TWELVE

They had been travelling to England for a little over three weeks and they are due to dock in the morning.

Luna has really come out of her shell and is very headstrong as is Leo. They both learned to use a cutlass eventhough it was a little too big for them especially Leo, they were very insistent.

The crew were a bit surprised and shocked when the kids referred to Harry and Louis as dadda and papa respectively but kept their mouths shut.

They were given their room and they took to it without any problems. Leo would wonder down to Harry and Louis's cabin during the first week after having nightmares and sleep with them but not after that.

They carry around a weapon much like the rest of the crew and the crew adore them. They love Harry and Louis and have no problem with referring to them as their parents.

The sky was coated in a dark blue as stars sparkled like glitter in the sky. The salty wind blew in the faces of the crew that were currently drinking and having fun out on the deck. They were singing and dancing and engaging the little ones in the activities when a call from the crow's nest puts everyone into an alert state of mind.

"Enemy ship approaching!" Was yelled out. The little ones were pushed back all the way into Harry's and Louis's cabin before the door was shut.

Dadda!" Leo yelled for Harry.

"Stay here both of you. Don't come out. Stay with Luna, Leo." Harry yells out to his kids before getting ready for the fight. Soon boards were lowered into their ship and bodies were dropping.

A man ran at Louis when his back was turned and Harry shot him before continuing the fight in front of him.

Louis took one quick look before returning to the man who was swinging at him with a cutlass. He intercepted it with his own. He leaned back, moving his weight onto his left foot that was behind before pushing forward and effectively pushing the weight on his cutlass before piercing the man's heart with his cutlass and pulling out.

It was a tougher fight but it was coming to a finish. No one saw someone sneak into the captain's cabin until a screaming Luna and crying Leo came into view. The enemy crew was dead apart from the man who seems to be the captain of the enemy ship since he is wearing a tricorn.

A sudden sense of deja vu passes through Harry when he sees his kids being held at the end of a blade except last time it was Louis and Louis is an adult.

"Let them go!" Louis yelled. Liam and Niall who were on the quarter deck were ready to jump on command. The crew were positively scared for the little ones they had grown so fond of.

"Try anything and I'll kill these filthy little animals." The man threatened.

"You wouldn't dare harm my children you scum." Harry bellowed.

"Captain Styles has children?" The man laughs. "Last I heard, you're a fag." He sneers at Harry.

The crew gasp. "Dadda! Papa!" Leo yelled. "Help!" He cried.

"Let my little ones go!" This time it was a fuming Louis.

"I see." The man smirked. He looked at Louis and then at Harry with disgust. He was too caught up in insulting Harry and Louis that he didn't worry too much about the little ones he was holding at the end of a blade being a threat. "I thought you were the most feared Styles." The man laughed. "And I had heard of your lover being equally as deadly." He sneered. "But kids? Really?" He laughed manically. "So so vulnerable." He said mockingly.

Luna took the opportunity of the man being distracted to slowly retrieve her dagger from her boot. She stepped hard on the man's foot making him falter and she pierced the blade into the man's heart.
