James POV

I carried Isabella into my cabin before locking the door behind me. I heard the signal and I knew that the fight was over. I had what I wanted. I looked at the form of the silent girl infront of me. She didn't look at me only at the floor. She was certainly beautiful. I couldn't wait for her to be mine. I heard the crews thumping footsteps hit the deck outside.

"Welcome to your new home princess."

"Why did you take me?" Her voice seemed to sing to my ears.

"You were not told?" She shook her head slowly.

"There are rumours of your beauty that have encircled the world. All men want you for themselves. So the pirate captains and I decided to have a little race if you will."

"A race for what? Me?" She was curious now.

"The one who claims your hand in marriage will be pronounced Lord of the waters. He will be immune to all attacks and rule the seven seas. Not only that but he may do whatever he wishes to his newly acquired bride. She stared at me in horror. Not a word passed her lips. She looked terrified. I took one last look at the silent form before unlocking the door and leaving. I heard her sobs as I strode on deck. All heads looked to me for direction. The midnight sun behind us in the distance they wanted to know where to go.

"Well done men. A great battle. They will surely come after us but we have their prize. I must say she is a beauty." I smirked. A beauty indeed I added to myself.

"The wedding will be in four days. All must be in attendance, unattendence means death. Is that clear?" Nods all around.

"Good now no one is to enter that room. She must stay there until her wedding day. Once I am Lord of the waters we will be the most feared ship ever to sail. Let's prepare."

I left them to get ready for the wedding. Meanwhile I grabbed a telescope and looked back at the ship that was following us. By the time they get here it will be too late. She will not belong to them.

Edward POV

Forgive me Isabella. I'm coming for you. I'm coming. Wait for me. Please I can't' leave without you.

Bella POV

I sat on the bed in the captain's cabin. Edward would come. He had to. But what if he didn't love me?
