She was never a strong swimmer, but her pride was too strong for her to give up. She fought her way to the surface. It didn't help that her cosplay weighed a ton...her pirate hat had vanished in the water when she struck it, and her bangs swirled around in the water./p
p data-p-id="3010f41d4904a51020b7dbb4e3ffc1b5"She had never fought so hard in her life, yet she was stubborn as a mule and refused to give into the water. Her lungs slowly started burning. She had a large lung capacity, she loved to sing and could hold a note for a solid minute. She started seeing black in her vision and her brain told her to breathe. Instinctively she started to breathe, but stopped as water filled her mouth. Suddenly, just before she passed out, a pair of strong arms wrapped themselves around her waist, pulling on her. She gasped loudly, coughing as her head broke the surface. She clung to the person who had saved her life as they were hauled up the side of a wooden ship. She gazed at its magnificent size as the pair was slowly hauled up. It was easily a football field and a half in size./p
p data-p-id="3a43f73d5dda31ef3af8c38e5db5df37""Do you like my ship?" The man holding her smirked. Alie looked at him. She recognized his accent to be British. He had a mess of wild blonde hair and large eyebrows set over dashing emerald eyes. Suddenly, hands pulled the two of people on board. Alie cried out as one man found her chest./p
p data-p-id="d8ea0833ac23deeb0986805a06334396""Its a Lass!" He cried and the man who saved Alie sauntered over. He studied her, her knee high false leather boots, skinny khaki pants tucked into them, a wide sash acting as a belt over her violet shirt and hips. She wore an ascot around her neck with the pale violet jacket she had gotten at Goodwill. Her hair was plastered to the side of her face and stuck to her back, fastened into a loose ponytail by a clip./p
p data-p-id="e441ad0edfd8cbe329ba4709d57af2e1"She wasted no time surveying him. He wore tight black pants tucked neatly away into a pair of boots and a loose white partially buttoned tunic that revealed his toned chest. He had a pistol tucked into one side of his waistband and a sword strapped to his other side. He had just donned an extravagant red coat with gold and black adorning its edges. It was obvious he was the captain. He narrowed his emerald eyes at the American girl before ordering his men back to work. He dragged her into his stateroom and Alie had a sinking feeling that it wouldn't end well./p

Suddenly she spotted a ship. It wasn't a large pirate ship, but a nimble little Viking ship. She stared at the intimidating shields which hung on the side of the rail. She heard someone shouting./p
p data-p-id="be67e1b8f25421b7507d37e6135ac7a5""Su-San! Su-San! Katso! Tyttö!" Someone said and a pair of blondes leaned over the railing to look at the shivering teen. The taller one jumped overboard and landed on a nearby floating mass of ice. She cowered as he towered over her and stared down his nose at her through a pair of glasses. Without a word, he scooped up the girl, who sqeuaked slightly in protest, but allowed him, cuddling closer to his warm body. She hoped Alie was already aboard the ship./p
