"Would you like some breakfast?" I was startled by softness of the voice. The Captain was sitting at the table with toast and butter infront of him. He glanced at the seat opposite him. I walked silently over to him and sat down.

Edwards POV
Breakfast was over and I left so Isabella could change. After a couple minutes she opened the door and walked out in a beautiful midnight blue dress. It was tight and fitting but was also elegant and simple. Her dark curls up in a bun it bounced as she walked. I took her hand and lead her onto the deck to meet the crew. She hesitated but followed.
"What did you do on the other ship?" I was wondering what she did all day.
"I cooked the meals and sang to the crew while they worked." She whispered almost inaudibly.
"You cook!" I was surprised but I knew that she couldn't be trusted in the kitchen. Too many sharp objects she could use to stab me with. But the singing. I had heard rumours of her voice. It was her song that caused her name the Angel of the Sea. This was going to be interesting.
"What do you sing?"
She seemed worried now.
"Whatever my…………father said…" she muttered. Her voice full of pain. I felt a twinge of guilt but continued to drag her around the deck.
"Well I say you can sing hallelujah for me now then." I stopped and turned to face her. Her eyes slightly cheered at the thought but she still remained sad. Her voice quivered but she started to sing. After the first few lines her voice grew stronger and louder.
Well
I've heard there was a secret chord
David played and it pleased
the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
Well it
goes like this:
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the
major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well your faith was strong
but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty
and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to her kitchen
chair
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
And from your
lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Oh baby I have been here before
I've
seen this room and I've walked this floor
You know I used to live
alone before I knew you
And I've seen your flag on the marble
arch
And love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a
broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well there was a time when you let me know
What's
really going on below
But now you never show that to me do you
And
remember when I moved in you
The holy dove was moving too
And
every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well maybe there is a God above
But
all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who
outdrew you
And it's not a cry you that hear at night
It's not
somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken
Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelu
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
By now a crowd had gathered to listen to my Angel sing. I mean the Angel. She had her eyes closed the entire time. When she was done they still didn't open.
