A couple weeks have passed since Basil had finished his tale of pirates, vampires and lover’s triangle. One night though after dinner, Basil sat in his chair with his pipe in hand as the kids were coming out with Kate holding Lee in her arms. He smiled as the kids were going to get dressed for bed.




“I’m surprised….don’t you kids want your story?” said Basil with a chuckle as the kids gasps and rushes to their spots.


“You finally figured it out?” said Kate


“For the most part. You kids ready?”




The kids nodded as they waited in anticipation. Once Kate sat down with little Lee in her arms, Basil took one puff of his pipe before he began.




“Well then….”




All night the grand Naval Vessel The Golden Sword spent trying to search the seas for a possible boat that might contain their now slowly changing Navigator; Lee. Their second navigator forced behind the wheel with his wrist handcuffed to it.  The Captain and his second in command kept an eye on him as well as their captured prisoner; who still refused to tell them everything as the rest of the crew that was still alive searched.  It was getting closer to sunrise and they were no closer to getting answers or finding Kate.




“We’re getting anywhere with Moriarty like this.” said Captain Strade


“Why don’t you let me talk to him?” said Fane


“You’ll only kill him.” said Basil


“That’s a possible chance….but i have a better chance of getting him to talk than you two.”


“Let’s try it.” said Captain Strade


“No offense, but have you lost your mind?” said Basil


“It’s almost sunrise, we are no closer to finding this ship and Lee than we were hours ago. We need him to give us answers….even if that means letting Fane do it.” said Captain Strade.




Basil curled his hands into a fist as he held his arms behind his back. Still trying to be professional as agitated as he felt while two of the officers uncuffed Fane and took him over to Moriarty down below. Basil was ordered to follow them as he was brought down to the cell where Moriarty was locked up and chained in. They got Fane in and closed the door as Fane looked at Moriarty. Studying him for a bit before approaching him and lifting him up by his chain.




“You have ten seconds to explain where Lee is and how we find her?”


“Only ten….”


“Before I feed from you. It’s almost sunrise. I could stay here all day and slowly torture you till I can come back out….one…..two….three…..”


“Go ahead, but it’ll do you no good.”


“Six….seven…..”


“I just know the mermaid took Lee to her friend after telling her of Lee being stuck with idiots….which im still right.”


“Did she say who this friend was?”


“A captain of some sort. A woman.”


“A female Captain? don’t be ridiculous!”


“I saw the ship when the sun was setting. A black rose was on it.”


“Black Rose…..no….”


“What is it Fane?” said Basil


“That ship….is The Black Rose. Who’s Captain has been called Death’s Bride. I must admit i’ve been intrigued by it. Though they only take others on if they plan to make them part of the crew…..”  Fane snarled as he brought Moriarty closer “Is that what the trade was for? You’d give the mermaid someone to bring back to the Captain….and what would you get in return?”


“Information on the location of The Fountain of Youth and the mermaid’s tears.”


“That’s just a myth.” said Basil


“Oh, but how else do you think the Captain of The Black Rose has been alive for so long. The original Black Rose was said to have lived for a hundred years. The current Captain….was her first mate.” said Moriarty. with a wide grin across his face.


“Where is the ship now!” said Fane with venom in his voice.


“It’s been said that she likes to be either around an island near the Caribbean or she likes to be between Italy and Spain….good luck finding her though. By now she could be anywhere.” said Moriarty as his cackle could be heard echoing throughout the ship. The officers had to grab Fane quickly and handcuff him again before he could kill Moriarty.


“Be reasonable Fane. It’s almost sunrise.” said Basil.


“Fine!...Take me back to my quarters.” said Fane as he got his posture back as they got him back to his quarters before the sun was completely up for the day.




Basil returned to deck and explained it to the Captain. They went back to the Captain’s quarters to figure it out. Though once they did, they got the crew going in steering the ship to the coordinates they had figured and first heading to the Carribean.



It was hours since Lee was brought there and for most of the day she had been in her quarters sleeping. She would wake up a couple of times after dreaming of that night. Finding out that she was changing into a vampire and fallen in love with the man that was changing her while she still loves Basil. It felt like a nightmare, but then remembered it all happened and that she was now on The Black Rose. It was when she woke up again was when she heard a knock on the door. She didn’t feel like getting up, but didn’t know if she should till she heard a voice that wasn’t Captain Lana’s.




“It’s me miss….I helped you with your clothes earlier. May I come in?”


“Yes.”




The door opened to a mouse with short brunette hair that just barely caressed her pale cream furred shoulders and neck as she wore a loose fitted men’s shirt with the sleeves rolled up, brown pants and bare footed. She came in with a plate of food and a gauntlet that Lee could only assume was more tomato and blood mixture.




“Captain said you need to eat and drink some more.”


“I feel like every time I drink that I’m becoming a vampire.”


“It isn’t that. An unfinished changing vampire will die if doesn’t drink and since you’re not drinking blood alone than you won’t change.”


“But….the one that was trying to change me said that I was drinking his blood.”


“And it may be…..but you don’t know that. Either way, even if you were, you didn’t drink directly from him, right?”


“Right….”


“and you’re not dead, right?”


“Right.”


“Then you won’t change. You had to have drank directly from him and died in order to become a vampire.”


“So….who’s blood did I drink earlier?”


“Mortal blood. We have a couple of feeders on here.”


“I’m not going to become one, am I?”


“No. The Captain has a great interest in you.”


“Oh….okay.”


“Now, you must eat and then rest some more….have you been having any dreams?”


“Only of everything that happened last night before the mermaid took me.”


