I saw Pete struggling with Darren Blank and rushed to help him. I put Darrens arm over my shoulder an we beagn to move away from the brig.

"Are you sure this is such a good idea?" I said to Pete, "taking Blank with us I mean. Who knows what he told the Pirates. Don't you think it's strange that Kruger and his crew knew exactly where to look for us?"

I nodded, shifting the weight of Darren. I moved my eyes towards Mr. Blank to Olivia - indicating that he possibly had somthing to do with Kruger attacking our ship.

I moving shadows in the corridoor outside..."Our team could be in trouble, check it out, I've got your back" I moved my hand to point forward towards the door and my free hand got ready holding my sword

whiles pete and Olivia was taking care of Darren i was on my way to see where ther rest of the teem was.

We managed to get Darren out of the brig.

I followed Petes instructions about going first to find out what has happened to the rest of the team.

I still had my concerns about Blank.
(continued on Deck)

I entered the brig to give some water to the prisoners when I noticed that Blank was gone! I couldn't beleive it! He was too weak to escape on his own so he must have had some outside help - The Kingstons crew! The dirty bastards had boarded us!

I made the call for all pirates to search the ship for them. If they were still onboard then they'd soon be dead!

I walked over to the prisoner in the far corner. She looked dead. I kicked her in the ribs and she spluttered. Not dead yet. The Kingstons crew must have thought she was dead too or they'd have surely rescued her!

I threw the water at her and spat at her face.

"Enjoy the drink scum," I growled, "it's the only one you'll be getting fer a while!"

I kicked her again and laughed. I loved mocking the prisoners - especially this one. She had caused such a fuss when we had first caught her. The great Penny Dreadful- not so great now!

I laughed again and then left the room - leaving her in darkness and on her own...

Damn that Gregor. And Kruger and his crew.
I'd been rotting away in here for what seemed like forever. I'd been keeping myself to myself, knowing that was the best way to survive in a brig as rotten and filthy as that of the 'Valtriani'

I had started to hallucinate to myself in this hellhole. I could've sworn I'd seen Blank being carried out of here...not by Kruger's men, but by others.
That water Gregor threw at me had woken me up. Blank was gone. Maybe it was not a hallucination, but a reality.

Reaching out as far as my chains would let me I grab at the jug which lay on the floor. Eventually, using all the strength I can muster, I reach it, and I hide it behind me...waiting...

I entered the brig again and walked over to Penny Dreadful. She was awake.

"ello my lovely!" I said with a manic grin on my face, "you ready to talk yet?"

I sat her upright against the wall and showed her a plate of food that I had had made in the kitchens.

"Cptain Kruger is not onbaord anymore... chances are he won't be comnig back. That means I'm in command of this place now! And I want the same thing the captain did... the Lost Map!"

I looked into her eyes. all the weeks she had been our prisoner she had sworn she knew nothing about the map. She was probably telling the truh but I like dot torment her.

"Darren Blank told us it was on the Kingston... I don't think it is. Tell me what you know about it Penny... tell me where it is... and I'll let you 'ave some food. Don't tell me... and yer'll starve!"

I laughed. I waited for her responce...

(continued from deck)

I rushed into the brig. The ship was shaking violently and the hull was comming apart! Water was leaking everywhere! The ship was going to sink!

I looked about for Tes but she did not seem to be here! Then a man stepped out in front of me. His name was Gregor!

"Another of Kingtsons crew!" he growled and lunged at me.

However, as he rushed at me with his swrod outstretched, the floor beneath his feet gave way and he fell downinto the oceans depths!

I saw a woman chained to the far wall. She was a prisoner and looked terrible! I moved over to her and freed her chains. Picking her up, I rushed back out of the brig towards the deck...
