"Trav"

"Trav!"

"TRAVIS GET UP!"

The young boy who was cuddled up on his cozy bed, at last opened his eyes upon hearing the loud and commanding voice of his elder sister. He rubbed his green-colored eyes gently and looked at her. She didnt seem too happy. "Good morning sissy!" the boy smiled slightly. But nothing could change the insolent, angry face of his sister.

"Do not Good Morning me Travis" She replied and crossed her arms. "What do you mean?" The boy asked in confusion. "THIS" The girl took out her phone from her pocket and showed it to her half-sleepy brother. All of a sudden, every inch of tiredness disappeared from the boy's face. "OH MY GOODNESS! 8 : 30 AM!? OH NO" Travis jumped out of his bed and rushed towards his study table. His sister looked at him in silence. "you seem to be searching for something. What is it?" She asked. "MY HOMEWORK!" The boy shrieked.

"Homework? did you not do it just last night?" Travis looked at his sister at once. "You told me you did the homework before dinner. Didnt you?" he had no response to the question of his elder sister. Instead, he grabbed his bag from the desk and started zipping it up. "What are you doing?" Travis stopped. "Nothing.... just zipping up my bag for school" he replied. "for school? Really?" His sister glared at him. "Uh-huh"

"Today is sunday" Upon hearing the statement, the once worried and hurried Travis calmed down and took a deep breath. "Oh Is It!?" He sighed and plunged his body down on the nearby couch. "Thank god!" His sister approached him.

"You did not do your homework, did you Travis?"

The boy closed his eyes.

"Why!? why are you like this!? You lied to me last night! Will skipping homework really make something of you!?" She finally snapped. "Sister...." Travis looked at her. "YOU WERE UP AGAIN ALL NIGHT TO WRITE THAT STUPID PIRATE STORY, RIGHT!?" She raised her voice. "Sister.... i...." Travis's voice started shaking. His eyes getting teary.

"Its not stupid!" He replied.

"Please.... stop.... I know its your passion to be a pirate. But you are living in a real world. Its not a fairytale. You wont have a ship here. Its just study and hardwork. Please, understand" The girl sighed and sat down on the bed.

"I...Iam sorry... i think i was too harsh. But...." She sluttered. "I just want the good of you.... you are the only thing i have.... especially after Mom and Dad left the country..." She said. Travis held his sister's hand and smiled warmly.

"I know... and iam sorry too. I always cause you trouble. You do so much for me.... I couldn't be a good brother. Iam sorry...."

She hugged her brother and smiled back. "No, you are the best brother, EVER. Please just listen to me from now on..." Travis nodded.

_Monday, 12:45 pm noon_

"So, how was school today?" Travis looked at his elder sister and smiled widely. "GREAT! THE TEACHER COMPLEMENTED ME IN CLASS TODAY" His sister smiled back and patted him on the head. "Good, now where do you wanna go?" she asked while driving the car. "Aren't we going straight home?" She shook her head. "THEN WHERE ARE WE GOING ACTUALLY!?"

He expected an answer but no response.

"Can we go to the..." Seemed like Travis wanted to say something. "The Sea?" His sister smiled as she completed his sentence. He nearly jumped from excitement. "OMG THANK YOU! YAY! I LOVE YOU SIS!" he giggled.

After some minutes of driving, both finally arrived at the sea. It was a 7 minutes drive from Travis's school to the sea. "We are here Trav, go and enjoy. But remember, Dont go further away"

His sister advised him attentively. "Okay! i wont!" and with this, he jumped out of the car, and on to the sand. After a while, she got out of the car and laid her back with the car door.

"God its so hot today!" She put a hand on her face and looked up at the scorchingly warm sun. "Ugh, i need to wear some sunglasses" She checked one last time on her brother playing in the sand nearby, making sure that he is okay. She opened her car trunk and began searching for her sunglasses. "Where did i put the- Oh! got it!" She smiled and picked them up.

She was about to close the car trunk but then realized something. "i should get some sunscreen for Travis" She picked up the sunscreen and closed her car trunk.

"Travis! Do you need the sunscre-" She stopped in her tracks when she saw that her brother was not where he was a while ago. But the problem was, he was nowhere else either.

