-Prologue-


"Your Majesties!" The Captain called out through the loud thunder claps and the crashing waves. "Please go take cover under the deck! It's dangerous!"

1723
One stormy night…at Sea

Waves crashed and thunder claps accompanied continuously by the harsh rain that fell from the dark, angry clouds. The decked rocked back and forth violently as the men on deck had trouble standing and controlling their movement.

"Go now!" The Captain screamed as a ginormous wave formed as tall as the deck and was ready to crash.

The family in noble clothing scurried away as quickly as they can towards the doors that will lead them safely below deck. The Father of this family guided his wife and children along, staying a feet behind them to ensure their guidance. "Quickly…quickly!" He murmured frantically.

The Mother, worried and scared, held onto her child's hand tightly as they hurried. She only tried thinking about the feeling her Husband's reassuring hand on her back. The deck rocked slightly, causing their child to trip.

"Ah!" The little girl gasped, slipping on the wet deck.

"Quickly!" The Captain yelled again from across the deck, helping his crew with the sails.

"Stand up, sweetheart!" The Mother gasped, helping the 7 year old up. "We must go!"

As the girl stood and followed her Mother's instructions, they soon reached the door that lead them below.

"Where's Papa?" The 7 Year old yelled as loud as she could over the sound of the waves that overpowered her voice. She and her Mother looked behind them at the man who was now across the deck with the crew.

"Go ahead down!" He yelled. "I'm going to help them! Go on below where it's safe!"

"Watch out!" The Mother yelled as she caught sight of the wave that was going to crash on the crew from the right.

It was too late to dodge. The waves crashed and the crew screamed, crouching as a normal human instinct and the Mother pushed the child against the wall lightly, shielding her, the child staring up at the scared Mother.

As soon as the wave cleared, the Mother looked behind her to see the screw scattered on the deck, whipped out a little by the wave. They all were groaning in pain. The Father was against the deck side, one arm up to hoist himself up. He looked up at his family and breathlessly yelled, "I'm okay! Just go!"

"Be careful!" The Mother yelled desperately. "Please!"

The Father nodded and went around helping the the crew back on their wobbly feet to catch control of the ship again.

"Misaki, let's go!" The Mother murmured looking down at her child, cupping her cheeks and staring at those large amber eyes.

The Mother quickly guided her child down and before she closed the door, she looked back at her yelling Husband, running around the deck. She closed the door and ran down the little steps to her daughter.

She took her child's hand and took her to a corner where they cuddled up, warm yet cold. Small Misaki gazed up at her Mother's face, which was starting to get wet from her tears.

Immediately, Misaki looked around them and started to feel an empty feeling as she listened to distant roaring waved from above. She moved her small hands and she knew what was missing.

"Mama…!" Misaki whispered, her eyes full of fear.

"What's the matter?"

"Where's Suzuna?" Misaki yelled.

Comprehension flickered across the Mother's face and soon, realization and fear. She gasped, "Oh no…! No!"

The Mother, without hesitation, stood up quickly and ran towards the door that lead out of their safety. The Mother nearly slipped on her long, damp dress but that was fine. Determination made her continue. Violent tears covering her face.

As soon as she opened the door, an angry gush of wind came through along with little spits of rain.

"What's the matter?!" Misaki heard her Father scream. "Go back inside!"

"Where's Suzuna?!" She yelled at the top on her lungs. "She's not with us!"

"What?!" He yelled, sudden anxiety taking over him as he ran away from the crew to go look around, yelling their second daughter's name over and over again. "Suzuna! Suzuna!"

Little Misaki stood up and stumbled over to her Mother who stood in the same spot, sobbing into her hands.

Misaki grabbed her Mother's dress and tugged gently. The Mother looked down at Misaki. "Is Suzuna going to be okay?"

The Mother quickly whipped her tears and crouched down at Misaki, "It's fine. Your Father will find her. Don't worry!"

"Suzuna…!" Misaki began to tear up as she looked out on the deck, looking at the crew and her Father running around in the heavy rain, looking for her sister. Misaki looked back at her Mother, who had the look in her eyes that she didn't want to lose anyone.

With all her strength, Misaki wriggled out from her Mother's tense hands and out onto the deck.

"Misaki, no! Misaki!" The Mother yelled, trying to catch her runaway daughter. "Misaki! Come back here! It's dangerous!"

