Chapter 5 - Sam

Hailey woke up in the arms of another usul. "What the-" Hailey was interrupted by a male voice.

"Hm?"

"Oh,nothing." Hailey looked up and saw the face of the male usul looking down at her. There was a pirate sign on his head band. "Hey, your a pirate!" She yelled. 'And a pretty cute one too.' Hailey added in her mind.

"Yes, and I believe this belong to you." The porate took out someoething out of his pocket and showed it to her.

"My amulet!" hailey tried grabbing the amulet from his, but cant, since shes all tied up.

The pirate chuckled as he put the amulet back into his pockets.

"Where are you taking me?"

"To our ship. I was sent here to check if theres any survivors. And it seems thaht you are the only lucky one."

There was a fifteen moment of just silence, except the sound of the birds singing and trhe creaking noise the boat makes.

"Finally, were there." Said the pirate. He nudged Hailey awake. "hailey, welcome aboard to our ship."

"What the hell? How do you know my name?"

The pirate seemed to have ignored her question. He pointed at the big, black ship. Many other pirates gatheres on the deck to see what was in their fellow pirates hands. "Well, well. What have we got here?" Said one of them as the pirate walked aboard.

"A fine damsel, isnt she?" Complimented the pirate, holding up Hailey so other pirates can see her.

He threw her into a small, empty room. He was about to lock the door when Hailey said, "You still havennt answered my question, yet."

"Which question?"

"How do you know my name?"

"You mumbled it in your sleep."

Haileys face reddened in embarrassment. Then a large, dark skieth entered the prison. the pirate usul immediately stepped out of the way.

"So, youre the new slave girl, eh?" Said the skieth.

"What! New slave?" yelled Hailey.

"Yes, and im Captain Scarletblade. At sunrise, youll become slave of the ship. Sam, give her the details. And you." he pointed at Hailey. "prepare to work till your heart stops beating." Then he left.

"Your names Sam?" Said Hailey.

"Yes." Sam gave her the sheet that had the details of the privelages and instructions of how to be a slave. He held it up to her, since she was still tied up.

'Serve the captain and crew; mop, clean, and sweep the deck; clean the dishes; do the laundry; cook. You can have ony one hour break per day. And only have one piece of bread and cheese per day. If you break the rules, youll have to suffer major consequinces, depending on what you did.'

"This is crazy!"

Sam sighed. "I know. ive been a slave before, at the young age of eight. Then, when I was around thirteen, I became one of the crew, since i have been proved well enough to be one. Ive always wanted to get out of this damn place. I just cant stand the horrible environment here. O well. I will be in my room. Good luck, Hailey." Sam went out of the room and locked the door.

Hailey sat in the corner of the prison, all alone. She was inbelievably miserable. Boredom, lonliness, depression, hunger, and thirst. Time passed slowly for the poor girl. She was sick and tired of being locked up in the room and do nothing, besides wait.
