Law/OC
She had to escape, she absolutely had to escape at any cost. She couldn't believe how she got in such a shitty situation… vulnerable at the mercy of that dirt bag. And despite all those nice words and promises, he couldn't stop the freakish spell from happening. Even with that monstrous haki of his, it happened so fast he couldn't help her!
Now lock-up in a cage in the bottom of Blackbeard's ship, she at least had the comfort of knowing this stain of humanity didn't actually know who she truly was. For the world, she was kotei akai ojo (Imperial red princess) it came from the fact that her captain kept calling her princess… For a good reason at least; for Shanks the Yonko and his closest nakamas, she was the one and only daughter of the red hair pirate. After all, she did look like him when you took the time to stare and compare. She didn't have the same deep red color in her hair, hers being more of a flashy cooper tone. She had freckles everywhere too and even when she spent hours in the sun she wouldn't get tan, unlike her father who stayed a day out and turned black… But she had his eyes, a pale brown… so pale it appears grey at times.
Elie looked at the very simple lock closing the cage et groan with frustration while looking at her white paws… Right… remember the spell mentioned earlier? Blackbeard had apparently recruited a guy who could turn people into animal… literally. She hadn't been able to look at her reflection, but she believed she was transformed into some kind of big husky. Her fur was thick and white on her paws and belly, and her back was the same copper color has her hair. Not to forget the fluffy curved tail.
At least she could annoy her captors… Elie threw back her head howling loudly, it seemed to have come to her instinctively. She stopped with a certain satisfaction when one of the crew member came down the stairs while cursing. She growled menacingly at the man before howling some more.
"Enough, you filthy dog! We wanted to try and sell you but if you keep being like this we are throwing you overboard." The man threatened.
She tried mimicking that she had to pee, having a tiny hope he would open the door. He just stood there a moment and she was pretty sure he was going to tell her that she was a dog and could do her business as one. But… to her biggest surprise…. That idiot! OPENED the door!
As soon as the lock was off she bolted for the exit pushing the stinking pirate down. Climbing the stairs, she was surprise by her own speed. Being a dog somehow made her faster? Or maybe it was just an impression. She got on the main deck in seconds, her tongue out and adrenaline making her fur stand on ends. If only she could find the devil fruit user and beat him up, it would probably reverse the spell.
But as her luck would have it that day, before she even got to start her search, a loud alarm rang through the ship. Elie had to take a decision that would eventually cost her a lot of her dignity but at least she'd live. Anyway, her father had her Vivrecard, he would find her quickly.
She jumped over the railing and into the sea. The cold water was biting her skin and she had to fight her way to the surface. The waves and current carried her away from the ship rather quickly to her satisfaction. She usually was a good swimmer, but in this dog form it was rather difficult…
Once the ship was out of sight she got worried of seeing absolutely nothing but water around her. Elie had endurance but she couldn't swim across the whole globe. But finally, after was appear to be an hour she spotted a piece of wreckage floating nearby. She thanked her angel as she, at last, had some luck today. She had to try several times before finally succeeding in climbing up.
As soon as she was out of the water she shook her whole body to get rid of the water. She had to be careful not to move about too much since the piece of wood seemed to barely support her weight. And then came the waiting… under the rain, the scorching sun, the waves and cold nights. She stood there forcing herself to stay awake, she didn't saw once a living soul, not even a sea bird or anything. After two days drifting around without food her water, she was starting to really get worried of her survival chances.
And it is at that very moment, out of nowhere, that the water nearby started to bubble up. It revealed a bright yellow submarine. She knew the logo ornamenting the ship… the hearts pirates… Their captain was renowned for being sadistic surgeon. Sweet… As if she didn't have enough problem right now.
There it is the first chapter of my first story ever publish! Short i'll admit, but I want to know your opinion on this introduction. I don't know how often I am going to post i'll try and do it often once or twice a week, but school can be demanding you know how it is.
