"We need the map. We don't have enough time" six pirates sat in the slightly moving captain's cabin having an intense discussion. Tension was think in the air making it hard to even breathe.
"I know Lee. But we have no idea where the map is" Daisok said rubbing his temples in frustration. He was really frustrated with the thought of never finding the map. Daisok didn't want the hard works and struggles of his and his crewmates to go in dump. He looked around seeking any ideas.
Leehyun's patience was getting best of him and Just as he was about to speak again the cabin door burst open revealing the youngest one panting "Jax you alright?" Peter asked with frown etched on his face.
Jaxon shook his head and sat beside Zayd, feeling the thick tension in the air he took in a deep breath and looked their captain straight in the eye. "I know where the map is" he breathed out still panting.
Air in the room changed into something heavier but this change wasn't so bad, now they all felt excitement, shock, relief and mixture of some no so easy to describe emotions.
Their widened eyes weren't doing any justice to their emotions and feels. "Apparently there's this pirate who knows about the treasure map" Jaxon said in all seriousness.
He looked around to study their expression, each held a different face, but none could be deciphered. Giving him a blank face Zayd spoke up "are you serious Jax. You said you know where the map is not the person who knows about it". Jaxon sighed knowing this would happen. "I know but the person I'm talking about is the only one who can get us to the map" he reasoned.
Trying his best to get his point through and make them understand but some still didn't look satisfied with his reasoning. "How do you know if the one you're talking about knows where or what the map is for sure?" Leehyun asked on his crewmates behalf curiously, knowing Jaxon was never wrong gave him some advantage, but Leehyun still wasn't sure about his answer.
Closing his eyes for moment he relaxed, Jaxon knew his members and how they would react but that doesn't mean his irritation was pointless. "First of all every pirate knows about the the map and the person I'm talking about is a pirate. Second of all I don't know how or why but I just know and you all have to believe me" Jaxon replied his tone switching to pleading one showing how desperate Jaxon actually was.
Someone had to speak up and defend their younger. So, jashan did that. Being the oldest one he is his statement can be the end of discussion if Jashan wants it and that's what he did but surely in a polite way. "I believe you just because I can see the sincerity in your eyes" Jashan spoke up after staying quite for a long time.
Jaxon gave him his oh so famous bunny smile and thanked him trying to show how thankful he honestly was "thank you" .
"Ok then Jax tell us where is this anonymous person is right now." Tom asked raising his eyebrows. Of course Tom had to speak up and calm his curious mind. Being the curious cat he is he likes getting his answers no matter what even if it means inviting trouble itself.
"As far as I know she's at her island right now"
" A woman?" Daisok questioned interested, it's not every day they saw a female pirate. Daisok is not the one to judge or discriminate but knowing a woman being pirate can spark a curiosity even in the most open and laid back mind. A woman who can be known as a curse to even board a ship being a pirate is definitely something of the captain's keen interest.
"Aye. A woman" Jaxon answered, amused.
He loved the reactions his fellow mates had making him want to see this pirate even more "which island?" Peter asked getting curious, but of course he wasn't more intrigued than the one and only Tom
"Caribbean" he said and Peter nodded.
Peter was quite happy to see land after months on water. Not only him but they all wanted to go on some stable ground after being on a moving ship for a long time
" Wait. One question" Jashan piped up. Jaxon nodded signaling him to continue.
" what's her name?".
The glint in Jaxon's eye didn't go unnoticed.
He was exceptionally amused by the female pirate's 'name'
"The siren queen."

The room was filled with chaos, everyone shouting at each other, some even trying to throw things.
Discipline was strange word to the people, they loved chaos either it be good or bad and this time it was bad Getting frustrated she shouted "SILENCE" and just like that the room went completely quite, so quite that a small pindrop could be heard clearly.
Authority and fear seeped through her eyes making the fellow in the room squirm in their respective places.
Satisfied with the quietness she cracked her neck."Thats more like it. Now tell me what's the problem." She demand leaning forward, her gaze so intense it could kill. Lucky were the people sitting in the back but it wasn't the case for the ones in front.
They knew one wrong word and they will be quite forever. The people in the room audibly gulped showing how terrified they were again.
"q-queen S-simon isn't submiting t-the gold" the word queen was a real pleasure to her ears, fear in the man's voice made her feel fuzzy and bubbly. Strange right? But why was she addressed her as queen? She was no royal blood, hell she was from what world called a 'filthy up to no good pirate family' . She was this island's queen because she runs the whole Caribbean not on respect she runs it on fear, fear towards her, fear about how not listening to her could be the last the thing this island's residents do.
