The small rowboat rocked gently side to side as the shore of the island loomed closer. Ed was busy looking over the edge and 'talking' to the small fish that swam by, while Captain Spiegel busied himself with the oars, his strong arms moving the boat swiftly with each powerful stroke. Faye blinked, 'Dang…' she thought as she watched him discreetly.
The sun was setting, and it sent beautiful colors dancing across the water as if giving Faye a show of how beautiful life could be, even in the dimmest of situations. Being kidnapped and taken from your home could very well be one of the dimmest situations out there.
Faye was jerked forward as the boat stopped suddenly. Redirecting her attention back towards Spike, she noticed that they had hit the shore, and Captain Spiegel had jumped out of the boat in order to pull it further up on shore.
As soon as the boat was safely on shore, Captain Spiegel offered his hand to Faye to help her out of the boat. "I can get off by myself, thank you very much." She said snootily. Standing up, her nose held high up in the air, she stepped cautiously out of the boat, and her bare feet sank deep into the soft warm sand of the snowy white beach.
A sigh was heard as she pulled her shoes out of the boat and enjoyed the feeling of the sand beneath her petite, porcelain-like feet. "Come, Princess, we must get to the manor before night falls, I'm afraid that I can not protect you from the creatures that roam the night on this island."
"Creatures?" Ed asked, a hint of fear in her usually happy and energetic voice.
"Yes, Ed, creatures, we're not quite sure what they are. We have searched for them by day, and not been able to find anything, our search group by night, still hasn't returned. So naturally, ladies, we must get inside, and quickly." He said, hurrying Faye and Ed along the rough path through the dense forest.
A little while later (sorry guys, don't feel like writing about their walk through the forest, it's 1:30 in the morning…and I am trying to write this for you guys.)
The beaten, dirt path that seemed to stretch on forever through the forest seemed to become brighter. A pale light shown through the trees ahead of them, as they slowly approached the end of the path.
The trees stopped yet again, forming a seemingly impenetrable boundary between the forest and the open land. Faye looked ahead of her, a look of awe on her face as she admired the small village that was here. Houses with thatched roofs, and open windows were scattered all over the place, small fields were here and there, growing a large supply of vegetables, and other necessary foods.
Further up ahead, a large house stood overlooking the small community. The house was very well built, and just as well taken care of, 'That must be the manor.' Faye thought, as she followed Captain Spiegel down the well kept road through the village. Several of the people there she recognized from her party, the people that were with Captain Spiegel. 'All of these people must be pirates…' She added to her last thought.
Soon, they had arrived at the door to the manor, it opened with a creak, and Captain Spiegel stepped inside, Ed running in after him. But Faye lingered outside the door, 'Why am I following him so eagerly?' She thought, suddenly realized that she hadn't resisted him at all. 'Is it possible that I am developing feelings for this man?....No, that thought couldn't even stand a snowball's chance in hell!' She thought angrily. 'Could it?'
"Faye-Faye needs to come inside!!" Ed called from the door, practically walking on her hands from being bent so far over backwards.
Faye laughed, this child was truly amusing. She deducted as she stepped into the manor, leaving the rural community behind her.
The building was warm inside, and seemed very welcome. Colorful tapestries covered the walls, and lavish rugs were rolled out on the floor. Big, soft pieces of furniture decorated the room, and a split staircase that led up to the next floor dominated the majority of the area. Straight ahead, the flickering of a roaring fire could be seen, and she heard Captain Spiegel's voice as he seemed to be greeting someone he hadn't seen for a very long time.
Faye's curiosity got the better of her, and she stepped forward into what seemed like the meeting room. A rather large, thick couch sat in front of a monstrously huge fireplace, and similar chairs were strategically placed around the room.
After wondering the room with her eyes for a few minutes, the emerald pools fell upon a tall, thin blonde woman. The woman had eyes the color of the water outside, and a very kind and cheerful demeanor about her. The woman saw Faye enter the room, and she walked happily up to her, and bowed respectfully, "Hello, Princess, it is quite an honor that you have graced us with your presence, even if it was forced." She said, with a glare in Captain Spiegel's direction.
Faye looked stunned at this action, 'This must be the Julia Captain Spiegel's journal spoke of. She seems like a very kind person indeed.' "Yes, well, I guess I might as well enjoy my stay, it won't be long, any day now my father's whole navy will come to rescue me." Faye commented.
"Ah, yes." Julia laughed, "You mustn't pay Spike here any attention though, he's all talk. And I'll be sure to have him take you home as soon as possible."
"But, Julia…she's our ticket out of this exile and back into the lap of luxury!" Spike whined.
"Oh hush, Spike, I'm surprised at you, kidnapping a poor, innocent girl, and a princess at that!" Julia scolded.
Faye laughed, they fought like an old, married couple. It was quite interesting. 'If Spike (Okay, I am kind of getting tired of typing 'Captain Spiegel' for right now, so if you don't mind, I'm going to use Spike. It's 2 in the morning, so give me a break.) wanted to live in the lap of luxury so badly, he should sell tickets to these fights, he'd sure make a lot of money.' Faye thought, laughing loudly when Julia picked up a book and threw it at Spike who was holding up his hands screaming 'Mercy'.
'I may come to like this woman.' Faye thought, as she watched the two fight over if the sun set in the east or the west.