She rushed towards the warm sand barefeet, searching for her brother in a panic.

"TRAVIS! WHERE ARE YOU!?"

she shouted in worry. Drops of cold sweat started forming on her forehead even though it was so hot outside. "This cant be happening, he was here just now!" She ran here and there in search of him, but still no sign of Travis.

First she thought maybe he is just playing around, but her terror became more visible when she saw Travis's wrist watch lying on the ground. She picked it up with shaky hands.

"THIS IS NOT FUNNY TRAV! COME HERE!" she nearly cried and fell upon her feet.

"What if he accidentally fell into the sea?!"

"What if he is lost?"

"What if someone lured him!?"

"BUT THERE WAS NO ONE HERE WHEN WE CAME!" she shouted and held her head in frustration. But her worry was soon disrupted by a strong, pungent smell coming from nearby. "Ugh! what the hell is this!?" She closed her nose with her hands and looked around. It was until, she noticed green smoke arising from behind the rocks.

"Green smoke? this is..... weird" She could feel her head getting lighter and her eyes getting blurry.

"What.... The.... He.... Hell....." She tripped and fainted.

__________________________________

its black.... everything's black.... what is happening.... i cant see anything.... or maybe my eyes are closed... should i open them???

"Wh-where am i?" The fainted girl finally woke up. She looked around. It looked like a small room, more like a dungeon. Glasses and blood splashed bottles scattered everywhere. And in addition, the smell was beyond horrible. She started gagging once she realized the terrible situation she was in.

"WHERE THE HELL AM I!?" She tried to shout, but her throat was dry. She needed water. She tried moving her arms and legs to atleast get up, Only to realize she is tied, completely with silver chains. She looked at her cuffed hands in terror.

"What the actuall....." She then remembered her brother. How she took him to the sea and he suddenly disappeared, then the pungent smell and green smoke.... She remembered it all.

"Oh no.... TRAVIS!?" She finally gained some courage to shout. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY BROTHER! RELEASE ME AT ONCE!" she screamed at the top of her lungs, but in vain. There was no response. She finally laid back on the wall behind her and started weeping. "Its all my fault... my fault...." She started hitting her head with the silver chains and her forehead started bleeding. Just then, she heard some keys rattling. She stared at the door impatiently, waiting for someone to come help her. But instead .... She saw someone entirely different from what she had imagined.

Two middle aged men, with dirty clothes and rotten teeth came inside. They had swords in their hands and a evil grin on the face. The girl slid back slowly in terror. "My my, look at what we have here" One of the men spoke up. "duh a teenage girl, who else?" the other one replied.

"What's your name?" The second man asked.

But the girl was too stunned to speak. She looked at them terror. "Oh how much i love people with such a miserable face and the teary eyes.... Damn their misery makes me so happy" The second man walked towards the young girl and lifted her chin slightly.

"Now either you tell me your name in 3 seconds or either we throw your brother out in the sea in exactly 3 seconds" Her eyes-widened. So it means her brother is alive after all.

"A-Amy... Its Amy... m-my...N-na-name..." she answered in a low voice. The man kicked her and she fell back on the floor in pain. "ahhh!!" She screamed. "Stop dude, you cannot harm her. She belongs to Jay " The first man warned.

"He will chop you up in pieces if he did not like the guests we have for them. And then, we wont get a penny!" He continued.

(Guests!? Captain?! Money!? what the hell is going on!?) She thought.

"Tch! that damned bastard of a captain. Who cares if he is rich, that doesn't make him the boss of me" he grunted.

"makes or not, untie this girl and bring her outside. They might be here any second now."

_The ship, 3:35 pm_

"SISTER!" Travis rushed into the arms of his elder sister. She tightly hugged him back. "WHERE WERE YOU TRAV! I WAS SO WORRIED!" Amy cried out. "I was just playing and these men grabbed me.... and...." She shushed her brother.

"They are bad people. Don't speak too much. They might hurt us. Stay with me okay?" She replied and held him close.

"Hey, you!" Amy shouted at a nearby man's face. "What is it!?" He replied rudely. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!? AND WHO THE HELL IS COMING TO EVEN TAKE US!?" She asked.

