Alaniana Bluebeard perched on the rail of her ship. All of her former regal elegance returning to her. Lanie wondered how long she'd have to keep up her facade of responsibility. It suited her more as a pirate, but she still hated it."Hey, you, in the mask." a voice broke the captain's thoughts.

"Yes?" she asked coyly.

"Take the mask off."

"What if I refuse?"

"It depends."

"On what?"

"Whether you captain this ship or just playing masquerade."

"I am the captain of this ship and I refuse to take my mask off because I am Lane Bluebeard! Now must I stay docked here? Because I have every intention of leaving." Lane's voice echoed through the harbor, her heart loudly resounding the cry.

"I am required to take you into custody, then." The guard nervously stated as Lanie took off her boots. "You sure you don't want to reconsider?"

"I refuse your kind offer!" she doffed her borrowed hat, the white feather waving its apologies.

"This is an offer you can't refuse." the guard grabbed her arms and began pulling her off the ship.

"Remember Me!" Lanie screamed, her heels searching for purchase on the cobbled road."
