Dream "Mommy! Mommy, what are you doing?!" A young girl screamed as she was lowered into the cold, dark water. Her screams turned to gurgling as her mother held her under. She stared up, bubbles floating to the top, like a dream. Her mother was crying. "I'm sorry, so sorry. It's better this way." The mother cried, her teardrops falling into the water. The little girl struggled against the hands, but soon found herself unable to move. The scene suddenly changed, it was now an older girl, a stronger girl being held under. This time she was able to push the person off of her, it wasn't a mother, but a man. The young girl sat up, shock filling her when she saw-
Pier sat up in a cold sweat, breathing heavily, the same dream, it was the same damn dream. Pier sat for a few minutes, calming down. Finally she stood up and walked to her window, staring out into the ocean. Her hair was stuck to her face from sweat, she hated the water.
The next morning she met up with a good friend of hers, Mattie, "We was thinkin' of going to the beach today, you comin'?" She asked, Pier shook her head, "Naw, I got work to do." Mattie pouted, "Well, be careful, I heard the weather was goin' to take a turn for the worst." Pier nodded and mumbled a 'You too' before going on her way.
It was late in the afternoon, it seemed Mattie wasn't lying, the sky wasn't it's normal color. Pier shrugged, catching a glimpse of her reflection in her cup. She stared at her tattoo in hate. Her parents gave it to her, they had hidden treasure, which she knew where it was but refused to go, it wsa after all surrounded by water. She wanted nothing to do with that treasure, unfortunately, the same tattoo on her cheek was imprinted on the gold.
She listened to a couple chat away, "Yeah, there was a pirate ship spotted not too far from here, they landed in Krington, tok everything. Luckily they completely skipped us. No pirates coming here, that's why I came." She told her boyfriend.
Pier listened closely, 'Pirates...?' She never heard much about them, they were never talked about here, seeing that the only drama this island ever saw was natural disasters, prostitutes, and the occasional murder, hearing this talk about pirates was pretty interesting.

Zion stood at the helm of his ship, watching as the Port came close and closer into his view, he hummed, pleased. "Remember men, when we get there ye've got to be good lil' lads..." He said, his voice not very loud but everyone was listening to him carefully, they didn't want to get on their Captain's bad side, he could get a little bit moody.
They sailed into the Port and docked ship, putting the sails away and tying up there vessel before the crew went in to go and get drunk and fuck some whores. Zion slowly walked off the deck and down the gangplank, walking down the docks and whistling quietly as he did.
He was flipping a gold coin, and that coin just so happened to have the same marks that Pier had. Zion looked around, just waltzing through the streets, looking like that pirate cpatain that he truly was. He wore a long black coat, his hat was leather and worn and he had a cutlass and a gun strapped to him. His eyes scanned around, checking out the woman and the men of the Port without care.

Pier wondered around town, wasting away her day. She didn't have much to do. She breathed in deeply as she entered a bar. Rei, a good pal was sitting there drinking away his life. She took a seat next to him and ordered herself a drink, "How'ya doing?" She asked him, she hadn't seen him in about a week, he just got back from a 3 month sail, and judging by his messy appearance, it didn't go so well.
Rei looked at Pier through half-lidded eyes, "Oi, Piiieeeeeerrr." He slurred, "Got miself fired. Stupid fucking job. Hey, why don't me and you go sailin', find that family treasure that's been kept hidden for so long." Pier stared down at her drink, he was one of the few that knew about her family's hidden treasure. He was always trying to persuade her to take him, then they'd be rich and never have to work again.
Pier wasn't going to respond, she had little energy to deal with the drunk.
Mattie laughed with her friends, she was enjoying her day before she had to work the streets tonight. She paused, spotting Zion, she smirked and walked up to him, "Hey there cutie, lookin' for a good time?" She asked, winking at him. Her eyes caught a quick glance at his cold coin, she recognized those marks. "Say, what's that ya got there?" She asked, pointing to the gold coin.

The black haired man paused and looked down at her curiously with his one good eyes. "This, lass, is a gold piece... A very interestin' one, the only one i've ever seen like it." He flipped it in the air and caught it and then showed it to her. "Why do ya ask, love?" Zion felt a little flutter of excitement, perhaps this young woman knew something.

She bit her lip and stared at this coin, her firends watched from a distance, curious and a little scared of this man. "Well....it's just strange is all. Mi friend, best friend 'as that same markin'." She told him, looking him in the eye. She suddenly felt sick, as if she said something she shouldn't have. Mattie always had a tendency to say things she shouldn't, and countless times her mouth got others into trouble. "Well...maybe I'm just seein' things, shouldn't listen ta me, I'm an uneducated whore." She was scrambling, trying to cover up her mess, "Oh, ya know what, mi friend, she doesn't 'ave that, no...'ers is...uh...flower." She lied, she was an obvious liar. "Well sir, I best be on my way." She quickly said and turned to leave. The look on her face told her friends that this man was someone not to be messed with.
Pier left the bar about an hour later, she groaned and rubbed her head. She was making her way to the beach, her friends my still be there. She passed some people, whispering about some shady people coming into town. Pier raised a thin eyebrow, but ignored the gossip.

"Eh now, lil' lassy, dear." His arm wound its way about her waist and he reeled her back close to him. His mouth was near her ear, his hot breath beating down on her slim neck. "Why dontcha tell meh just where tha' friend of yers is, I promise i'll make it worth yer while." Zion ran his hand over the girls stomach slowly. "An' I mean tha' i'll spare yer measly life an' i'll even give ye some gold... Hows tha' fer an agreement?"