“Does it trouble you?”


“To find out that I had fallen for the man that was trying to turn me while still in love with my fiancee; who was so jealous and wanted to argue with him so much neither of them noticed that a mermaid grabbed me….yes I would say it troubles me some.”


“Well….as  much as it may not feel like it. You are in a safe place. A lot of the women are on here because of the troubles back home. Whether it be of lover, family, or just because.”


“But you’re pirates….”


“Yes and we do steal, slaughter and sometimes kidnap, but after some point we always give them a choice. To leave them wherever the next land is or they can stay. Some chose to go, a lot chose to stay.”


“You’re Captain sounds too nice to be a pirate.”


“Only to her crew and close companions is she kind. It is better to be her companion than her enemy.”


“I’ll keep that in mind.”


“Good.” The woman was about to leave when Lee said something. “What?”


“I asked what your name is….I didn’t catch it earlier.”


“My name’s Katt. Your’s?”


“Katelyn...but I prefer Lee.”


“Alright Lee….eat and try to get more rest. If you’d like I make this very relaxing tea that will help you sleep and keep the bad dreams at bay.”


“I would like that, thank you.”


“You are quite welcome.” Katt smiled as she left. Leaving Lee to her food and blood mixture.




Lee polished off the food and the drink by the time Katt returned with a cup of what smelled like lavender tea. She sipped on it and found it both delightful and intriguing as she knew the lavender, chamomile and sage, but wasn’t sure of the fourth herb.




“You like it?”


“Yes. I can taste the lavender, sage and chamomile...but what is that last herb?”


“That is called valerian. I use just a little because it’s so powerful, but this tea will help you. By the time you finish it and lay your head down, you’ll be asleep.”


“Okay.”




It was just as she said. By the time Lee finished she was almost asleep. Luckily Katt caught both the cup and Lee as she did fall asleep. Katt laid her back down and took the cups and plate out and closed the door. She put it all up before heading to the Captain’s quarters.




“Captain. I got the young woman to eat and drink as well as to drink my tea for sleep.” said Katt


“Good. She needs the rest.” said Captain Lana.


“Captain, what do you intend to do with her?”


“A companion I hope for. It would be nice to have one on the ship.”


“Captain….she’s in love with two men and engaged….it might be hard to convince her to be as such.”


“We have all the time in the world first mate. Luckily we’re almost at Tortuga . Now, go check on the crew and get us there.”


“Yes Captain.” said Katt as she saluted and left.




The sail went smoothly all day as Lee slept comfortably without a single nightmare. It wasn’t till she felt the ship stop moving and shouting from outside did she start to wake up. She sat up rubbing her face as Lana came in.




“Good evening my dear. We have come ashore. Come, we shall be dining with a friend and companion of mine along with the crew.”


“Uh, okay….” said Lee as she stretched and yawned.


“I take it you just woke up then. No worries, the sweet air and warm skies will wake you up. Come.”  




Captain walked slowly to Lee and extended her gloved hand to her. Lee took it as she was still trying to wake up. They walked out as the sun was setting for the evening and got her crew’s attention.




“We are here for a night. Ladies! enjoy the spoils of the town here….be back before dawn. Now…..get out of here you lot.” said Captain Lana as they cheered for her. “Come first mate! You, Me and this little lady here shall go meet up with some old friends.”




Katt nodded as they headed off. They walked down the pier and towards the end of the boardwalk before going into town was a bar that looked rather friendly from it’s outside appearance….and hopefully just as friendly inside of it as well..

Sitting in his red chair, playing a salty tune on his violin was none other 
then Basil of Bake Street. Though he still takes as many cases now as he 
did ten years ago, he seemed to be more and more dependent on his lovely 
wife Kate to help him on his work. Though she just appears to be a simple 
tutor, she is just as smart and ambitious as he is. 
He had finally started to relax after the string of cases he had this last week 
when all of a sudden a pair of small blondish brunette mice come bouncing down 
the stairs stark naked as he hears Kate and their oldest daughter; Ally trying to 
catch the twins; Chris and Matt. Basil puts his violin down and catches Matt into

Chapter One
It had been a few weeks since Basil had finished that story of pirates, soldiers, love and sexual innuendos due to Kate had gone into labor that very night. A beautiful little blondish brunette girl who had came into this world perfectly healthy and with little trouble at all.  They had named her Leanne: Nickname Lee. They thought it was perfect since Basil had used it in his story. After Kate had put Lee down for the night, she came back into the living room to find the children sitting at the couch, waiting patiently as Basil was playing his violin. Ally came up to Kate and spoke quietly to her.
"Mother......the twins and I know you and father have been busy with Leanne and we do not mean to distur


Next ch:
Blood Angels of The Night: Ch. 2They got inside and though it wasn’t crowded, Lee felt like she was closed in from the dimmed lights and the large wooden tables that made it seem smaller inside. Lee stayed close to Lana as she felt the eyes of the patrons on her. Lana smirked as she held Lee close.
"And who are all ye lookin at?" One flash of Lana's fangs and they all turned their attention elsewhere, except for three. A young woman of twenties with her long black hair covering one of her jade green eyes. Sitting with her is a beautiful woman of black hair and a smile that could go for miles. With her a gentleman looking rat; whose eyes seem to be doing all the flirting.
"Lana! You old salt" said The Woman
"Old? Im a wee babe.....you on the other hand...I believe your age is showing Sandra"
"Lana,  my darling.  Oh seeing you has made me young again" said the Man as he got up and kissed her hand
"Oh Diego.....you’re so sweet.”
“Easy to be sweet when it comes to you.”
