A few shouts echoed loudly coming in the direction of the fire. You quickly forgot about smashing your hand on the door's handle and dashed off toward the shouts.

As quietly as you could, you stopped just a few feet into the forest. Now you could easily see that there was a fire set ablaze. It was a rather large one, set in a clearing . Quietly, you slipped closer, hiding behind tree after tree. Soon you where close enough to see that a fairly large group of men sitting on logs, laughing and getting drunk off the drinks they had brought. "Pirates." You mumbled to yourself, sighing at the memory of the last group that rampaged through your father's kingdom. At the time you where only five, but you remembered a few things. The castle was raided as well as the town, but the towns people eventually overpowered the pirates and quickly had them off at sea again with a dead captain. The town's residence was quite fond of your family actually, your father and mother put down the comfort of the castle to go help rebuild homes and provide services needed to the people. A few had even stayed in the guest quarters due to their homes being destroyed and in need of a rebuild.

You smiled at the thought and quickly turned around to head home. You'll tell the guards of the pirates when you get back. So you set off back home, but carelessly this time as you were lost in memories. Stepping on a few twigs, you startled yourself out of your thoughts and hesitated to prevent yourself from walking into a nearby tree directly behind you. "SHIT." You swore out loud. You really where oblivious to things around you. A moment later you realized the camp fire had gone out and all was quite. Scared, you quickly started to run home, knowing they had heard you speak a little too loud.

"GET HER." A voice yelled behind you. Your heart pounded in your chest as you ran even faster. The ground behind you thudded like thunder as the group chased you. You looked back as you leapt a stream and saw the angry faces. Screeching, you yelled to the guards to open the gate as gun fire sounded behind you. Nothing came in reply. You panicked. Then it hit you, the secret door. You ducked as two men rushed at you. A chuckled escaped your lips as you heard them groan from crashing into each other. Quickly, you took a sharp turn while looking at the pair of men and ran right into a stone pillar outside the castle wall due to your carelessness.

Falling back, you awaited for the ground to punch your back. Dazed, you felt a pair of arms catch you and a snicker could be heard right above your head.

"Well love, You can run fast but you're not very bright." a British accented voice floated around you as the man picked you up bridal style. By this point, you had passed out from your own kiss with the stone pillar.

You groaned as a throbbing headache greeted you good morning. You flopped an arm over your eyes to block out the sun light streaming in from a nearby window. Something grazed your hand. You groped around for it, eventually finding it. The thing that you had touched was thick and fuzzy, so you kept stroking it, trying to understand what it was without looking over.

"Will you bloody stop petting my eye brows." There was the voice again from before you blacked out. You flung your hand off your face and sat up quickly. Frantically you looked beside to you. Next to you was a man, who , at the time was glaring at you for so called 'petting' his eyebrows. Yelping, you fumbled off the bed, knocking your head on a chair.

"Damn it" You scrunched into a ball on the floor and covered your head.

" There's a chair there, love." The man sat up and snickered at you.

"Be quiet, I order you." You scowled at him, now noticing his very caterpillar like eyebrows. "Those aren't eyebrows..." You stated to your self.

"Excuse me love?" he scowled right back at what you said, you sat up and held your head between your knees.

You remembered absolutely nothing of last night besides standing on your balcony. Groaning, you said "What happened last night?"

"Well love, you snuck up on me crew when we be taking a bit of relaxation." He got out of the bed and stretched. "You ran into the pillar at your castle and knocked yourself right out. Seems you lost a bit of yew memories." the man looked at you bluntly.

" Your crew?" You looked up at him questionably, fuzzy memories becoming clear.

"You're on a pirate ship,love." he smirked at you as your gaze quickly changed to a worried look.

"No no no no no. My mother is going to kill me... No, Christian is going to kill me!" You quickly got up and ran to the door. Twisting the handle, you realized it was locked.

"Sorry love, Can't leave. we already set sail. Now you're my little toy." He came up behind you as you tried tampering the lock with a bobby pin from your hair.

"Do you want to be punished for escaping?" he whispered in your ear. You jumped and turned to face him.

"how can you punish me if I don't... I mean ... if WE don't know each other." You frowned. That was a stupid question you just asked the scoundrel.

His smirk vanished. "I believe your right Miss (N)" a look of horror crossed your face. He stood up straight and did a little bow. "Captain Kirkland, at your service my love."

The look of horror turned into a look of terror. Captain Kirkland? Out of all the pirates at sea, this one had to be your kidnapper. Slowly, you turn your head to the wall next to the door and slammed it into it.
You remembered the headache once the throbbing started.

"I'm dead."

"No you are not, You're simply now... a thing for my amusement and entertainment. A captive." Captain Kirkland walked away and came back with a rather revealing dress.

" . .That...no" You glare at the dress like it was a leach. Captain Kirkland grabbed your face by the chin and held it close to his.

"Oh, I think you will." He pressed his lips into a quick kiss.
