Recap: Iris meets Sean and Nadine Kirkland, Arthur's brother and sister and they both approve of him dating Iris, but Antonio is spying on them and swears to himself that he will have Iris even it means killing Arthur to get rid of him.
Two weeks went by since Iris had met Nadine and Sean and she was pretty content with knowing that they were okay with her dating Arthur. One day she and Arthur had docked their ship in a small town about a few days from London and they were walking together while Antonio and Lovino his first were following them around town and Antonio was glaring at Arthur most of the time. Sometime in the afternoon Arthur and Iris had stopped walking and Arthur looked at his lover with a small smile on his face. "My dear I need to and pick up something on the other side of town and I need to go and get it by myself. Can you get the rest of the supplies by yourself?" he asked. "Of course I can my dear," Iris said with a smile. Arthur smiled back and nodded. "Okay then my dear I will meet you in a hour and a half," he said. "Okay," Iris said with a smile as she kissed Arthur's cheek and Arthur kissed her cheek in return. "Lovino follow Iris and I will follow Arthur remember to grab her and take her to the ship okay?" Antonio said to Lovino as Lovino nodded. "Yeah whatever," Lovino said as they followed the pirate they were suppose to follow. Antonio followed Arthur to the other side of town and he noticed that Arthur had walked into a small store that sold jewelry and he walked inside and hid somewhere so Arthur wouldn't see him. He was speaking with a young woman who had shoulder length black hair and bright brown eyes. "Hello Minnie is my ring that I ordered ready?" Arthur asked. "Oh yes it is sir let me go and get it from the back," Minnie said as she walked off for a few moments leaving Antonio and Arthur alone. Arthur looked around as he smiled to himself. "Either tonight or sometime this month I'm going to propose to Iris and hopefully we will be together forever," he said as Antonio overheard everything that Arthur said and he growled in anger. Arthur sighed happily as he saw Minnie walking back up. "Here ya go Captain Kirkland," she said as she handed him a golden band with emeralds as a small flower and a diamond in the center of the gems as Arthur smiled. "Much obliged Minnie and here you go," he said as he handed her a bag of gold. "Thanks sir," Minnie said as Arthur tipped his hat off to her and he left. Antonio waited until Minnie was looking at something else and then he left the shop. Meanwhile on the other side of town. Lovino was watching Iris buying the supplies that the crew including her and Arthur needed as he waited for the right moment to grab her. He saw her walking up as he hid in the ally he was near and once she was close enough to him. He grabbed her and Iris was surprised by this and he knew she was going to scream for help so he grabbed something from his pockets and he gagged her. "Can't be attracting attention now can we?" he said as he tied her hands behind her back. Iris cries for help were muffled as Lovino picked her up and he gently placed her over his shoulder and he ran back to the ship. Sometime later Arthur was walking back to the ship as he noticed a very familiar Spaniard hanging around the ship and he wondered what he wanted. Antonio smirked a little as he watched Arthur walking over to him. "Hey Arthur," Antonio greeted. "Hello Antonio. What is it that you want?" Arthur asked. Antonio smirked a little as he leaned against the ship. "I've took Iris as my prisoner and I won't release her to you unless you beat me at a duel for her hand," he said. Arthur was surprised and then he grew angry as he grabbed his sword and Antonio's shirt. "Let her go!" he growled as Antonio smirked. "I will if you win, but if I win I get to have her and I will kill you so you don't try to get her back. Do you agree?" Antonio asked. Arthur thought about and he nodded. "Fine where are we going to battle?" he asked. "On Islas Malvinas," Antonio said as Arthur nodded. "Fine," he said. Antonio smirked as he left and Arthur walked back onto his and Iris's ship and he walked to the cabin and prayed that Antonio was joking on how he had Iris and when he opened the door his fear was true. He sighed sadly as he walked to the bed and he sat down as he looked at the area where she slept as he sighed a little. "I will save you my dear no matter what," he said. Over on Antonio's ship. Antonio walked into his cabin and he smirked when he saw Iris. Iris saw him and she tried to back up a little as her cries were muffled. Antonio removed the gag from her mouth. "Sorry about that Iris," he said. "What the hell Antonio?" Iris snapped. "What's wrong?" Antonio asked. "You kidnapped me and you think you can win me over by a duel?" Iris said. Antonio sighed a little. "I know it the wrong thing to do and I apologize for that," he said as he untied her. Iris rubbed her wrists as she smiled a little. "It's okay," she said. Antonio nodded as he smiled a little as he wondered what was going happen in a week.
Wow this is going to be awesome. Well I don't own Hetalia I wish I did.
