"Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are!"
I was mumbling under my breath while gazing at the moon and its little shiny sisters, the stars. The room I was given had a relatively decent window, a circular and wooden one which was helping light to find a way in. The light was welcomed by me, as always, it felt safer when my surroundings wasn't drown in unforgiving darkness. It wasn't as if I didn't enjoy the night time, truth is, in fact it was quite the opposite. I never once stopped liking how it was giving serenity with great generousity or how it was helping people to sleep by embracing them with its delicate arms, the latter one was no longer applying to me though by virtue of this spell talent I had or the curse some called it.

Sleeping alone wasn't an impossible task for me but I always preferred not to do so, since the time went through like a dreadful experience, much more worse than a nightmare anybody could ever have. But a body, next to me, and its protective warmth were the only way out of these distressing moments. I never understood the reason why night creatures never haunted me during my sleep with the presence of someone's body lying next to me, but I was quick to accept it as it is and very grateful.

I left my room in order to find our gentle captain Chet. In first look, he might look like an average, arrogant and a somehow rude pirate, as people always enjoyed giving labels, but with a closer one he had the heart of a mother, or in this case, a father. When I opened the door of his room, the emptyness revealed and I couldn't help but pouted like a little child who lost his cherished candy. Disappointment was written on my face when I decided to try once again, this time with our lovely captain's favourite place in this whole ship, cellar.

As I hurried my steps to the other side of the ship, someone from the crew, who probably never fond of my existense here, passed by me, whispering his vicious words without thinking how it could have affected me. I was used to it, yes, "the monster" they very much enjoyed calling behind me but even if I had never tried to protest it before, it did not mean I was not hurt afterall. Contrary to what they believed, I was not made of from stone heart, and I was still a human, not the monster they claimed I was. They were killing too, and with a great enthusiasm I should admit if I had a say in this matter.

Odds were probably against me today, as our captain was nowhere near in cellar, too. Hoping he would have come soon, I let my body fell onto the mattress on the floor without caring how much dusty it seemed. Just as I was about to drift into an another frigthening sleep, his firm yet sweet voiced was heard and I felt his warm hands caressing my hair. Peeking my one eye, I nuzzled his hands willingly, hungry for his touch, without thinking too much. "Like how, Captain Chet?" I asked, yawning. Slowly I found strenght to get my sore body up, only to rest on his bigger body. Had I have not just woken up from my sleep, I might have tried to seduce him but unfortunately, my mind was still clouded with numbness. "What brought you here Chet-Captain Chet?" I questioned him, playing the stupid. Expecting some pleasure never made you a sinner, I always believed in. I would have rather die in a corner if I ever lost the meaning of satisfaction.
