My heart lurched as I hugged her closer to me and looked up at the man she feared.
He had white hair and was sitting on his horse with an evil smile on his face.
Our eyes made contact and he sneered.
I rushed the princess back to our cabin not even giving him another thought. He couldn't hurt us. Or her.
As long as she was on my ship, as long as she was with me, she was safe.
I gently laid her on our bed. She looked worn out.
I brushed a loose piece of hair out of her face as she sighed.
"Princess, what happened?" I said gently grasping her hand.
"Don't call me that." She said with heavy eyes.
"What happened, your highness?" I asked with a small smirk.
"You just don't stop do you?" She gave a long sigh as I motioned for Lefty to come look at her.
I looked down at where the wound was. But I couldn't find it.
Her entire torso was covered in blood.
I winced and shook my head.
"Well captain. I'm going to have to patch her up. Would you mind leaving for a while?" He asked sheepishly.
For once I didn't argue. Of course I didn't want to leave her side but I didn't want an argument.
My heart went hard as I took one last look into her eyes. They looked as if they were used to this kind of thing and welcomed pain like an old friend.
I slowly let go of her bloody hand and walked out the door with feet of lead.
I closed the door and sighed as I slid down to the floor.
The good members of my crew came over and asked what was wrong.
I couldn't even make eye contact with them.
"That bloody woman."
I hope that you guys got my irony at the end when I said she was a bloody woman because she was covered in blood… hehe ok… sorry I haven't updated I didn't really know what to do for this chapter. But now it's up so you guys should review!
