You deserve this

"There's no where for you to go just come out and we might give you a painless death."

I look at the old man and he just shakes his head before sliding deeper into the shadows. Every step the man takes comes a creaking that means I'm getting closer to death. I start shaking before sliding in a little crevice. 'CRAP! THE CHEST!' I think before coming out of the crevice and putting the chest under a little tarp that smelled like moldy cheese.

"I watched you come down here I don't care if I have to tear this place apart in order to find you."

"Fine." The old man says I look out a little and see the old man standing up and coming out of the shadows.

The man chuckles before laughing like an absolute maniac. "HOLY!" He laughs more before stopping abruptly. "You scared me." He says before smacking the old man. My eyes widen in horror as the man starts beating the older man. "Did you really think you were going to get away with being on our ship?"

"I've gotten away with it for 28 years now." The old man says spitting out blood. The man stops talking before saying

"Then you deserve this." He grabs a knife and stabs the old man in the chest he pulls it out before stabbing him again and again and again. I throw myself into the crevice and plug my ears so I don't hear the screams of a man being stabbed to death. Finally the muffled screams stop after what feels like days. "Stupid." The man says before picking up the old man's limp body. He walks out of the door and a few seconds later I hear a splash before he comes back and closes the door.

I feel a warm liquid start running down my face. 'Why am I crying?' I think before wiping it off my face. Every now and then I hear a rat or two and hear the sound of a rat running across the floor.

I wake up to the sound of screaming.

"GET THE ANCHOR DOWN!"

"I THOUGHT BROG FIXED IT!"

"I DID!"

Then the sound of water splashing and the ship abruptly stopping meaning the ship is anchored.

"WHAT DID YOU DO DONOVAN?!"

"I DIDN'T DO NOTHIN! THIS SHIP JUST SUCKS!"

"WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT MY SHIP YOU TWIT? I BOUGHT THIS SHIP WITH MY OWN MONEY AND WILL MAINTAIN IT TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY YOU TWIG!" Brog yells before I could hear stomping above me. The door opens with a groan and someone starts walking down the creaking steps.

"Stupid dwarf. I need a drink." Some sloshing and a burp later the stairs creak open again and the door is closed with another groan. 'I need to get off this ship.' I think before I step out of the crevice grab my chest and throw open the door.

I'm assaulted with an amazing scent of baked food and cooked meat.

"HEY! WHO ARE YOU!?" Someone screams. I turn and see people running towards me with swords.

I turn around and bolt to the ramp and look for a way to open it. 'THERE!' I think seeing a lever that connects to a rope which I hope goes to the ramp. I make it to the lever and yank it as hard as I can but it doesn't budge.

"GET HIM!" Men are yelling. I hang on the lever but it still doesn't move and the ramp is too high for me to climb. "WE GOT YOU NOW!" They keep yelling.

"WAIT!"
