It has been three days since we set off for the sea of monsters, and it was going relatively well. We had only run into one or two monsters so far, which was nothing we couldn't handle. I was currently on watch on the upper deck since we were getting close to the sea of monsters. Serafina, who had gotten a little bigger, was at my feet.

"Anything yet?" I heard Clarisse ask. I shook my head. "Looks like a storm!" I called back. Clarisse nodded. I was beginning to head back in when the boat began violently rocking. Serafina looked at me and meowed nervously. "Victoria!" I heard Clarisse call. I clung to the side of the boat. Suddenly I was washed overboard. I heard Clarisse shout and I saw something dive in after me. It was Serafina. I swam up to her and grabbed hold of her, allowing her to breath. That was the last thing I remembered as we sank into the deep.

Marguerite's Point of View

I was out walking on patrol around the island when I came across a rather strange sight. There was a young female mountain lion prowling around the body of a young girl. I immediately rushed over but the mountain lion snapped and snarled at me. She appeared to be protecting the girl. I stepped back and put my hands up. "I just want to see that she's okay." I said. This seemed to put the lion at ease and she stood back. I immediately rushed to the girl's side. She had a gash on her forehead and I could see that she was deathly pale underneath all the sand and seaweed. I immediately picked her up, shocked at how light she was. "This isn't good." I mumbled, immediately beginning to head back to the compound, the mountain lion got on my tail. Once I was there I was immediately swarmed by everyone else. "Where's Elder Nyon?" I asked. Not even a moment later the old woman appeared. "Oh dear, she's lucky you found her. Another hour and she may have died." She said, taking the girl to her hut. I left to allow her to do her work, frowning when I saw the mountain lion. The poor thing was pacing back and forth despite everyone's best efforts to calm the creature. "We should probably tell her majesty about her." I heard Sweet Pea say. I nodded. "We'll wait until she wakes up." I replied, and right now, that was all we could do.

Victoria's Point of View

When I woke up the first thing I noticed was the throbbing pain in my head. I reached up to touch the spot finding it wrapped in bandages. I groaned and tried to sit up. "Don't move young one, you've had quite a night." I heard an old woman say. I looked around to see I was in a hut. "Where am I?" I mumbled. "Amazon Lily." The old woman replied. "Is that anywhere near the sea of monsters?" I asked quietly. The woman seemed confused by my question. I felt as though a thousand pound weight was dropped on my shoulders I realized I must be in another dimension. "Are you alright little one?" The woman asked. "I'm not sure. Is there someone in charge who I can talk to?" I asked. The old woman nodded. Suddenly the curtain covering the doorway was pushed aside revealing a pretty blonde girl who was wearing a skimpy, yet very flattering, outfit with a live snake wrapped around her waist. "Ah, Marguerite, perfect timing. Our young friend has waken up and wishes to see her majesty. Why don't you take her there?" The old woman said to the girl. She smiled at me and I smiled back. She helped me down from the bed I was on and lead me out of the hut towards a large compound. "This place is beautiful." I said as we walked. Marguerite smiled. "Yeah, it truly is. It's also the purest. No man has ever stepped foot here." She explained. I raised an eyebrow. "Really?" She nodded. We continued walking towards the biggest building in the compound. She lead me into what appeared to be a throne room with three women in it.

The one in the middle was sitting on a giant snake and laying with her head in her lap was. "SERAFINA!" I said happily. My familiar immediately jumped up and ran towards me, tackling me playfully. She licked my face happily. "I missed you too! I was so worried." I said, hugging her and nuzzling my face in her flank. The woman on the snake stood up and walked towards me. "She's a beautiful creature." She said. I looked up and stood. "Thank you. I got her about a year ago." I explained. She smiled at me. "I am Boa Hancock. Empress of the Kuja and Amazon Lily." She said to me. I bowed politely. "I am Lady Victoria Cedrella Peverell née Weasley. I became Lady Peverell when I was emancipated at the age of ten." The empress tilted her head. "Emancipated? You left your family, why?" She asked. I frowned. "I left my family because my mother refused to acknowledge me as her daughter. One of my half brothers convinced her that I tried to hurt my older twin sister even though it was really a monster. I was tortured and abused everyday by the three of them, and my older half brother constantly raped me and to top it off they used me as a slave." I said, starting to cry. I suddenly felt someone wiping the tears off my face. I looked up at Boa Hancock who looked as though she was going to cry. I looked back at the other two women who looked the same. I looked down at Serafina who was nuzzling my leg. "I'm sorry for what happened to you." She said. She suddenly frowned and turned back to someone behind her. "Enishida, draw a bath for Lady Victoria, and use my bath. Ans while you're at it, get her a fresh set of clothes too." The black haired girl nodded and walked out of the room. Boa Hancock helped me over to where the other two women were. "Victoria, these are my sisters. This is Marigold," she gestured towards the orange haired woman who nodded to me. "And Sandersonia." She gestured towards the green haired woman who smiled gently at me. I smiled back. "It's nice to meet all of you." I said. Soon the black haired girl Hancock had sent away came back. "Her bath is ready and I have several outfits for you to choose from." Hancock nodded. "Thank you." "Do you want me to accompany her-" "No, I can handle it." She immediately cut her off, leading me into a large bathhouse, her snake following after us. The bath was more like a small pool. Hancock turned her back to me and allowed me to undress. I winced when I felt some of my wounds reopen. I grabbed a fluffy white towel and wrapped it around my body. I heard a small gasp when I noticed Hancock looking at the word 'Freak' that Ginny had carved into my back. I looked down at the tile floor. She pulled me into a hug. It was the type of hug a mother would give and it made me want to cry. After almost a minute she pulled away and brushed my hair out of my face, helping me over to the tub. Once I was in she sat at the edge of the tub with her feet in the water. She began to wash my hair, smiling gently. "You have such beautiful hair. You should let it grow out." She said with a smile. I shrugged. "It was. My former brother decided to cut it short after he and my former twin sister tortured me." I explained. She frowned. "I can't believe they would do that to you." She said, beginning to rinse out my hair. I sighed and partially sank beneath the water, blowing bubbles out of my nose. Hancock laughed at this, brushing my hair away from my face. I smiled a little as I saw her snake swimming around in the water. I laughed as well, standing up and stretching. I smiled as I felt Hancock wrapped a towel around me and pulled me into a hug. I laughed and hugged her back. Suddenly I had a thought. "Hancock, would it be okay if I called you Mom?" I asked quietly, looking up at her. She looked a little shocked and I was afraid she would say no and then she might hate me. "Of course." She said, giving me a smile. "I would be honored if you did." She added, kissing the top of my head. I smiled at this, snuggling close to her. She helped me out and helped me get dressed into a princess style nightgown.

She lead me into a beautiful room and tucked me into the bed.

"Sleep my little one." She said, kissing the top of my head. "Goodnight Mom." I said sleepily. I soon fell fast asleep.