"Its the crescents, the biggest pirate ship to ever exist. Their captain wants you guys"

Her eyes widened as she now understood everything. Its a pirate ship. An actual pirate ship. They were being sold to a bigger ship. And the worst part of it all, she wasn't dreaming.

"Pirates?" Travis looked at his sister. Amy nodded her head in a simple yes. And gestured him to keep quite. "when will they be here?" she asked the man. " in a few minu- Here they are"

Everyone's gaze shifted towards a gigantic, enormous looking ship approaching them. It was absolutely something straight out of a fairytale. It had a huge crescent sign on the side and at the top. "Sister... is this a pirate ship..." Travis muttered in complete shock, while his sister was too stunned to speak.

the ladder was dropped and out came a man. But the only difference was, he wasn't like any man here on this ship. His blond locks of hair, combed neatly in a style. Neat gentleman clothes and abosulte heavenly face. He looked young and had a golden sword in his hand. The way he walked was so much elegant then anything anyone have ever seen.

He swiftly marched inside the ship and threw a bag of coins in the hands of a nearby man. "Enjoy, while you still can" He smirked and crossed his arms. "Where are the people?" He asked, probably asking about Amy and her brother.

The nobel-looking man ran his gaze through the ship until he spotted two siblings sitting close to each other.

"Oh? i see" The man walked towards the siblings with a sweet smile. He crouched down and looked at them. "Hello!" Travis was the first one to greet. "Hello young lad! nice to meet you!" The man patted the boy's head and then shifted his gaze to the girl sitting next to him. "nice to meet you" She said and looked away.

"My name is jimmy and iam the one who came to take you" He smiled at them warmly. "what is your name?" He asked.

"Travis! and this is my sister Amy"

"Travis and Amy? nice names. And how old are you?" Jimmy asked.

"Iam 14 and she is..." Jimmy looked at her.

"18 or 19?" he asked

"Yes, she just turned 18 this year"

Jimmy nodded his head.

"are you a good pirate?" Travis asked innocently.

"what do you think?"

"GOOD PIRATE"

Travis giggled and jimmy patted his head. Amy, however wasnt too happy about anything. "Hey mister!" She finally spoke up. " Do whatever you want, but get us out of this shithole" Jimmy looked at her throughly. Her condition was bad. He sighed. "Did they hit you? Amy?" He asked.

"This is not a right thing to discuss in front of Travis. Even if they did, how does that concern you?" She replied with a blank face.

"It does actually concern me, Violence is never the answer to anything"

"Whatever" she muttered.

"Lets go now" He got up and offered his hand to Amy. She looked at him. He sure looked trustworthy, even though looks can be decieving but she had no other option. She handed him her trembling hand and got up.

Jimmy marched inside his ship with the siblings and the ladder was taken back.

"SIR!?" a voice called and Jimmy turned his head. "What about the food!? are we going to starve today or what!?" Jimmy sighed.

"To be honest, if jay finds out the condition i found these kids in, he would cut all your food and water supply and you would starve and then eventually die" He replied.

"B-But sir! we got them this way! t-this isn't our fault!" one of the man from the previous ship pleaded. Jimmy turned back to lead Amy and Travis inside. "HEY! YOU CANT DO THAT TO US! GIVE US OUR FOOD! WE FOUND THESE PIECES OF CRAP!" The men shouted angrily.

"YOU WON'T LISTEN RIGHT!? LET US SHOW YOU!" Jimmy ignored this too until he heard a gunshot and his eyes-widened. He looked at Travis, but he was fine. "Oh no! Amy!!" He checked upon her but she too was okay. The bullet slid through her sleeve and a little skin was torn. Nothing else.

"HOW DARE YOU SHOOT !? NOW WATCH AND SEE HOW JAY RUINS YOU! YOU PUNKS!" Jimmy shouted and the crescent started moving.

Amy and her brother saw the previous ship go back and disappear.

"Finally, at least we are out of that crap" she took a sigh of relief. And held her right arm. "Damn that bullet could've been through my whole arm." she rearranged her sleeve on her bleeding arm. But however, this wasnt the only part of the body she was bleeding from. She had bruises all over her body.

After the siblings and jimmy walked a few steps inside the ship, they were welcomed by a voice. "GREETINGS" A young man appeared in front of them.

