SB/Kierra: Why are we doing this one?

Annie: You remember the story that we read that was called "The Pirate Prince" that I now believe has been removed from here since I can't seem to find it anymore?

SB/Kierra: Yeah, so what about it?

Annie: Well this is my version of that story.

SB/Kierra: But that story wasn't finished how are we going to do this one?

Annie: I'll make it up as I go along. We don't own anything except our OC's.

SB/Kierra: (sighs) Enjoy!

Summary: Hillary is a princess and she runs away with her three best friends, Tyson, Mariah, and Catherine; and Rei a new friend they just met; they stowaway on a ship not realizing its a pirate ship, captained by Kai. Kai and his twin sister had runaway when they where 5, fearing for their lives, now they are reunited and must find a treasure that will save their war-torn kingdom, as they find love along the way. R&R please be nice with it. Better than it sounds.


They were royalty, but they didn't like being royalty. Their father was the king and he had killed his own wife, their mother, the queen; right in front of them. He chocked her until she stopped breathing. They were frightened by what they saw and they were afraid of their own father because of what he did to their mother. They wanted to leave the palace, but they didn't know what to do after they left.

They were twins, they both had two tone blue hair and crimson red eyes, but they were male and female, the prince was a three minutes older than his twin sister, the princess. They wore a yin yang necklace; the princess had the yin half of the yin yang symbol and the prince had the yang half of the symbol. Their mother had given them the necklaces and she gave them the nicknames of Yin, the princess and Yang, the prince.

"Let's run away to another kingdom, Yang." Said the five year old princess.

"You want to what?" Yang, the five year old prince asked.

"You heard me, let's leave this place." Yin said.

"But Yin, this is our home and besides where only five years old, how are we to live on our own?" Yang asked.

"I don't care, Kai, I just want out." Yin said using her brother's real name.

"Momma said we are meant to stay together, Cathy." Kai said also using his sister's real name, her full name was Catherine but she was also called Cat or Cathy for short.

"I know that, Kai, but I can't stand staying here any longer. I'm afraid that pappa will kill us if we do stay here. That's why I want to leave this place for good." Cathy said.

"I know how you feel about that. I feel the same." Kai said with a sigh.

"Ferio, you remember what mother said these necklaces mean?" Cathy asked, using another one of her brother's nicknames.

"Yeah, mom said that they are opposites of every thing." Kai answered.

"Good and evil. Black and white. Love and hate. Big and little. Up and down. Well and sick. Hot and cold. Male and female. Life and death. Mother and father. Brother and sister. Together and far apart." Cathy stated.

"What has any of that have got to do with us staying here or not?" Kai demanded.

"It means that even if we are far apart, we will always be together no matter how far away we are from each other." Cathy said knowingly.

"Oh." Said Kai.

"Kai, I promise that one day we will be together again, some day some where, we'll be together again." Cathy stated.

"Are you sure, Presea?" Kai asked using another one of Cathy's nicknames as well.

"Yes." She said.

"Okay, I promise we will be together again one day as well." He said.


Later that night Cathy packed a bag of things and tacked up her pony, a liver chestnut, named Jojo. She rode away from the palace not looking back once; she didn't have to worry about the guards stopping her from leaving the palace. She rode out of the kingdom that was her home for the past five years, and she rode into the neighboring kingdom that was the opposites her home kingdom.

In this kingdom she saw that everyone seemed happy and it looked like that the Rulers of this kingdom where kind, gentle, and loving towards their people; where her father was the opposite. She rode through the market place and then she realized that she hadn't eaten anything at all that day; she had eaten everything that she had packed when she was getting ready to leave her home. So she got off Jojo and led him towards a fruit seller's stall and went to grab an apple when the seller caught her by the arm.

"And what do you think you're doing, little miss?" he asked her.

"I just wanted something to eat; I haven't eaten anything yet to day and I have no money." Cathy said.

"If you have no money and you take something then that's stealing." The fruit seller said.

"Please kind Sir, like I said I have not eaten, I ate all the food I was able to pack, and have no money, I ran away from home because I couldn't stand living there anymore. Please, let me have something to eat." Cathy said looking up at the fruit seller with big sad pleading eyes.

