"Lower my bounty," moonlight
streamed in through Buckingham palace, silently illuminating the metal barrel of Ara's revolver as she aimed it at the Queen's chest with a click. Queen Victoria sat up slowly and stared with patient dark eyes.
"Shoot me, wonderful idea." The woman said dryly, "killing me will help your cause,"
"I didn't come here to kill you, I came here to threaten you unless you don't do as I ask in which case then," Ara pressed the gun barrel into the Queen's…

"Classic asian sails and wings. No more propeller." Captain Charlotte had her arms crossed. "I've also installed some secret passages that myself and you will keep under lock and key. Only we will know about them. I got the brig redone, widened out storage,A new stove in the galley, one more shower, took out two decks, had Mercurian put in a security system on the life ships, and as you can see, I made some changes to upper deck." she pointed out. "also," she put a hand on Ara's…

Singapore's docks glowed with multi-colored lantern light of green, red, blue, and yellow. there was faint music playing in the distance. Ara squinted as the P.A.S Suchin docked with a thud. She peered, pondering on the last few days. The desert sun beating down, running out of food, fighting, getting lost. It hadnt dawned on her all that time that she hadn't said a single word to anyone besides the Captain since then.
"Ara stop glaring and let's go." captain Charlotte demanded…

It was a violent wake up that night when the sharp tug of Arabella Porter's scalp slammed her cheek to the hard wooden floor of her room. Her mind rushed to keep up with her nerves as panic and confusion flooded Ara's mind.
"No," she said impulsivley without knowing exactly what was going on. A hard slam on her back and there it was, the realization.
"Drug this bitch and weld her in here." There was no doubt about it. That was David's voice.
"No," Ara…

There once was a pirate from mars
Who's very much clapped behind bars
On shiny adventures
She looted some treasures
And carried them home in her bras

"Mom! Who are the mean people?" A little boy aske his young, dark haired mother who held him tightly in her arms. Ara stared at the kid while Captain Bennett and Zeke stepped in front of the crew. Zeke walked up to the woman and the child, the mother stepping back and turnin her child away with a solid warrior's glare. "We haven't done anything to you." Zeke smiled cheerfully with soft eyes. Ara scoffed at this. "You shouldn't make judgments about people before you speak with them." The mother…

"For fucks sake, Fink!" Emerald shouted in a soft high pitched voice as she sat down on a box of coffee. "Put down the fucking knife!" Fink grinned mischievously and continued to spin the schimtar on his pointer finger. "Emerald! I need you for something," captain Zeke called over to her from where he had been antagonizing the victim crew with Ara and Nate. "Can't even sit down. Always something." Emerald groaned as she stood up, letting her arms dangle around her. She walked over and crossed…

The red glass stood still with icy water, bubbling within as Marlow took a drag of hookah.
"Ever notice how much shisha we smoke?" He asked David, accross from him. The other crew members had gone out on the Dawn Rider to loot. Marlow and David were holdig down he fort.
"Ever notice that everyone on this crew is afraid of a 17 year old girl?" David pointed out. "I could probably kill her by stepping on her." Marlow choked on his smoke ring and David smirked in response. "Ever notice…

Twisting her plat into a loose bun, Ara stood in front of the captain's study, waiting to be called in. There was a chilled silence in the wind that made Her spin around nervously and check that the crew was still working, going about their daily jobs. The skies of the Judean desert were a clear blue, never any clouds and Ara could see, through the netting that draped down from Widow's balloon, the name of the other ship painted on messily in Red. "The Dawn Rider". A muffled call rang through…

"What's that ship fly doing in the galley?" David raised his voice mockingly as he circled around Thomas Dunning. Thomas sat up, chewing his dinner, and ran his fingers through his light brown hair. "Why ain't he in the brig?" Dunning opened his mouth to speak but,
"Dave, sit down, shut up, and eat." Ara ordered him. David looked back at Lang who snickered and then he turned back to Ara. "Don't talk to me like you're my father." He said.
"No, you killed him already. That's…

Ara woke up and slipped on trousers and a shirt. She unplugged her belt from the charger and put it on as well as the bracelet and necklace. She thought about Oz, (it was still weird calling him that but what the hell, right?) he was probably somewhere strange doing god knows what and she was waking up hung over pirates for the morning. They weren't moving or looting today, and the captain had fallen asleep at her desk. Ara had thrown a blanket over her, Charlotte's face, stuck to a letter from…

Arabella knocked on the polished wood of the bar. "Southern Comfort and something with which to kill this guy behind me." She smiled and then drew her gun when his hand slid onto her neck. "Nevermind, this'll do just fine." Once again, Arabella Porter's revolver was pressed into the chest of Thomas Dunning. "Give me the warrant papers or I'll shoot."
"I don't have them. I wouldn't have those privileges in foreign skies and soils." He held his hands half way up in surrender, looking…

It had been happening all week. It started when the Widow's morning loot victim turned out to be a crew of monks. Ara sighed and scanned the group of firmly standing men in their brown robes, unafraid of death. Nothing to offer. She turned to the crew.
"I told you you should have burned that fucking scarf." Jon pointed out. Everyone laughed at him until the next ship when Ara had just happened to be helping Chanter with a crate of pomegranates and he slipped on a tea towel on the…

"What is the meanin of this!!!!??" Shouted a well suited man who stumbled in front of a well clothed (yet terrified) crowd of air cruise guests. David looked back at captain Charlotte who gave him a nod. He cocked his gun at the man.
"Back the fuck off unless you're the captain" he shot a sarcastic smile with a cocked eyebrow. The man huffed at the gun and began walking away. "Wait," David said after him. The man stopped and turned. "That's a mighty fine topper you've got. How much…

The lanky boy peered in on the women's side of the striped Bedouin tent as the circumference of a burning afternoon sun tapped the west mountains of the valley. Inside the shady tent, the smell of cumin and sweet Bedouin tea wafted about. The kid observed as his five mothers as they hurried about like cloaked phantoms, preparing for the guests to arrive. He watched as Basima chopped nana, her eyes, the only part of her that Kolfife had ever seen, concentrated on the slick kitchen knife. She…

It was four am when I woke up and couldn't go back to sleep. my hammoc rocked back and forth as I pressed my feet against the rough wood of my room, glowing golden light from lantern on my desk and a pulsing green light as my belt hit full charge. I sighed and undid my hair from it's loose plat before replatting it and twisting it into a bun. I pinned it up and pulled on some brown trousers and my boots before changing my shirt. At 4:15, the ship's silence was disturbed by the sound of music…

Our laughter echoed off the cobblestone and sifted itself through the foggy midnight air of London slums. The usual distant yells of domestic violence and popping gunfire of criminal activity was drowned out by the sound of quickly paced heart beats as we ran, my nose numbed by cold rain and lightly sprinkled drops running on strands of my hair, some of these strandsclinging to my neck. Leander stopped short and pulled me into him to stop me as well.
"No, come on!" I laughed, "my…

"You're rich enough to live and stay in the posh areas yet you buy your own private building in Whitechapel for parties." Ara leaned casually on the door frame when Dorian Grey opened the door. "You get younger by the year”, she smiles mischievously. Dorian, clad in a fine grey suit, chuckles. Brielle stands just behind Ara, white faced. Tugging on her sleeve,
