Eduardo pushed his way through the crowd with his men next to him. They had docked on a port to get some supplies before heading back out only to find a huge crowd circled around.
" I suggest you put your gun down sweet heart. You can stand to win against us."
Eduardo searched above the crowds and saw the excitement. A young woman stood with her gun aimed at three men with another young woman behind her.
" You should have thought about that before you messed with her." She spoke. Did he pick up on a hidden accent?

" M-miss it's alright-"
"No, they need to learn some damn respect. There is nothing worse than a man that can't respect a woman, *ca me fait chier."
The crowd cocked their heads in question. What type of language was that?

" Unless you would like me to teach it personally?"

The man gave a loud obnoxious laugh. " I'd like to see you-"
He didn't even have a chance to finish before her foot was in his face. He gave a grunt and fell to the floor in pain.
" Anyone else?" She growled, looking at the two other men. They quickly shook their heads in fright. Even Eduardo had to admit he was thrown off from her sudden strength.

" Then leave."

They wasted no time in grabbing their leader and running. The crowd roared but she didn't seem to notice. The girl turned and looked back at the woman had been protecting. Reaching into her pocket, she grabbed two gold pieces and slipped them into her hand.
" Go buy something to eat."

Tears slipped from the woman's face as she thanked her greatly before disappearing. The crowd hovered for a moment longer before disappearing. For only a brief moment Eduardo caught with her eyes. She was stunning in her own way. Between her blonde hair and hazel eyes Eduardo didn't know where she originated from.

" Avoir." She spoke with a light wave before turning and merging into crowd.

Music began to play and the crowd hushed quickly. Captain Morgan had brought his men to a bar that claimed to have the best entertainment in town, now to see if the tales were true.

Two beautiful brunettes stepped onto stage in a foreign costume. They chests only covered with a golden bra decorated with coins, the stomach shown and a golden skirt with a coin belt. Thomas rose a brow in question. He had never seen this type of dancing before.

They began to move their hips and bodies in ways that almost resembled a snake before twirling their hips faster than any person could imagine.

" Good old belly dancing." Morgan smiled. Now it rang in his head!

Suddenly another girl stepped forward to the center. Her body was draped in a matching costume, only black with golden coins. She gave a click of chimes on her fingers and looked at her audience. The black veil resting on her nose made it hard to tell who she was, which is what added to her being so mysterious.

Eduardo watched her and instantly spotted the difference. The other women were wonderful, yes, but she was so much more mature. Her movements were cleaner, more graceful and enticing. She didn't just dance, she told a story.

She gave a small sway of her hips and the coins jingled. Suddenly he noticed that his eyes were following along. He looked up and met her eyes, instantly feeling under a spell. In his mind the stories of how a charmer would control a snake with his music clicked and suddenly he was the snake. She turned and gave another slow sway of her hips before reaching for her golden locks and holding them up in her hands. He took a moment to look at her back and was shocked to find muscle hiding under all that hair. The girls stepped off the stage and made their ways to the tables, stopping and dancing. Men begin to drool, women began to watch with jealousy and awe. Eduardo watched her move but stop for a second. A movement seemed a bit too jerky for her to do. He looked more closer and caught a man trying to reach out and paw at her. But she kept her smile and tried to move away. But he wouldn't let her. Even under the veil Eduardo could see her anger grow.

The man's hand began to slither up her side when she turned with a pop of her hip, her elbow colliding with his face discreetly. Eduardo had to hold back a laugh as she moved on.

