Disclaimer: Still I do not own One Piece… Damn, sometimes I feel that I never will… ;)
A/N: Well, I'm visiting my mom right now (and my baby tomcat – who's not really a baby anymore) and thought I'd check my account, especially seeing that next time I get the chance will be next week. T-T' Bah, I HATE my computer… I hate it… anyways, no use in droning on and on about that, I'll just have to wait for Christmas, still… that's like so far in the future. xD
Whatever, chapter 3… with no Luffy at all… well, it's just Namis thoughts and right now she's got sth. else to worry about, but maybe… I mean who knows, maybe that miracle… '
Anyways, thanks a lot for all those wonderful reviews, makes me feel only worse about not being able to write and I wonder why the heck I just can't seem to get my imagination working when holding a pencil in my hands…


Love will find her

He had betrayed her!
Not that she did not know what it felt like, she had been deceived several times before she learned to never trust anyone. But this time it was different, she had given her all to pay him whatever he asked of her and after years she had gathered together as much as she needed to buy back Kokoyashi village, to free the people she loved from his reign. Arlong…
How could she have believed that he would keep his word?

He had never proved as someone to be trusted, he had been the one she had learned from, he was the reason she could play every role perfectly, from desperate, helpless little girl to cold-blooded bitch. Those who had made the mistake of trusting him had paid dearly and now she was one of them, even though she had always prided herself that there was no trick that she would not see through and that she would never again play the role he had given to her the way it was planned out.

Of course she would continue on just like before, maybe he had crumpled her hopes but he had known that she would not give up, otherwise she would be dead because she had served her duty.
Yet, here she was, still alive and still hoping against hope for a miracle to find its way to her!
