It all started when I was six years old. I lived in Moldor... with my mother to be exact. Before I was born... my mother had the most beautiful eyes and hair in the entire town maybe even in the entire city. Everyone thought she was beautiful even though she was Ullr. Every man wanted her as their bride and ever woman wanted to be just as beautiful as her. She soon married a man who devoted his life on protecting her and they got married eventually having me... but one day... the man was murdered by the navy. Right in front of our eyes and I was at the age of four years old then. 

My mother cried for days and I hated the man for leaving us just because he wouldn't let us fight alongside him. Ever since that moment I thought the man was stupid and foolish. My mother changed after that day stricken with grief and we found out a navy officer wanted my mother's beauty for himself. He was the one who ordered the man killed and he went by the name of Kai. He terrified my mother everyday... then one night I watched my mother cry with tears streaming down her face. I could tell this was very hard on her. 

"Jamie" she said, as I looked at her beautiful crying face. 

"Mama... mama can't live without papa" she said, as I held her hand. 

I paused feeling her hands were cold and trembling. 

"Mama... it's okay... we can be a family together and make papa proud" I said, as my mother cupped my cheek with her cold still trembling hands. 

"Jamie... mama... mama knows your a tough girl... you get that from your papa... but I'm not strong like you or papa... so... so be strong even without mama" she said kissing my forehead. 

"Don't be silly mama, I can help you, and we can do it first thing tomorrow" I said, as she smiled sadly and made me lean back in my bed. 

"Be strong my little fire cracker" she said closing the door.

I laid down and tried to sleep. I soon stopped when hearing a thud. 

"Mama?" I questioned looking at the closed door. 

I slowly got up and tip toed to my door. 

"Mama?" I called out again, but no answer. 

I slowly turned the knob and the door creaked as I slowly opened it. 

"Mama?" I questioned again peeking out, but nothing.

I slowly walked around and walked down the hall. My eyes then widened seeing a rope over the stair case railing and at the bottom of the tangling rope was my mother. 

"MAMA" I screamed, and as I did people came knocking at the door and shouting came from everywhere. 

Soon the doors busted down and I stopped when the navy officer named Kai appeared. His eyes widened seeing my mother dead. He got my mother down and then he glared at me. 

"Why would you do this to your mother?" he asked, as my eyes widened. 

"I didn't" I tried to say, but he interrupted me and slapped my face. 

Tears crawled down my face and he glared at me. 

"You will be executed as soon as possible" he said, as I started trembling. 

The words of my mother soon filled into my head. 'Be strong my little fire cracker'. Everyone was crowding around me and I grabbed a gun one of the navy officers was carrying. 

"What do you think your going to do with that?" asked Kai, as I glared at him and pulled back the hammer. 

"Go ahead" he said, as I shut my eyes and pulled the trigger. 

I heard a thud and I opened my eyes to see a navy officer had dropped to the ground. 

"You just doubled your bounty" he said, as my eyes widened and I ran passed them. 

"CAPTURE HER" he shouted, as I ran out the door not looking back. 

I made my way to the docks looking around for... something... anything to help me either hide or leave. I jumped into a small abandoned boat and sailed off. I looked back to see that no one was following me. I lowered my head and started sniffing and crying.

Eventually I reached an island within a week... at least I think it was a week. Which was good because I was starving. I climbed a tree and ate some bananas that were growing from it. I then stopped hearing crying. I climbed down and walked towards the crying. I then saw a baby. I looked around, but saw no one around to claim it. 

"Anyone lose a baby?" I asked, but no answer. 

The baby continued to cry and I walked towards it. I gave the baby my finger. The baby soon stopped and cooed sucking on my finger causing me to smile. 

"Well since no one found you... how about being my baby sissy?" I asked, as the baby laughed clapping its hands. 

"Well how about we eat first and then we name you?" I asked, as the baby clapped its hands laughing again. 

"Good" I said, as I picked up the baby and looked for shelter. 

I walked into a barn and started taking milk from a cow. I found a glass jar and a glove. I washed the glove with a hose that was in the barn and tied it to the top of the jar. I also managed to poke a small hole at the top. 

"Let's see... you usually have to warm up milk" I said, as I held it over a small fire I made outside the barn.

I tested the bottle on my wrist and nodded when it was ready. I then slowly lifted it up towards the baby's mouth. 

"It might not look good, but at least you can eat" I said, as the baby sucked on the finger tip of the glove. 

When done I held the baby close and it cooed in my arms. 

"Let's see... how about Amanda?" I asked, as the baby's face scrounged its face. 

"Hmm... how about Heather" I asked, as the baby spat out bubbles. 

"Yeah... your right I don't know what I was thinking... hmm... how about Alexis?" I asked, as the baby smiled and clapped her hands. 

"That sounds good too" I said, as I stopped when I heard footsteps. 

"Well hello" said a voice, as I stopped and looked at a priest giving me a fake smile. 

"You must be lost... why not come live at our orphanage?" he asked, as I held the baby close and glared at him. 

"I see... your a halfie" he said, as I got up with Alexis and held the homemade bottle close. 

"Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you" he said, as I looked down at Alexis. 

"What do you think?" I whispered, as I paused seeing Alexis whining a bit. 

I then growled as he grabbed my hand. 

"Come with me" he said forcibly, as I stomped on his foot and he shouted causing Alexis to cry. 

I managed to run back to the boat and put Alexis inside with the bottle. I quickly ran back grabbing the bananas I left from this morning and put them in the boat too. I pushed the boat off and climbed in with Alexis still crying. I looked back seeing the man growling at us. Luckily we were half way out to sea when he reached us. I picked up Alexis and cradled her. 

"Don't cry, sissy is here" I whispered, as Alexis' crying dimmed. 

"I know how about a lullaby?" I asked, as Alexis stopped crying looking at me with tears. 

"Sweet little baby don't you cry, sissy is singing a lullaby and when you finally go to sleep, please don't make a really big peep. We'll go on adventures and have some fun... and before you know it the... day... is done" I said having tears crawling down my face. 

I then paused when Alexis grabbed my hair falling asleep. I then smiled and hugged her close. 

"Sissy will always protect you" I whispered, as a few more days went by... Alexis and I made it to Yamato.

Little did we know it, but our lives would change for the better. I got out of the boat once in a town called Yamato and looked around. I saw tons of people were running away from... me. I didn't know why... until I saw my picture on a wanted poster. 

"That's no good" said a voice, as I stopped and looked up seeing an old man with an eye patch. 

He took it off and placed it over my head covering my right eye... my mother's eye. 

"There now your a totally different person" he said, as I blinked a few times looking at his scar that his eye patch was hiding. 

"Don't blame those sours... they hate anything with the law... besides a little spark like you just needs a family right?" he asked, as tears started building in my eyes. 

"Please help us" I said holding out Alexis. 

He stopped and smiled. He held up Alexis and then patted my head. 

"Alright, but once your old enough I want you to be trained to protect yourself understand?" he asked 

"Yes" I said, as he tugged on my nose. 

"That's, Aye captain to you" he said, as I paused. 

"Aye captain" I said cheerfully, as he chuckled. 

"Good girl" he said, as I smiled brightly. 

That was the first time I had been called that... it made me really happy.
