Pirates

You are an ordinary young girl who dreams of true love and a happy family life. You have always been kind, sweet and cheerful, and many people have taken advantage of your kindness, even your parents.

You loved animals more than people and always wanted to help them. Even if it was your last money, you bought food for homeless dogs.

Since you were 14, your parents, Nilona and Bilon, had been telling you that they had found a worthy man for you - Ben. But you didn't like him: he was overweight, shorter than you, and could do almost nothing. You could say that he was a mama's boy, for whom his mother or wife had to do everything.

Your life was not a bed of roses, more like a dish served ice cold and oversalted. But despite people's attitude towards you, you loved your life. Sometimes you could hide from people on the street, and you felt good.

On your 18th birthday, you were told that you would marry Ben, and it was non-negotiable. You cried a lot that day. You didn't want such a terrible life. You always dreamed of marrying for love. On the day it was supposed to start, you just ran away and ran to the sea. You found some ship and hid there. It turned out to be a pirate ship. Literally a couple of hours later, it washed up in the sea.

You could hear the pirates' voices clearly. As you understood, their names were John, Mat, Edward, Don, and Taran. The most important one was John. You sat in the small room and behaved quietly, realizing that you had accidentally fallen into the hands of the pirates. At some point, they became quiet, and you began to hear footsteps in your direction. Then the door to the small room where you were sitting suddenly opened, and one of the pirates, John, stood in front of you.

• My lady, what are you doing here?

John asked politely. He didn't seem that dangerous to you.
