Ok, this is my first story I have ever written on this site, and I'm quite nervous about your reactions! Be kind Rewind...ok I have no idea where that came from, well anyhoo, on with the story

A girl walked cautiously down the street of dirty, poorly dressed men and women, bars full of more of these people, and deserted buildings. She was shaking in coldness and fear, wrapping the blue shawl she was wearing closer around her as she watched the men scurry about like mice. She quickend her pace as the disgusting vermon made lustful comments about her.



Getting even more afraid, the girl quickly turned into the nearest bar, and went to talk to the bartender. Men and women, the likes of those in the streets filled the tables and stools that surrounded the bartender.

"Excuse me,sir, I was hoping you'd tell me where I could find a place to stay for the night." the girl questioned in the sweetest voice she could manage.

Before the bartender could reply, one of the men at the nearest table interjected.

"I know a place where ye could stay,love." the dred-locked man said, not looking up from his glass of rum.

And who are you?" the girl said as she turned to face the man. She flinched at the sight of him.

"That's none of your concern right now, is it love?" the man said as he stood up and started to leave the bar.

"Wait,sir, just where is this place that you were speaking of?" the girl asked.

" Follow me,love, you'll soon see." the strange man said, signaling herto do as he said.

Without thinking she followed the man out of the bar, not speaking, just following him. He hummed a familiar song as he walked, or strutted rather, down the dirty streets.

"what be yer name love?" the man asked once they had stopped just before reaching the docks.

" I am Jackleanne D'acour, who are you? and were are we?" Jackleanne asked as she glanced around nervously. She shivered as a cool breeze blew in from the sea.