"I want to find Suzuna too!" Misaki said bravely. "She's my sister!"

"Misaki, what are you doing out here?!" Misaki heard her Father yell from the top deck. "Go back!"

"No! I will find Suzuna! She's my sister a-"

"Help!" A very distant and squeaky voice screamed from above. Everyone looked up at the scream. With little gasps from everyone, they spotted the little missing child at the age of 5.

"Suzuna!" The family yelled as they saw the little arm sticking out from the basket at the top of the pole to indicate her presence.

"Dear lord!" The Mother screamed, immediately running out on the deck. "How did she get up there?!"

Shaking, Misaki tugged on her Mother's dress as her words shook, "I-I'm sorry. It's my fault, Mother! Me and Suzuna were playing Hide and Seek and- and…!"

"Hide and Seek?" The Father questioned. "Here? On a ship? Out in the sea?"

"We were bored." Misaki confessed. "I'm sorry!"

The Father sighed. "It's fine..it's fine! Just- we just need to figure out how to get her down from there safely!"

Misaki bowed her head as she listened to her Father screaming at the crew to figure out a way to get Suzuna down, feeling a guilt that it was her fault that Suzuna was up there. Misaki looked up at the ginormous pole and thought.

She looked up at her Mother.

"Don't worry, Misaki? We'll get her down." She assured.

"Mama...I'm going to get Suzuna down!" Misaki said confidently as she smiled enthusiastically.

"...Misaki?" The Mother said, fear and suspicion building.

Misaki once again, ran away from her Mother and towards the pole and grabbing a small rope attached to the role with her little hands.

"Misaki! Stop!" The Mother yelled, reaching her hands out. "That's dangerous! Get off!"

"Misaki!" Her Father yelled as well.

"It's my fault that Suzuna's in trouble! I will fix it!" Misaki yelled back, her small and high-pitched voice was powerful . Grasping rope by rope, Misaki pulled herself up, hesitating slightly at every gust of wind that tried to push her down.

"Make sure to catch her if she falls!" Misaki heard her Father ordering the crew.

Minutes passed and then another few minutes and finally, Misaki was up. Ducking through the hole that lead her to the basket at the top, Misaki poked her head inside to see a little wet girl shivering in a space.

"Suzuna!" Misaki gasped happily as she pulled herself in.

"Onee-chan!" Suzuna sobbed, grabbing Misaki's hand to help her in. As soon as Misaki got in, she pulled Suzuna in for a huge embrace.

"Suzuna! I'm so glad you're okay!" Misaki exclaimed. "I'm so sorry!"

Suzuna cried, burying her head in against Misaki, shivering from the coldness.

"Misaki!" Her parents called from below. "Is Suzuna okay?!"

Misaki pulled away slightly, looking over the basket and to below where her parents looked up them, desperate.

"She's fine!" Misaki informed. Misaki watched them sigh in relief and little smiles lite their face. It was short-lived as the ship tilted to the side a little. Misaki and Suzuna gasped as Misaki lost her balance a little.

"Misaki!"

"I-I'm fine!" Misaki called, going back into the basket with Suzuna. Suzuna wrapped her little arms around Misaki.

"Onee-chan…!" she shivered. "I'm scared…"

Misaki gently stoked her damp head. "It's okay. We will get down from here safely. We just have to trust Mama and Papa."

"What if we don't?"

"Suzuna! How could you say that? Of course everything will be okay!" Misaki exclaimed, her mind was hoping everything would. She just couldn't help but feel that insecurity.

Suzuna nodded slightly, trusting Misaki's words.

"Misaki! Suzuna!" Their Father yelled from below.

Misaki stood up on her knees and looked below, Suzuna as well.

"Look," Their Father pointed at the crew, who were carrying a net and stretching it out so that it was big enough to catch them as they fall. "We will catch you! Just jump into the net!"

Misaki looked down at Suzuna and held onto her as the ship tilted again.

Suzuna screamed. Misaki hushed her and stroked her damp hair again and she slowly stood up. "We should jump."

"But I'm scared." Suzuna said, biting her lips.

"It's okay! Papa will catch us!" Misaki said, pointing to the net. "We need to get down so that we can be safe!"

"Misaki! Suzuna!" Their Father yelled as their Mother gasped loudly, looking over at the ocean. "There's a huge wave coming! You have to jump now!"

