Prologue

"Get her!"

Someone yelled. A girl no older then seventeen ran as fast as her legs could take her. A grin formed on her pretty pink lips. She always enjoyed this. The thrill of a chase, someone would ran after her but they could never catch up. She was pretty fast runner after all. She ran around the corner and hid the the shadows. They ran past her; not finding her. After a few minutes she walked out of the shadows and walked into the day light. She put her hand above her head to block the bright sun that was in her eyes.

"Tabitha!"

The girl Tabitha blinked. She put her hand down and glanced over her shoulder; She turned around and smiled at who she saw. Her best friend that was a guy. She grinned at him and waved. "Hay Nicolas!" He ran up to her and stopped and bent over and put his hands on her knees as he panted. He glared at her. "Don't...(Pant) hay...(wheeze) me... (Pause) oh brother..." He grumbled slightly to himself. She knelled down and put her hands on his shoulders. She grinned evilly. "Your all out of breath" He glared.

"Of course I am! Running away from those guys that tried too hurt you, because YOU kicked the leader in the groin!"

He blurted out as he glared daggers at her. "It seems that every time that you get in TROUBLE, I'm the one that almost gets KILLED!" She smiled and leaned forward near his face, making his dark skin turn a little pink at how close she was to him. "That!" She stated. "Is only because you try to save me, from all the big.bad.men... Since you really don't have to, since I'm a big girl now." She said with a smile. "But--" She leaned towards his cheek and kissed it. "I'm very glad that you try your hardest" She said as she gave him the brightest smile and she stood up and he was blushing like a tomato. He stood up as well and rubbed the cheek that she had kissed. A blush still across his cheeks. He then looked up and saw Tabitha skipping away with joy.

"H-hay! Wait up!"

"Dad! I'm hoooommmmme!" Tabitha said with a sing song voice. A man in his 50's looked up; his hair was slivery-white and his eyes are hazel. His skin was wrinkled a little bit but not that much. He smiled at his teenage daughter. She came up to him and kissed his cheek. "Hello daddy" She said with a smile. "Hello Tabitha, did you get yourself in trouble again?" He asked with a sly grin. She pretended to be shocked. "Daddy, do you really think I would get into any kind of trouble?" She asked with a giggle.

"Yes I do" He said with a laugh while Tabitha grumbled.

"Thanks Pop" She said with a mumble, while he laughed again. Yes his daughter, was quite how you say it... some what a trouble maker; But that wasn't always the cause of things... trouble seemed to follow her where ever she went. Which also meant that Nicolas life was on the line-- most of the time at least...

"Oh! Before I forget!"

"Hmm?"

"This is for you Tabitha" There in front of her was a medallion made of gold with a skull on it. Her father placed it in her hands. "Wow! Thanks dad!" She said with awe as she stared at the gold piece that was in her hands. "Where did you buy this at?" She asked as she continued to gaze at it. "A old man was selling it; It remained of one of those medallions that you find in pirates movies" He explained to her. "And I know you like stuff like that." She smiled and hugged her dad and gave him another kiss on the cheek. "Thanks daddy, your the best!"

"I'm gonna go up stairs!" She said in a sing song voice as she happily went up stairs. Her father just shook his head and laughed at his hyper child. There was a big thing about Tabitha Anderson; She loved pirates; she always have since she was a little girl. She use to watch movies that her dad had and she loved them. She would sometimes pretend that she was a pirate and that she was a captain of a mighty ship. She also had a older brother who encouraged the idea, to make her happy. But now her brother of 25 had moved out and lived with his wife Maria; And they had two children; One named Michelle the other John.(Which some times she would call Johnny boy). She loved her family. She smiled at that thought and looked at herself in the mirror.

You could say that she was beautiful; She wore no make up or had her hair in some girlie way; Her hair was long, yes but she didn't like to have it down all the time. She mainly liked to where her hair in a bun. She was a brunet with blonde high-lights. When she put her hair down she looked very beautiful; And her hair seemed to match her beautiful brown eyes. Even though she looked very beautiful; She would deny it. She would say that she was not even pretty, why would anyone want her? But that was only half true. She could have any boy or man that she wanted. Because they had fallen madly in love with her --- or so they say. Most of the time she would be running away from them. The reason she had said those things was because every time that she had fallen in love, they would never return there love back. For they loved another. In other words -- she had giving up on love; because she felt that it was helpless and useless to fall for anyone ever again.

Tabitha sighed.

"My love life sucks" She grumbled under her breath. She then looked back up at the mirror. A lot of people would say that she was beautiful and that she could get any guy that she wanted; But, she didn't a guy for all the wrong reasons. Sure she wanted someone to love her and to make her feel that she was wanted; but she could never wanted to be with a man when she didn't feel the same way any love for him. She didn't want to her hurt anyone. But that always seemed to happen. The one person that she thought that she would be with for the rest of her life... didn't love her. And so, her heart was broken. Although she never told her her best friends this. (If she did, she knew that Nicolas would probably would kill him if he found out.) She grinned. Nicolas was like a brother to her. She then looked at the medallion in her hands. She unhooked it and put it up to her neck and hooked it around her neck, she let go when she hear a (Click) and then she looked in the mirror and smiled. It was very pretty with it's gold. Even though it had a skull in the middle.

Then out of no where; she started to feel dizzy and feel faint. She grabbed her head in her hands and a awful pain shot though her head. "It hurts!" Her eyes then rolled back and she fell backwards and fell onto her floor; Unconscious. The medallion began to slightly glow; that soft glow began to surround her and she disappear into thin air, not leaving a trace behind her.
