Amity and Willow were terrified as this female pirate ordered them up on deck with the rest of the crew. As the two made their way up they saw the dead on both sides littering the floor. Amity caught a glance of 2 sailors throwing the bodies overboard. Amity breathed a sigh of relief as she saw Hunter was alright. Slightly injured but alright. As they joined the sailors lined up on the floor they saw the pirates move aside. Amity heard a singular pair of boot clatter as Captain Clawthore approached, She had pale skin with gray hair done in a ponytail. She wore a dark red coat adorned with gold buttons. Her high-waisted pants in a similar dark shade, tucked into dark mid-calf-length boots. Her right hand was gone, replaced with a golden hook. Her hat was tattered from the days at sea. She walked up to captain Darius "So you thought you could pass through my water without me finding you. How cute now tell me what are you moving? The Brits don't send a 3rd rate unless they are moving precious cargo." Eda said as Darius spat in her face."I'd sooner die than tell you anything." Daris exclaimed defiantly.

"Very well if that be your wish." Eda said with one slash of her claw she ripped his throat. Amity and Willow gasped, horrified, as Captain Clawthorne's swift brutality silenced Darius in an instant. Blood spattered across the deck, and Darius collapsed, his defiance extinguished as the pirate queen wiped her hook clean on her coat, eyes glinting with satisfaction. "Alright Luz Pistol if you would be so kind." She declared as the young female pirate handed her captain a loaded pistol. "Okay the next one of you better answer my question or you're getting shot through your skull." Eda said as she picked Hunter out.

"Alright boy tell me what you were moving or you'll have a meeting with Davy Jones locker." She exclaimed as she cocked her pistol. Amity realizing the severity of the situation realized what she had to do. "Stop, don't harm him, it's me you want!" She yelled, drawing the attention of the owl lady. "And just who you might be?" Eda asked, putting her pistol away. 'My name is Lady Amity Blight. I am Daughter of Lord Alador Blight, governor of Barbados. This ship and its crew were tasked with escorting me to Barbados to be reunited with my father. Please don't harm another soul on this ship and take me as your prisoner for ransom." Amity exclaimed as Eda put away the pistol.

"Governors daughter eh. Oh yes you will fetch us a nice bounty. Boys bring me a chest." Eda shouted as 2 sailors brought an oak chest, its iron hinges coated in rust. She then turned to Hunter recognizing his uniform and grabbed him by his jacket." Since your captain is disposed of that would make you In charge so listen carefully boy because i'm only got to say this once. If the governor wishes to see his precious daughter again this chest will be filled to the brim with gold. You then will meet me in 3 months time off the coast of Tortuga. If you try to give chase Or come after her she'll be visiting Davy Jones locker." she said as she tossed him to the ground. "Now Ms. Blight would you be so kind as to step onto the Gray Owl so we can get on our way. I promise my Crew will take any of your belongings you wish to have with you during your stay with us." Eda said as Amity stood up and made her way across the gangplank. Hunter looked on with fury in his eyes. He wished he could do something but he was no fool. Any attempt to intervene would endanger Amity and the whole crew. Amity told the pirates to grab some of her clothes as well as her books. Following their captain's orders the pirates grabbed Amity's belongings. "Be safe lady Blight." Willow said as Amity was led off HMS Titan. " I will be and we shall see each other again." Amity replied as the pirates released the moorings holding the 2 ships together.

With that the 2 ships went their separate ways. Hunter could only look as the Gray Owl disappeared into the sea. He had to take command."Begin repairs at once. Tend to any wounded." He ordered as the crew went straight to work."Sir what will you do about Lady Blight." Willow asked Hunter."Nothing as of now. We couldn't take them on at full strength, we would have no chance of fighting them now. Our best hope is to make it to port and gather rest assured we shall rescue Amity" Hunter exclaimed as Willow gave him a hug." Oh thank you Hunter." She exclaimed, causing Hunter to have a slight blush."Yes of course now if you could assist the ship's doctor with any wounded." Hunter exclaimed as Willow did as told….

Meanwhile….

On the Gray Owl Amity was escorted to a cell by that spanish girl."Welcome to our VIP cell hermosa." She said Amity looked at the cell. It was the only cell that had a bed though said bed was in pretty rough shape." How do you expect me to sleep in such squalor you filthy spaniard." Amity exclaimed, visibly frustrated."Simple, you close your eyes and pretend it's a dream." Luz said mockingly as she locked Amity in. She then called for a sailor. A man approached. "Stay on watch of this girl till we hit the harbor. Do you understand that sailor?" Luz said menacingly. "Yes bosun Luz." The sailor replied. Amity was shocked. That girl was 2nd in command on this ship. "Don't get too comfortable, Lady Blight," Luz said, her voice laced with sarcasm. "Captain Clawthorne is known for her generosity toward hostages… provided they don't cause any trouble."

