One of the many Gold Bay bars was a very interesting place. It hadn't taken long for the six kids to find out that it wasn't just crazy drunks that were there. There were also others who were most likely very odd compared to most. There were, of course, ladies who flirted with every guy they could without being drunk. There were pirates looking for a crew. There were men who were sat there and stared, no drink or food or anyone around them. There were even somewhat younger teenagers, a little older than Lewis. It was an odd mix of people gathered in this one building.

While the crew and the Captain drank at a large table, cheering with the other pirates around them, the kids sat at their own table in the corner of the room. Five of them were sitting at the table at the moment, each watching around them to make sure no one came to start trouble. Lewis was the one who had went over to the bar and asked for regular waters for them, giving the bartender a little bit of gold that Captain had given him when they arrived. As Lewis began to walk back to the table, he noticed some of those teenagers near the stairs that led to the top floor. He saw one of them motion for him to come over to them, but he felt the need to go back to his table.

Before he could, one of the tends had came in front of him and stopped him, putting their hand against his chest. The other kids watched as this happened, but they couldn't tell whether or not anything was being said. The two of them stood there for a moment before the teen moved away. Lewis didn't move for maybe a minute before he finally did go back over to the table, setting all of the drinks down.

"I'll be right back..., " he half-whispered, turning and walking towards the stairs. The other kids watched as he went over to the other teens. There looked to be maybe five or six standing there, all wearing hats that hid their faces and their hair, not allowing the younger kids to see the genders. While the other kids didn't really seem to notice, Tawny noticed one of the teens getting closer to Lewis, putting their hand on his shoulder and on his back. She didn't really care, but it was odd that someone he didn't know was trying to get so close to him.

The kids sat there for a little bit, taking sips of their water and watching both their now drunk crew and Lewis with the other older kids. So far, no one had really came over to the kids, which was a good thing. There seemed to be quite a few kids around there, but most of them didn't seem like they were pirates. How in the world could anybody choose to have kids in a place like this, or even bring their kids here? Granted, Tawny and the others were kids and they had been brought here, but it wasn't by choice.

As the kids sat there, Edith had stood from her seat and told the others that she was going to go find a place that would be a bit calmer, Ivo standing to go with her. The two of them walked out of the door of the bar, going outside passed the windows to find another building. That left Oliver, Tawny, and Roulan sitting at the table on their own, keeping watch over the crew. There had so far only been one scene caused by their crew. Of course, it had to be Snap that started it. There were ladies in fancy dresses asking him about his large scratch going across his face, which began his "true tale" about his face off against some beast or a whole ship of the navy or some other battle. All the ladies seemed so impressed by him, and he enjoyed every second of it. He stood on one of the chairs, his one foot perched up on the table, yelling his tale as loud as he could. Even the rest of the crew listened as if they didn't know it was fake. The other kids didn't know that it was fake, but Tawny knew where it came from.

Yelling was heard from outside. That would have been normal if it weren't for the fact that it was Edith's scream. The three at the table stood and made their way outside, looking around to see where they were. Over by one of the other bars they saw three men standing in a triangle, Edith in the middle of them and Ivo laying knocked out on the ground. One of the guys had grabbed Edith's arm and took her hat off, revealing her blonde hair and her girlish face. They all started laughing, pulling on her hair and saying things that were inaudible to Tawny and the others. Seeing what they were doing to Edith, Tawny ran over, biting the man's arm who was holding Edith. With a yell, the man let go of Edith and smacked Tawny across the face, making her stumble backwards. One of the other guys grabbed Edith while the one Tawny had bit rubbed the spot with his hand, glaring down at Tawny with a smile. He started to reach for her, but Tawny watched as Oliver ran passed her, his arms going around the guy's next and his legs kicking the man wherever they could make contact. The other man who had been standing there grabbed Oliver's shirt and started pulling him, punching Oliver in the back and trying to pull him loose. Roulan had ran over and pulled Tawny to her feet, taking a step back.

Tawny tried to run at them again, but Roulan wouldn't let her arms go. They then watched as Lewis ran from the bar door, punching the man who was holding Oliver in the stomach and kicking him right where it hurts. The man stumbled backwards, groaning in pain, while Lewis grabbed the hair of the man Oliver was attacking, pulling his head backwards and kneeing him in the back. At this point, the man holding Edith let her go and pushed her to the ground next to Ivo, trying to get Lewis away from the man.

Edith tried pulling Ivo away when some members of the crew ran outside, separating Oliver, Lewis, and the two men from each other. It took quite a bit of effort to remove Oliver and Lewis from the one man, for both of them were furious. When they finally did get separated, four members of the crew who, surprisingly, weren't drunk, had gotten the kids out of that situation and made those other men leave. Two of the crew helped Edith and Ivo, one of the others held onto Oliver and Lewis, while one of the members that each of the kids had interacted with at least once came over to Roulan and Tawny.

The man was one of the somewhat younger members of the crew. He hadn't really participated in the destruction of Greymouth, instead staying on the ship in the lower deck. He had helped the kids out, feeling bad that they were removed from their homes. He taught them about their jobs and how the ship worked. He had introduced himself as Rigger, a man with a short brown beard, curly black hair, gray eyes, and a few burn marks on his arms. Unlike some of the other crew, he was more like a mentor than he was just another pirate. He wasn't as interested in killing and plundering as the rest of the crew, but he still played his own small part in them. He had become like a friend or a father-figure to the kids. He helped them whenever he could, and he had just helped them again. He put his hands on Roulan and Tawny's shoulders, giving them a squeeze.

"You kids alright?" Both of them nodded before he turned and looked towards Oliver and Lewis. "The two of you need to be more careful. We didn't plan on starting any trouble when we got here."

"It wasn't us that started it! Those guys grabbed Edith, knocked out Ivo and smacked Tawny!" Oliver growled, trying to get out of the other crew member's grasp. Lewis didn't say anything, glaring towards where those three men had ran off to.

Rigger shook his head, walking over to the crew members who were helping Ivo and Edith. He checked both of them for injuries, which thankfully wasn't very much, just a black eye on Ivo and a red handprint on Edith's arm. Not as much could be said for Oliver and Lewis. Oliver had bruises on his arms, shoulder, neck, and stomach from where the man had punched him. Lewis had scratches on his back from the other pirate trying to grab him, as well as on his arms and shoulder. Both of them looked like they were in pain, but as soon as the other crew member let them go, Lewis went over to check on Edith and Ivo while Oliver went to Tawny. Both of them checked their friends for injuries, Lewis trying to wake Ivo up and Oliver giving Tawny a hug. The kids were brought together again by Rigger.

"How about we take you little ones back to the ship. It's better that you guys don't get involved in anything on this island. All of you can go back and go to sleep, " Rigger said, motioning for the other crew members and for the kids to head towards the ship. Before he could leave, Rigger grabbed Lewis by the shoulder, holding him back from the others. Rigger got close to Lewis's ears, making his voice low for only Lewis to hear.

"The people on this island are smarter than they look. Don't let anybody get to the other kids. Don't let them get into your head, either."
