There I wa-wait....where was I?
I felt shifting, and a breeze. I could smell salt water. I opened my eyes and looked around. There was no land in-sight. Only water, along with the boat I was on. I stumbled falling. I got the wind knocked out of me, so I stayed as I was there for a minute, until I heard running footsteps approach.
"a-are you alright mistress?!" a female voice called, grabbing my arm. She pulled me up and looked into my eyes. "h-have you lost your memory again?" she asked frightened.
"u-uh....where are we?" I asked looking around. She smiled.
"I guess that a yes then, I'm Lizzy. Your first mate-
"m-my what?" I asked flustered.
"you first mate, you are Ebony. You are the captain of this here ship, and you call us the Bloody Black Thorns." she grabbed my hand pulling me to a door on the top deck. "ye should really familiarize yourself. Read yer diary, look in the mirror. Find out who ye are." she grabbed a key from a chain around my neck, opening the door with it. She let me in.
"are we pirates?" I asked. She nodded. I walked into my room, closing the door behind me. I looked around spotting an antique looking mirror.
I walked over to it seeing my hair was still a sea green, but the roots were black, beads and random dreadlocks were placed in randomly and a tri-hat placed upon my head.
My eyes travled down to the eyepatch covering my left eye. It looked tailored to resemble a bat.
My other eye had been blue as Hawaiian waters. The eye had been lined with black. I smiled a small bit, my lips a soft pink, my face pale.
My eyes trailed down to my neck, three necklaces and a collar adorning it. The collar was black, with small studs. I smiled looking at the other 3 necklaces.
1 of which had 8 keys on it, and then one in the middle that had been for my room.
Another had a claw that looked as though it had been from a dangerous animal, a bit of dried blood on the tip.
The last of them had blackened red liquid in it. Small spherical items in the bottom of the jar, one large sphere, looking like that of an eyeball. And sitting at the top of the liquid was something that sparkled and seemed like a solid dust.
I looked at the small jar, in awe. I wondered what it was. I looked back to the mirror noticing my outfit.
I was wearing a corset that almost cut off all of my air, but not quite.
Down further was the start of a large skirt. A dark navy blue and a small bit of black lace on the bottom.
Under the skirt was large, clunky boots, that had a highheal. They looked as though they were supposed to be skin tight, small chains adorning them, and an un-obvious steel toe.
I smiled. Well I look like a leader.
I took another look at the eyepatch, hesitantly going to pull at the piece of leather. I looked at the eye underneath.
It wasn't gone, nor was it lazy but it was...purple? A nice shade of heliotrope. The patch went back down with a snap.
Well that was...interesting.
Getting closer to the mirror I read the writing on my collar.
"Zen's Pet~" it spelled out in cursive. I liked it. It made me feel loved, I probably stole it from a dog though. It was loose too.
I walked over to the bed messing with the collar around my neck. I laid on the bed, my head landing something hard under the pillow.
I went under finding a diary. With a smile I open it. It was mine anyway, right? I began to read.
Dear diary,
I'm not sure what day it is, nor do I give a damn. Today, is today, it is the present.
Today I have been forced to kill a beautiful beast. We had made it ashore several days ago, we had been hiking in the mountains. The whole time I had the feeling of eyes on my back. Today while we were on our way back to the boat I turned toward some stalking foot steps, a beautiful wolf glared at me.
Wolves are my favorite animal, however I had a crew to lead. And my significant other to live for.
The wolf had jumped at me, bearing his fangs and ready to pin me. Heh, usually, wolves will go after the weekest in a group, if that's what this one was after....it was probably FAIRLY suprised when I droped to the ground at the last minute, kicking the wolf up rolling To my feet, standing.
I lost the wolf for a moment but saw him staring at me. He ran at me again, so I kicked him again, this time standing, when the wolf slid on the snow covered ground, a ran over, pulling my dagger out of my brazil.
Before a could stab him, he got a good scratch at my chest. I liked the pain, I liked the adrenaline, I loved winning.
But I hated having to kill the thing. I pulled his heart out, a crazed grin on my face.
I got to keep the heart in a jar. I also got to grab the large claw that had been in my chest.
I carried the wolf back to the ship, after catching up with the crew I got cleaned up.
I'm going to wear the tail everyday now. I also get to wear the claw around my neck.
Non of the wolf was wasted, I keep his pelt in my quarters and his bones as well, we ate well. I kept his eyes in the same jar as his heart.
Today I've earned the title of fearless.
Ebony
My eyes were wide with aww. I-I did that? I lifted the corset, seeing a dagger dressed in red velvet with a black ribbon.
I also saw the scar from the wolf.
The door to my room opened.
"mistress, guess who we've run into!" a person, not the same from earlier called.
"who might that be?" I tried to sound like me. She smiled.
"the naughtical blugeon..." she said, the name brought tears to my eyes and sounded familiar.
"will you call Lizzy for me."
"yes m'lady." she scampered of holding her skirt up.
I put my diary back under my pillow. A few minutes passed and the blonde was in my doorway.
"you called?" Lizzy's voice rang in a questioning tone.
"who is on the ship we bumped into? Why's the name familiar and make me want to smile and cry?" I asked, demand in my voice.
"Oh! Your significant other, Zen is on that ship. She wants you to grace her with your presence on her boat for dinner, we've bound the boats together because we assumed you would want to visit."
I smiled. "o-of course!" I smiled, memory's rushing back, all with another female who would smile, her hair was black and short. If the flashbacks are correct there was yet to be a dull moment, and butterflies began to fill my stomach.
Hmm...so my significant other is...a female. That's unexpected. But I'm happy I have one, especially one who appears to mean allot to me.
"thank you Lizzy..." I smiled, walking out of my quarters, looking to the boat that was attached by ropes to ours.
We had anchored. The crew used planks of wood to form a bridge. I walked over to the makeshift bridge. I wasn't as scared as I would usually be but then again, I just read something I had done to win the title fearless.
I looked to a male crew-mate. "is the 'bridge' ready" the crew mate nodded.
"yes m'am..." he answered holding the board sturdy. I stepped up to walk across to the other boat.
I come face to face with the same female from the memory's. I smile, she pulls me into a small hug. more memory's.
I hugged her, I loved her.
To Be Continued
