Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece

You ever have those moments where you wonder how you got yourself in a certain situation where you have no other choice but to go through with it? A situation with only one solution or you're dead? A situation where you have to question your sanity on more than one occasion? No? Well I have. Many times. You can blame my captain for that.

You see, it was just like any other day on the Sunny. You know, the stooges playing their games, Zoro sleeping the day away, Sanji fawning over Robin and I, Robin calm and collected ignoring his comments, and me, I was concentrating on the log pose. Here's the thing, I have to pay attention to three needles and the one that shakes the wildest is the one most sane people would avoid, but you don't know my crew. We have a rubber-man, cyborg, skeleton musician, notorious liar, talking reindeer doctor, pervert chef, nocturnal swordsman, all-knowing archaeologists, and then there's me.

What? You think I can't be normal and sane and apart of this crew? Yeah well, you're right for the most part. I have this superhuman ability to predict the weather but other than that, I'm pretty much your average girl.

What? Oh come on! Fine. I might or might not have a slight obsession with treasure. There. Happy?

Anyways, like I said already, I was paying attention to the log pose completely blocking out all the background noise: the laughing and yelling, Zoro's snoring, and endless compliments courtesy of Sanji. The thing had to be busted or something. All the needles were pointing in the same direction and even weirder than that, they were all shaking wildly. And even more bizarre, they were all shaking in time. Freaking broken. Or, so I hoped.

When I concluded we had a busted log pose, you can bet I was beginning to freak out. I mean, how could I keep calm in that sort of situation? You either have a broken life-saving tool, or you have a life-saving tool that's trying to lead you to your death. So like I said, I freaked out. Face pale, eyes wide, and sweat everywhere. Of course Sanji noticed. He was right beside me and complimenting anything and everything he could (and couldn't) see.

Naturally, I ignored him. Maybe if I stared long enough it would fix itself? I never had this problem before and I was bent on believing it was broken. Trust me, a broken log pose is easier to deal with than an entire island set on killing you and those you care for. I could always use an eternal pose if need be. And then I remembered we didn't have any of those and thus I became a freaking mess.

"Ah! Nami-swan! What's the matter? Robin-chwan do you-"

And that's when things got scary.

I couldn't really see what was going on around me, all my senses were zoned in on the log pose. I couldn't move my head, let alone my eyes! It was like someone was holding me in place. I could feel a faint throbbing in my head. On my head too. It felt as if someone was pulling my hair and it hurt, but…not really. It felt more like a loose tug with a few strands being yanked. But the pain was getting worse the longer I was forced to focus on the log pose.

And then I felt a shiver run down my spine. A light giggle right next to my ear. Another behind me. And then I was surrounded. All over I could hear the eerily happy and delighted giggles. They sounded like children. But there were no kids on the Sunny excluding Chopper (who wasn't really a child anyway). They were suffocating me! All around. In my ear, in my head! I couldn't breathe, I couldn't move, I couldn't scream. Then, just like that, they stopped. I was released.

I felt as if the sun went out I was shivering so much. My hands felt like ice. My whole body did really. Yet, through all the shivering and chills, I was soaked in sweat and my face felt hot. Almost as if the sun decided to live in my head instead of the sky like it should.

I was just vaguely aware of the others voices. They were shouting and sounded frantic with their running and stomping echoing in the background. The last thing I heard before passing out was my captain's loud voice and a faint, haunting giggle.

Ah! This is going to be my first multiple chapters fic, so I hope its off to a good start and you enjoyed it for the most part.

I'm sorry for any and all of my mistakes! If she sounds too OoC can you make suggestions? Along with grammar and spelling and such?
I'm still not good at choosing categories, so I hope they're okay for now.
