Prologue
"Captain Coldwolf, were here!" the crew shouted above the howling wind at there captain.
"good, those fools don't know who there messing with" the captain spat coldly. "Be ready to head out tomorrow, that king doesn't know whats coming to him."
chapter 1, the kidnapping
"i just love this time of year!" I say to no one as I plant another flower into the royal garden. I look around the gardens, all of the roses and flowers in bloom. I slowly get up, dusting off my blue and white dress and walk over the our white gazebo, laced with red and orange roses. I sit down and stair longingly at the sea. I can just barely see it on the horizon. I've never been their myself, but I have always wondered what it would feel like, to be at sea with the salty wind blowing on your face. I sigh and look at the castle. Its huge, with its towering white-brick walls and the red roof. As beautiful as it might be, it gets so boring here! And don't get me started on all of the rules! How to walk, how to talk, how to sit, how to eat, how to drink, how to dress, what not to say, only speak when spoken to. The list just goes on, and on, and on. Not to mention my father. He rules alone since my mom died 8 years ago. Mom... if only i-
"princess, its time to get ready for the ceremony!" my nurse Ayako says walking up to me, her red hair flowing freely enhanced by the sun giving it a fiery look.
"ahh I don't want to go!" I pouted crossing my arms.
"why Mai, that is verrrrry unladylike of you to say so" she teased, poking my chest.
"look who's talking Ayako" I snickered pointing at what she was wearing.
"MAI IT IS FINE FOR ME TO WEAR A SHIRT AND PANTS!" she yells hurting my ears.
"fine, fine! Just quiet down your going to make me go deaf!" I laugh and stand up. Today is my 16th birthday and my dad says he has a surprise for me. I'm not sure if I like the sound of that or not.
"come on, lets go to the castle" Ayako sighs and grabs my hand, practically dragging me away. When I get there the ball room is packed with people. All Nobles of course. I see my dad sitting up on his balcony. I walk up their, very upset. I pass my the guards and walk in front of him. He was in his white robe, laced with gold and his golden crown resting on his brown hair with rare blue jewels.
"Father I-"
"that is no way to greet the king, even if I am your father." he replied eying me with his brown eyes coldly. I bit the bottom of my lip, trying not to say anything that I will regret.
"permission to speak, your highness?" I say, my voice strained as I keep it from yelling at him.
"permission granted what do you want daughter?" he said sounding bored.
" I asked you that the whole kingdom enjoy my birthday, not just the nobles."
" why would you want such poor company at your birthday?"
"FATHER! Those people are a part of the kingdom and the deserve the same treatmen-"
"deserve? All they deserve is to crawl back to what ever hole they came from" I take a deep breath. I'm about to loose it. This is not how a king should treat his people! They should rule with compassion and help the poor, let everyone live nicely. Instead the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. It makes me sick.
"oh, and for you surprise, your marring Prince Fai, he is the general of the guards in Gold-crest. your meeting him tonight." I look at him, shocked. How could he? Why would he?
"Father, I will not marry someone I don't love"
"yes, you will. He is a great asset to the kingdom and there is no such thing as love"
"what about you and mom? Weren't you in love?"
"oh please, she makes me sick to my stomach. You are a mistake, one that I plan on fixing tonight."
I slapped him and started run down the stairs and head outside. I passed Ayako in the garden.
"MAI! Were are you goin-"
"AYAKO! Come with me!" I grab her and head outside. I didn't realize how dark it was getting.
"GUARD'S AFTER HER!" I hear and keep running, my death grip still dragging Ayako. Tears are streaming from my eyes as I keep running. I trip on sticks as I blindly lead the way through the forest. All of a sudden the guards came out of the bushes, surround us on there horses. I am not going back, not there ever again! My father doesn't even treat me like a daughter.. I'm a mistake.
"get her" one of the guards say as they advance towards me.
'sling' the man fell of his horse, a sword pulling out of his back.
"RETREAT" the the general yelled pulling back. Soon the forest is a deadly calm. Who stabbed the guard? All of a sudden we were surrounded again, only not by guards. They had ratted clothes and looked really strong, they had short and long hair and looked filthy. They were Pirates. One of them started to approach me. He had black ink hair with blue and violet swirling eyes. He was taller than me, his skin pale and unblemished.
"You two are coming with me" he said with a smirk on his face.
"princess"
….
I was thrown into a room, my hands tied behind my back along with Ayako. The floor was filthy, and the room was wood. We were on their ship.
"What do you want from us?" I turn towards the man with blue swirling eyes. My voice was not scared as you would expect, but angry.
"you, are my hostage. The king has done, some unacceptable things to me in the past and I plan to return the favor. Princess."
" THEN JUST TAKE ME! Don't drag Ayako into this let her go!"
he looked at me, amusement in his eyes. "Why would I when she wants to be here?" I turn and look at her, shocked. What? Confusion clouds my eyes. Ayako gets up, I realize that her hands aren't tied.
"Ayako, what... what does he mean?" she turned away from my face, her foot tapping on the ground, she does that when she feels guilty. She turned back to my face, looking me in the eyes.
"Mai, I hate it in that castle! That's not the right place from me. I wanted to be at the sea, just like my father. But, then you were born and I just couldn't find it in my heart to leave you. Your like a daughter to me. I didn't expect them to kidnap you, promise."
I give her a small smile. I can understand not wanting to leave to, but I do feel a little hurt.
"it's OK Ayako, I forgive you. But please no more secrets?" she nods, her eyes full of relief.
"now that this is taken care of," we heard a cold voice speak and we turned to see the captain.
"we will be leaving. Ayako, once we are a good distance from land you can untie her. She will be bunking with you" he turned to me.
"you will be doing work on this ship as well."
"like what?" I ask, nervous it would be something I can't handle.
"cleaning, cooking, and making me tea. This ship is filthy and your slowly going to fix it"
I sigh. "yes Captain" I say sarcasticly. Once he turns around and leaves I turn to Ayako. I feel the ship start to move forward, taking me away from my home.
"will he do.. anything to me?" I ask her, scared by all of the rumors about pirates.
"no" she said putting her hair up in a dark orange bandana. "this is captain Coldwolf were talking about here." I gasp in surprise.
"wait, thee Captain Coldwolf? The pirate of dark water, captain Coldwolf, colder then ice it self, and as lonely as a lone wolf and never to have touched a women Coldwolf?"
"correct" she said standing up. I feel the boat lung under me. She comes over and cuts the rope off.
"now, lets get you into some proper clothes." she walks towards me.
"YAY! NO MORE DRESSES!" she stared at me for a second then busted out into laughter.
"what?" I say, tilting my head to the left.
"normally when someone gets kidnapped by pirates their reaction is different."
"well, I don't see it as capturing I see it as saving" I say, a small smile making it's way to my face.
"i want details later" she says and started to walk to the door. Little did they know, Captain Coldwolf was walking away, having heard there whole conversation. 'saving huh. Well see about that.'
