Runaway With a Pirate

Chapter 29

Willow went to her room once everyone made their way off the boat. She understood what Sawyer meant when Pirate island would not be safe for her to walk around. But she hated being stuck on the boat, so to pass the time she cleaned her room. When she finished cleaning her room she had nothing to do and decided to take a nap. Wasn't long before she had fallen asleep.

Bang!

Willow awoke with a jump.

Bang!

Looking around Willow tried to figure out where the noise was coming from.

Bang!

As her eyes landed on her door it busted open. Four men walked in and stared at her.

"What are you doing here?" Willow asked standing from her bed.

They all eyed her like she was some kind of prize.

"Why don't you come with us," one with a deep voice said.

"No, I'm good," Willow said," now get out."

"No," another said.

"If you don't come with us then we'll make you," a third said.

They all lunged at Willow. Terrified Willow did her best to get out of their way. Unfortunately one of them and managed to grab her wrist and pulled her close to him. Instinctively she began to try to get out of his hold. As they started dragging her out of her room she scratched the man holding her on the face. He cried out and shoved Willow away from him. Taking her advantage she booked it. Not looking back Willow had almost made it to the deck when she felt something sharp stab her arm. Not looking at what stabbed her she runs off the boat. It wasn't until she felt far enough from them did she stop and see that there was an arrow sticking out of her arm. Pulling it out Willow held in a cry of pain.

"Where did that bitch go?" A deep male voice asks.

Looking around Willow saw them and they saw her. Turning around Willow started running again. She took as many turns as she could just to make sure they couldn't follow, but she was also looking for anyone she knew. Sadly she didn't find anyone. Turning another corner Willow ran into someone. Landing and the ground Willow had to take a minute to process what just happened.

"Let me help you up," a male voice said.

"No, I'm fine," Willow said standing on her own.

She felt eyes on her again. Looking around she couldn't see any of the men she was running from, but as soon as her attention went to the man she ran into she was it was him that was starting at her. The look he was giving her made Willow uncomfortable.

"I'll be going now," Willow said taking a few steps back.

"Oh come now," the man said grabbing her wrist," I don't bite."

"I'm sure you don't but I have things to do," Willow said," so if you don't mind.

She started trying to get her wrist free from the man. But to no avail, the man just wouldn't let go.

"Let her go," a voice Willow recognized growls.

She froze from trying to get free and looks at the owner of the voice. Sawyer. It was Sawyer. The man holding her wrist turns to look at Sawyer too.

"Is this little thing yours?" The man asked.

"She is now let her go," Sawyer said.

That for some reason made Willow's stomach flutter. The man didn't let her go and Sawyer noticed that. His eyes went into slits and Sawyer looked like he was going to murder the guy. The look obviously scared the man for he let go and took off running with his tail between his legs.

"Willow, what happened?" Sawyer asked walking over to her.

"I was in my room and then the next thing I know my door is busted open and these men are trying to attack me," Willow said," I managed to scratch one on the face and run from them."

"Which lead you here?" Sawyer asked.

"Yes and no," Willow said," I was trying to find one of you to help."

Sawyer opened his mouth to say something but his nose twitched and his eyes started searching her body. They stopped when they landed on her arm where the arrow used to be.

"What the hell did they use to cause that?" Sawyer asked.

"Oh, I think one of them had a bow and arrow because before I ran onto the deck one of them shot me with an arrow," Willow answered.

Sawyer didn't say a word he just gently grabbed her arm and expected the wound.

"On our way to the boat, we will need to keep an eye out for Eleanor," Sawyer said.

"Why?" Willow asked.

"Eleanor used to be a doctor," Sawyer said as they started walking.

Williw was unable to say anything. She couldn't believe that Eleanor used to be a doctor.

As they made their way to the boat they had no luck in finding Eleanor. But as they made it to the boat they saw Eleanor walking towards it.

"Eleanor," Sawyer said.

She froze and turned in their direction. When she saw that Willow was with him she had confusion written on her face.

"Don't ask," Sawyer said as they approached," but I need you to stitch her arm up."

"What happened?" Eleanor asked directing the question to Willow as she looked over her arm.

"Four men chased me off the boat and one of them shot me with an arrow," Willow said shortening her story so she didn't have to retail the long one.

Eleanor's face went from blank to surprise at Willow's short story. Not saying a word she gave a nod to Sawyer and walked with Willow onto the boat. Taking her to the kitchen she began to closely examine the wound. Not seeing anything serious she began to patch it up.

"There you go all better," Eleanor said standing back slowing Willow to look at it.

"Thanks," Willow said jumping off the counter," feels brand new."

Walking out of the kitchen Willow went to look for Sawyer. She had a few things she wanted to say and ask him before she went to bed.