Mattie shivered, it wasn't a good choice, but she needed that gold, really bad. It was the difference between starving or not. Mattie sighed, and stared at the ground, "...I'll take ya to 'er home. Follow me." She told him, instantly feeling the guilt.
Pier wondered around aimlessly, staring at the sky as she walked and humming a tune quietly. She decided to go home, she had gone to her friend's favorite beach, but she wasn't there. Pier was a little surprised to see Rei there. "Oi! Why you 'ere?" She asked, kicking him lightly, telling him to move as she unlocked the door. Rei goraned and stood up, "Needed a warm place ta stay."

"Good girl, very smart ye are." Zion whispered and stood straight, allowing her to lead him to this friend of hers place. He continued to flip the coin around in his hand, feeling excited, he had heard wind of a treasure, a hidden one, a secret one and he would love to get his hands on.

Mattie nodded and lead the way, "Betta be paid good for this." She mumbled.
Pier let him inside, "A'right, I'll be back, jus' goin' to take a shower." She went into the bathroom, splashing her face with water, she turned the knov on the faucet, but nothing came out, "Damnit." She cursed, the water had been shut off. Pier tied her hair up in a messy bun and left the bathroom. She paused, Rei was standing up, he looked defensive, she glanced across the room, "Mattie...?" Then noticed the male that was with her, "Pier, I'm sorry." She told her, apologizing over and over. Pier stared at the two, and when she turned her head to Rei, her tattoo became very noticable.

His hand slid into his coat and he pulled out a bag og gold and dropped it unceremoniously into the womans awaiting hands. "Get out of 'ere now." Zion ordered and stepped forward, looking at pier and then the piece of gold in his hand. "Now look wha' I got myself 'ere..." He grinned widely and showed Pier the gold dubloon, wiggling it about. "Tha' looks like the mark on yer face, love." He pointed out softly, looking a little bit more demanding suddenly. "Care te explain why ye migh' have the same markings?"

Pier glared at the man, and at her friend's retreating form, "I ain't telling you shit." She snapped at him, she was a little shocked that he had a piece of her family's gold, she was curious about how he got it, but wasn't going to ask.
Pier reached into her pocket, gripping a small knife tightly, she always carried it around with her, for safety. "Leave. Now." She ordered, her tone very serious. Rei watched the interaction, and moved to stand in between the two, "Get the 'ell outta here! Fucking creep." He shouted, spit flew from his nasty mouth, "Ain't no one want scum around here, go on! Leave, find someone else to bother!" He yelled at the man.

"Ye mus' not know 'oo yer talkin' te lad." Zion let out a laugh and his hand came flying forward, gripping Rei around the neck and dragging him closer. "Ye watch tha' nasty mouth of yers aroun' a man like me, or I may have to rip out yer fuckin' tongue." He whispered, his voice soft and sweet as he stared down at the man with his one good eye, squeezing his throat. Idly he threw the man to the ground and pulled out his pistol, aiming it at Rei's head and cocking it.
Zion met Pier's eyes, he grinned at her, his teeth were nice, straight, white and perfect. "Ye'll be tellin me everythin', luv. Or else yer friend 'ere gets it. Now let go of tha' toy yer playin with in yer pocket, ye'll jus' 'urt yerself more." He warned her and his grip on the gun tightened, he would shoot Rei if she didn't give him the information that he wanted.

Pier glanced at Rei, then back at Zion, she pulled her hand from her pocket and folded her arms across her chest, "Doesn't matter what I tell ya, you'll never get in. Sealed tight." She informed him, "So it's useless, why not move on to easier pickin'?" She asked, trying not to show fear, "I heard about some treasure the other day, in an underwater cove, much easier to get to, just go there." Her eyes were cold.
"There, I told ya, what else could you possibly need, the key to get in, ha, fat chance at that." She snorted, looking away from the man, "There ain't no key." She stated, finally looking back at Zion, "That's all I'm tellin' now let 'im go." She nodded her head towards Rei, "Please." She added, though not meaning it.

Zion put his pistol away but he didn't leave, he looked pleased but also agiated. "Don't go tryin' te yank my chain." He grinned and walked over to her, grabbing her by the hair, his fingers tangling in it, he gave it a vicious tug, forcing her head back, making her stare up into his eyes. "I don't wan' no fuckin' easy te get te treasure tha's proally worth nothin' a all... I want yer fuckin' treasure." He tightened his grip so hard that he was almost to the point where he could rip it out.
"Now either ye tell me everythin' there is te know abou' it... Or yer comin' with meh, princess." He said, using his free hand to gently stroke her cheek, he looked calm, but his actions weren't, he was showing her he was in charge, he was making his dominance known immediatly.

Pier winced in pain as he pulled her hair, she felt disgust when he stroked her cheek gently. Pier glared at him, "Ugh, even if I told you the exact location you being able to find it would be like figuring out how to pleasure a woman, not likely!!" She tried to push him off with her hands, but she wasn't strong enough. "I already told ya though, you can't get in, you can blow a whole through the place but it won't matter." She told him, "Now, you can kill me, but then ya ain't never gettin' to that treasure." She smirked at that thought. Pier, just to piss him off even more spit in his face, "Now. Get. Out." She commanded, trying to show him that he didn't scare her.
