Pirates Dont Exist!

"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.
