunter called eyes.

"If I recall correctly the poster stated Dead or Alive. I meet the terms. Now pay up."

"She's worthless Dead. The navy won't give me a good price."

"I don't care you said 10,000." The hunter stated.

"I won't give you a doubloon over 5,000."

"God damn it Jiraiya! You are a stubborn ass." Muttered the hunter as he glared at the tender.

"I told you the deal."

"I should have let the red queen have her. Maybe he'll pay better." The hunter muttered darkly as the Jiraiya's skin got chills at the mention of the red queen.

"Red…Queen?" he asked as the hunter lifted an eyebrow.

"What about it?" he asked as Jiraiya looked over to the window. The pub was empty beside him and the hunter. He bent down a bit as the hunter looked at him.

"Did you mean the Red Queen?" he asked again looked around to make sure that no one would listen to them.

"How many men out there call themselves the Red Queen?" He asked with a dead tone face.

"Did you meet the Red Queen?" Asked Jiraiya as the hunter looked around.

"Where do I leave the dead weight?" he asked looking around for a place to drop his cargo.

"-----, did you meet the Red Queen?" Asked Jiraiya a little more worried. The hunter's eyes narrowed at the mention of that name. He glared at the man in front of him.

"Don't call me by that name." He hissed as Jiraiya stood back. "Give me the 5,000 and I will be on my way." He told him as his cold eyes stabbed into his own. Jiraiya shock his head and went over to the other room to get the reward.

"I'm worried about you." Stated Jiraiya as he came back with the money in a pouch. "You went against the Red Queen and you're still alive to tell it."

"I didn't meet him." He told Jiraiya as he snatched the pouch from his hands

"I gave you 7,000. Look The Red is known to not let anyone alive. The bounty on the head of that pirate not even I can pay."

"I don't give a Damn if the Red Queen is the king of Port." Hissed the hunter.

"Oh but you would." Said Jiraiya as the hunter was about to leave when he stop to hear what Jiraiya had to say. "The bounty on the Red Queen is 1,000,000."

"Doubloons?"

"Pounds in gold."

"One million pounds for this pirate?" asked the hunter unable to believe such a high bounty existed.

"Not Just any pirate this is the Red Queen. He controls an armada of pirate ships not to mention that most of his crew has the highest bounties in the seven oceans."

"Hm." Said the Hunter as he walked out of the pub and out to the night that greeted him. The cool air hit his face as he thought over what he was told. "One million pounds in gold." He repeated as he walked down the small cobbled streets. "Why would one man be worth so much?" he asked himself as he came to a stop by a harbor. He closed his eyes for a second before he turned his head slightly to the left. "I know you're following me."

"You are quite the hunter." Came a male voice from the shadows.

"You're the red Queen?" he asked with a dead tone.

"Red Queen? You honor me to think that I am the Red Queen." He said as he walked out of the shadows. He smiled at the hunter as if they where old friends.

"Then want do you want?"

"I wondered who was the person that Killed Hornet so I came to see."

"Not what you expected?"

"No, not really to tell you the truth." He said with a smiled as he walked in front of the hunter as he kept his impassive eyes on him. "I was expecting a gruffly beefed up guy who looked like he hadn't showed in months. And here you stand a well tone gentleman with a fragrance of mint and pine. No wonder you caught her so easily. " He mused

"The country homes bore me." The hunter said simply as if playing with the other.

"Yet, you're not what you pretended to be." He mused as he sat down on one of the logs on the dock.

"Oh, what makes you say that?"

"You have all the makings of a royal I'll give you that much. Strong chin and cheek bones. Silky ebony hair pulled into a ponytail just above the shoulders while the rest of your hair cascades down your back like a black waterfall. Magnificent your brooded shoulders tell me that you have train most of your lives to have the form you have now. The clothing you wear tells me that you form a high family. The black leather boots on your feet tell me you have quite a bit of money. But what betrays your looks are your eyes. Black eyes something no royal or noble have." He stated as he got up.

"If you're done with this what is it that you really want with me?"

"Your presence." He said simply as he looked at the hunter. "By the way." He spoke softly as he walked over to the hunter's side. "My name is Naruto. Naruto Uzamaki wanted for being a pirate under the law of Port my bounty is of 500,000 in pounds in gold." He said like it was nothing at all.

"Why would you tell me this? Are you looking to die?"

"You wouldn't kill me it's not your style."

"And how you know that?"

"You would have killed me already." He stated

"So what is it that you want?"

"I've told you I just want your presence." He told him as he walked over to him and the hunter's hands quickly went for his weapon. 'Not very trusting are you?"

"Not around humans." hissed the hunter as Naruto chuckled.

"You're a funny man. What is your name hunter?"

"That is nothing you should know."

"You are such a tease you know.' He said with a sigh when he rubbed his hands on his pants fabric. "Well it seems like we're going have to do this the hard way then." He said with a sigh when he hit him on the head before he could move. His head went forward slightly as he felt his eyes rolled behind head. He dropped to the ground like a rock being thrown into a lake.

OOOKAY! I started a new story in request of my smaller sister. (She wanted pirates why I don't know.) Annnnyyy who I have giving you a taste of the story now lets see if you dear readers bite and read more. This story is one of the random things that go around in my head for week before it has to be put to paper before I go nuts. And for once I can say that this story is a clone of one I had written for my own entertainment while I was writing other stories to take me away from fan fiction. This is in the original copy of the the manuscript I change some of the characters around to fit a fan fiction because truly I didn't want to write another Pirate story when I have a perfectly good one already written. To clear up any misunderstanding now.....

The Hunter: well let see he has black hair and black eyes. Hmmmm let's put two and two and get......???

The Red Queen: Okay I tell you straight out you'll find out in the next chapter.

The Tender: Jiraiya! (Why? It seems to fit.)

The MAN with the gun: Will also be reviled in the next chapter.

Hornet: Karin (Why? I just don't like her and she seems like an easy target. Sorry Karin lovers but the woman is on my OH HELL NO list.)

Second In command: Naruto!!! (And another first Naruto in this story is not a bumbling idiot. If you notice he's quite the smooth talker though he will still make you laugh. Someone pointed out to me that I treat the boy horrible in the stories and told me she was going to kick my ass if he didn't have a story where he didn't get physically abused by the main characters. Mental abuse it is them! J/K.)

Wow long Author's Notes huh? Now that I've time to brief you. If I can have at lest 4 reviews for this story I'll give you the second Chapter KAY?

~ till then BWOTN and Batman (the smaller sister. Don't ask why she choose that name I have no clue.)

This is Batman and she is not BWOTN she is my trusty sidekick Robin. ( BWOTN: See madness.)