He had black locks of hair, perfect brown eyes and a much handsome face for a pirate. His beauty was out of this world and his clothing was neatly perfect. His snow-white skin and rosy lips, astonished many. His slim yet healthy perfect figure and a ton ear piercings.

"meet Captain Jay, he is the captain of this whole ship" Jimmy introduced. "And also my best friend". He smiled.

"I see, the new peasants are here?"

His way of talk soon turned into a mockery session. "Jay, be nice!" jimmy replied."Hello!" it was Travis. He smiled at the man and waved his hand. "Greetings, young lad." Jay smiled slightly, but that was almost un-noticeable. "You are....?"

"Travis! Travis Ivory!" The boy replied. "I see..." Jay nodded and then looked at the girl standing next to him. He took a moment of silence to examine the girl from head to toe. "Is she your maid!?" Jay asked. "N-No! she is my sister!" Travis replied uncomfortably. "SISTER!?" he stared at her, but he froze when he caught her staring back into his eyes.

"If i had a sister like her, i would have abandoned her a long time ago" He continued. "What did you say!?" Amy finally snapped. "I do not repeat myself" He smirked.

"You Bastard"

Amy muttered. Jay flew in an instant rage and clenched his fist. "What did you say!?" He shouted. "BASTARD!" Jay's eyes widened when he heard her. "How dare yo-" He was about to yell again but was cut off by Amy. "You dont repeat yourself, well i do" She rolled her eyes.

Even though it was considered a disrespect to be talking to the captain of a ship like this, but Jay still somehow appreciated the amount of confidence she had in her talk, being a girl. "it was your first and last time disrespecting me like this." Jay warned with a deadly glare. "or you know the consequences".

He then looked at her feet.

"Do you not wear shoes?" he asked without a reaction. "

Oh- i totally forgot.... i was bought here bare-feet!

She said to herself.

"And look at yourself, you are a mess. If it wasn't for Jimmy defending you, i would have thrown you out in the sea by now, atleast the sharks wouldn't have gone hungry today" he continued.

Amy clinched her fist and gulped her anger.

"Jimmy, you know what to do now" Jay left.

It was shocking, and obviously unexpected. Now Amy was sure that looks can be decieving. "sorry about that, he has a bad temper" Jimmy apologized in a low voice. "I know" Amy replied.

"By the way.... why were we bought here?" She asked crossing her arms. Jimmy stood silent for a moment and called for one of the maids.

"Rebecca!"

"Yes sir!" A pale skinned girl arrived before them in an instant. "you called for me?" She bowed slightly. "Yes, take Travis to the dining table and get the food prepared" Jimmy commanded.

"Sure! anything else?"

"No, that's it for now. Oh, and take care of him" Jimmy looked at Travis and patted his head gently. "You can go with her and eat. Your sister and I will be there shortly" He smiled and Travis left with Rebecca.

"You know that i do not trust you completely yet, to let my brother go with one of your maids?" Amy asked in a rather angry tone. Jimmy sighed and nodded his head. "I know that, i will not convince you to trust me either. But, there is something that you need to know"

Amy looked at him. "Carry on, iam listening"

Jimmy cleared this throat before speaking. "The reason you were brought here to the crescents is because Jay needs you for something" Amy raised her brow in confusion. "Needs me for what?" She asked. "Well, he needs you for an important mission" Jimmy answered.

"Stop playing riddles with me for God's sake. He needs me, What For!?" Jimmy took a deep breath and took out a silver dagger from his pocket. "Wh-what are you-" Amy eyes widened as she saw Jimmy plunge the knife towards her.

(Omg! i knew it! this man can't be trusted! he is going to kill me now!)

"AHHHHHH!!!!!" She shrieked and waited for her skin to feel the pain of the stab. But to her surprise, she felt nothing. "Huh? did he not attack me?" She opened her eyes and looked at Jimmy who stood at his place calmly. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?" she snapped at him.

