~KATH~

Kathleen got up with a start. It was night fall already! She must have nodded off on the docks. Kathleen looked around and shivered, she was all alone. Quickly she got up and started to hurry off to her home, when suddenly a hand reached out and grabbed her – forcing her around.

"Well, well, well... wot do we have here? Wot's a pretty like you doin' on the docks all by your onesies?" were the words accompanied by a hot rush of foul breath.

Kathleen looked up and saw a scared face, with dread-locked hair, a dirty captain's hat and an earring. But it was not the face which terrified her, thought this was scary enough, nor the hair even, but the eyes. The eyes were burning, with a maniacal glint to them.

"P-p-p-pirate!" she gasped. "well, um, p-please excuse me... um, m-must be g- going, now" she stuttered, turning around and running... straight into the arms or another pirate!

"Now, now, luv, lets not be a makin' a fuss, eh? You just stay 'ere quietly, and we'll try not to 'urt you too much, savvy?" the first one drawled. Kathleen suddenly lashed out with her foot, causing him to take a step back.

What followed next was an unfair fight. Though Kathleen had been trained in both martial arts, shooting and sword play by her father, the 18 year old girl was no match for two fully grown men with twice as much muscle, body weight and much more height. The second pirate grabbed her from behind and gripped her from behind. She considered screaming, but the pirates dirty had clamped over her mouth. There was no one about this hour, anyhow.

"She's a feisty 'un, ain't she, Captin'?" the second pirate laughed, pulling her head up by her hair. The Captain now looked very angry. He pulled out his sword and but the cold metal tip at her throat.

"I told ye to stay quietly..." he said through gritted teeth "I could end yer pretty lit'le life right now, ye know, luv..." Kathleen watched in terror as a speck of bright red blood appeared. "But then again, where's the fun in that?" He sheathed his sword and moved closer hands groping.

"Um, captin'? Well, a meansings no disrespect or anythin', but shouldn't we get a movin', and you can have your fun latter? The navy might come around any minute now..." the second pirate said.

"I will have my fun wen I want to, Gratty" the Captain spat. "Besides, if the navy comes, we do have a bargaining block, 'ere... this is after all gov'ner Swanns niece..."

"Really!" Gratty exclaimed "But how da ye know?"

The captain looked in to Kathleen's eyes. "I see the likeness of her in her father... my first kill..."

Kathleen inhaled sharply. Here, standing before her, a glint of hate shining maniacally in his eyes, was her father's killer!

"But wouldn't we get 'anged if caught with 'er!?" Gratty persisted.

"Quiet, you fool! Can't you see that I am busy? Hold her still for me" the Captain snapped.

To her horror, the arms around Kathleen tightened, brusing her arms, and she saw that the Captain's attention was once again drawn to her. Roughly he tore off her outer dress, then ripped off her corset so that she was standing shivering half naked in the nights air. The Captain moved closer to her and pressed close to her, his tongue invading her mouth.
