It had been a few years since I've lost my heart but I have gained a pirated attitude, most called me Captain Red, and all that didn't bow down when I demanded walked the plank. Queen Esme passed away not a month before and now I was working hard on not only keeping my pirates together but in expanding beyond My former Queens former domain. Standing in front of a Heathen who had asked if I wanted to trade, My hand in marriage for the safety of my people. He had killed a few of my men and for that i was silently seething, as he told me his terms, as he spoke my mind ran through every lesson I had been taught. Quietly i walked over to where the Heathen sat immediately he started to grin at me as i run my hands across his broad shoulders, but the smile started to contort as I leaned down and whispered softly there was no deal. Before he could move I had cunningly put the daggers blade to his throat and slit it. Standing over the man I looked up into brother Cole's eyes. Both of us knew this was the best way to continue and after losing a few guys no one would make a fuss over me killing the scoundrel responsible. Cole casually went over picked the man up took him outside and threw him over board.
As I cleaned the blood off myself, I thought over how many men had come from everywhere since the Queens passing trying to force my hand into making one of them King. In My mind there was no room nor time for a King. Those I trusted which were few was enough for me. The ultimate goal was to trade with the north men or ransack them if they made another attempt to force me Sighing I let my maids clean up as I excused myself to the topside of the ship. Seeing Cole on deck i decided to climb up to the crows nest. My Fiery red hair whipped about me as I started off into the distance. How many times was I to fight to prove these waters were mine? How many times must I endure men's condescending words and actions before they see me as an equal or worthy of their acceptance. So many questions and all boiled down to as many times as needed. I have decided I would never allow anyone not even her dear brother to take what I have fought for. The former queen knew what she was doing when she trained Me. And there was no way in Hades I am ever going to stop fighting. Eventually I thought to myself Eventually it will all come together and be worth the blood sweat and the tears....
