They were a family, a dysfunctional family, but nonetheless a family. The most important thing was that each one of their specialties were the best of the best. Making them one of the most feared band of pirates that everyone knew as The Deadly 7. Their faces are never seen, since they are only seen wearing masquerade masks. Rumor has it, if you did catch a glimpse of one of their faces, you were about to die.
"Excuse me sir! I am afraid I am lost" with a pout on her lips the young girl asked a man hiding in the shadows of the pub.
The man had already been watching this young girl who entered the pub about 20 minutes ago.
She had gone around asking people for directions, but the men were either sleazy while the working women thought she was trying to steal away their cash out for the night. And who could blame them? The young girl was quite beautiful.
Tempted and tipsy from the few pints he had already drunken, he thought she would be an easy target for the night.
"What are you doing in a place like this? It is not suitable for a young lady such as yourself to be out by yourself". The man slowly stepped out from the shadows and revealed a charming smile.
"I got lost, I was following my brother, but I lost him in the crowds! The sun is starting to go down and this place is so big" her adorable obsidian eyes started welling up with tears from fear and frustration.
He patted her head comfortingly, "you can't just go up to random strangers, they could have bad intentions" he said while giving her a stern look of concern in his eyes. "Here, I was on my way out anyways, how about I escort you home so nothing bad will to happen to you? What's your name?"
She smiled up brightly at him as if she just found her savior, "my name is Xia, thank you so much kind sir. I don't know how to repay you!" She squealed with excitement at her luck!
. . .
I live just beyond the orchard, but these streets are so winding and confusing I don't know how to get out! It's like a maze!" She pouted her cute pink lips and grabbed onto her new friends' arm for support.
He gave her a small reassuring smile, "Don't worry I know these streets like the back of my hand!" he proudly pointed to his chest. All the while steered her farther and farther from the orchard and towards one of the darkest alley's of the city.
He couldn't stop thinking about what was about to happen. She was definitely the most beautiful girl he has ever seen. He did his best to contain his excitement with anticipation building for the highlight of his night.
"Thank god, I found you! I don't know what I would have done!" She beamed up at him with her bright eyes then looked forward at the dark streets they were walking down.
Her smile began turning into something a little more sinister, 'Thank god I really found you . . .' she thought to herself as she squealed with delight inside.
"We should almost be out of these winding roads; I know a short-cut up here. Shall we take it?" The man asked politely and turned to look at the young Xia with hopeful eyes.
"Uhm. . . it seems kinda dark . . . but if it will get me home faster . . ." Xia hesitated before agreeing.
"Okay, let's do it!" She said with determination filling her eyes.
"Great! We will get you home in no time!" Smiling, he proceeded to lead her down towards the ally.
'No wonder girls fall so easily, this bastard is a fantastic actor' rage began building up inside her petite body, but she remained calm on the outside.
As they turned into the ally, the man was careful to lead her down a way's away from the street to prevent anyone passing by hear her screams.
"It's awfully dark down this alley!" Xia had laces of concern within her voice.
Finally! the moment he had been waiting for!
