Okay. I lied. This was going to be the last chapter, but I'm having to much fun with it. I'll continue :D Let's just hope that I have enough time to write a few chapters with all my exams -.-

LET THE DRAMA BEGIN!

"Who are you?" I asked sharply, getting in my fighting stance. I was ready to beat up whoever got in my way, and this pirate was certainly blocking the exit. I glared at the dark-haired pirate. He had an evil smirk that made your blood run cold.

"I said," I growled, a little rougher this time. "Who. Are. You."

"My name is Captain Alan, I am the captain of a very magestic ship called the..."

"Yeah, yeah. Cut to the chase. What do you want?" That surprisingly came from Peri.

The captain was about to speak, when I felt arms wrap around my waist and pull me back. Luckily, he noticed before I manage to scream and jumped on the person behind me. Unluckily, that person was Serpentine.

"Welcome to our battleship." Serpentine spread out her long arms and laughed at the confusion of her prisoners faces as they looked around.

"Where are we?" She heard Jade ask her sister.

"Atriani Island," Serpentine answered for her. "It means bullet in Langrian."

"Langrian?" Jade questioned to herself silently.

"It's an ancient language, known only by a half a dozen people. No two of us are allowed within ten miles of each other." Serpentine inspected her nails as she walked around the tied-up teens - and an angry dark-haired captain.

Serpentine's heels stopped clicking on the tiled floor as she bent down the face Alan, who spat in her face.

"That's a little harsh, don't you think?" She asked as she wiped the saliva from the cheek. She slapped him straight after, the force knocking the wind from his lungs.

Fuzzy squeaked, glaring at Serpentine.

"I'm more powerful than you think," she told them - Alan specifically - as she stood back up and walked around the circle once again. "And not only because of my training."

"Training?" Jade muttered quietly to herself.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Citrine snapped. "Is there some unusual sorcery of which you stole?!"

Serpentine, ignoring Citrine, tied a gag around Jade's mouth, telling her strictly, "you're starting to annoy me. Don't talk for a while, deary."

"I forbid you to touch my sister!" Citrine spat.

"What is this accent of which you speak?" Serpentine mocked the younger girl. She turned to Jade, suspiciously saying, "and why does your sister not have it?"

Jade gasped from under her gag.

"That has nothing to do with you, leave my sister alone!"

"Would you like to get up from that chair and make me?" Serpentine teased.

Citrine kept quiet, knowing that she couldn't get up. Making that witch mad would have only made her more vicious anyway.

"I didn't think so, abnoxious brat."

Cal and Peri just looked on, waiting for her to continue.

"Atriani is about 10 acres in diameter. That might seem small, but when the island was settled in 1859, there were thirteen hundred people calling this place home. At that time, it held the record for the most densly populated area on Earth. It was actually an oil mine, too.

As Italy's reliance of oil declined after the First World War, so too did the need of workers. They were all fired, losing their homes and their fortunes. Now look at it, it's a dump."

They actually couldn't look at the island, because there were no windows on the ship. They all had a pretty good idea of what it would've looked like.

"That's why I turned it into my base. Welcome, prisoners, to my headquarters. It's still a ghost town on the surface, but underneath the island is where all of my facilities are. You won't be using them."

"What do you mean?" Cal asked, getting annoyed.

"You'll be playing in my favourite game, along with a few more of my prisoners. There are two groups. You will fight on this island until there is only one group remaining. You have to work together and learn to protect your group, while killing your friends."

Everyone gasped. Serpentine took the gag out of Jade's mouth and got her soldiers to untie them. They handed each of them a weapon, and quickly shooed them outside. They didn't know what was going on, it was all too fast.

"The other group are at the other side of the island right now. You all have your weapons, don't you? Good luck."

The door shut behind them as soon as their feet reached the sand.

"Let the games begin," Serpentine whispered as a smirk reached her face.
