As I stood next to the ship the fog covered the dock making everything seem distant. Nobody bothered nearing the Jolly Roger. Everyone knew that they had dared to attack her majesty's kingdom. And though it was unknown if the queen would attack their ship, they still feared what the queen would do if they were seen with someone who dared to disobey her.

I looked around to make sure that nobody saw me. It would be difficult to enter the ship without anyone from the ship questioning who I was. But it was something that I had to do. Pulling my hood over my face I made way into the ship. The only way for me to not stand out was to make sure that nobody knew that I was a woman.

Walking through the small ships hall, I was surprised to that nobody was even at the front of the ship to watch for intruders. How did somebody like these careless pirates manage to attack the queens castle? As I silently walked in the ship it became obvious where everyone on the ship was at. In the largest room of the ship the whole crew was there celebrating. The room was filled with large tables and chairs where they sat. Music was being played and drinks were being served.

Drinks were a good thing it meant that they would be drunk. I scanned the room to see where the captain was. For a moment I was unable to find him in the large room, but then near the corner of the room I saw him. His hook and outfit made him stand out, indicating who he was. He had a drink with him, but it had not been touched. He wasn't drunk, which would make my job harder, but his eyes shown that he hadn't slept in days. Tiredness can make people slow to respond and react, though it depends on the person. While his crew celebrated on there success, he remained silent . He looked as though his success had made him determined, but he must have felt that he had gotten nowhere near what he wanted, since wasn't even celebrating.

It was clear that he didn't plan on staying long so I quickly left the doorway. I walked down the long ships hall looking for the captains cabin room. Near the end of the hall it was labeled. But also at the end of the room were two pirates who were supposed to be keeping watch. But they were talking and laughing with each other. Even from where I was at it was clear to me that they were drunk. I simply shook my head at the surprise of there carelessness, as I entered the captains room. The guards were so busy in there conversations that they didn't even notice me as I entered his room.

The room was unlocked, which meant that the captain still planned to come back and lock it. I scanned the room to see where I could wait to attack him. By his desk would be a good place, but I wasn't sure if planned to sit by his desk. After a few minutes of deciding I went with beside the door. That way when he open the door he wouldn't see me, and I would able to easily attack him.

Holding my sword out, I did the hardest part of my job. I waited. I always hated this part because I never knew how long I would have to wait. Sometimes it was hours, or even a whole day. Listening carefully I made sure to be ready to attack at every footstep I heard. My legs begin to feel tired, and I longed to be able to sit. But I stay in my position and waited. Finally after an hour footsteps came to the door and stopped there.

I held my sword to my side and prepared to use it as the door knob turned. I waited as he entered the room. I wanted to make sure that the footsteps really belonged to the captain. Just from his shadow I could tell that I was right it was him. He didn't see me, because he had opened the door that covered me. But he reached for the door knob to close it. Once he did he would see me so I acted fast and lunged at him with my sword at him.

I was right about his tiredness, because he was nearly cut by my first strike as he sloppily dogged my attack. My swords only nipped his outfit. He was surprised, anyone would be if someone came to unexpectedly to kill them. But he seemed more then surprised. He looked at disbelief to see me. As though I was a ghost. I cast aside his expression, and used my sword to strike him again. But then he did the most unexpected thing anyone could of done to me. He grabbed my arm that held my sword, and pulled me into his arms hugging more tightly then seemed possible.
