I looked up alarmed at Edward who was looking back at me with a mix of shock, pain, and the most dominant, anger.

I didn't need to be a mind reader to know what he was about to do.

And it was my entire fault.

BPOV

I felt the wild wind blow furiously against my face as I stood above the ocean, about to be pushed into the wild storm, where it would consume me forever and become my grave.

I looked back over my shoulder at the dark silhouettes of the people – or should I say monsters – and shivers rushed through me as I gazed into their glazing blood red eyes, which were watching me intently as I was guided to the end of the wooden plank by someone holding a long, gleaming silver sword to my back.

I tried once again to escape the tight ropes that were bound around my wrists, but failed once again, destroying my last glimmer of hope.

"Go on, ye filthy wench! Jump! No one with the right minds would want ye!" One of the silhouetted men shouted at me through the raging storm. With tears pooling over, and trailing down my cheeks, I walked closer to the edge, and looked down into the dark bottomless pit awaiting me.

I didn't understand what I had done to deserve this. One minute I was in a cabin, the next a man had come through and taken me out here by my hair, ignoring my pleas, and through me to the ground and ordered other to tie me up. Betrayal had coursed through me when I had caught a glimpse of Alice, who was looking at me no different then the others. Disgust, anger and mischief.

I had trusted her.

I had actually believed her.

I had thought she was my friend.

Well, at least I could see my parents again once I was…gone, a voice inside my head said to ease the pain.

With a final jab of the sword, I was sent over the edge of the board and into my death…

I sat up with a jolt, eyes wide open and I was breathing heavily. Realizing it was only a dream; I fell back down on the pillows and ran a hand through my slightly wet hair. What in the world had been that? I asked myself mentally. Only a dream, the logical side of my mind kept telling me.

It had seemed so real…I swear I had been right there.

I shrugged it off, and removed the covers from myself and sat on the edge of the bed, letting my legs dangle and swing while I rubbed my eyes and stretched lightly. Yawning involuntary, I noticed after that there was a tray of food on the side of my night table, filled with slightly cooked fish and clams, a glass of water and some bread, with slightly undetectable blue spots. Not exactly what I was used too, but food was food.

I grimaced slightly as I stuck the fish in my mouth, realizing it was cold and mushy, but still edible. I gulped all of it down hastily, not wanting to taste it exactly, and then arranged the dished in a way it would be easy to clean up. I had done that numerous times back at home, not liking how much work the maids always had to do.

After I was done, I began finding the time passing quite slow, so I made the bed, looked around the room, I even started to dust around with a rag I had found when all of a sudden I heard some yelling and lots of banging on the other side of the door. I tip toed to the wooden door, and pressed my ear against it, trying to distinguish the voices.

"Please Edward, she has no home! She has no family!" Alice? Who was she talking to? And was she talking about me?

"Alice, she's not one of us!" A velvety voice, filled with authority, screamed at her, and by the way the sounds were, he was coming towards my room but Alice was trying to hold him back.

"Please! I want to keep her, like a daughter!" She kept on begging whoever the man was, but the way he sounded, he was a stubborn person.

"NO! IF YOU DO NOT STOP, I WILL KILL YOU TOO!" Kill her, too? Fear rushed through me and I staggered away from the door and dove for under the bed, probably the only place in this room decent enough to hide. I placed a hand in front of my mouth to keep myself from screaming or making any sound when the door burst opened and four sets of feet came in.

"Where is she?!" The one with the velvety voice, who's name was Edward, roared.

"I don't know! She was here this morning! Please, I'm begging you, don't hurt her!" Alice kept telling him. But even I knew, it was no use.

"Alice, Edward is right. You shouldn't have brought her here." A seductive but firm female voice stated. I knew, even without seeing or knowing her, that I didn't like her already.

"Tanya, I don't need your backtalk! Now, shut it!" I smiled inwardly at how much Alice was protective of me.

"Will both of you just be quiet!" Edward complained after Alice and…Tanya?

All of a sudden, I was hauled by the ankles by someone, and out into the open where 4 pairs of eyes lay upon me. There was Alice, who looked in pain when she saw me come out, Tanya, I presumed, with long strawberry blond hair, a very curved body and ice blue eyes, who looked at me up and down then grimaced slightly and lifted her nose to me, a tall man, about 19 years old with slightly cropped hair as black as night, striking sapphire blue eyes, clean cut features and a well toned body, who had the look of sympathy on his face, and the last one was probably the most handsome man I had ever seen.

