I do not own Pirates of Penzance
______________________________________________________

I was wondering, what would happen if the Pirates got away with taking General Stanleys daughters? The POV of a ward named Iris
______________________________________________________________

My sisters and I were picnicking on the shore of the ocean. Edith said it was the perfect spot, but I wasn't so sure. I have always had a fear of strange places. I looked around at my sisters that were having a jolly better time than I was. They were skipping and prancing around the rocky formations and picking daisies.

I sighed and bit slowly into my sandwich. Falling onto my back I looked up at the sky. A few birds soared across the never ending plain of blue. The sun was too bright so I couldn't make out what kind they were.

The sudden shower of grass awoke me from my day dream. Shaking grass out of my face I looked up and saw Kate standing over me.

"Come on Iris, have some fun!" She pulled me to my feet and ran off. I smoothed down the dress over my bloomers and started to run off. A movement caught my eye. Turning my head I saw a strange looking man hiding behind a bush, a spyglass pointed to where my sisters where having their fun. I approached the stranger cautiously, afraid that he might hear me.

My sister Polly noticed me standing there, and waved me over. I pointed to the man, and she shrieked,

"A MAN!" All of my sisters looked and screamed, grabbing the picnic blanket to cover themselves. I ran over, and joined their shaky group. He seemed as scared as we were for a second, but then he started talking in a smooth, nice voice. I felt entranced, and my sisters and I out of wooziness, fell to his feet. He looked a little impressed with himself, and then went on.

He started talking about how our beauty has duty or something like that. I was too interested in how he looked than what he was saying. I was awoken suddenly with the call,

"Will someone love me?" I was disgusted and appalled that he would think we would rendezvous with us after talking for a couple minutes. Backing up, we called out,

"No!" He asked again,

"Will no one love me?"

"No!"

"Yes, one!" We turned and saw my goody two shoes sister, Mabel, emerge from the path onto the shore. I sighed. If he wasn't so good looking, I don't think she would have said a thing.

"For shame!" She scolded us, and turned to the man. "Poor wandering one," She began. I rolled my eyes at the cheesy line. We all watched as she enchanted this poor man like he had done to us, only better and more deeply. Weather we liked it or not, we all wish we could flirt like Mabel can.

The man was staring at her in a state of lovesickness I don't think anyone else could have achieved. She turned to us and told us to go away. We all turned to each other.

"We could sit down," Edith started.

"And talk about the weather," Kate finished and sat down quickly. We all took one last glance at the couple and sat down, talking aimlessly about the weather. When they had let their guard down, they began to talk. We all turned and stared, trying to figure out what they were saying.

The man looked at us, and then behind us. A look of fear crossed his face and he turned to Mabel.

"You and your sisters need to get out of here, now!" He started shoveling Mabel over to safety. She twisted out of his grasp.

"Why?"

"My pirate comrads will capture your sisters and marry them! Now please, hurry!" I was horrified.

"We can't stay here!" I exclaimed and my sisters agreed. I suddenly felt strong masculine arms grip me around the waist. I looked up at the taunting, smelly face of a pirate. Too stunned yet to speak, I just stared at him.

"Let us go luv, you'll have fun with me, I promise," He smiled a toothy smile. I screamed and tried to break out of his hold. He took me and threw me over his shoulder. I looked and saw all of my sisters being taken by a pirate of their own. Poor Edith was being fought over. I pounded on the pirate's back, but he held strong.

He turned quickly and ran around the hill we were at. I couldn't see where he was going, but I saw my sisters being dragged by other men. Looking helplessly around, I saw Mabel being held back by the man. Why would he hold her back from trying to help us? I thought. The pirate walked unsteadily across the gangplank and threw me down on deck.

"You're mine now," He snarled and I stood up uncertainly. He stood beside me and grasped my waist as the other pirates boarded the ship. I watched as the last of my sisters were forced onto the ship. The men left momentarily to bring down the sails, and the ship coasted nicely out of the harbor.

As my sisters cried with each other, I stood up and walked over to the railing, transfixed by the water running by. I had never seen Penzance so beautifully. Green hills and rocky mountains surrounded the village. As the ship pulled away from the land and out into sea, I became worried again. What were they going to do to us?
