Bella POV
The crew was staring at me when I eventually opened my eyes. This was generally the reaction I received every time someone new heard me sing. Every woman envied my voice and beauty. My many names made me famous and I had no way to discourage them. I looked into the captains eyes to see them full of emotion. All the emotion I put into the song was shown in his face. I saw the regret and pain in his face. It looked as if he didn't want to hurt me. I wanted to ask him so many questions. But the most important one was his name. He obviously knew mine but I was still in the dark about his. His gaze softened my opinion of him and I found myself wanting to know more about him. What caused this life for him and why I was so important. The more I thought about him the more I realised. I was in love with my kidnapper.
Meanwhile on shore rumours of the Angel of the Sea were sweeping the country. Isabella had become the most wanted girl by all men and the most envied girl by the women. Pirates argued over who deserved to marry her and a competition was made. The first captain of a pirate ship to find and successfully marry her would become lord of the water and would be untouchable. He could do anything he wanted to her as long as they were married. The search began and all pirates set off to find the most beautiful bride. The most fearsome of these was Captain James. A ruthless criminal he lusted for the princess with a passion. He was determined to have her and no one was to get in his way.

James POV
I boarded my ship with my head held high. My crew gathered in fear before me.
"Mr Gibbs, prepare to sail. Were going after the Midnight Sun. I want to see this Princess for myself. If she's as beautiful as they say we could have a use for her."
"Yes Captain." Mr Gibbs smiled evilly hurried off shouting as he went and the crew dispersed to their stations. They sail was raised and they were off.
On the Midnight Sun
Bella POV
My life seemed to form into a routine now. Every morning I would wake up to find the mysterious Captain Cullen staring at me before he sat down to breakfast with me and we would talk about our lives. I was caught by his dazzling green eyes and bronze hair. I was in love. He didn't touch me though. I respected him and I felt that he respected me. After breakfast he would give me an odd job in the kitchen (no where near the knives and under constant supervision) or sewing and leave to do Captain stuff. I would dress and walk the length of the ship singing before going to do the job. The crew became friendlier and I learnt their names in turn. But they were keeping something from me. I could feel it. They were fast becoming my new family. I was getting used to them.
I was just settling down in the bed in the Captains cabin still in my dress when I heard a faint shout. Edward burst into the room and grabbed my arm. He ran up on deck. Dragging me behind him.