"Look at your hand"

Amy shakingly looked at her right hand. "B-BLOOD!?" She gasped. "YOU REALLY DID STABBED ME YOU MORON!?" Jimmy smiled and Amy realized something fast. "Wh-why cant i feel any pain???" She asked him. "I dont know, ask yourself" She pressed her wound and still, no pain at all. Then all of a sudden, her cut started healing automatically. "WHAT THE HELL!?" After a few seconds, the scar was gone. It looked like it wasnt even there in the first place. "Wh-what type lf sorcery i-is this!? WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME!?" She cried out in shock.

"You had powers and you didnt even knew?" Jimmy smiled mysteriously. Amy looked at him in disbelief. "How the hell- wait....." She stopped as a thought jumped up in her mind.

"i remember now.... i never actually felt pain.... and the wounds always heal quickly... " She replied. "And you never once tried figuring out why?" Jimmy asked.

"Iam usually so busy in everything that i never even noticed. I just thought that maybe iam healthy so this is why my wounds heal fast.... ever since my parents left the country, i was the only one who had to take care of Travis and myself" She sighed. Jimmy patted her shoulder in comfort. "its okay..."

"By the way.... how did you know? about my power or whatever?" She raised her brow. "WERE YOU STALKING ME!?" Jimmy turned to leave but Amy stopped him. "HEY WAIT! I ASKED SOMETHING!" She shouted.

"Fine...." He stopped and spoke up finally:

"Some men witnessed you and your brother on the sea for a couple weeks. One of them was a sea pirate, and he was actually from among us. Once, he spotted you accidentally cut your arm with a sea shell. And it healed in seconds. He was shocked and informed Jay about it. Jay being what he is, got quite interested in having you for his next mission. He sent men to stalk you for weeks, just to get some more information about you. They soon realized that not only your wounds heal quickly, but they also never hurt." Jimmy finished.

"S-so.... it means the men who kidnapped us...." She hesitated. "They were sent by Jay to pick you up, either by affection or either by force. But since they are pirates, they prefer forcefull ways to capture persons" He continued. "Oh, and the green smoke you must have seen earlier. That is a special dust we use to capture alive beings. Its like a sleeping drug"

"This is why the smell was awfull...." Amy complained in anger. "But anyways, what is that mission i was captured for?" She asked. "I cannot tell you that." And with this, Jimmy walked away. "Hey wha-" She was soon interrupted by someone. "Rebecca?"

"Captain told me to get you ready. I already fed Travis and sent him to his room for sleep. You can visit him if you want" She replied. Amy took a deep breath. "Lets just get freshen up first. I look awful" She then walked away with Rebecca.

_Monday Night, 9:30 pm_

"You may go" Jay ordered and the man bowed one last time and left. He sighed and looked at the gigantic sea in front of him. After a few seconds, he took out a black string and gently tied it around one of the hooks of the ship's wheel. "I wont give up" he chanted to himself, with determination. He had always been a never giving up type of person. Once he was determined to do something, he would then put all his soul into it until it is fulfilled. Whether it be a sweet promise or a cruel revenge.

*Rustle* *Rustle*

Jay stood up and took out his sword. He pointed it towards the direction of some empty-barrels nearby. It looked like he knew just where the voice came from. "Get out" he commanded with a serious tone. It was not shocking for him, neither he was scared even an inch. His whole body kept intact even when he knew it could be an intruder. There was a complete silence for some minutes until Jay spoke up again.

"Get out or else i will destroy the crap you are hiding behind. It then wont take me long to destroy you either" He warned. His voice sounded even more threatening and scary now.

Upon this, the hidden person finally came out from behind the hiding spot and showed itself.

It was Amy. Jay rolled his eyes and put back his sword. "What are you doing here?" he asked while raising his brow.

"I- i actually..." Amy tried to reply but it was hard for her to even stand still, let alone speak.

Jay's intense gaze made her legs shake and voice crack. "Who allowed you to roam around MY ship??" He dropped another question. "I- i actually was having some trouble breathing properly so... i- i came... ou-" Just when she gained some courage to explain herself, Jay cut her off again.

"This is my ship, here you breath with my permission and walk around with my permission. Are you too dumb to understand that?" He asked. Amy had nothing to say now. Jay crossed his arms and examined her from head to toe. "I see, you look better now from before" Amy's eyes widened as she looked up at him.

(is he seriously complementing me!?) she thought. But her misunderstanding was soon cleared when he opened his mouth again. "But not pretty enough to please my eyes" He smirked.

