<strong>Ailsa MacCrory, boarding the merchant vessel.<br/></strong><br/>I've always been pretty sure that once on the deck of the enemy they would soon surrender. Amidst the gunfire, which was a welcome distraction for me to throw the hook over the mast  of the merchant ship, I swung aboard the merchant ship and found myself to be the first on. Having no pistol I was fully aware of the risks but the truth was, with so many of their own men aboard, no merchant would take the risk in firing a shot. Besides they were a little busy as the pistol fire still sounded from The Courtesan.<br/><br/>I landed on the deck a little harder than I had planned but quickly regained myself and looked around if I had been spotted already. Most of the crew aboard the merchant ship will still recovering from the initial shock of being fired upon and the poor souls were scrambling for safety. Not being a killer myself I knocked one of them out with a well aimed blow to the head with the handle of my sword.<br/><br/>“Goodnight.”<br/><br/>As more of my fellow Courtesan’s landed I looked around and noticed something way off. There was a female on deck wearing something that showed me she wasn’t part of the crew of the ship. That means she was worth ransom or was totally useless or maybe a servant of some rich person. Either way, a young girl was always good fun for pirates. In stead of taking her captive right here and now I quietly followed her making sure not to make any sounds louder than the screaming and murdering as we went deeper into the bowels of the ship. As the female walked faster and faster I had to make sure to keep the doors she passed open and with one dagger between my teeth I used my free hand to hold the doors from falling into the lock.<br/><br/>When she arrived to what seemed to be her destination she knocked the door and walked in, without looking back. Foolish girl. Grinning at the door and her panicked voice behind it I knew I had hit the jackpot. This girl had ran all the way across the ship to warn her master or mistress and she had not found me. I waited for them to come out to take them back to MacBert.