Misaki and Suzuna looked at the ocean as well. They were right. There was a huge wave beginning to form in the distance, rolling and forming as it came closer to the ship.

The crew bellow began to yell up at them to jumped.

CRACK!

The terrifying noise made everyone freeze and shiver.

"The pole!" The Captain yelled. "It's breaking!"

"What?!" Their Father screamed, eyeing the bottom.

Suzuna and Misaki screamed in shock as they felt a sudden shake and slight drop of the pole. Misaki began to panic as she looked back and forth between her scared little sister and the ginormous wave.

"We have to jump, Suzuna!" Misaki yelled over the angry wind. "We don't have a choice! One of us will have to jump!"

Suzuna looked up at Misaki shakily. "Can't we both?"

"No. One first and then the other." Misaki said. "You'll jump first Suzuna."

"Onee-chan-"

Their Mother screamed from below as the pole tilted a little more. "Misaki! Suzuna! Hurry!"

"Suzuna! You have to!" Misaki yelled as she looked over at the sudden large wave that started to hover over them. "Suzuna!"

"Onee-chan! Wait- But, it's scary." She cried.

"Suzuna!" Their Father yelled. "Come on sweet-heart! Quickly!"

"Misaki!" Their Mother screamed as the wave was now completely hovering over the ship. Misaki and Suzuna stared up at the wave, the darkness casted by the wave was completely terrifying. Misaki saw the terror and danger now.

"Suzuna...trust me and forgive me!" Misaki whispered loud enough for Suzuna to hear as she reached out for her.

"Onee-ch-"

Misaki, with all her strength, took Suzuna by the waist and picked Suzuna up and over the basket with all her might and effort. Suzuna's little body went over the basket and Misaki stared into Suzuna's eyes and smiled.

"I love you, Suzuna!" Misaki yelled as she dropped Suzuna down below to their parents.

She knew why she had said that...because, it was too late for herself to jump and get saved. Misaki look at the wave that was now getting closer and closer to her. Misaki stared in horror…but she saw it coming. She looked below at her parents one last time before the wave completely toppled the pole over towards the sea.

"MISAKI!" Her parents and well as Suzuna yelled over and over again but was soon muted when Misaki was pushed off the basket by the strong waters and her small body slammed into the ocean.

Closing her eyes and not bothering to take a breath, Misaki was prepared for what will happen next. Slowly opening her eyes, she looked around her...there was nothing but darkness under the sea. It was completely dark except for the ginormous pole floating beside her.

Dark...and silent...only the soft hushing whispers of the water around her could be heard.

Misaki looked at the dark figure of the bottom of the ship and she knew that her family was calling out for her.

Her Father screaming at the crew to save her, her Mother crying and crying violently and Suzuna, probably confused as of to why Misaki hasn't came up from the waters yet.

At least...I saved Suzuna…Misaki thought to herself, closing her eyes and preparing for her slumber.


The Next Morning

Her eyes slowly opening, the brunette groaned, her high pitched voice strained as she coughed and coughed until her throat was free of water so she could now breathe.

She clenched her little fist and felt sand and water together. She stared at the sand until her eyes focused on the small grains falling from her hand.

Slowly, the little girl pushed herself up, water dripping from her dress as she did so. Groaning, she tried to adjust herself from the bright light of the day.

Her head was now spinning, she touched her head and squinted in pain. "Ugh…"

The little girl flinched as she heard a couple of steps headed her way. She looked up to see a few men in black and rough clothing, a few with eye patches and a gold tooth and one of them, a hook to replace his hand.

Misaki stood up slowly and cautiously. She was staring at each of the chuckling, strange men as she took a step back.

"Why, Hello there." One of them said, his voice was rough yet soft.

She didn't say anything, she was only confused and hesitant. Most of all, scared. She flinched as she stood. As she did so, she felt a small stinging pain on her knee.

One man narrowed his eye on her knee and the first one who spoke to her, said, "Isn't it good manners to say 'Hello' back, miss?"

"H-" the little brunette just couldn't seem to find her voice, She coughed again and then spoke, her throat now felt smooth. "H-Hi…"

"What's your name?" He asked, smiling.

The little girl stood there for a moment, thinking. Name...?

"I...I don't know."
