"i'll be home soon, see her loving green eyes dance as she takes me into her arms." a night person, but not a winter person, he couldn't stand the cold, but being a dreamer, if he concentrated hard enough the cold went away, sometimes he lost all connection with reality, he lost all senses...he couldn't feel, hear...smell...see...this wasn't one of those nights... it wasn't as clear at first, but with strained eyes and the moonlight being in his favour, murex recognised the object as a vessel- a full blown- real life ship. beautiful if his opinion was asked for, fit for a king himself...captain should be happy. by now the young boy was now swiftly but regretfully climbing down from the watch tower toward the deck. with a suitable vessel for takeover in view, it dawned on him that he would be required to fight should the 'negotiation' not go 'as planned', murex wasn't much of a fighter. it was understandable, if you lived in dreamland, there can't be much time to listen to someone lecture you about front-stance this, back-stance that...level...suspend...balance- sprint-attack....defend...pause-think-anticipate..."where did that come from?" he thought to himself.murex wasn't sure how, but he found himself stranding at the captains door...a candle light flickered, the captain was obviously not yet lost in the dream world like the majority of his crew.knock. knock. knock. silenceknock. knock. kn...the door swiftly opened to reveal a half dressed ruffian, his ebony hair shrouding his agitated features, hands clasping the door frame."what the fu..."murex cut him off before he received a beating."i've spotted a vessel. captain, it should fit our needs very well." his head was hung low, the captains eyes

ought out his demonic side, murex didn't care to meet them at this point in time."have you gone off your stupid head? you and i both know that we're no-where near the path of the vessels headed to the new found land. there can't be any vessels here murex, we only just set off! it this supposed to be funny." his voice was getting louder with every syllable."but sir..." murex found himself against the wooden wall as the captain pushed past him and advanced down the corridor toward the deck. something at the back of his mind told him to follow the captain, he obliged. murex soon found the captain climbing up to the watch tower, looking though the telescope, adjusting it then ringing the bell that was close-by. almost immediately the crew had arrived, most were in their night wear. they had learnt to be light sleepers under their captains command."it seems that the god are in our favour once again, a vessel has been spotted south west pf us, they are headed east. it is situated only a few hours away, prepare yourselves, for we will be advancing on them at dawn.~*~*~her eyes widened in astonishment, she slid down to the floor in her stupor at watched...watched as they fell, their blood staining the deck. her eyes trained on the blood that was flowing, flying, and splattering in all directions...unexpectedly her whole visage began to change. the cabin room transformed into a beautiful bedroom designed for royalty, a canopy bed draped with silk was situated on the far left side, the oak planks beneath her transformed into the softest most indescribable material. next to the bed was a cream coloured dressing mirror adorned with jewels. tearing her eyes away from the battle in front of her which was slowly disappearing, her eyes flashed around her, she jumped up stunned. overhead was a glass chandelier...a voice caused her head to snap into the direction of the door. the voice was familiar, one that she knew and loved, but just couldn't place. the woman's feet took steps toward the door, her body moving without her minds command, she was confused but nevertheless she kept on advancing, out of the door and turning right. she was now walking down a corridor, it was painted red, there were picture frames on the walls, large ones, but the pictures themselves were blurred as if they had been deliberately smudged... the was one picture, an oil painting of a young girl. her long sandy

own silk-like hair arranged in ringlets, her face was angelic, emphasised by her innocent smile, and her eyes...the woman found herself blinking in semi-recognition. her eyes...they shone,

ighter than any star in the night sky, these eyes were priceless,

ought out by the expensive green dress she wore.then...she froze..her own eyes glazed over as a shrill scream filled the air, it sent a chill down her spine to the very bottom of her soul...it had been a scream of fear and immense pain. suddenly the young woman was able to control her own movements, and with this new found control she quickened her trance-like walk into a run...she stopped at a door...half ajar. shadows moved on the wall, cast from the moonlight shining on the people within, once again her hand went to push the door open...she froze...something waswrong...air...

eath...hard..

eathing was becoming a harder task to perform by the second...her hands instinctively flew too her neck, she found that strong hands were already clasped around it, but they were intend on the opposite task her own hands had deemed to perform. suddenly out of a hazy mist a face appeared in-front of her. his eyes, they were blue almost like the sky on a cloudless day...these eyes were cold, like ice, his face, long, slender, beautiful and his hair...his golden hair looked like silk to touch...his voice..."well what do we have here?"...cut like a knife made from ice-caps. the mirage that was the former beauty disintegrated before her eyes, along with her control over her body. coming to a realisation that she was still on the ship, her neck was released only for her left arm to be captivated...the young girl found herself being dragged along...destination unknown...to be continued.hahahaha! i feel so evil.....mwahahahahaaaaaaaaaahahaa!!!!!!!!!!i know its still a little it hazy, but names shall be introduced next chapter...of who...i'm not too sure. i wonder what's gonna happen to the girl...hmmmm......maybe someone should give me some suggestions...lol. no really, i'm really enjoying writing this, it's great that you like it. thank you so much. *throws roses at you*oh yeah, i just wanted to apologise for the over-use of the word 'she'...and 'he' and 'her', i think i'm just paranoid about that...i'm trying to not get names of our main characters involved yet...not till the next chapter...forgive me...oh i don't like this chapter now...lol...he, she, her and his every two words doesn't sound so appealing now...be nice if you're going to review...lol.
