ONE

"Attack!" Captain Styles commanded his men with great power and only moments passed before the enemy crew were all lying on the floor. Dead. Blood carpeted the wooden deck crimson.

"Search the ship. If you find anyone, bring them to me." Harry ordered his men.

Louis was staring at the door in front of him. He heard the swords clinking as the ship was invaded. He heard the bodies drop but he did not move. He sat there. He knew he was going to be passed around and used until his inevitable demise. He prayed that whoever captured him now is merciful enough to simply kill him.

The sound of doors being opened was heard. Footsteps moved closer and closer until the door to the room he was in was opened as well. Louis looked up to see a blonde haired pirate staring at him. The blonde moved forward and untied where he was tied to the pole. He was then forced to stand as the blonde pirate dragged him out without any resistance on Louis's part. His back was hurting from the fresh whipping he received just a few moments prior to the attack.

Niall thought it weird that the man he was dragging out did not protest. One once over showed him that the man was badly bleeding and if the limp is anything to go by, rape too is a factor to be considered heavily.

He dragged Louis out onto the blood covered deck and Louis simply followed. "Cap'n. I found a man below deck. 'E was tied up in the brig." Niall says as he pushes Louis forward and Louis audibly winces.

The Captain looks at him when he winces before turning to the blonde. "Go help Gigi stock up Niall." The Captain says.

"Aye Captain." Niall says before he disappears.

The Captain stalks forward until he's standing in front of Louis. "Look up!" The Captain commands and Louis does only wincing when he felt the stinging on his back. He tried his best not to show it.

The Captain stared at him for a while.

"Cap'n that's the Prince. That's Prince Louis Tomlinson!" A man yells. Louis's stomach sinks.

"I knew he looked familiar." The captain smirked at Louis who remained emotionless. He could see how beautiful the man in front of him is. His green eyes although cruel were unmatched and if Louis had his sketch pad he would draw them.

"How much money do you think we'll get for returning him Liam?" The captain asks the man who shouted out Louis's identity.

"I reckon a hefty amount Cap'n." Liam replies.

"Nothing." Louis says softly as he looks down again.

The captain raises an eyebrow. "Excuse me you spoiled brat?" He snarls as places his cutlass against Louis's neck.

Louis looks up with his still emotionless eyes. His features were no doubt tired. "The King won't pay you anything if he's the one who sold me to begin with." Louis says and he doesn't know why it stings but it does. It stings so badly. "Just kill me please." Louis says and for the first time since his mother died a tear rolls down his cheek and to emphasise his point, he presses against the cutlass held against his throat. His skin breaks and a tiny sliver of blood trickles down onto the sharp blade held against his neck. "Please." He begs hoping that the pirate captain will show him mercy.

The captain stares into the Prince's emotionless and unreadable eyes. He places a firm grip on the man's bicep and drags him to his own ship 'The Bloody Pearl.'

He throws Louis onto the deck. "I'm not stupid Prince. I know what you're tryin to do and I ain't gonna fall for your lies." Harry says with little venom laced into his voice. Louis doesn't react. His prayers won't be answered. He won't be shown mercy.
