Shout out to the amazing readers here that made me realize how good is writing is to and to the other story teller here in Read.cash that made me inspired a lot to do this hope you all like it btw, This is my only account I will post a story only no more involved just story only

Chapter 1 (unfinished)


AS LANA LOOKS into the distance and survey the endless ocean from the atop a rope ladder, a sense of dread fills her as she noticed a ship with dark sails approaching the double sword and Kraken sigil all too familiar. Watching its inevitable arrival makes her limb feels weak and bitter anticipation begins to weigh her down . this isn't any ordinary ship its the bounty hunter ship that stole her away from her home 9 years ago forcing here into a life where shes berated,beaten,and broken into a person she hardly recognizes.

Incoming ship on the startboard bow! Lana forces her self to yell as the ship comes closer, her obedience causing something to dislodge itself within her, leaving her shaken and uneasy.

One of her many task while shes aboard the ship is to announce the arrival of any friends or foe that makes their appearance on the horizon. She wishes she had the courage to stand up to them but after years of scars etched across her body and memories of the agony she has endured engraved in her mind. All act of defiance. No matter how insignificant they maybe neber seem worthwhile; at least not any more.maybe once they were; Maybe she was braver and more foolish, but after so many years defiance has become a burden that she cannot afford to hear.

Standing confidently upon the freshly mopped deck, Captain henry drax of the sea Terror looks up at her in the jacobs ladder with a cruel grin. He seems to have knownthis ship would arrive today and the day he bought her from them must be just us unforgettable to him as it is to Lana. Flashes of faded memories steal her breath away as she remembers fire and screaming and so much agony. Her breath starts to come in short gasps and her world starts to fall away as she descends into a memory that seems oh so distance and yet still manager to tear a visceral reaction from her body. She squeezes her eye shut and,like she has done many times before forces her self to take deep breath and Return to the present. As she opens her eye she fight the urge to look away from Drax as anger,shame and fear dominate her. Every inch of her screams of terror and trauma thats buried deep but she cannot let him win. This is not his victory to take from here.


After watching her reaction for a moment,a smirk spread across Drax's features that only she can see he and he turns away,perversely satisfied by her reaction. His husky voice echoes accross the ship and in instant everything is alive, moving as one in preparation for the bounty hunters' arrival,a flury of ropes being adjusted and crew members disappearing below decks. Lana watches them all with sick sence of interest as something nauseous build in her stomach imitating a vicious kind of sea sickness and trying her stomach into painful knots,making her spirits sink further.

The hustle of the ship spurs her into action and she starts the ling descent down the ladder. As she moves closer to the site where the transaction will take place and see other slaves being whisked down below decks, their presence blissfully unimportant, the burning question of why she treated so very differently from any otger slaves on this ship rises with in her. From the moment Lana was bought,she had become Drax's personal puppet she become lookout for foreign ships,his his messenger,his errand runner, but most importantly his victims. She bears the brunt of his anger as other slaves watch on a terrified,morbid curiosity forcing them to stare at her Drax's cover her body in blue black blooms of color. None of the other slaves carry these bruises; that is privilege reserved for her alone;they maybe forced to row and clean until they collapsed, but only she feels Drax's wrath as it caresses her each evening with vice-like grips and closed fits.

To be continued!!

Watch out for the continuation of the story!