(What is wrong with him!? Is he insane or what!?) Amy gulped her anger and clenched her fists tightly. "oh, so you got hurt by my words didnt you?" He walked closer to her with his arms still crossed.

Amy took a few steps back in fear. Even though he was beautiful and handsome. But he was still scary.

Jay took a few steps closer and Amy took a few steps back. "Get out" Jay ordered with a deadly gaze and she went back rushing inside with trembling legs. "Too much trouble for a girl" he sighed and began to walk back towards the ship's wheel.

on his way back, he noticed something shiny and gleamy on the wooden floor. He carefully picked it up. It was a blue necklace with silver lining around the blueish crystal. It sure was beautiful, but Jay had seen more beautiful things in life. It was then when he realized that it must've belonged to Amy, and that she dropped it while running away. "careless, i hate careless people" He muttered and got his hand ready to plunge the necklace into the sea.

But somehow, his fingers stopped. It was like something stopped him from doing so. He rolled the silver string of the necklace around his hand and gently observed it. ( why cant i throw it out? what stopped me?) he asked himself. "nevermind" He rolled his eyes and put the necklace in his pocket. "Stupid girl" he whispered to himself one last time before walking towards his bedroom.

On the other hand, Amy was searching frantically for her necklace. She had realized that she lost it right after getting back to her room. "Where could it be!?" she held her head in frustration. " i literally have searched everywhere around here, where the hell did it go!?" She asked herself as she looked around.

"Wait!!" She soon stopped when she remembered something. "I MUST'VE DROPPED IT OUTSIDE!" She cried out and plunged her body on the bed. "IAM NEVER GOING TO GET IT BACK NOW I GUESS!" She buried her head in a pillow and started crying.

"THAT NECKLACE MEANS THE WHOLE WORLD FOR ME" she started crying even more.

Warms tears soon soaked the pillow and she started having a trouble breathing. "AHH! i.... i can't.... i can't brea- breath......." She got up and gasped for air, but nothing worked.

Morning, 9:45 am

Everyone was gathered in the Dining hall, sitting upon their seats in silence. Food was served but the room was filled with complete silence. "Captain, maybe she has her reason to not come here, she was injured badly yester-" one of the men tried to speak but Jay silenced him. "SHUT UP! DO I LOOK LIKE I CARE IF SHE HAVE A REASON OR NOT!?" He shouted which made everyone flinch, including his girlfriend who was sitting next to him.

"REBECCA! REBECCA!" he shouted and Rebecca shakingly came in his presence. "Y-yes Captain!"

Jay glared at her. "Did you not inform that girl about the weekly breakfast!?" He demanded angrily. "I did Sir! just yesterday and even before i sent her to her room!" She explained.

Jay rubbed his fingers against his forehead. "Go get her" He sighed and looked at her.

"NOW!" The maid flinched and rushed outside the hall to get Amy. Travis, who was sitting right next to Jimmy, gently tucked his sleeve. "What is it?" Jimmy asked gently. "Is the captain talking about my sister? If yes, then why isnt she here yet?" He asked innocently. " Dont worry, she will be here soon....you, eat up" Jimmy comforted him while smiling gently.  "Okay... as long as she is okay...." Travis faked a smile.

"Babe, lets just stop waiting for that, peasant girl or whoever she is... Right? Who even cares!?" Jay's girlfriend spoke up. "I know that Kellen, but this is none of your business" Jay replied, trying not to be more angry.

Kellen rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "That damned of a girl. She is probably from a poor district where they teach no manners to broke people" She complained. Travis finally broke his silence. "HEY! YOU CANT TALK LIKE THAT ABOUT MY SISTER!" He stood up. Kellen was about to scold him but then, Rebbeca rushed back inside.

She was breathing heavily and her legs were shaking. Jay immediately noticed that something is wrong. "What happened, where is that girl?" he asked. "CA-CAPTAIN!!!" Rebecca panted as her face color started turning pale. "SPEAK UP!" Jay shouted. "MISS AMY, SHE!-" Jay's eyes widened as he got up from his seat. He rushed outside in the speed of light, leaving everyone behind in shock.

