"How could someone just leave thier child behind?"
She said in a fearsome voice. Then she relaxed slightly.

she sighed, thinking of her parents.
She smiled at him softly.
"I'm glad you told me about your father."

She closed her eyes as if she were trying to remember. When she started to speak, she kept her eyes closed.
"I'm not sure how long I've been alive. I remember my mother and father though. Both were commeners turned pirates. They had an entire fleet. Now its just down to the Lord and my men. My father was a big man, muscular. He had blond hair that tumbled in tangles and curls to his shoulders. He had a scar down his arm and peircing blue eyes. When he spoke, everyone listened. He never spoke very loud. My mother was his opposite. She was petite, with dark skin and brown eyes and black brown hair. She was loud though. I was raised on the ship. Raised among the men you see as my crew. That big one, his name is Daemon. He's a bit older than me. Rumor has it he's my half brother. My mother and father taught me how to make a pirate. I was about 15 when my mother and father vanished, along with most of the men. We found the ships some time later, wrecked and abandoned. I became the captain overnight. That didn't sit too well with some of them. They worked it out though, an' now I couldn't find a more loyal crew if I tried. I pick up men along my travels, adding to my crew. I'm not sure why we're ageless. "
She sighed quietly, as if she didn't quite want to continue.

"It feels better to tell you. I just hope it will make this next part easier to think about."
She said. Then she took a deep breath.
"A while later, I was already notorious. I had just added a new man to my crew. He was tall, with thick black hair and blazing green eyes. I loved him more than I had ever loved anyone before that. He was smart, and funny. He didn't drink, and he got along well with the men. Then I got pregnant. My child was a little girl with her fathers green eyes. She was about 5 when I lost them both. The guard attacked my ship in the middle of the night, and the only person on it was daemon and my little girl, Sara. He still feels guilty because he could not keep them from taking her. He still has scars from the beating he took. My little girls father and I were walking on land, buying supplies when the Guard shot him down, right in front of me. I barely escaped from them. No one outside of my crew knows about this untill now."
She shuddered, crying.
"A long while later I met you. and you know the rest of the story."
She was still crying.

She sat up and buried her face in her hands.
"I'm sorry I burdened you with that. It isn't something that you needed to know, but its something I needed to tell you."
She said, in a wavery voice.

She said with a sad smile.