Even as a woman they feared her to death and once again it made her feel all kind of bizzare but good emotions.
Looking over at the said man she raised a brow. "And why is that?". He one habitual gesture made the said man sweat profusely, his eyes diverted everywhere avoiding her fiery eyes.
"I-" he was cut off by an angry mid-aged man.
The man seemed to be in his mid 50's, his eyes droopy making it sure that the old hag was extremely drunk making him loose his senses and letting him disturb Siren's meeting. "Seriously why are you people so scared of a woman" he said making a disgusted face, everyone looked at him.
They all had a different scenario playing in their heads. Scenarios of how will their queen finish off this old man. "I mean she's just a mere woman who's supposed to follow our orders and fear us not the other way around. Women are just our sla-" before he could continue any further she cut him off by putting a bullet right through his head, without even looking.
That's the advantage she had, being annoyingly good at everything. A good aim wasn't all she had, she learned far more skill from her parents then a experienced pirate ever could.
The shot was good enough to take his life away instantly and now the old drunk was lying lifeless on floor, the floor where a lot of blood has been spilled, only it was never Siren's but the unfortunate victims who dared to challenge her rule.
"Eh. I never liked him anyway" not even glancing at the cold body she put her lovely blunderbus back on table and she stood up. Not in the mood to negotiate or judge anymore. She cracked her knuckles and get used towards the door with her head.
"Well lucky you, my mood is ruined now. We'll continue this meeting tomorrow. You all can leave now" People started leaving one by one, relieved that don't have to live in the constant fear of getting killed any moment But one man stayed.
"B-but my queen-".
"I said tomorrow Chris." Without questioning any further he went out, his head hung low. Chris didn't have enough courage to talk back to his queen, especially not after today's events.
After making sure everyone is gone she slumped back in her seat trying to somewhat relax and let her mind be free of this exhaustion. It was hard to be a pirate and manage a island on your own. Siren wasn't on the land 24/7 she came to visit Caribbean once a year and settle everything and then after that she goes on the sea again.
Just as she was about to close her eyes and drift away to a much needed nap. Someone came in running, startling her for a moment before she composed herself.
"Siren!".
A light voice shouted her name with great urgency. Groaning she asked
"what now?".

Loud chatters filled the bar. Some were getting drunk while others were just chatting, getting immersed in their own gossip about the latest happenings on island.
People sat on tables, some sat on the bar stools, some were alone whereas some were with their significant other or friends, groups were also in the bar occupying large tables However the chatters died down when the bar door was kicked open.
The aura changed, it turned dark and suffocating. All eyes were on the door that was hanging on it's hinges. 7 pirates entered, heads held high and and chests puffed just like how a pirate should appear.
The air around them would have been charcoal black if aruas had a color.
Bar was eerily quite, no one uttered a word anticipating the pirates's next move. Fear could be sensed in the air, making everyone dread their decision of coming here today. Zayd looked around and caught a man who tried to sneak away by his collar.
The man was freaked out, he trembled praying to whoever sits above to spare his sinful life.
"Where's siren?" Zayd sneered at the the terrified man. Scaring him even more and making him loose the hope of going out of there in one piece. The fear made this random man's mouth go dry, no matter how he try he couldn't even a letter.
" Why do you ask?" A woman behind the bar asked. Her skin was as dark as chocolate, it glowed as if she emitted light herself, her eyes however were a full contrast to her beautiful skin. They were like the beautiful sky on a cloudless day and her hair were short and dark, swaying with every movement she made.
"We have some business with her." Daisok. Their fiery pale skinned captain nodded his head indicating how powerful he was.
" No need. I'm here" siren said entering the bar while putting on her coat, Siren's presence made each and every person in the room bow except the seven heavenly handsome men, but ehem that's not what she's here for.
Siren's appearance was of pure goddess. Her body was perfect just the way she was complimenting her appearance even more, her dark raven hair were long but not too long just a accurate length which would make fighting and killing easier, eyes were so deep that it could drown someone in her caramel pools. Her eyes held none but millions of emotions and stories in them making whoever looked at her eyes wonder her life, her skin was a ethreal sunkissed shade and lastly her height and face were like a bonus which gave her beauty a boost.
She went where those unfamiliar men were standing and said in a mocking tone.
"Siren at your service. How may I help you?"
