My fingers ghosted over the strings of the guitar as I lost myself in the music I created. The bar scene was one I was used to even if it was still a shock to the system after being unceremoniously dropped onto the beach of this somewhat warm island in the north blue by a rather bitchy woman in gold. It had been close to six months and I was still trying to get over the fact I was finally free of those bigoted assholes back in magical britain all because of someone who hated me pushed me through the veil. The thought made me want to smile, but I pushed it away as I continued to sing.
Law walked into the bar his crew had chosen and almost immediatly stopped upon hearing the singing voice.
It's been years
Since I've seen a face around here
I was broken and alone
In that hell I called my home
Law's eyes went to the white haired beauty with the almost melancholy voice sitting on the stage.
You always choose to stay
Spend your nights keeping me away
You think you stand a chance to last
Against the ghosts of your past?
Her eyes were half-lidded, but he could see the spark of emerald green. How could a human have such gem-like eyes?
It's been years
Since I've seen a face around here
I was broken and alone
In that hell I called my home
Should have left me to decay
Finding me was your worst mistake
And I've found my new obsession
Now it's just you and me.
Her lips turned into a ghost of a smile as her eyes seemed to focus on his.
You turn away
I'll be right beside you
You cut me off
But I'll always have another way to find you
My body's still mending
You're in for a sight.
He noticed the scars that ran across her face. They told a story of someone who'd been through hardships.
Another night but it doesn't get easy
Because you're stuck picking up all the pieces
That they salvaged
No matter what the ending
You won't last the night.
He moved towards a seat as Bepo placed a hand on his shoulder. He didn't take his eyes off the woman.
I hear you breathing in your room
Now don't you panic
It'll all be over soon
And you can play your little games all day
You'll never be free.
Her voice struck something deep inside of him.
You block me out all you want
But I hear the sound
The echo of a "hello"
I'll come back around.
She seemed fragile, yet as her eyes opened; he knew she wasn't.
You turn away
I'll be right beside you
You cut me off
But I'll always have another way to find you
My body's still mending
You're in for a sight.
They gleamed with a fire that seemed to call to him.
Another night but it doesn't get easy
Because you're stuck picking up all the pieces
That they salvaged
No matter what the ending
You won't last the night.
The woman's eyes seemed to lock on his own.
(2x)No happy ending
Will ever find you
All of these ghosts are
From deep inside you.
It seemed as if he couldn't rip his eyes away from her.
You turn away
I'll be right beside you
You cut me off
But I'll always have another way to find you
My body's still mending
You're in for a sight.
Why?
Another night but it doesn't get easy
Because you're stuck picking up all the pieces
That they salvaged
No matter what the ending
You won't last the night
(You won't last the night)

Her voice hung in the air and the bar was quiet for a few moments before suddenly cheers filled the air.
I leaned against the wall with a glass of vodka in hand and watched the patrons move about. The bartender looked over at me and murmured, "The one in the corner among those boiler suited men is looking at you."
I turned my head and caught those interesting grey eyes. I smirked at the man and raised my glass to him before turning back to the bartender, "He's hot."
"He's a pirate," The bartender drawled out.
"So?" The bartender frowned at me, "Mark. He's hot,"
"I agree, but you should stay away from pirates sweetheart," The bartender warned, "They never bring anything good,"
"Yet I find myself disagreeing," I downed my vodka and held out my glass, "Pirates bring adventure and I'd rather like an adventure,"
I found a glass being handed to me and offered the man a smirk. He gave me an answering one, "You have an amazing voice."
"And you are hot, Mr. Pirate," I took the glass as he chuckled, "May I ask why you bought me a drink?"
"I wished to start a conversation," He replied as I lifted the glass to my lips, "What is your name?"
"It's rude to ask for ones name when you haven't given your own," I pointed out, "Though I'll forgive you because of the drink," I took a sip and hummed softly, "The names Raven,"
"An odd name for someone with hair like yours," He pointed out, "My name is Trafalgar Law,"
I offered the man a smile and held out my hand. He took it in his and brought it up to his lips. I resisted the urge to shiver at the sparks came from the contact, "A pleasure to meet you."
"The pleasure is all mine," Warm breath tickled the back of my hand as soft lips caressed the skin there, "Might I inquire how such a person like you ended up in a bar like this?"
"I owe the owner a debt," I answered and took my hand away, "And you?"
"My crew chose this place," He seemed slightly annoyed.
"Dislike bars?" I asked with a slightly amused smile.
He snorted and shook his head, "I would prefer it if they wouldn't spend so much money on conquests that they'll either end up forgetting or end up failing to get."
I giggled softly at the dry tone. Law smirked at me, "You are an interesting man."
"And you are an interesting woman," He replied.