"huh!? what happened to my sister!? is she not okay!?" Travis asked Jimmy in a worry. "No No! she is fine! Don't worry okay!?" he assured, but deep inside he was as worried as Travis was.

"Hope she dies though...." Kellen whispered to herself and started eating like nothing happened at the first place.

Jay rushed towards Amy's room, with Rebecca leading the way. When he finally reached the door, he flung it open and got inside. His froze upon seeing Amy, lying unconscious on the floor, with her face all pale. Jay rushed to her side and gently picked her head up. He checked her pulse to see that it was barely working.

"QUICK! GET THE NURSE!" He ordered. Rebecca nodded and rushed outside. Jay looked at Amy's helpless, unconscious body. He has always had fun and a great pleasure seeing people suffer. But this time it was different. He wasnt sad, but not happy either. His expressions were blank. He gently lifted Amy's chin and stared at her face. She was actually pretty, it was the first time that he had seen her closely.

Just then, Rebecca came rushing inside the room with an old nurse. "Captain! the nurse is here!"

"Lady Maria is here!" She gestured towards the old nurse. The nurse took a look at Amy and patted her wrist gently. "What is it!? is she okay??" Jay asked. "Captain, does she have like..... a power within her...!?" Lady Maria asked. Jay Raised his brow in confusion. "Did you not know this earlier? everyone here knows that she possesses some healing powers" He replied. Lady Maria shook her head. "Her pulse is telling me something else" Rebecca looked at Lady Maria with a worried face.

She sighed and then handed Amy's pale hand into Jay's hand. "What are you doing!?" He asked in annoyance. "Check her pulse" She adviced. "I just checked it a few minutes ago! it was working slow but it was work-" He stopped. His hands froze into one place when he realized that she didnt had a pulse no more. Nothing at all. "Sh-She is... Not alive!?" He gasped. Lady Maria shook her head. "She is breathing"

Jay's suspicion now turned into reality. She sure had something inside of her. Well, obviously a power. But something even stranger then that. "Lady Maria....." He said, in a shallow voice. She looked at his blank, yet shocked face. "What did you mean earlier when you said she have something inside her??"

"Captain, not something like power. Something like the Utobian Crystal. Its like that is fitted inside of her" Jay's eyes widened as he looked at the old lady with shock. "No... this couldnt be..... that crystal is-" He was interrupted soon by Jimmy, who walked inside the room calmly.

"the most rare crystal to ever exist on Earth, it holds magnificent powers. Either can it be used for peace or either for the evil its up to the person who has it" He completed. "When did you get here??" Jay asked. "Its not relevant right now" Jimmy looked at Amy. "Let me see" He came up to her pulse-less, yet breathing body and sat down beside her. He put his right hand on her heart and closed his eyes.

After a minute, he opened his eyes. "What is it? does she have the-" Jimmy looked at him with blank eyes. "She have that crystal" Everyone in the room was stunned, including Jay. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN!?" jay yelled.

"Its in her heart"

"HOW DID IT EVEN GET IN THERE!?" he gasped. "it actually developed there" Jimmy continued. He got up and picked out a book from the nearby bookshelf.

"There is an urban legend that says: Inside the heart shall it begin, that magna-holic ubtobian stone. And outside the heart shall it come, when one pass the redemption" He finished reading and put the book back in the shelf.

"According to the legends, it develops in the heart of 1 person after every century. And when that person finally gives in to something, or sacrifice something dear to him...."  Jimmy stopped and looked at Amy. "Or her".

"It comes out of the heart, as a reward for the sacrifice" He finished. "So it means, she...." Jay tried to speak but couldn't finish.

"She is the person the crescent's need the most right now. The crystal in her heart can grant her every wish, on a specific period of time if used wisely. The ship can be protected of any attack whilst she, or that crystal is in here"

Jimmy answered. Jay leaned forward to Amy and checked her pulse again.

"But...." His voice felt lighter then usual. "Is she okay?" He asked. His question made Jimmy and the others stunned. "You are asking if she is okay?? since when do you care?" he asked. Jay had no answer to that. "Look, if that care and all is because of the crystal, you dont need to do that. This will only break her heart." Jimmy advised. "Dont give her the wrong idea, everyone knows you are a player" He continued.

