What be crack-a-lacking bitches?

This chapter sucks ass sorry.

Love Dimples.

ROSE POV

We walked arm in arm down he cobble stone streets in perfect silence. It was nice for a change, not to talk about anything or anyone. People strolled by nodding at us, with little grins on their carless faces. I had a funny feeling come over me, it was jealousy. I was jealous of all the people; nothing to care about except their own little bubbled lives.

And her I was, a pirate in disguise that actually is a runaway princess. Ran away from her own marriage, and yet I was known for being strong. In actuality I was so weak.

Then again, I loved my life. I loved being who I was, one of the main reasons I became who I am today. I wasn't the pretty and perfect princess that everybody wanted to be and know. Besides, me plus being tied down was a crazy thought by itself. And between that old life and this one, I had met so many great people and been so many beautiful places. I smiled at my random, but pondering thoughts.

I was about to take a step when Dimitri jerked me to a stop. In front of us was a giant puddle, a little murky form shoes stomping in it.

"Look," Dimitri said softly, craning his neck over the puddle to look in. I hovered over it, to find myself staring back.

It was us. Dimitri looking at me through the reflection, the lanterns from the nearby houses gibing the scene a shimmery, romantic feel. My brown eyes wandered in the puddle painting to Dimitri's blazing ones. I smiled a brilliant smile, causing Dimitri to grin. The darkness of the whole, attractive picture made our smiles seem an alien bright.

My dark curls spilling over my shoulders, and my lips painted a deep color twisted into a cupids bow. My dark eyes drifted to Dimitri. I could feel my heart pick up, he was a heart breaker. It was the only way to describe him. With his newly cut hair, framing the face and shaggier at the bottom. His blazing, loving cinnamon eyes practically consuming me in flames. He was in some sort of suit and it was gorgeous, as the white undershirt was V-neck. Just giving me a glimpse of his toned chest.

"Do you ever wish you could just be like them?" I asked, pulling from the mesmerizing muddled scene. Dimitri seemed to understand, as he slowly nodded, his brown eyes seem to sink slightly.

"Yes… all the time, but I suppose I can't just run away from my problems." He said, looking up from the puddle into my eyes. His answer hit home a little more than I like. I just looked away and started walking, or more like jogging to the tavern.

"Rose…?" Dimitri called. Before I turned to face him, I put on my Rose Hathaway face and turned the sad smile into a flirty smirk.

"You still owe me that drink Dimitri, no matter how much heart to heart we have." I smirked, flinging the door to the tavern open.

DIMITRI POV

Something in Rose has switched. Just a second ago we were having a civil conversation then I said the wrong thing and she was gone.

I strode into the tavern, searching for Rose. If found about every one of both of our crews there. Surprisingly, some of my men were talking to Rose's crew; everybody seemed to be enjoying themselves.

I didn't see Vasilla anywhere, probably with that Christian dude. Finally, I spotted Rose, sitting at the bar, face shoved in her hands. I walked over and sat next to her, I ordered a shot of whiskey and Russian vodka. When I got the shots I slid one over to Rose. Without taking her face from her left hand, she grabbed the shot with her right. She lifted her heavy head, giving me a sad smile and a nod, and then threw the liquid back.

I threw mine back too. Loving the warming, burning sensation it sent to my core.

"Russian vodka, that's some serious shit." She mumbled, I shrugged my shoulders. She turned my way, throwing her feet on the bar, showing black lace up boots with a dangerous high heal.

She tried to raise an eyebrow but failed and raised both in awkward timing. She giggled at whatever expression crossed my face. I raised one eyebrow with absolute skill and she groaned in annoyance. I grinned at her distress.

"So, now that you finally got me a drink, let's talk about what's going down." She said with a large, true Captain Rose Hathaway smirk.

LISSA POV

We had started out walking arm in arm but our hands just seemed to slip, intertwining, and criss-crossing fingers. I practically couldn't breathe when he ran his thumb over my hand.

Actually holding Christians hand made me feel this weird safeness I couldn't explain. We had been walking for some time. My feet hurt so badly, but my heart was winning over pain. A small street restaurant was playing some live music.

