Chapter 20

*Mal's POV*

After Uma's pirate crew sailed away in the boats towards Skull Rock with Evie, Lonnie, and Carlos as their prisoners Harry turns to me, looking me up and down with a lustful look in his eyes.

"Alone at last" Harry cackled before dragging me below deck.

I tried fighting against Harry but it was no use, he was too strong. Finally fed up with me resisting him Harry takes out his hook and holds it to my throat.

"This will go a lot easier if you don't fight it" Harry sneered.

I stopped struggling long enough to look him in the eye.

"You're not going to get away with this" I replied.

"Look around dearie, there's no one here but you and me" Harry chuckled.

I shuddered. For the first time in my life I was afraid.

"Don't be frightened though, when I make love to you I'll try and be gentle" Harry replied while leering at me.

After opening the door to his cabin Harry drags me inside while closing the door.

"Oh Mal, I can't tell you how long I've waited for this moment" Harry replied before throwing me on his bed.

I tried to crawl away from Harry but he dragged me back over towards him.

"You do that again and not only will I hurt you but I'll hurt Beastie Boy" Harry sneered.

"Now where were we?" Harry smirked while climbing on top of me and pulling off his shirt. He then began to pull his pants down. Next he ripped my shirt off of me and started pulling my pants down. I was left in nothing but my bra and panties.

While pinning me to the bed Harry started to trail kisses down my neck.

I started screaming for help. Harry lifted his head up and looked at me.

"Give it up dearie, no one can hear you" Harry cackled.

"HELP!" I cried.

"You're wasting your time" Harry replied clearly annoyed.

Just as Harry began to trail more kisses down my neck I heard a familiar voice calling my name from above deck.

"Mal!" Ben called out.

I let out a sigh in relief, Ben had come to rescue me.

"Mal where are you?!" Ben cried.

I tried calling out to Ben but Harry put his hand over my mouth so I couldn't scream for help. Harry then takes out his hook and holds it against my throat again.

Harry leans into my ear.

"You make one sound and I will kill him" Harry whispered. "Actually, I think it's time that lover boy and I have a special chat" Harry sneered.

Harry grabs me off the bed by my handcuffs and drags me towards his closet. He tosses me in the closet and closes the door.

*Ben's POV*

Mal!" I kept calling her name but there was no response.

"Mal's here somewhere, I can feel it" I told myself. I had a gut feeling about this, sometimes I felt like Mal and I had a special connection; we were in sync. After being together for almost a year I could sense whenever she's around and what she's feeling. Whenever we're apart I feel incomplete, I can't imagine my life without Mal in it. She's my soulmate and I will fight to protect her. I don't care what happens to me just as long as Mal's alive.

With that thought in my mind I unsheathed my sword and crept down the stairs below deck.

"Mal where are you?!" I cried out again.

I crept further down the hall. I searched the first cabin on my left but it was empty. I started to open up the door to the next cabin when I heard a sinister voice.

"Well, well, well" Harry sneered. "What a nice surprise, I was wondering how long it would take you to arrive" Harry smirked.

I turned around to see Harry standing there with a smug expression on his face.

"Where's Mal?!" I growled.

Harry takes out his sword and points it at me.

"Let's just say we had quite the romantic evening, she looks way better without any clothes on" Harry sneered.

It was then that I noticed that Harry was standing there in nothing but his boxers. My face turned red with anger.

"What did you do?" I replied in a deadly calm voice.

"What you failed to do" Harry cackled.

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" I roared.

Without warning I ran at Harry so fast he didn't have time to react. I tackled him through the doorway and into his cabin. I started punching him in the face.

"Where" *punch* "is" *punch* "Mal?!" I growl in between punches.

"You really love that girl don't you" Harry smirked.

"HARRY!" I roared.

As I go to hit Harry again I didn't notice Harry reaching over for something beside him on the floor until it was too late. I felt something sharp slash my shoulder.

"Aah!" I roared. I doubled over clutching my shoulder.

I looked over to see Harry holding his father's hook. As I go to get up Harry aims a well-aimed kick at my face. I double over again clutching my face this time.

Using all the strength I had left I picked myself up off the floor. After I finally managed to get back in a standing position Harry swaggers over to a closet and opens the door. Mal falls out of the closet wearing nothing but a pair of iron handcuffs on her wrists and her bra and panties.

I was enraged at what Harry had done to my Mal but relieved that she was alive.

Harry drags Mal off the floor and hold her close to him, holding his father's hook against her throat.

I pull out my sword again and point it at Harry.

"Let her go!" I growled.

Harry shakes his head at me laughing evilly.

"Not going to happen mate" Harry sneered. "Now drop your sword or I will kill her, because if I can't have Mal then no one can" Harry cackled.

"Please don't do this!" I pleaded.

"Drop your weapon" Harry commanded.

Very slowly I placed my sword on the floor.

"Now kick it over here!" Harry shouted.

"Don't do it Ben!" Mal cried.

I let out sigh in defeat.

"If it means you'll be safe, I have to Mal" I replied while kicking the sword over to Harry.

Soon as Harry bent over to pick up the sword I reached into my jacket pocket at lightning speed and pulled out my dagger. While Harry was distracted I threw the dagger at his leg.

"Aah!" Harry howled while doubling over in pain. Soon as Harry let go of Mal she runs straight over to me. I enveloped her in a fierce hug.

"Mal, are you okay?" "Did he hurt you, are you alright?" I asked frantically while holding her close to me.

"Don't worry your Majesty, I sure she's-" Harry started.

"DON'T YOU TALK TO HER!" I roared.

"DON'T EVEN LOOK AT HER!" I roared.

While holding Mal I pressed a kiss to her forehead and then I crushed my lips to Mal's in a fierce kiss that Mal returned instantly.

Soon as we broke apart I leaned my forehead against Mal's. I reached my hand up and caressed her cheek.

"You're safe now" I replied softly.
