I entered the recreation lounge after seeing that the door was open and the lock had been smashed off. I was surprised to see that the cupboards where all smashed open and items where scattered about the room.

"Captain Kruger must have been in here," I said to myself, "I wonder what it is he is looking for!"

I left the room to go and tell someone what I had discovered...

I saw Olivia Thorn rushing out of the recreation area. I tried to ge her attntion but she didn't notice me. I sighed.

Since coming onboard I have felt inadequet, usless and ignored. I had tried to make several friends but people seem to keep ignoring me. I don't know why this is. Is it me?

Then the pirates attacked and I would have helped but I did not know what to do! I tried to stay close to Brian Crandle but he abandoned me! The captain asked him to look out for me as we are the same age but he doesn't seem to want to.

I decided to go into the recreation area and have a stiff drink - something that I am not used to due to my age.

I entered the room and saw the mess. I gasped. suddenly the door swung shut behind me and I was grabbed by strong, hard hands.

"Haha, you look like the kind of guy for information" I boomed, trying to put fear into my voice.
I grabbed this guy hard and dug my dagger into his back. "Where is this...this...so called map I've heard so much about? Eh?!" I shouted prodding him in the back

I grabbed him and pushed his head onto a nearby table "Your all alone in here, no one can hear you scream..."

"I don't know about a map!" I shouted with my eyes closed.

I then turned to see the face of the pirate captain staring at me.

"You're Kruger aren't you?" I shouted, "I've seen you before! On Salt Station! You are brilliant!"

When I said this Krugers face changed and he lowered his knife.

"When I saw you I wanted to be just like you! Can I not join your crew?" I asked, "no one here seems to like me or want me around. They ignore me. Please take me with you on you crazy journeys!"

"How did you see me on salt station?!?! What did you see?! Did you see any one get captur...did you see my fathers ship leave with the..." I started shouting at him desperatly then realised as was almost giving away valuable information.

"Your only young, what brought you to salt station? Why would you want to join my crew? Your lying, you...you little shit!!" I screamed at him, I think he knows too much, he could have seen somthing...

I grabbed his innocent face and started to crush it with my scared hand. "Stop lying!!"
I pulled him up in the air and slammed him down onto the deck floor, the crack of the floor board crunched as he impacted the cold surface.

I heard a noise coming from the door, Shit! I've made too much racket they have heard me!

I spun around from the young guy and eagerly looked at the door.....

I used this as my oportunity. Of course I had been lying to him - I didn't want to become a pirate! I had seen what they did on Salt Station!

I raised the candle stick that I held in my hand and brought it crashing down on Krugers head!

"HELP!" I shouted as loud as I could, "PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME! IT'S CAPTAIN KRUGER! HE IS HERE!"

When I turned back around Kruger was on his feet. What could I do? He was bigger and stronge rthen me - I was just a boy! I swung the candlestick at him again but this time he caught it.

I panicked... I was going to die! Suddenly the door burst open. Someone had come to my rescue!

I looked into the room, my jaws dripping with saliva. Two people stood before me; one a young and frightened boy, the other a large and ugly man.
I stared at them both.
My small redeyes stared hard.
I opened my mouth to show a row of sharp, yellow fangs and I growled.
The growl was deep and rumbled from my mouth.
I could see that both of the men standing were worried.
I raised myself to my full height, making me look even more terrifying.
My black hair that was like wire was matted and bristeld as I took a step further into the room.
My tail whipped into the air and I pounced, my mouth open, ready to sink my teeth into human flesh!
I was a wolf! A large, scary black wolf with eyes redder then the blood. Where I'd come from only I knew. What I was doing here, on this ship, I did not know. All I knew is that I was hungry. I needed flesh and blood this night.



My fangs closed around an arm. It was the tall, ugly man! He howled in pain and tried to attack me but I bit harder. He kicked me in the ribs and I fell back - briefly. I growled even louder and punced at the man with my full strength.
I knocked him straight through the wall! We smashed through the wall and into another room.
(continued in galley)

I breathed a sigh of relief. That wolf had just saved me!
However, I got the feeling that the wolf didn't do it for me... I felt that he did it for some sort of crazy blood lust. I also felt that if Kruger hadn't been there then the wolf would have gone for me instead.

I left the recreation room and headed towards the galley to see what was going on.
