Chapter one
Inside the queens castle I stood behind no other then the dreaded queen herself. Being her most trusted and used assassin I was the person hunted down the queens worst enemies. I was most famous for capturing snow for the evil queen. After I had accomplished doing what had thought to be impossible to many, the queen no longer doubted me. She even celebrated for a while until snow had escaped from her cell almost as soon as she had been put in. The queen blamed the guards for her escape but I knew that it was the queens own fault for putting her in a cell when snow had magic. Of course the queen never said the reason why snow had escaped so people just believed it was the guards carelessness.
"We have been having trouble with a band of pirates." The queen said as she looked at me. Her gaze went through me as though I wasn't there. As though she saw nothing but a tool. A tool that would soon be of no use once she had gotten her way. That's exactly what I was, a tool. But a dangerous tool.
"Understood" I said gripping my sword tightly. I would soon be using it. More blood would be shed with it.
"Good I would like the situation to be taken care of as soon as possible. I don't want anything coming in the way of my happy ending."
I simply nod my head and leave the room. I made my way to the weapon room. I would be doing this mission alone. I always did when it came to pirate. Take the captain down and the job is finished. That's how it works with pirates.
Inside the weapon room was a shelf filled with swords and daggers. I take two different kinds of swords and two daggers. My small bag is already well supplied with weapons so I left after choosing my swords.
Outside the castle was a horse waiting for me with a guard holding the reins. My job could be so much easier if the queen could use her magic to take me to the pirates ship. But she never did. As long as I was able to get the job done my trouble didn't matter. I was just a tool nothing more, nothing less. I nodded at the guard and mumbled a thanks as I went onto the horse.
I pushed my legs against the horse telling him to go faster. I was in a hurry. Not only did the queen want me to finish the job as soon as possible, the sun had set. In minutes it would begin to get muddy and foggy. This would help in my job later, but for now it would making finding the ship difficult to find.
As I neared the dock where the ship was, my heart started pounding. My heart that shouldn't be part of me. The queen always took the heart of the important guards. But she was unable to take mine. She said she didn't know why, but she never seem surprised that she was unable to take my heart. With my heart still inside of me, she decided to take another route of controlling me. She Wiped my memories. Even my name was unknown to me. But having my heart inside of me I still felt. I felt the horror of killing, the disgust of working for such a queen, and even the sadness of the loss of my memories. All of these things were a threat to the queen. She knew I couldn't have such emotions in the way of my work for her. So she manipulated my emotions. Making me at times feel her rage against someone. Or giving a strong desire to kill someone. And at times I felt nothing.
I got off my horse next to the dock. The fog had really come in which should help me be unnoticed. I wanted to enter the ship without being seen, and find the captain without being seen. A clean easy kill would make my job easily done. I walked on the dock making my way to the largest ship. There on the ship was a sign that said, "The Jolly Roger."
"Perfect," I said smiling
Nothing was going to stop me from this mission. Or so I thought.