" You little bitch!"
Of course they couldn't get a night without any fighting. The girl turned and saw the blood dropping from his nose.
" You'll pay!"
He reached for her shoulder when she grabbed and turned, her skirts flaring gracefully. The man cried out in pain as she pushed his hand against his back. Even her fighting still seemed so graceful. Eduardo saw her reach and whisper something in his ear before moving away all together. Suddenly she turned and looked straight at him. She made her way up to him, taking slow, graceful steps. Almost as if she were getting ready to pounce. His breath hitched in his throat as she untied one of the sashes that reached around her waist and gently laid it around his neck.
All the men cheered for him while she gave a light tug to get him to stand. And he did. Eduardo didn't know what was happening but all he knew was that he felt like he had to follow her like a lost puppy. She pulled him close and he suddenly felt her breath on his lips. The smell of lavender salt radiated off of her and swept its way to his nose. As she continued to dance he didn't even notice her reaching for his gun. The music stopped, what ever world he was in was gone and she stood with a gun facing at the man who had tried to attack her. Damn, just as he was enjoying himself.

" You're always one step ahead of the game aren't you, you little pest!"
Eduardo could hear her smirk under her veil. Then it hit him, this was the girl from earlier. His hand wrapped around her waist and he felt her jump from the coldness of his fingertips. She only took a moment to stare a glance at him. She would have to deal with him later.

" Honestly, leave the kid alone." He sighed as he reached for the other gun in its pouch and aimed it at him. " It's getting annoying."

" She stole our treasure!"

He looked down at her and saw the smile in her eyes grow bigger. Not what he was expecting.
" Sorry, that's how it goes when it comes to being a pirate." Morgan smirked. " Go ahead and get her out of here, we'll take care of them."

The girl didn't have a chance to disagree. In an instant Eduardo had his gun put away, swept her off her feet and ran out the door.

" *C'est des conneries! Put me down!" She cried. " I can fight for myself."
Eduardo kept running while she pounded on his chest. He wouldn't have expected her to be so stubborn either.

He turned down the ally way and skidded to a stop.
" Damn it." He cursed under his breath. In front of him more men stood, slowly closing in on him. He went to turn and was blocked by more men. They were surrounded.
" So about that you fighting for yourself-" He whispered to her. " You willing to help?"

" About time." She smirked. " Play along. Surrender."

Eduardo furred his brows in confusion before giving a sigh. Whatever got them out of this mess.
" Alright! Enough, I'll give her to you." He spoke loud enough for them all to hear.

" She's unconscious."
" Put her on the floor and step away."
Eduardo slowly knelt to the floor and laid her down. Her eyes were shut and her body motionless, almost a little too convincing for his taste. He held his hands up and backed away. All the men began to close in on her and left him in the dust. Now was his chance.
While they were distracted he reached for the closest guy and slammed his head into the wall, enough to knock him out cold. He had one last time to knock another out before they noticed and now the girl was up and fighting.

He took notice of how she often used her kicks for her attack, allowing her to get in close or hit far. Either way it worked. Once all the men laid on the ground Eduardo turned toward her and saw her poised and ready to fight.
" Look, I don't want to hurt you." He said as he held his hand up. " We need to move before more come."

Her eyes narrowed and she turned and ran the complete opposite way with Eduardo chasing after her.
" Damn it she's fast!" He growled. He turned and found himself at the docks but the girl was no where to be found. He couldn't just leave her out here alone. He searched everywhere but spotted no one. Then his ears twitched at the sound of a jingle. He instantly turned and followed it and found her pinned up against the walls in one of the shops.
" Eduardo!"
He turned and saw Russell getting ready to pounce on the man that pinned her to the wall. He was hidden in the shadows and was unseen and it was likely the man didn't notice him either. Eduardo gave a nod and both men jumped out and tackled. In the midst of the fight Eduardo heard a thump but didn't look back. With a final blow the man was down. He caught his breath and stood, turning to Russell.
" God damn low lives- what happened!"

Russell knelt next to the woman and looked up at him with a worried and frustrated look.

" She fought against me and I think I hit her with my elbow."

" Damn it Russell." Eduardo mumbled as he knelt next to her. " Pick her up and lets take her to Christopher. He can take care of her till she wakes up."

Russell nodded and picked her up awkwardly before heading for the door. Eduardo paused and looked around. She couldn't stay in that costume forever, the poor thing would freeze to death. So he reached for a nearby dress, left the money on the counter, and left.