Christian started humming along to the soft violin and accordion. I giggled as he grabbed me by the waist and dipped me. It reminded me of the first time we met.

Suddenly, his pale blue eyes turned into blazing blue fire. His sweet breath tickled my neck, as he placed a chaste kiss to collarbone. My breath hitched and my chest rose and fell like avalanche.

Our eyes met, and our foreheads touched and finally, slowly our lips collided.

DIMITRI POV

The deal was simple, and I liked it. To get Vasilla back all we had to do was give them the necklace. Also, we couldn't pursue them any longer or take any charges against them. When I was nodded my head through her little plan, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. I mean this was amazing just like a story book, a hero and a damsel in distress, the bad guys.

Rose seemed all serious as she left the tavern to do "some unfinished business." I watched her go with dark eyes. I finished my drink and gathered my men, and went to find Christian and Vasilla.

ROSE POV

I stood there in front of the old factory, hands on my hips. Finally, a shadow swept into view.

Instantly, clove cigarettes hit me, and a huge grin graced my lips.

We ran towards each other. I couldn't help it, I mean Adrian, and I had been together for ever and something like that you can't just forget about it.

He pulled me and twirled me in the air. I hugged him like it was last thing on earth keeping to it. He kissed my hair and murmured sweet words.

"Oh God, Oh God, God." I cried, sobbing into his chest. He just kept soothing me.

"I have missed you so much, you little vixen." He said taking my face, squishing my cheeks together, I smiled a goofy grin. He laughed, kissing me on the forehead.

"Where have you been? Why did you leave?" He said rubbing my back. It snapped me back to reality, I was on mission here. I stepped back and calmed down.

I gave him a sad smile.

"Adrian, I'm not here to come back or answer questions." I said, shaking my head.

"Why did you come back then?" He asked, dark green eyes sparkling. I looked down.

"I need a map." I coughed, avoiding eye contact. He groaned and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Why" Staring at my face.

"Please." I begged and grabbed his hand. He squeezed my hand and turned on his heal. I had missed him so much, I realized.

Suddenly Dimitri and well the whole crew, and mine came into view. He nodded and gave me hard look.

I took the key, which was wedged tightly in my cleavage. Dimitri swallowed.

I unlocked the necklace and was holding it up, as Dimitri said "Who was that?"

"No one" I snapped, good thing shadows covered us. Dimitri was about to speak when a large singing slice came singing by. Stuck in the nearby wall was a dagger pinning the necklace.

Then from the corner the one and only Captain Tasha came striding into view.

"Yeah who was that Rosie, oh what I know, The Prince of Spain?" She laughed and her crew was suddenly surrounding us.

I heard Dimitri choke and then realization rose in his deep, dark eyes.

"What do you want you psycho bitch?" I yelled, being restrained by a couple men.

"Just Vasilla and the necklace." She said, batting her blue eyes. In the background Christina yelled and struggled.

"And him too." She smirked.

"Fine." I said neutrally, everybody gasped and started to protest. I gave them the entire deepest, knowing look, they all froze.

"Fine! Now leave before I do it myself." I screamed, struggling slightly.

A couple men grabbed the dagger, and Lissa. About four men restrained and dragged Christian; finally they just knocked him out.

I watched as everything and everyone faded away.

Suddenly, a light hand touched my shoulder; I looked up to find Dimitri staring.

"Yes?" I said, blinking.

"Come on." He said, almost pissed off, he knew. I could tell Dimitri was werided out that I was talking to The Prince of Spain and why.

We made it to the ships and we departed, nothing said.

On the dock was a little package and a note.

Inside was the map, and my wedding ring.

The note read; My little vixen,

I hope one day you will see my face again.

Love Forever, A.

I sighed and picked up the diamond filled wring, smiling at forgotten memories.

I dragged myself up the railing and onto the boat.

Dimitri was on his boat, by the steering wheel. I nodded at him and the ships took off, to find Christian and Lissa, side by side.

Peace the fuck out, oh and review :D
