Chapter Four
~*~*~*~*~*~
Trowa groaned as he opened his eyes. The other prisoners were at the doors, screaming at the guard to let them out. There was a distinct tang to the air that he recognized as the odor of gunpowder. The night's dark was interrupted by flashes of golden orange and a grey haze from the smoke.
The guard looked at them, seemed ready to unlock their doors when there came stomping from the stairs. Loryna marched in there and looked around at the scene. "Jesse you're needed on deck," she exclaimed. She eyed the prisoners and smirked. "Leave the slaves. If any of 'em die or are injured it's of no consequence. After all, we can always capture new ones..." she laughed.
Two of the children were standing in their cell, crying loudly in panic. Loryna growled and as the guard entered the narrow passage that housed the stair she rounded on the children. A woman was in the cell next to them, holding the children close through the bars. Loryna smirked as she pulled out her pistol and then aimed at one of the four children in the cell.
Four consecutive shots followed. They were quick and none of the children were likely to have felt anything but a sharp sting. The woman screamed, rattling the bars. "Kathryn! Joseph!" the woman yelled at the two children lying at her feet. "You monster!" she screamed at Loryna.
The guard looked at Loryna, paleing completely. "Lor, why did you do that?" Jesse asked.
"They were crying to much. Anyway, they'll just hold us back Jesse. Children are pointless and if we actually wanted servers, we could go to the nearest town and take them. Now, harden up you slaves," she spat.
The woman continued to cry hysterically, knealing on the blood slicked floor, running her fingers through the girl's red hair. Loryna gave a disgusted grunt and let off another bullet. The sobs ended immediately after. "Let's go Jesse."
Together the two pirate's ran up the stairs. The guard looking at them with a sympathetic gaze. Then both pirate's were gone up the stairs and Trowa growled. Yes,
leave them all here to die. He punched the wooden wall that had the porthole, growling again. He kept punching the wall, wanting to stop, but not being able to. He wanted to let all the frustration out, but that was impossible. He had trained himself early on not to show emotion, but here he was, displaying nothing but anger and hatred.
The wood splintered, digging into his knuckles. Blood poured in rivers over his clenched fists and the wood. "Stop!" Some of the blood seeped into the wood, while the rest slid to the ground. His knuckles creaked again. "Stop! Stop! Stop it Trowa! Stop it Trowa!"
He didn't even recognize his own voice as it told him to stop. When he finally stopped, he was gasping in pain and exurtion. The other prisoners looked at him with wide eyes. Especially the children, though the could never close their eyes again. He laughed bitterly and threw himself down on the cot, what was the point of doinga anything, they were all doomed to die.

Heero watched as his crew boarded the Death Bringer. He stood in the center of his deck, watching as the Death Bringer's crew fought with his. He smiled slightly to himself, fingering the pistol with his left hand and the sword with his right hand. Everything was going according to plan. However there was no sign of Duo...and no sign of the slaves.
Anna was fighting a female pirate similar to her build. In fact, if he hadn't known that Anna was a single child, he would have sworn that was her sister. He shook his head as he paced back and forth. There was a scream as a pirate was forced overboard and he saw the blood pool in the water, and then the triangular dorsel fin of a shark approached. Soon the screams from the water ended.
Growling he stormed across the gangpl sword raised in protection. There was a door leading downwards to the cabins below and the hold. Air hissed betwen his teeth as he walked towards the door. "Captain!"
He spun and raised his sword, using a parry six, he smirked when he heard the snap of a shoulder breaking. The pirate before him dropped the sword, howling in pain before Anna drove her sword threw his body. He choked on his own vomit and blood and
