Ch5 - A Dirty Pirate! Pt3
I nodded, before following him; knowing that my fate was now sealed, and that I was going to be held captive on his ship...
We arrived at the port, where his ship was docked; I took in, it's size as we got closer. I spoke.
"What's her, name?"
Hook, answered.
"The Jolly Roger...she's the fastest pirate ship, there is" I nodded, as he continued. "Now, since I haven't got the jewels; and you've offered yourself in their place, we must leave immediately. I will ask for ransom, in a couple of days; now, if you'd be so kind, to follow me Princess"
I nodded, as I followed him up the gangplank; his crew watched, as I stepped onto the deck. I could hear murmuring, as I walked past them; I recognised the crew members, from the previous evening.
Hook, spoke.
"Unfortunately, I was unable to procure the jewels; but as you can see, I've found an even more valuable treasure, in form of the Princess...Now, she is not to be touched...Smee, take the Princess to the brig; I'm sure, she'll be quite comfortable there"
The one he called Smee, took me by the arm; before escorting me, to the brig. As I walked past Hook, he handed me; my bag, but not my cloak. I kept my gaze forward, as I was led; to what was going to be my home, for the next few days.
I could hear, Hook; as he barked orders, to his crew. Smee, kept his hand on my arm; as we descended into the brig, once there, he opened the door. He gestured for me, to step inside; I stepped over the threshold, before the door slammed.
I sat down, on the small cot; as Smee, left. I was engulfed in darkness, I sighed, as I knew I wouldn't see daylight; unless Hook, allowed me to do so. I was a prisoner, after all; my freedom, was probably the last thing on his mind.
I reached into my bag, lifting out my swan pendant; I placed it around my neck, before holding it between my fingers. My parents, are probably aware of my absence; I just hope, they will understand.
I stood up, as I tried to peer out of the small window; only to be met with the ocean. We must have disembarked, from the port; which means, I have two days of this to endure...two days until he asks my parents for ransom.
I sighed, before remembering his words; why would he, tell his crew that I wasn't to be touched? Was he worried, something might happen; had he not warned them?
I remembered, something my father once told me; he said pirates are ruthless, only after one thing...treasure, and they would stop at nothing to get it, but since I stopped Hook, does that mean...he wants me for himself?
I shivered, knowing that I wouldn't let him; I've never been with a man, but would that motivate Hook? Would he want to take me, and ruin me; before any other man, could get me?
Or is he one of those, men; that pay, for a woman to service him? I hoped, I never find out; but one things for certain, he and I, will never be anything other than a the dirty pirate and the crown princess.
I sighed softly, as he seemed so different; I still couldn't wrap my head around, his appearance at the ball. He was a gentleman, and now...well, now he's a pirate and I'm his captive.
I heard the door open, before being greeted by Smee; he spoke.
"The Captain, requests for you to join him for supper"
I spoke.
"You can tell, your Captain; I shall do no, such thing. I'm fine, where I am; thank you"
Smee, sighed; before speaking again.
"If I don't bring, you to his cabin; there will be consequences"
I sighed, before standing up; I spoke again.
"Why does the captain, want me to join him?"
Smee, answered.
"You may, be a prisoner; Princess, but he made it clear, you are to be treated with respect"
I nodded, before he opened the door; I stepped out, before joining him. He took me, to Hook's cabin; I watched as he knocked, before hearing a muffled answer. Smee inclined his head; indicating that I should go inside.
I took a breath, before walking inside; Hook greeted me, before gesturing for me to sit. He spoke.
"I'm glad, you decided to join me; Princess"
I spoke.
"I wasn't going to, at first; but then Smee, mentioned there would be consequences if I didn't. So I didn't really have a choice, to join you"
He looked at me, before placing a cup in front of me; I glanced at him, he spoke.
"Ever had, rum; Princess?"
I shook my head, before answering.
"No, it's not something I'm accustomed too"
He nodded, before speaking.
"Well, by the time I'm done with you; you'll be well accustomed to it"
I nodded, while staying silent; he continued to look at me, he opened his mouth to speak. Only to be interrupted, when our supper arrived; the cook, kept his gaze on me.
Hook, clears his throat; before the cook, scurried off. Hook waited for me, to take a bite; before eating his own meal, we made light conversation as we ate. I took a small sip, of the rum; shuddering as I did, clearly it's an acquired taste.
Hook, chuckled; as I grimaced, he took a sip from his own cup, I watched as he didn't even flinch. I spoke.
"Captain, I must ask; why you placed me, in your brig?"
He answered.
"You seem to forget, Princess; you're my prisoner, you traded yourself for the jewels. And it's the safest place, I can't have you wondering around my ship; as not all of my men, are too happy that I didn't come back with the treasure. So that is why, I placed you in the brig; and you will only leave, when I request for you to do so"
I nodded, knowing that he was right; I did trade myself, for the jewels. So it's only fair, that I stay in the brig; I suppose, it's best if I surrender to my fate. I no longer, had any freedom; my freedom as limited as it is, is now in the hands...well hand, of Captain Hook.
I finished my meal, thanking Hook; he stood, before opening the door. He called for Smee, who appeared within seconds; Hook, spoke.
"Smee, take the Princess; back to the brig"
Smee, nodded; as he followed the Captains orders; we walked in silence, as Smee took me back to my cell. I sat down, before Smee left; the door closed, and I was once again encased in darkness...
