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.

The men frantically struggling against their restraints. I laughed again and looked back to the scared but beautiful face of the Princess. She met the eyes with all of the crew and then gazed at the sleeping form of her father. She seemed to make her decision up that very second.

"No Princess. You can't"

"Fight. Run."

"Don't worry about us get out of here."

"Please save yourself."

The comments got louder but her father still didn't wake. With tears in her eyes she turned to me.

"If you promise not to harm my family and leave this ship be then I will go.…"

A single tear escaped her eye and flew down her face. The crew gasped and begged her to take it back but I cut them off and smiled at her. Emmett picked her up.

"Emmett take her away. You know where."

I smirked at the defeated expression on the faces of the crew. I turned and ordered them to lock the men in their brig and take all the treasure we can find. Not that it would matter to them as they I had already been promised the one treasure they valued the most. This made me grin like a cheshire cat. They dispersed and started to search.

Bella POV

I was trapped in big arms and carried across the plank and onto the new ship that was to be my prison. Several men followed. Lustful but fearful looks in their eyes. I didn't regret my decision because my family meant more to me that my life. They would come for me I knew but I hoped that the Captain would keep his promise. I closed my eyes and relaxed as I was slowly laid down on a silk covered bed. As I felt the quilt my eyes shot open to look at the man in the doorway. He was hugely muscled and broad shouldered. His hair was short and his face had dimples. He reminded me of a little boy I knew as a child. He turned his back to me and stood cross armed infront of the door. Guarding me. I took this time to look around me. Straightened my dress and sat properly on the bed and began to undo my hair. It was too formal for a pirate. I wasn't tired but I was determined to make sure that the promise was kept. This must be the Captains cabin and I could see my ship out the window. I ran up to it and pressed my face near the glass. I begged for any sign that he was true to his word. I saw the men being pushed down below and as they passed the window opposite mine I saw that they were ok. Relief filled my heart when I was suddenly grabbed from behind and thrown on the bed. Is saw the dimpled man, Emmett staring at me.

"Stay" he instructed as I shot him a worried look. I knew what was coming but I didn't hide or move I did as he instructed. He turned back to the door and maintained his stance again. I sat there. Waiting. No one came. No one talked. I felt cruel reality take hold of me and I shuddered. I wouldn't let them see my tears. I was strong. I would escape and they would never see me again.

Edwards POV

As the crew dispersed I went to find the Princesses room. She would be staying with us for a while and I wished her to be comfortable even though she would wish to be elsewhere. I entered the Captains chambers expecting to find her room off to the side but instead I found her quarters. Realisation dawned on me. It was her ship and her father was Captain but she was more important. I grabbed a cotton bag from a desk close by and went to the draws. I rammed clothes and corsets and surprisingly trousers into the bag which was no where near full. For a princess she didn't have many clothes. I walked over to a dressing table and packed her a hairbrush her make up and assorted items she may need. I also grabbed one or two books and charts from the Captain's room. I emerged on deck to see hordes of treasure being loaded onto my ship. I smiled. That's the thing I like to see. I slung the bag over my back and walked across the plank. I shouted to the crew to hurry up and they jumped and hastened to abide. I crossed the deck to my quarters and saw Emmett standing guard. I approached and passed him. He turned to close the door behind me but I stopped him.

"Check for treasure again then set it ablaze."

A piercing NO rang through the room. I turned to see the Princess curled up and crying her eyes out. Emmett left a smug look on his face. The crew returned to the ship and we began to move. I turned back to the Princess and she still lay there. I wanted to comfort her but I restrained myself. Suddenly she looked up and ran at me a shiney dagger in her hands. The dagger fell as I dodged and fell to the ground she flew out the door before I could get up. I ran after her at full speed. The deck was full of the sobs of the Princess as she watched her ship burn. She shouted for her father and for some of the crew by name. No one answered. She tried to climb overboard but I got to her and pulled her away. She screamed and thrashed against me but her feet moved. She started sobbing violently. I pulled her into the privacy of my cabin again. I felt bad now. The story of Princess Isabella was that her mother died at birth and her father took to the seas to prevent her being kidnapped and harmed. She would sing and dance for her crew and enjoy her time with them. There was rumoured a secret that no one except them knew but I think we had discovered it. She could defend herself entirely. I wonder what other talents she has.
