6.) pirate and noblewoman:

The Gentlemen Pirates, that was what they were called. Gentlemen who were forced into galley and escaped to become pirates. And he was their captain, the man with the scarred face, the man with that roguish smile. They had captured the vessel she was on, taking custody of the passengers and the cargo that they had. She had caught one of his men's eye. "Hey there sweetie," he smiled, some semblance of civility still with him, as he stepped towards her. "Care for some fun?" Or not.

"Oi, oi, John," another voice joined in as the man was pulled away from her. "We're here for cargo, women can wait at the port." And then he smiled at her. "Forgive him, years at sea can make men into brutes." And then a flash of recognition sparked in his eyes. "Aye, Johnny mi boy, you found a keeper."

"I did?"

"Don't you know who she is, Johnny?" The man shook his head. "This mi boy this is the duke's daughter. A heftly ransom she will fetch." That was the start of her captivity in the hands of the Gentlemen Pirates. For pirates, they were rather courteous and civil, less curses in front of the lady and all that. The man grinned, as he took her hand. "Have no fear, Lady, for you are with me." That was how it started.

And soon it will end. It wasn't that she would miss the tattooed captain, but her rescue made her feel hollow inside, as though something was ripped away from her. She could see his hard face as cold as the saber that he held against her neck, making little jests on how spirited she was, and how much he appreciated her beauty, making mocking compliments as they handed over the chest of gold that she was worth. She would have hated him, if he hadn't been exactly as he said, a gentleman pirate. "Are you alright?" he murmured, as her recieved her to the other boat. "That bastard didn't hurt you did he? Tell me and I'll skin his tattooed face off."

She shook her head, turning back to see the captain, face as cold as the grave, before it softened into a smile, saluting her with his sabre. He held the salute, until he and she disappeared into the horizon.
