Edward's eyes slowly blinked open and a groan issued from an unrelenting body as he tried to move. He lay there unsure of where he was, or what had happened. Edward searched his broken mind trying to find fleeing answers. [i]So'kune hated Ed, they were friends and she hated him. He couldn't remember, Ed hadn't done anything wrong? No....no Ed doesn't want to do anything wrong. No don't hurt me daddy, I tried....I tired... Why does So'kein hate Ed? I know I'll make her something... Wait, I made her a little fox of ice.[/i] Ed smiled at this, [i]So'ken will like it! I know she will! But Ed's fox shattered... she'll never like Ed again![/i] Tear flowed from Edwards eyes, stinging his bruised cheeks as they rolled to the straw and mud he lay on. [i]WHY STUPID![/i] Ed yelled at himself. [i]So'kjin hates you! Your a idiot! An idiot! I hate you Ed!! Why do I always mess things up? She hates me... she hates me...she hates me.[/i] This was all Edward could think about as he slipped back to unconsciousness. 
 
Ed woke up crying. the sting of his tears hurting his bruised cheeks. The pain in his stomach grew worse. [i]Ed was stabbed wasn't he? Ed was stabbed cause he's bad, Ed does bad things and people hurt Ed. Why does So'koon hate Ed? Ed wants to be friend but no one likes Ed. Cause Ed is stupid that's why. Ed is useless. Stupid, stupid, stupid.[/i] "WHY!" Ed screamed out and choked as he started coughing, blood spattering his face. [i]Why, Ed cant breath, So'keien why hurt Ed?[/i] Edward franticly rolled off his back onto his side coughing and spitting up blood. [i]Ed hurts... Ed hurts, Ed wants mommy! No Ed can't have mommy, Ed killed mommy. No, Ed would never hurt mommy. No daddy, don't don't hurt Ed![/i] Another fit of coughing blanked Edwards mind as pain ripped through his body. Forcing himself up Edward crawled out of the shack but began shaking at what he saw. 

Edward saw a camp sprawled with the body's of pirates and slaves. Crows and vultures picked at the flesh of the fallen. Edward closed his eyes and averted his gaze. [i]No Ed isn't bad. Ed's not alone, So'kein will help me. So'keen doesn't hate Ed, Ed wants So'ken.[/i] As tears welled up again a group of heavily armed pirates who were picking through the remains of the slaughter spotted Edward.
