When I woke up I found myself in a room that looked like a doctor's office. There was a book shelf with many books and it smelled of medicine and herbs. I slowly sat up and spoke what was on my mind out loud, "why does it feel like the room is moving?" "That's because the room is moving." I hear a gently voice and look to my right.

There was a dark skinned man with gentle eyes smiling at me. For some reason I didn't feel scared by hearing his voice. Still smiling he said to me, "Good morning, you have been a sleep for two days. Thomas and Nathan found you unconscious in one of the barrels. You had a few bruises and a bump on your head but you seem to be getting better." Looking at him for a moment I started to speak, "are you a doctor?"

He looked a little embarrassed "yes, im sorry I should have introduced myself. My name is Christopher and im the doctor of the Sirius. You are safe here so please don't worry." "Thanks… wait! Im on a ship?!" I was completely shocked as I looked at Christopher. When I hear someone speak from the door. "Wait you didn't know you were on the Sirius?"

He was a man with red hair and big brown eyes who looked to be around my age. I shook my head and looked at Christopher. He smiled back at me "This is Thomas he's the one who found you first. But if you don't mind me asking how did you end up in that barrel?". I looked at both of them as the memories flooded back into my mind. "My name is Danielle, I was working at a bar in Yamato when I was attacked by some pirates. I escaped and ran away from the bar but some of them followed me so I hid in the barrel so they wouldn't get me but I was trapped inside and hit my head….. Now im here".

The room was silent for a moment before Thomas started to speak. "Miss Danielle are you hungry?" I looked at him and couldn't help but laugh at his random question "haha yes actually I am." "Well good because Nathan is the best cook in the world!" he had a big smile on his face and I couldn't help but smile back as he walked out the door.

Christopher went to close the door when a tall man walked in the room. He was wearing a captain's hat with a feather in it along with a coat over his shoulders and a goatee. I instantly knew he was the captain of the ship. "Hey Doc how's our lovely patient doing?" Christopher quickly filled him in on everything that I had said and the captain looked at me and smiled in a mischievous manner. What is he thinking?

"My name is Morgan and I'm the captain if you haven't already noticed that. My two mates Russell and Eduardo instantly noticed you when we found ya…". Oh those were the two who helped me escape the bar. "And they already filled me in on how reckless you are for taking on three pirates by yourself, so ive decided that you are going to be the newest member of the Sirius!"

My jaw instantly dropped at his words and I heard four voices say "what?!" at exactly the same time. "Captain have you lost your mind? Its not safe for a women to be on a ship" Christopher sounded concerned and then Eduardo spoke, "We should just feed her to the sharks." "Eduardo please don't say that to miss Danielle!" "Guys its Captains orders." Russell's words sounded in my head. He is right, its captains orders its not like I have a choice and besides if I say no ill probably be fed to the sharks.

I looked into captains eyes and said "Yes Ill join the Sirius." "Good girl! But we got one problem there aint a room for ya so you have to choose one of the men so think about it quick!" And with a hearty laugh he left with all the men before they could argue. There was only one person who didn't leave with the captain. He was tall and was wearing a bandana on his head that hid most of his brownish blonde hair. He had a tray of food in his hand as he walked into the room. He must be Nathan the cook. He seems quiet.

~Nates pov~

Geeze I cant believe captain is having this girl be a member of the Sirius. I walked into the room with a tray of food and our eyes met. She was sitting up in the bed and it was the first time since I carried her out of the barrel and into Docs office that I was able to get a good look at her. She has nice dirty blonde hair that was long and big brown eyes.

I walked to her side and placed the tray on her lap while she was still staring at me. Hmmm now that I look closer she kinda has green in her eyes and I can clearly see my reflection. She actually looks really good. "umm, thank you for the food" her voice startled me and I felt embarrassed because I don't normally just stare at anything unless its to make sure my food is to perfection.

"Yeah, Im Nathan and now that you're gonna be a part of the crew don't think you can just be a free loader. You have to work hard like the rest of us." She looked at me for a second and then spoke "Don't worry Nathan. Im not the kind of women who is a freeloader and by no means will I take this easy. I am going to work hard and earn my place here and prove that im not a weak women like most men think." Wow she said that with such confidence and she already ate all her food. She must have been hungry.

~Back to Danielle pov~

I just looked back at Nathan. I am so determined to prove myself to the Sirius. Ive already been an in convince for ending up on the ship. At that moment Captain walked back into the room and started to talk to me

"So Christopher talked to me and said that there are two beds in the infirmary so I am going to allow you to stay in one of them, but if something happens then you'll have to room with someone." "Thanks Captain, I understand." Well that's good even though I don't mind having a roommate I know that the others didn't seem too excited but when I looked at Nathans profile it seemed like he looked a little disappointed. I must be imagining things.