Amity glared back. "Generosity? You pirates know nothing of the word," she shot back. "You're nothing more than vultures, preying on others for your own gain." Luz looked at her and laughed. "If that's how you want to play this, be my guest and enjoy your stay in that cell." she exclaimed as she walked out of the room…

A Few Hours Later…

Amity had just finished reading her book when she suddenly felt the urge to pee. As she looked to signal the guard she saw he had fallen asleep with the key on his belt. Perhaps this was an opportunity to escape. She carefully put down her book and made her way to the cell door. Extending her arm she could just reach his belt carefully tugging at it. She pulled back as the guard stirred, muttering nonsense. She was full of nerves as she made a 2nd attempt. The keychain came rattling in the process though the guard remained asleep. Carefully inserting into the lock she turned and the cell door gave way. She pushed only enough to slide out as the cell door was quite squeaky. Luckily the guard was fast asleep. "Now for the next step, getting off this ship" Amity thought to herself as she made her way out of the cell. Carefully she moved so as to not make a sound passing by the sleeping quarters of the crew. Climbing on deck she was careful to avoid the few pirates on deck. It Was The middle of the night with only the moonlight and a few lanterns of the sailors on watch to illuminate the deck of the Gray Owl.

Amity made her way to a lifeboat on the stern port it she found it already was equipped with provisions. As she began to work on readying the craft for launch the davits creaked as they were swung over. Before she could step in, a hand pulled her back."What we got here a little runaway. Captain wont like that." The pirate said, pushing Amity into the arms of another sailor who quickly stuffed her mouth with a rag. Amity tried with all her might to resist but they were too strong. "Lets send her back to her cell tom." The other pirate said." Why the rush mate. When's the last time you had the company of a woman this fine." He said, stroking his dirty hand across Amity's face. Her face suddenly was engulfed in terror. She attempted to scream but the rag in her mouth muffled any noise she tried making. " I don't like this. This aint with the code Tom." the other pirate said.

"Don't be a wimp. Ain't nobody gonna stop us. We have a bit of fun then drop her off. Nobody will know." Tom said as he tore at Amity's dress revealing her undergarments. Amity muffled screams were only matched by her tears as she was utterly powerless to stop them. "Don't worry love you'll enjoy this." Tom said laughing as Amity closed her eyes not wanting to see what came next. "Bang" the sound of a gunshot rang out in the black of the night. Amity opened her eyes to see the pirate's head dripping with blood. The shot had gone clean through his skull. His body went limp, collapsing on her body. Amity managed to get her head up to see who had fired the shot. It was Luz. The other pirate terrified began to run. Luz pulled a dagger out of her boot and with a precise throw embedded it into the pirates back causing him to fall to the ground writhing in pain."Break the code and pay the price." She said as she went to remove the body of Tom off of Amity."Are you ok hermosa?" Luz said as she helped Amity up.

Amity removing the rag Amity held up her damaged dress."Thank you but why did you save me?" Amity asked as she looked at this woman."Simple it's my job to enforce the captain's code and dish punishment if necessary. They broke the biggest rule." Amity said as Captain Clawthorne and the crew came up."What in the name of Davy Jones is going on here Luz?" Eda said, using her claw to pick at her teeth."Caught these two attempting to violate our guest." Captain Clawthorne walked up to the guilty sailor picking him up by his shirt." So ye thought you could have a little fun. You know the rule, no touching a woman without her consent." Eda exclaimed with a level of fury in her eyes that sent fear into the men." It wasn't me captain it was all Tom I swear I did nothing." The sailor pleaded." You had every chance to stop him and you did nothing. Bring me a ball and chain. Your fate is the sea." Eda shouted. Amity watched as sailors brought a ball and chain fastening it to his leg. He continued to plead for mercy though his pleas fell on deaf ears. He was soon pushed to the edge of the deck and tossed over. Amity heard his screams as he struggled to stay afloat before it went silent as he was sucked beneath the waves to Davy Jones locker."Let this be a lesson to all of ye. Break the code at your own risk." Eda exclaimed as she turned to Amity."Ms. Blight I'd suggest you refrain from any further escape attempts. You may not be so lucky." Eda exclaimed as Luz walked up to her."let's get ye some replacement clothes Hermosa." Luz stated as she grabbed Amity and took her below deck.