He had tousled bronze hair, hard and intensified features, perfect red tinted lips, and the most amazing green eyes I had ever seen. And I had seen a lot of green eyes. He had a lanky body, but you could see he was quite muscular, although his clothes covered his muscles, and he was quite tall, by what I saw.

I was in awe until I saw his expression. Fury and a hint of…awe? I couldn't be sure. I gulped loudly, and then looked down, not wanting to meet his hard gaze. His feet started to move towards me, and the next thing I was pulled up from the shoulder roughly, a whimper exiting my lips, and dragged along a series of corridors and stairs, hearing faintly Alice screaming my name behind me, and the other guy with the sapphire blue eyes agreeing with Alice, while I was hustled onto the deck.

I was thrown close to the edge of the boat, and then there was a sword close to my throat, held quite close to my pulse point.

"I suggest you head for that plank over-"He didn't get to finish because Alice was screeching at him from the grasp of a man who had blond locks and light brown eyes and a quite muscular body that was no match for Alice's small one.

"PLEASE DON'T KILL HER! S-SHE COULD CLEAN FOR US! WE COULD USE HER IN SOME OF OUR ROBBERIES! PLEASE, EDWARD, I'M BEGGING YOU!" He seemed to consider her words, but the blond bimbo came to his side and placed a hand on his shoulder and said out loud: "But she could also be a great nuisance and ruin us instead of helping. And who knows, she could be from some rich family who doesn't know how to lift a finger." I narrowed my eyes at her, and was shocked to see Edward doing the same.

He shrugged her hand off his shoulder and placed his sword in his belt and came to crouch in front of me, ignoring Tanya completely.

"What's your name?" He asked softly, as if he hadn't been pointing a knife at me a moment ago, and smiled crookedly at me.

"I-Isab-bella S-Swan." I stuttered, still afraid slightly of this man. A sad glint crossed his eyes but it quickly disappeared, and cold stares took over. He stood up and looked down at me.

"Well, Isabella, you will be in charge of cleaning this ship spotless or else. Caleb, Alice and Jasper, I'm holding you three responsible for her. If she fails, you all fail me. Now, everyone get back to work!" After that, he walked to a nearby cabin – the captain's carters I presumed – and slammed the door behind him. I looked where he had left for a moment, before I looked back and saw everyone had gone back to there tasks except Alice, the man with blue eyes and the one with blond hair and light brown eyes, who were coming towards me.

Alice crouched down and wrapped her arms around me, murmuring apologies, while the other two looked uncomfortable. She lifted her head from my shoulder and tears were staining her face. She smiled slightly and got up, and wiped her eyes and stood beside the man with blond locks who smiled warmly at me, and introduced himself.

"I'm Jasper, Alice's mate. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm in charge of looking out for incoming ships, and I'm the co-captain for when Edward isn't here." I smiled back and noticed he had a strange accent to his voice. It was faint, but you could distinguish it if you really listened. It was like a…southern voice. He seemed nice, and had a nice calming air around him, and he looked like someone I could trust easily.

The other man crouched down to my level and held out his hand to me. "I'm Caleb. Caleb Ryheart. In charge of weapons and defense, and it's nice to have someone here who isn't either a wench or a scoundrel."-He chuckled a bit-"Take that as a compliment Isabella." I shook his hand, smiling lightly, sensing he was a good guy.

"Oh, and just to warn you, when you here Edward's voice in your head, don't worry. It's his….ability." Jasper said suddenly. Ability?

"What's that?" I asked timidly. They looked at each other warily, and then Alice nodded and turned to look at me.

"It's…a power he's had for a while. He can read minds as well as send messages since he's the captain."

I nodded, understanding what she meant.

"Well, I'll take you downstairs and we'll get you your equipment. Knowing Edward, he didn't exactly mean what he said, but don't hold your breath." Caleb said, smiling at me at the end. I nodded then followed Alice and prepared myself for cleaning for a long time.

So, is it going well so far? XD Anyway, next chapter is gonna be like a year or week later to see how things go on the ship, and a few more things...XD Well, Review! (please! XD)
