Chapter five: The Results

Iggy POV

"Get him into his quarters! Gazzy, start on first aid until I get there! I gotta tie up this beauty!" I ordered, landing on the deck. We had already left the girls, and the only thing we have to show for it is the girl in my arm.

"Let go of me, you big oof! Or I'll feed you to the water hounds!" she yelled. I ignored her threats (what the hell is a water hound?) as I walked down to my cabin. Well, up until she kicked me down below.

"Ow, damn it!" She slipped out of my arm and made a run for it. Well, she tried to. My hand snapped out and grabbed her hair. She cried out as I yanked her back to me. "Try it again. I dare you," I growled in her ear.

"You won't ge' 'way wit dis. Cap'n will fin' me." I grinned evilly.

"Drop the accent, girly. I know it's just an act." With that, I pulled her into my cabin and forced her into a chair. I tied her down to it.

"Wha-what are you gonna do to me?" I smirked at the obvious fear in her voice.

"I'm going to do what every pirate does to a beauty." She flinched away as I touched her cheek. "But I'm leaving that for later. Right now, my captain needs me."

I caught her chin in my hand and crashed my lips down to hers. She tensed under me just as I leaned up and exited the room, locking it behind me. I jogged to my brother's quarters to find him moaning in pain. Gazzy had already taken off his shirt and is currently trying to find the wound.

"Where'd she stab you?" My only answer was another moan. "Bro, where'd she…?"

"I heard you the… 1st time. The bitch got me… in the stomach."

Gazzy got up and I took his place to help out my older bro.

Btw, a water hound is a shark. Please review.

Chapter six: Trapped

Ella POV

'I have to get out of here before that creep gets back,' I thought as I tested the strength of the ropes. I was still reeling from that infuriating kiss. Who did that guy think he was anyway? His crew lost a battle THEY started, so he grabbed me?

I suddenly remembered the dagger in my boot. The fool had tied my arms behind me, making it easier to reach down and grab it. I bet you're thinking 'How on earth can she do that when her feet are in front of her?' It's quite simple, really. My legs are really long, and so are my arms. Plus he didn't tie my ankles to the chair. All I had to do was reach my legs back 'til I could reach them.

I easily cut through the ropes, freeing myself. Keeping the dagger in my hand, I crept over to the door. Just as my hand was about to grab the knob, the door was slammed open the doe-doe that grabbed me. He knocked the dagger out of my hand and yanked me by the hair.

"Did you really think it would be that easy to get away?" he growled. I felt tears welling up in my eyes from his grip, but I refused to cry in front of him.

"10 seconds more and I would've been in the sea by now," I bit out. He laughed harshly.

"Really now? From the deck? You really are a dumb one." He slammed me into the wall and crushed his chest into mine.

"Get off of me!" I struggled to push him away, but stopped when I felt something into my stomach. And it wasn't a blade. 'Hell no! We are NOT doing this!' I shrieked in my head.

"That's it. Be a good girl and do exactly as I say." He leaned his head down, and I moved my head. "Stay still, damn it!"

"No, I refuse to be used like this!" His hand left my hair, only to wrap around my neck.

"You don't have much of a choice," he whispered in my ear. I struggled to breathe as he tightened his grip.

"Let… let go. Plea…se." Tears ran down my cheeks as I punched at his arm. This can't be happening! I'm not supposed to go out like this!

"Not so tough now, are we?" He threw me to the floor, and I gasped for breath. I heard him unbuckle his belt, and my fire came back.

"You… are such a coward," I panted, laughing slightly. He froze a few feet from me.

"How so?" Good, I had him distracted.

"You took me while I wasn't paying attention. You fled the ship because girls were beating you. And now, you're manhandling a girl."

"It's what pirates do!"

"It is NOT what pirates do! I became a pirate when I was only 14 because my sister and I had no other choice! Now that I'm an explorer, I could just take a short journey for a companion!"

He grabbed my hair again, pressing his waist into mine. "Stop talking to me like that," he growled in my ear.

"Oh, did I strike a nerve?" Before he could react, I slammed my head into his nose. When he let me go, I tightened my grip on my dagger and embedded it into his thigh.

As he howled in pain and surprise, I grabbed his sword and yanked the dagger out. I ran out of the room and down the hall. I ran up the stairs and came face to face with the Max had stabbed. Which means I am officially screwed.
