So well, I was going to reply the anon privately but I couldn't because duh it's anon. So yeah.

Anon: If you have a profile, can you PM me why you think that Sirius is a bit un-Sirius? Thank you for the review though (: I like to know what I can improve.

The other who reviewed, thank you too! I'm going to stop talking, anyway.


I wasn't going to eat. At least not their food. I refuse to go so low. I refuse to accept that I'm going to spend so much time in here that I'll have to eat. My father is going to rescue. I know he is. It doesn't matter what those pigs say. He will. He has to. My stomach hurts, disagreeing with what I just thought. I looked through the wall of the ship and I noticed the sun was already down. I have spent three days sitting here. I'm hungry. So hungry. I won't eat. I can't eat. Not their food. I won't eat. Maybe they'll bring me dinner. Not that it will make any difference. I will not cringe for them. I hear some footsteps on the stairs, and I pray that is not the man who came here the other day, or Potter. Oh gods, please, don't let it be Potter.

It was the girl. Katherine, I would guess. Captain's daughter. Her lips were extremely red, like she had just kissed someone for hours.

"Hello."

I didn't say a word.

"Nice. Not talking then? This is not going to make your father to save you. So, you're not eating this, right?" I looked at her. "Great, I'm hungry." She started to eat my dinner, her eyes showing how much fun she was having with me. "You know who I am."

"You're Captain's daughter." I replied.

"Yes. And normally, I'm not supposed to talk to the prisoners, or bring them food. Can you imagine why I am here?"

"Maybe they were out of people to send here."

"No. It was James' work this time. But he asked me a favor. And since we've met each other for a long time, I accepted. He wanted me to talk to you. Any idea why?"

She did know, of course. She knows him way better than I do. But I did know too. But well, two can play this game.

"No idea." I replied, politely. "How about you?"

She smiled malicious, delighted that I had asked the right question.

"Oh, I don't know. Maybe he likes your pretty face. Maybe he thinks that you will fall in love with him and spend the rest of your days in this ship, with him. Maybe he thinks he's in love."

"If he only thinks he's in love, then it's not true love."

"Oh, honey. Pirates do not know true love. They know money. They know how to kill. They know torture. They know luxury. They know sin. They know a lot of things, but they do not know true love. Especially James."

I looked at her, deep in her eyes. What did she mean with "Especially James"? Maybe she was afraid I would fall in love with him. But I wouldn't. He was the main reason I was here. He was the main reason that I was starving. He was the main reason that I was not home. He was the one who caused everything.

"Did he tell you about me?"

I nodded, not even hearing the question. He ripped me out of my home and now he thinks he's in love with me. That just ridiculous.

"He probably told me that I could take you out of here. Well, honey, I can. But I don't want him to break you."

"What?" I said, looking at her. "What do you mean, to break me?"

"He will make you love him without you even notice. He will make you laugh, he will make you smile, he will make you think that life is actually worth it, he will make you think that everything is so great whenever he is around, he will make you feel special. He will make you feel like finally, you belong somewhere. He will make you feel like home. But then, he will break your heart in tiny little pieces and he will spit on it, and you are never going to be able to trust a man again because he lifted you up so high and then let you fall so hard!" I could feel the anger in her voice. I could also feel the pain. Potter had broken her. "He will break you. You're not strong enough to deal with someone like James."

"And were you strong enough to deal with him?"

I could see the fire in the eyes and I could feel how much she wanted to hurt me after this one. But the fire was gone quickly, and her emotionless mask was back in her face.

"I'm going to talk to my father." She got up and left me there.


I couldn't sleep. It was late, I could tell that because the whole crew was already asleep and the screams and laughter were gone. My stomach rumbled. At least my dinner was eaten by Katherine, so I didn't have to look at it for hours.

"Hi." Said a voice in the dark. I recognized it in the same second, and tried to pretend that I was asleep. "I'm here for an hour, I know you're awake."

I sighed, giving up.

"Hello, Potter." He smiled that stupid smile of him.

"I heard you're hungry."

"I'm not hungry."

"You've been here for three days. You have to eat."

"Not your food."

"You don't have any other. C'mon, eat it. I stole it. If anyone founds out, I'm dead."

He will make you feel special.

"So take it back. I'm not eating."

"The letter to your father wasn't even sent yet. It's going to take months to you to go back home. You can't starve all this time. Just eat." He said, opening the door, and handing me the plate. I handed it back to him.

"Aren't you going to close it?"

"You're not able to escape. The only way out of here is the sea. And we both know you're not a fan of it."

I stared at him. He smiled. I rolled my eyes. He laughed.

"C'mon, take it." He said, handing me the plate once again. I gave up. I was really starving. I sat extremely away from him, and started eating. It was the best feeling I had since I step into this stupid ship. I started eating faster, and I could see he was smiling victorious.

"I hate you." I said.

"I know you do." He replied, still smiling.