"And another thing.... if her heart breaks way too much. The crystal breaks too. And then she is gonna die." He warned.

Jay kept silent. Cough Cough Everyone's attention diverted towards Amy, who finally atleast coughed after a long time of silence. "Amy!?" Jimmy rushed towards her. She slowly opened her eyes. "W-what happened??" Rebecca helped her up.

"You fainted in your room! are you okay!?" She asked worriedly. Amy held her head. "Well my head does feel lighter.... but iam... fine i guess" She assured.

Jay silently stood up. "Get some rest" he glanced one last time at her and left the room. This was when Amy realized that he was with her too. (He!? what was he doing here!?) she thought.

Jay walked out of Amy's room and headed towards the dining hall he had left half an hour ago. He stopped in his tracks when he saw a wave of people rushing outside the dining hall, in an undisciplined manner.

Jay boiled up in anger and ran inside the hall. There stood Kellen, gulping a glass of water while sitting peacefully on the edge of the table.

"Kellen!? did you do this!?" he snapped at her. "Did what babe?" she asked.

"You told everyone to dismiss, didn't you?"

"Uh yes i did" She replied.

Jay sighed and closed his eyes. Kellen looked at him, then slightly hugged him. "Awww! dont be mad! you know i just can't cut the habit of handling the ship work. Iam just practicing for when we get married and then i get to give orders, just like you!" She stated. Jay shook her hands off him slightly. "Don't ever do this again, understand?" He asked. Kellen nodded in a yes.

Jay stared at Kellen, who blushed by the intense gaze he was passing her. "Am i looking pretty?? why are you staring at me?" She asked.

"No, didn't i tell you that before? NO SITTING ON TABLES LIKE THAT. This is against the ship manners." He crossed his arms and his face went blank. Kellen hurriedly got off the table and put the water glass aside. "Sorry" She appologized.

"It better not happen again" Jay looked at her with a deadly glare. "Is that girl dead yet?" She replied. Jay shook his head in a no.

"Aww too bad. i would've loved to attend her funeral" She laughed but jay shushed her.

"Next time, try not to get yourself into something related to me" He warned and headed outside.

"WHAT!? NOW THAT BROKE GIRL IS SOMEONE RELATED TO YOU!? HUH!?" she shouted in anger, while Jay left the hall.

Amy was lying on her bed, with Rebbecca by her side. "Miss, take this medicine.... it will help with the headache" Rebecca poured a glass of water for her. Amy looked up at the ceiling and sighed. "I dont need any medicine" She stated. "But how will you recover if you wont?" Rebecca asked, while taking out the pill from a small bottle.

"Iam already ruined. Do you think medicine will help?" Rebecca went silent. "By the way..." Amy continued. Rebecca looked at her. "have you seen a silver necklace around here somewhere??? it has a blue stone on it" She asked. "No miss, i havent. Is your necklace lost??" Rebecca asked. Amy took a deep breath and nodded. "I lost it last night"

"It is something special to me." She said with a saddened tone. "What kind of special miss? oh, i get it. Someone special must have given it to you" Rebecca assumed. Amy shook her head.

"It has a whole lot a story behind it, iam too weak to explain right now" She replied.

"its okay, just take some rest. i wont force you for the medicine" Rebecca smiled and adjusted the blanket over Amy.

She carefully put the medicine bottle on the table and when she made sure that Amy was asleep, she left the room.

"Sir!"

"Come in, Rebecca"

Jimmy was sitting on the chair, with his feet up on the table. "She is asleep?" Rebecca replied in a Yes. Jimmy smiled and got up from the chair.

"You gave her the medicine before she slept, did you?" He asked. Rebecca who did the exact opposite, gulped. "Sir i..."

Jimmy glared at her. "You had one job and you couldn't even do it smoothly??" He demanded.

"Iam sorry Sir! But she insited on not taking the medicine! i couldn't just force it!" She explained.

Jimmy's facial expressions changed as he walked towards Rebecca. "Do you not know what happens when a person chose to disobey my orders?" He asked. "Yes sir but i-" Even before she could finish Jimmy pushed her so hard that she fell on the floor. "AHHHH!" she grunted in pain.

"Get out, before i kill you"
