Nonchalantly, I walked down the street. I hadn't planned it, I didn't know who or where or how. He walked by me, and I knew. I knew that it was he; he was the one. I took out my knife and waited till he passed. He was taller, it didn't matter though; that would not help him. As he walked by I reached up, and rapidly slit his throat. I kept walking, although I knew people were watching. I just couldn't help myself. It's fascinating to watch people die; to wonder what makes them die. I had nothing against that person. It just seemed like the right thing to do.

I decided to hide out in a bar. There were so many drunken men in there that I thought that it would not be such a bad place to hide. I spotted a man, pirate by the looks of him, talking to another man. I decide to eavesdrop, but I only caught pieces of their conversation.

"---Ye know Will, that kid that killed that man in the street today---they be look'n for 'im. They be say'n that he probably be work'n for pirates."

"Jack, you can't believe everything you here now, can you---what do you say we track down this boy and see what he's up to?"

"Aye, but ye don't have that much time now. Not with Elizabeth and all. I suggest ye leave the catchin to me. I'll be lettin ya know if I spot anything."

I had heard enough. I knew that Port Royal wasn't safe anymore. All I knew was that I had to get out of Port Royal, and whatever I do, I must not let the men called Jack and Will find me.

I decided to find someone to take me as far away as possible from Port Royal. I went to the docks and found a ship. I wasn't sure what it was called because it was very shadowy and murky that night. I climbed aboard after I was sure that no one was there. I concealed my weapon in my coat and went to sleep in the nearest room I could find.

When I woke up, I cautiously peeked out of the door. It was around dawn and it was very misty out, so that it was very difficult to see. I cautiously stepped out of the room. I put my hand on my knife, when a man grabbed me from behind with an eye patch over his left eye.

"A stowaway." he said eyeing me with his right eye. He picked me up and took me to a room, which I took to be the captain's quarters. I also took it that he was the captain. "What ye be doin on my boat boy?" He said eyeing me suspiciously. I knew that I had to make up something quick, so that he wouldn't kill me. I still had my hand on my knife, but I knew that I wasn't quick enough to lunge.

"I want to become a pirate." I came up with quickly. The Captain rubbed his chin as though he was looking me over. After a long pause he finally talked.

"Ye be just a boy, fifteen by the looks of ye. What be yer name boy?" the captain asked still eyeing me.

"Jonathan Knoll." I said quite uneasily.

"Well Mr. Knoll, welcome to the Scavenger." He said while getting up from his chair. "I be Captain Pierce." With that he walked out of the room and on the deck.
