You Have My Word 2

by IrishGamer89

Three days passed and Captain Kenway and his crew were ready to set sail for Nassau. 'And what if your lady friend' Asked Adewale. He was second-in-command and wore a sly grin on his face. Edward scoffed and leaned on the railing of his ship. 'This is no life for a lady like her. Nassau is especially dangerous for one who can barely keep a drunkard off.' He replied. Ade shrugged,

''Weigh anchor, men! Get drunk, and be merry, for we set sail for Nassau in three days!' The only excitement that matched Captain Edward Kenway's voice were the cheers that erupted from his crew. No sooner had they docked the Jackdaw, that the crew ran ashore, looking to have as much merriment as three days could give them. As for Edward, he fastened his ship, and felt a few drops of water on his face. Looking to the skies, Edward noticed dark clouds gathering on the horizon. He pulled his hood over his face as rain began to fall.

As night fell, Edward began to stalk his prey. He was obviously a Templar, with a young woman at his side. There was nothing special about him, but the woman had black hair streaming down her back, like midnight and for an instance, he swore her eyes were deep- blue, like he sea. She wore a simple dress, also the color of the sea, Edward thought. The man leaned in to kiss her, the smell of alcohol heavy, even to Edward. The woman pushed him away and the young pirate made his move.

Edward grabbed the woman, separating her from his target and drove his hidden blade into his neck. To avoid any potential suspicion, Edward wrapped an arm around the woman's shoulders and forced her along with him. Funny enough, although she was breathing heavily, Edward's companion didn't scream. Most likely, he thought, because she knew he could kill her easily enough.
'You're a pirate, aren't you?' She asked.
'I am, but I have no intention of killing you. You have my word.' Edward replied.

To his surprise, Edward felt his rather unwilling companion wiggle free and step in front of him, her stunning eyes meeting his shadowed ones.
'Then, I have a proposition for you. It's the least you can do, after all. You have a ship, a crew? And you frequent the pirate haven of Nassau, I assume?' She began.
'Aye, that I do, but if it's excitement you're after, I suggest the local pub.' Edward would hear none of her pleas and explanations as he walked off into the darkness, never to see the young beauty again.

Or so he thought.
