AN: OMFG I apologize. This chapter has been ready to go for weeks but I thought I updated this already. I am such a f****** idiot. Please forgive me.

Gwen's POV

I think we have been on this island for about a month. Everything has been going smoothly. We still keep our rescue signals up day and night, but to speak the truth, I wouldn't mind if we never were found. I mean, here we have no stress about anything. We have a good, shelter, food, water, each other. We can live here forever and I wouldn't mind at all.

I am now sitting in the beach making a basket. I remember learning to weave a basket, but I also remember sucking at it. Just as I'm half way up my lumpy, lop sided basket I look up at the ocean and couldn't believe my eyes. A ship. I jump and grab my black and red sail dress. I run up and down the beach with it, trying to flag the ship down. Trent's out hunting, so I'll have to tell them when they get here. I look back into the ocean and the ship is headed my way and they are also waving a flag around.

I jump for joy, finally we're going home. Not that I care, I mean this island is great and all, but we can't live here forever. I will miss this island, maybe we can sue the airlines and buy this island and live here. The ship anchors and a captain came out.

"Thank god, we have been trapped here for months." I said coming closer. Something in my gut says this isn't right. The ship looks like an old ship, not a cruise or anything. And these guys look likes they haven't seen land in decades.

"Sorry to disappoint you lady but we aren't here to recue you." He said in his Scottish accent. "We came because it's been years since we've seen a pretty lady." He growled. Two of the crewmates came from behind me and grabbed my arms. I started to kick and scream and trying to fight them off.

"You should have known better than to flag down a pirate ship." One hissed in my ear.

"Shackle her in the gusset room. No one touches her besides me. After lunch my dear." He laughed as the two big men dragged me to the ship. I kicked and screamed but nothing worked.

They carried me to this room and throw me in. then they shackled my ankles in old fashion shackles and order me to get dressed into one of the dresses in the closet.

"No way." I said.

"Then you can go naked." One said as his friend giggled in delight. I kicked them out and did as I was told. I was shocked that these dresses are like everything else old. Like the ones I tore up and wore. I picked a red on and put it on. Once I was fully dressed they came back in.

"Aww we missed the show." He said disappointed. Then the cuffed my hands in ancient cuffs and left me in here. What am I going to do? What about when Trent gets back from Hunting? We will notice I'm gone, but what then?

Trent's POV

I was hunting, but I wasn't having any luck. I decide o go back and fish instead. As I'm going I hear Gwen yelling. I run to the beach and see her being taken onto a ship. Oh my god, she's being kidnapped. I run to the ship as it departs and I grabbed hold a rope. It was wet and slippery but I needed to save Gwen.

I began to climb it until I reached the top. Thank god no one saw me. I quickly found some clothes to make it look like I belong here. Then I searched the boat. As I was walking I heard two crew people talking.

"Do you think the captain will let us have a go at the girl?"

"I hope so. But when dose he?"

"Maybe we can sneak in her room after dark and have some fun."

"Yeah, we should do that."

"No one is ever down on the lower deck at night anyway." That all I needed to hear. I followed stair cases until I came to the lower deck. I looked into al the room until I came to a door with no hole. I looked in the key hole and there was Gwen. She was sitting on a chair, hunched over and I am pretty sure she's crying. I grabbed the keys next to the door and open it.

She threw a shoe at my head. "Stay away from me." She yelled before I turned around. "Trent?" she whispered I came to her and took her in my arms. She was shackled and it seemed like it was hurting her.

"Its ok, I'll get you out." I said as I unlocked her feet and arms. She threw her free arms around me and hugged me tight. "Lets go." I said as I opened the door.

We walked down the hall and up the stair to the upper deck. When we reached the top the captain was there. "What is she doing out?" he yelled.

"I was told you wished to see her." I said grabbing her arm, to add to the lie.

"From who?" he asked taking his gun out.

"Him." I said pointing to a man who was mopping. "He said to hand her to him, so he can bring her to you." I finished.

The captain shot him with out missing a beet. "Well I might as well take her now. No point in waiting. Hand her over." He said extending his arm. If I don't give Gwen up they'll kill me. If I let her go they hurt her. In ways I don't want to think about. I tightened my grip on her. I'd rather die protecting her. But she stepped forward and made it look like I pushed her. Then he grabbed her free arm and she shook mine away.

"Back to work all of ya. The lady and I will be away for awhile." He laughed as he dragged her to a back room. "You, mop the deck." He yelled at me.

Everyone went back to working and I went to save Gwen. I found his room window and looked inside. Gwen was standing in the middle as he put away his gun and sword. Ok he's unarmed, but I'll still need something to take him. I looked over and found an unloaded gun, perfect bluff.

I looked back inside and Gwen's dress was on the floor and she was in her under dress. That's where I draw the line. I burst threw the window and aim the gun at him. "Let her go." I hissed. He took his dirty hands off her and she ran to me.

"I want a boat, and you to never return or I'll blow your head off."" I bluffed.

"No." he smiled coming closer. "I will not be made a fool of for a girl. I want something in return." He said looking at Gwen.

"We have jewelry. And maps and priceless clothing." She spoke up. "I found it all on an abandon ship." Gwen said.

"What flag did this ship have?" he asked curious.

"A black one, with a red skull." Gwen finished. He grew silent.

"Your free to go, never come back." He said turning around.

"Just like that?" I questioned.

"That ship is cursed. Take something from it and your cursed. The ship belongs to the island making the island cursed. I want nothing to do with you two." He hissed.

We got a rowed boat and got back to shore by dark. We don't believe the stupid cursed rumors. We didn't with Chris and we don't with the pirate. Gwen and I have been taking things from that ship and nothing happened. Luckily for us that pirate was superstitious.
