I hurried thought the dark mostly empty cobblestone streets, my steps hushed by the rain and occasional thunder rumbling across the sky. I hurried out to the dock and the peirs where boats stay, I pased the wooden half broken tracks above the water having to doge holes for fear of putting my foot down one and cracking the old wood so much I fell into the ocean. I saw small boats and bigger ships looking everywhere for that name amiliana, I was about to give up maybe they cast of early or something. Till I reached the last dock and there nuzzled close to the cliffs, on the end of a long wooden dock sat the ship, it was old but beautiful painted black and red with Windows and high masts, there was one lantern lit on the deck everything else dark and on the side and back was written

'The amiliana'

I found it, I ran down the dock as fast as I could thought the heavy rain, the front of the ship had a wooden carving of a mermaid and there was a wooden plank leading from the dock to the deck of the ship.

I moved quietly and carefully not wanting to slip as the wood was wet and there wasn't any sort of hand rail as the higher I for the steeper it got and if I fell I'd go straight into the water I took a step onto the deck and saw a man laid by the plank passed out.

I looked around a bit before I saw a door, I carefully opened it revealing a dark hall of doors, each with a little window. I peeked in a couple most just men in hammocks fast asleep till I saw one it must have been twice the size of the others with a real bed, I Heard a sweet murmur from that room so I gently and silently opened the door sneaking Inside. There where dresses all over the place as well as books, a vanity with various hair brushes, make up tools and a few other such things, I saw in the little bed as she turned my sweet little princess. I couldn't help my smile putting my bag on the floor and slipping off my jacket hanging it on the bedpost I moved the covers a moment making her groan before I slipped into bed with her wrapping my arms around her sweet body she smiled in her sleep turning over to nuzzle into my neck "ummm Isaac" she muttered sleepily after a while of our cuddle

"Awww, you get some rest princess, I can't stay here I'm afraid someone will find me, I'll come visit tomorrow night" I smiled kissing her softly and slowly moving away from her grip replacing my body with a pillow in her arms even if I didn't want to leave but I can imagine I'd get thrown of this thing pretty fast someone found me in bed with her, so I grabbed my things and headed down the corridor more finding the various staircase down further into the ship, until I found a floor that was just filled with barrels of food and water so I moved a few towards the back and made myself a little space, setting up a little bed hidden away I laid down holding my blanket close as it was very cold down here, no doubt I was below the water line down here, I pulled my blanket closer thinking about this, I could be back at the bar in my little bed, I'd be warmer, I'd have money, I'd have food... Or I could stay here hidden away not even really being able to snuggle my princess? I thought about it for a good while but I knew I wanted to stay so I tucked myself up best I could and listened to the creaking of the ship and the snores of others aboard when I saw a little mouse move across the floor from one barrel to the next, it saw me and hurried over the sweet little white mouse sniffed me before running off again.

But not a moment later it returned with a slightly smaller white mouse and some tiny baby mice

"Aww... You guys want something?" I ask quietly "Well I don't have any food I'm afraid... But here" I smiled taking one of my shirts out and making them a little bed or nest all four climbed in cuddling up together, in the warm so I looked up hugging my pillow "goodnight princess" I smiled.