The fruit seller softened and let go of her arm and put some fruit and a loaf of bread into a basket and covered it with a piece of cloth and gave to her as he said "Here, take this. It has some fruit and some bread in it for you to eat."

"Thank you, kind Sir. Thank you." Cathy said as she took the basket and just as she started to walk away she was stopped by an eighteen year old teenager.

"I couldn't but over hear what you said to the fruit seller about you running away from your home and not having any money. I think I can help you with that." She said.

"What do you mean?" Cathy asked.

"How would you like to come live with me?" the eighteen year old asked.

"I'd like that." Cathy said with a smile.

"What is your name anyway?" the eighteen year old asked as they walked away from the fruit seller's stall.

"Catherine, Cat or Cathy for short. What is yours?" Cathy replied.

"Virginia. How old are you Catherine?" Virginia asked.

"Five." Said Cathy.

"Why did you leave your home, Catherine?" asked Virginia.

"I don't want to talk about it." Cathy said sadly as she looked away since the memory of her mother's death was still fresh in her memory.

Virginia heard the sadness in Cathy's voice and wisely did not question her further on the subject of why she left her home. They walked on and Virgina led her to the palace and told a shocked Cathy that she was a servant who worked for the royal seamstress and her mistress had given her a list of items that she needed, and that was why she was in the market in the first place.


Virginia called to a stable boy that she knew and had him take Jojo to the stables and Cathy took her bags from her pony's back and followed Virgina into the palace and back were to the royal seamstress worked. Virginia told her mistress, a woman named Maya, how she met Cathy and Cathy took one look at Maya and remembered her mother.

"Why did you leave your home Catherine?" Maya asked her.

"Momma." Cathy said sadly before she started to cry as she thought about her dead mother.

"Shh. It's okay it's alright." Virgina whispered softly as she knelt and pulled Cathy into a hug and held her.

"It seems that something happened to her mother and that is the reason why she left home." Maya said sadly.

"She might have thought you looked like her mother, Maya." One of the other servants spoke up.

"Maybe." Maya said as Cathy stopped crying.

"What's the matter little one? Did something happen to you mother to make you leave?" Maya asked her gently.

"Yes. Pappa killed mother, Yang and I watched him do it." Cathy said sadly before she dug around in her bag and pulled out a photo of her mother, without a crown on, and showed it to Maya and she and Virgina saw that the woman in the photo bore a strong resembles to Maya.

"Who's Yang?" Virgina asked Cathy.

"My twin brother." Cathy told them as she showed them her half of the yin yang necklace that she had.


A little while later Cathy was introduced to the king and queen of the kingdom she had gone to and they saw that she knew how to act when meeting royalty and Cathy said that her mother had taught her. Maya took Cathy in under her wing and raised her, Cathy thought of Maya as a foster mother and she thought of Virgina as an older sister and Virgina treated her like a little sister. Cathy soon came to love her new home and her new foster family; five years later when Cathy was only ten years old she made a beautiful dress for a noble woman and it was the talk of the party that she went to wearing it.

Cathy had made some new friends in her new home, one was the king and queen's daughter, a ten year old girl named Hillary and her two friends whose parents where nobles, and they where also ten years old, one was a boy named Tyson and the other was a girl named Mariah. The four became friends and Hillary, Tyson, Mariah, and Cathy pulled pranks on people and the one time that Cathy, Hillary, and Tyson got caught, Maya gave Cathy a spanking and took her sowing things away and sent her to her room for three hours. Of course that prank the three of them pulled was dumping some food on to a noble woman, the lady was furious with the three of them, of course they had only been eight years old at the time and since then Cathy always stopped short of doing something like what they did when they were eight years old again not wanting to repeat the punishment she had gotten.

When Cathy was sixteen years old she was asked to be her friend Hillary's maid and she said yes. All of Hillary's other maids where far older than they were and had no sense of humor, according to Hillary that is. Cathy was Hillary's maid for two years when suitors came to the palace to win Hillary's heart. She had to be married by the end of her eighteenth year according to her parents. Hillary had a fun time getting rid of her suitors, she wanted to marry someone who she loves with her heart, and she didn't love any of the suitors that came to see her.
