Mannix had finally got the hang of this whole pirate life. he was out helping the crew dock.

I was told to stay under the bunk. I had wrapped myself around his pack gaurding it. nobody bothered me though. I was just Mannix’s Bitch, his gaurd dog.

once they got the shipped docked Mannix whistled I put the pack in the cell and managed to cover it with straw then I headed above deck and sat down by his side. the captain gave his orders and the crew left the ship Mannix with them.

we finally got out of sight from the ship and the rest of the crew and Mannix put the necklace on me.

“hey, beautiful” He said with a smile on his face.

“how long do we have” I asked blushing

“until sundown” he said. grabbing my hand and pulling me towards the Inn.

at the Inn he gave the lady some of our gold coins and she gave him a key. I followed him up to the room.

…

I woke up in the bed with Mannix by myside. the first bed I had in weeks. “Wow” was all I manged to say.

“I know comfy right” He said gazing at me.

“yeah, sure beats the wooden floor of the boat” I responded.

“Im really sorry” he said kissing my forhead.

“we should probably get going” I said “ we need to get supplies”

“of course my love” He said with a smile on his face.

we left the Inn hand in hand and headed towards the market. "were are we” I asked

“sand villages” he said

“home of magic” I murmmered under my breath.

“I need you to do your other thing now” He said giving me a shit eating grin. the one he makes were he knows that we could get in trouble.

I knodded and started heading towards the crowed grabbing evreything and anything that I could fit in the pockets of my ragged dress.

we met close to the docks in an ally were I gave him the loot. and I took off my necklace and we headed towards the boots.

...

I layed under the bunk wrapped around the pack as normal. then I heard yelling I hurriedly put the pack in the jail cell and made it above deck were I was the crew around Mannix weapons drawn. I pushed my way to the circle garded and growling trying to protect my mate. but they got to him and they knocked me out.

next thing I knew I was in the jail cell with a chain on my ankle my love laying nexgt to me.

“Mannix my love are you okay” I manged to cry. cradling his head in my hands

I didn’t get a reasponse his warm eyese were now blank and and where they stabbed him was done bleeding. I tryed shacking him screaming his name but nothing. I got nothing.

“Bitch shut up” yelled Nelson the whole crew was with him laying in there hammocks or around the dimmly litted table in the back

I mangaed to get to my feet. my head spinning “you killed him” I accused

no reasponse from them just laughing and drunken singing. “Im talking to you” I yelled loudly,

Nelson got up he was a langhty guy not big looking. He unlocked the cell and punched me. as I fell on the floor he grabbed Mannixs body and locked the door. “bitches stay quiet. or walk the plank” He said. “captains orders” he smirked.
