Maka's POV:

I woke up to the sound of dripping water and small scurrying paws. I opened my eyes to see nothing but a blurr of tan in front of my face. My head was covered with a potato sack. I tried to move my hands in order to lift myself up but found I was unable to move them. My hands were bound in chains. I decided to just lay down and think. My chest was still hurting from past events and I didn't want to increase the pain by trying to sit up.

Have you ever heard of the Black Dragon? I want its captain.

I've heard stories of the Black Dragon. The stories were not that old, the ship is said to only be about three or four years old. There are two stories about it. One was that it was a demon ship where its captain and crew sought for and ate the souls of good people. It said that the crew was merciless and that the captain was even more so.

Then there is a story that the ship brought peace. That it sought out and destroyed evil on both land and sea. However both stories mention how terrifying it is. The ship itself was all black with a large white skull in the front and on the front sides of the ship. The sails were white but had the same skull as on the front of the ship on them only in black. On the back left side was the words Black Dragon in cursive in red.

Then there was the crew. Although in one of the stories they were hero's, they were still odd. All dressed in black and white, They held odd weapons for battle. Instead of just guns or swords they had ninja tools and scythes too. Then, although human in one of the stories, they were still to scary to approach. They also say that they keep a monster on the ship too, one they decided not to kill.

Then finally, there's the captain. Both describe him in the same way. A demon. He is said to be a tall man with starch white hair and bloody red eyes. The most terrifying thing about him though is his teeth. Its said that he had sharks teeth. Not fangs were only his canines were extra pointed. But all his teeth, each and every tooth, razor sharp. His name. Soul Eater.

Why on earth would that woman want to meet the Soul Eater? Why was I involved? Was I a sacrifice? No, that's impossible, monsters don't exist. That Captain, Soul Eater couldn't look like that, there was no way someone had white hair and red eyes unless they were albino, and I was told he was tan, not ghostly white. And his teeth. They couldn't be pointed, not naturally. Yet here she was, were ever that may be, being kidnaped and taken to this demon captain.

" I saw it, Captain Medusa. She flew a mile south not ten minutes ago."

I strained to hear the conversation above me.

"Good work Eruka. Get two kishin to bring the girl above deck, our guests will be arriving shortly."

That was the woman's voice. So her name was Medusa. I thought she looked like a snake. Also, now I knew were I was, a ship.

"Yes ma'am."

No later did the conversation end did she hear foot steps coming down from the deck. Three on them. One small and springy, the other two loud and clumsy.

"Show time little rat." I guess that was meant for me.

"You there unbind her chains from the floor, and you, you will carry her out. She still needs to have the sack on her head and I don't want her to constantly stumble around."

I heard a sharp his and a low grumble in agreement. I Looked around in the sack only to see dark shapes through the stitching. One very tall person with arms that reached the floor, another small skinny one, I guess was the girl, and one that looked like the shape of a large animal.

The one with the long arms came around me and forced me to sit up. One hand could reach around most of my body and his nails felt like daggers piercing my skin. What were these people. The moment he lifted me up my chest screamed in protest. When I gave a small whimper, the person with the long arms hissed fiercely at me to keep quiet. I bit my lip to silence myself. He had unhitched my chains from the ground and then grabbed me, lifting me up and placing me on something furry. My lip was bleeding from how hard I had bitten down on it to keep silent.

I felt the fur in my hands and stroked it, the creature I was on growled in annoyance.

"Alright lets go." the girl, Eruka said.

When we got on deck, light shined fro the sack and I could see more shadows moving around busily. None sounded human. They all growled or hissed, or made some other inhuman sounds. There shapes didn't show human traits ether from what I could see, All there shadows looked disfigured.

"Chain her up outside the captains quarters, she needs to be visible for all to see." Just as the orders were given, they were done. She was once again chained to the floor, though her hands were in front of her this time instead of in the back and she was forced to sit down. The two creatures that brought me on deck now guarded me on both sides.

"Good job Eruka." Medusa.

"Thank you captain."

"Well then Maka, we appreciate your corporation. So, let the show begin."

Me: rrrrr.

Arow: what are you doing.

Me: trying to scare away the homework.

Arow: Stop stalling.
