"And what may this proposition be?" I asked narrowing my eyes.

"Well a race of some sorts if you win we leave you alone if I win well you will know after if I do win."

Is he stupid? The onyx is the fastest ship tied with The Widower which used to be one of my ships.

Stupid Chris Mclean.

"OK deal." I said emotionless but smug on the inside.

He bowed slightly and jumped off.

"To Port Darcy?"he asked.

I nodded and he ran to his ship.

"Crew hoist the sails we have a race to win."

Trent tested the winds. "North East winds."

"OK then steer North East to Port Darcy." I ordered Trent.

I will win this

I walked over to the cave by the ship and pressed a rock.

It opened a passage that would lead to Port Darcy.

I know it was cheating but I needed to win. If I was ever going to defeat Hatchet I would need Captain Evers and her crew and ship.

Her ship was the fastest that I know of.

Her crew one of the best.

DJ walked up to me and said "Duncan isn't wrong to cheat Miss Evers."

"Yes but you know and I know we have to kill Hatchet."

He looked down and walked away.

Poor guy he didn't like to deceive or cheat so this form of action was tearing up at him.

He was a brick house with a heart.

I went in my quarters and sat down and dropped my head in my hands.

Ugh I have a major headache.

I took a nap and Geoff came in to wake me up when we docked.

15 minutes later The Onyx was approaching.

I leaned against our ship waiting for them to dock.

Our boat was half hidden so at first they didn't see it and thought they won.

But they soon realized they didn't and were stunned.

At first their faces held confusion then in a second ceased and became emotionless.

They docked and Princess came out and said "Congratulations." in a hard voice.

I could tell she didn't like to lose.

I smirked and said "OK well I won so my crew and I are going to be on your ship with you and your crew got it."

"WHAT!" she shouted

"That was the deal wouldn't defy parlay now would we." I said in a taunting voice.

I could also tell she followed the rules she glared at me coldly and asked me "Why do you need my crew and ship."

"Hatchet."

"Who is Hatchet?" She asked intrigued.

"Captain Hatchet is a vile man who killed my mother and father when I was just 12."

I said no more and walked off and told my crew to pack up and board The Onyx.

I dared not look back for I did not want to see pity and sadness the probable emotions set on her face.

Those very two emotions that would haunt me anytime I told that story even in the briefest words.

I packed my stuff and climbed on to The Onyx.

Princess walked up to me and said

"Your quarters are on the left mine on the right my crew is showing your crew their rooms."

"Thanks."

She walked to her room but paused and turned around.

"Oh Captain Granders you will tell me more about you and Hatchet."

And with that said she went to her quarters leaving me to myself.
