Bella POV
I turned at the sound of thumping as masses of feet shook the deck. They were boarding. I got ready with my sword but I knew it was useless. One against an entire crew. But I had to defend us. They seemed to break off into two groups. One went below and the rest surrounded me. Sword at the ready I stared at them anticipating their next move. Thank goodness I could fight.

They saw the serious look on my face and started to laugh. I stared back at them not moving an inch. Suddenly the circle parted and a god-like man entered the inner circle with me. He looked at me and the at the sword a playful expression danced across his face. He thought I couldn't handle it. He drew his sword and tried to disarm me. I avoided it and his face changed to a look of annoyance. He tried again but failed in the attempt.
"I seriously hope Sir that you do not count me with the fools. Just because I' am a Lady doesn't mean I should be unable to defend myself."
The crew started to laugh again and I glared at the Captain happily.
"Of course I do not count you as a fool your highness but a Lady defending herself is unheard of."
"Well then you are mistaken then because I am the exception."
And with that I lunged into an attack he fought back shocked. I attacked with such force and accuracy that the crew just stood there gaping at me. Our duel continued as if they didn't exsist. He was getting angry now. I was in a tight constricting dress and he in loose and easy cloths but I still wasn't giving in. I used the move to disarm him and to my surprise it worked and his beautiful silver sword was flung from him. The crew gasped and drew swords immediately all aimed at me. I remained calm.
"I see I have successfully made my point." I defeatedly dropped my sword and raised my hands in defeat. I was immediately grasped by two muscular arms and wrenched backwards. I couldn't move my arms to my secret hold with my daggers in. I stumbled and cried out. The Captain had now got up and looking at me confused. A loud bang announced that the other half of the crew were back. I looked at the figure of my sleeping father being dragged out. My heart wrenched. I started to beg.
"Please. Please. Don't hurt them. They are defenceless and drugged. They are innocent. Leave them be. You can have anything just leave them be." The Captain stared at me amused. I pleaded with him through my eyes.
Edwards POV
She stood there pleading with me. I had to smirk. Before she was fighting for them and now she was defenceless and poor and willing to die for her crew and what I could only assume was her father. The king was of no importance to me. His daughter though…. I wonder. The drugged men started to awaken. They stared wide eyed in horror as I walked up to The Angel in my first mates restraint and turned her face towards them. They started struggling and I laughed at their attempts. Then I asked her loudly enough for everyone to hear.
"I wonder… would you be willing to give me you for the lives of these men and the safety of this ship?"
I heard her breathe hitch.
