Disclaimer - I do not own any characters apart from Iris who I made up.
Iris is an 18 year old warrior girl who lives in present day (main story goes into further detail), until one day when she gets sucked into another dimension - a Caribbean island in the middle of the 18th century. Nothing she has seen in the past could have prepared her for the people she would meet, and the adventures she would have, with a certain man.
CHAPTER ONE
Iris was a warrior - a born warrior, as was her father, and as his before. Some would see what she had as a gift, but she saw it as a burden. Being born with skill and strength gave her responsibility to protect those who couldn't - a responsibility that should have gone to her brother, her twin brother who did not survive to see the world. This meant that she was given the powers.
Iris Flouer, was battling 2 demons in an abandoned factory, with the help of her three 'normal' friends Celia, Oscar, and kelly, who had known Iris most of her life, and frequently helped her with her duties to protect.
"IRIS, DUCK!!" Shouted Celia, as she and Oscar were struggling with one of the demons, trying to take away his axe, while Kelly was hitting the demon from behind with a large plank of wood she found. The 18 year old girl dove to the floor, just in time before an axe came smashing at the space where her head would have been.
"Thanks" Iris panted, as she jumped to her feet, kicking the demon in the process. As she fought, her straight dark brown hair bounced around in the ponytail she had placed it in. Her bracelets jingled as she punched the demon again and again, before she managed to kick the axe out of his hand, catch it and take off his head all in one swift move. "SHIT! Oh bloody hell, I had dirt on my trousers now. Grrrrrrrrrr. Perfect timing this is - I was ready to spend a fun night with my friends, but nooo…. " Iris was cut out in the middle of her sentence when she realised the situation her friends were in. she sighed before she immediately made her way over to the second demon
"NO NO! STOP IT! GIVE ME THE AXE!" shouted Celia to the demon, hitting him with her free hand, as if she was in a fight with a sister.
"Cece, I don't think he's gonna listen to you" kelly helpfully pointed out from on the demons back. The demon was growling loudly as he tried to throw them all off and finally succeeded by throwing Oscar, Celia and the axe onto the approaching Iris. They all fell down with a thud, as the demon spun kelly of his back, pulled a small bottle out of his pocket, and smashed it onto the floor.
"WHAT THE….." Iris shouted before a blinding light flashed from where the broken bottle was, to form a glowing portal. The Demon started to run towards the portal, making a desperate last attempt to escape. "He's getting away!" Iris shouted as she got up, and sprinted towards the demon, managing to jump onto his back, but it was too late, the demon fell into the portal taking Iris with him.

A busy tavern - the faithful bride, located in the rough Caribbean town Tortuga. All the men fighting, all the women flirting - everyone drunk, apart from two men in a dark corner drinking and busily talking. Their conversation was cut short by a loud bang, and a shot of light, followed by a girl falling from the ceiling, and crashing down onto one of the upright tables. The whole of the tavern turned silent, staring at the girl. Hesitant at first they began to walk toward the unconscious girl, studying her every detail, her strange clothes and hair style. She wore tight leather like trousers, stiletto boots and a low cut strap top (She was about to go clubbing after all).
"Who is she?" inquired one of the drunken sailors
"How the hell would I know?" replied his mate. "I think she's unconscious"
"Did you figure that out all by yourself?" joked a third man from the crowd, whilst making his way to the table to join them. He was a good looking man with various decorations in his hair, and his dark eyes defined with coal.
"Who do you think she is?" said an elderly man from the other side of the table.
"Me? I think she's a strumpet" replied the handsome pirate
"What makes you so certain? Eh, are you aquatinted with her?" said the elderly man, winking at the word acquainted
"Nah, not yet anyways. wake er' up" replied the pirate with his eyes fixed on the girl lying on the table. The elderly man obeyed the pirate's orders, and as he was about to give her a shake, her eyes shot open, and a gasp escaped her lips.
'Where the hell am I?' thought Iris as she opened her eyes. She felt a jolt of pain shoot to her head which made her winch and hold her head whilst she sat up. As she opened her eyes she saw a sea of faces staring at her with a bewildered look their faces.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Screamed Iris as she shot up onto the table. With that, all the men pulled out their swords and pistols and pointed them at Iris. "Who the fuck are you lot?" she asked confused.
"Who are us??? WHO THE HELL ARE YOU????" replied one of the men, a rather good-looking man Iris thought. rather sexy. She stopped her train of thoughts right where it was, before she started to mentally undress him - hehe. He started to slowly edge his sword closer towards her. Iris backed up a bit with her hands in the air. Watching the man, who was studying her up and down, smiling to himself slightly.
"Ok! Ok, lets not get too over excited here, we all just need to put down our weapons, slowly im not doin any harm now am I? After all, how can I? Im only a woman" Iris stated jokingly, knowing that in the past women were seen as the weaker sex. With that, the men looked at each other, and hesitantly brought their weapons back. Iris looked around the room at all the people, noticing that their clothing was different - everything was different.
"wwwhat date is this EXACTLY please?"
"1749, why'd ye ask?" Replied the sexy one
Iris whined slightly and begun to talk to herself, pacing up and down the table "ok you've fallen through a porthole that has taken you to a past time, now THINK Iris THINK…" Iris gasped, realising that she was not the only one who came through the porthole. She turned to the crowd of people who were now more relaxed, and talking amongst themselves about the strange girl. She stomped her foot on the table and raised her voice so that everyone would hear her "NOW THINK CAREFULLY, DID ANYONE SEE ANYTHING RATHER STRANGE BEFORE I ARIVED?"
"Strange in what ways luv?" asked the sexy pirate, giving you an inquisitive look.
"Ummmm" Iris thought hard about how to word the answer without mentioning the word demon. "Big, ugly…" Just then, the door swung open, and with a large growl, the demon stepped into the tavern. "yea, umm, much like him there"
