Two Hours Earlier.....
" Mama... Tell me the story of how you met papa again, please. Luciana looked into the mirror at her mother, her eyes of sea foam green begging to be told the iconic story of what would be a spark to her own beginning. Even though Luciana had heard this stories more times than her birthday had passed, she could never tire of it. It was a story of forbidden love and the taming of a beast. Gloria smiled as she looked up from brushing her daughter's golden locks. Luciana was the only one of all her children to receive those stunning green eyes of her father. She swore once she looked into them she couldn't say no to anything the girl asked. " Well my dear Lulu, as you know I was once a pirate. As free as a bird and every bit as deadly as a hunter looking for its next meal....." The story went on as Gloria tied ribbons of sky blue into her daughters hair, forming pigtails. As she neared the ending a light tap from the door of her room interrupted her and a voice called out. " Excuse me milady, but the vehicle and driver have been prepared for your daughter's departure. Master Cortez awaits his daughter..."
Smiling Gloria brushed the pigtails, ignoring the long strand that stuck out from her daughters head. That strand of hair had always been difficult and over the years the family accepted as part of Luciana's charm. Stepping back she helped Luciana from the chair that sat in.
" And that's how I met your father..... Now try not to shoot at anyone on the first day. Go on, don't keep your father waiting." Kissing her daughter's forehead she smiled as she watched the girl walk out of her room. " Like father... Like daughter. "
Luciana quickly made her way out of the house, passing by many servants who stopped what they were doing to bow their heads in respect and wish her the best. It was like clockwork as the door to the mansion opened for her and she walked out to the car only for the driver to open that as well. Sliding gracefully into the car she was met with her father who had been waiting for her. For most of the ride it was silent, Luciana looked out at the scenery from her window and thought of nothing, leaving her mind a blank slate. The drive took roughly three two hours and upon arrival the man known as Cortez spoke up.
" Luciana.. I never wanted you to become a Marine. This is a dangerous life and you are the youngest of my children. I mean it's almost non-existent for an eleven year old girl to be unsupervised on the sea in life threatening scenarios and dangerous situations. I know you have your captain to look over you, but once you are a marine most of the work is on yourself.... It's not that I'm worried Luciana, I know you can take care of yourself, I made sure of that. It's more or less....... MY LITTLE GIRL IS LEAVING ME!" Luciana was quiet as she listened to her father. She knew he meant well and smiled when he threw his arms around her and started to cry. Quickly she pushed him away and as she felt herself tear up, she quickly gained control. " Papa! You are going to wrinkle my dress if you do that." Pulling out her handkerchief that had her initials stitched on it, Luciana wiped her fathers tears away and placed it in his hand. " I have to go now Papa, I promise to write weekly. I'm a Cortez and I won't disappoint you with something like dying. Kissing her father on the cheek she put on a smile and stepped out of the vehicle.
Now....
The salty sea breeze pushed around her golden locks and pretty white and blue dress. Basking in the sun and mist of the sea Luciana flapped her wings to stretch them a bit. This was the boat she would be working on, the people on the boat would be the ones she had to interact with, and the missions she did would be the source of her fame for her family name. Taking in a deep breath she walked gracefully towards the boat until she was on safely. Her black boots that came up to her shins were a stark contrast to her dress which came down just a bit above her knees. It was absolutely no doubt in her mind that she was the most heavenly being on that boat in terms of looks. Walking further onto the boat she placed her hand on the holster that was on her thigh which contained her very intimidating gun, Rice Disciple. She already didn't trust these people but because she felt no threat coming from them she loosened up her grip and explored the deck.
The men and women on the boat were no less than surprised too see the girl on the boat. Some chuckled as if it were a joke, and others glared at her presence. " Hey kid go home, this ain't a place for chil- "
As the voice spoke loudly it was obvious it belonged to a man. Luciana had already caught sight of him as his voice gave his location away. Quickly and without a second thought she pulled her gun from its holster and shot in the direction of the man. The bullet whizzing just inches from his head shut him open quickly. Luciana smiled as she walked to the man. Her eyes sparkling with false innocence as her hair bounced with each step she took until she was in front of him.
" Hello, my name is Luciana Glory Cortez. I understand you may have some concern with me being here and I'm sorry for that. Let's be friends ok? I don't ever want to have to make an example out of anyone on this boat, so lets save the animosity for the real enemies. With gun pointed directly at the man's face she quickly replaced it into its holster and walked from him to the other side of the boat. The waters ahead were crystal clear and the sun reflected violently off of it's surface. Luciana continued to smile sweetly as the misty breeze caressed her face. She had finally made it, she was a marine.
