Blind Channel Short Stories

Joel Hokka - The Pirate (Pt I)

Requested by: @IamLizziet

Elizabeth

"I have a gift for you." My father says, showing me a beautiful light green dress as my hand maidens start pulling me behind the screen.

"Thank you father the dress is beautiful." I told my father and then they begin to squeeze me into the corset.

"Women in London must have forgotten about wanting to breathe." I said, while they begin to shove me into more things. I decided to leave my hair out because I did not want a hat or anything of that sort.

I found myself watching the knighting ceremony or something like that, it was boring to say the least. Men in the army just getting knighted and noticed. I stood on top of the cliffs and I could not breathe. I could feel myself getting faint when someone was speaking to me, and I felt myself slipping off into the rocks.

Joel

I was detained by the men in red coats, until I saw a fair maiden falling off the cliffs and I looked at the soldiers.

"Aren't you fine gentlemen going to save her?" I asked the two soldiers in the red coats and they chuckled.

"You lot are the king's navy!" I said, pulling off my hat and coat and throwing it at them. "Make sure you keep these safe." I grumble, these stupid idiots are the king's navy and they can't fucking swim. I jumped into the water and decided to save the maiden. Her corset was weighing us both down and I ripped it off, letting it drop to the surface of the water.

I managed to bring her up on the surface and the two soldiers were still crowding around me, and I got out my knife.

"Move you idiots!" I said, and I ripped off her corset and she began coughing up water. She was quite beautiful red hair all around.

"I wouldn't have thought of that." They said to me. I sighed looking at them idiots and she sat up looked up at me.

Elizabeth

I woke up coughing up water and I was met by the most beautiful man, like his blonde hair was wet and those crystalline blue eyes as he crouched beside me.

"Are you alright?" He asks me and I nodded. God he wore black, a black chemise with tight leggings and boots. He looked like a pirate but there was something so alluring and attractive about him.

"Seize him!" I heard my father yell, and I stood up to block the guards from arresting.

"No father, he saved me!" I said, while I spun around to face the blonde haired man and his blue eyes gazing into mine. God was I in love? I couldn't be in love, like with this crazy rogue pirate but my goodness, he was beautiful to look at.

"Is this true?" My father asks the two guards beside them.

"Yes sire, it is true indeed. Captain Hokka indeed save the Lady Elizabeth and he was quite heroic." The two red coated soldiers said, and I was glad that they were able to defend an innocent man to get defended, and not killed for a crime he did not commit.

"Please Captain Hokka you must join us for dinner." My father says and Captain Hokka's blue eyes looked into mine.

"No sire, there is no need for that. I am a lowly pirate who was there at the right place and the right time." He says being humble.

"Then some gold." My father says, seriously father some gold for my life.

"No sire, as much as I would love gold I would never wager that on a person's life. But fine I shall dine with you then." He tells my father.

I was bathing, while the ladies helped me into a white underdress with a burgundy velvet out layered, while my red hair fell around in curls and I put on some shoes. I found myself walking out into the hall, but I saw Captain Hokka's bedroom door was slightly ajar and I peaked in. He was shirtless and I saw a black full sleeve tattoo. God how could someone such as a pirate be so attractive? The stories that i heard as a little girl they were scary and ugly looking.

"Lady Elizabeth, you know it is not nice to spy on people did you know that?" He asks me with a smirk playing his lips. God I wanted to melt in a puddle.

"I b-beg your pardon." I said blushing, while he gets on a white tunic and smiles at me. He stood a couple inches taller than me, but my God his lips were so inviting, and even his facial hair was pretty well taken care off, nothing too wild.

"My lady we shouldn't do this." He whispers, while we stood in front of each other.

"Yes you're totally right Captain Hokka." I said, while stepping away from him and his big hand grips my wrist and spins me to face him.

"It's Joel." He whispers to me, and I nodded. Joel  it was quite a fitting name for him, and it suited him very beautifully.

"Please don't address me as Lady Elizabeth, please address me as Lizzie." I said to Joel and he smiled.

"Well shall we Lizzie?" He asks while extending his arm out to me. My stomach was full of butterflies and he walked us toward the dining hall while he told me of his adventures, I was quite jealous. He got to experience life and I was here stuck in a place with my parents and to be married off like a doll.

"Well I must say Joel you have had some amazing adventures, I long for adventure and a change." I say with a sigh and Joel laughs.

"Well Lizzie me and my crew have plenty of space if you want to explore with me." Joel says with a smirk, God this suggestion makes my cheeks heat up. Joel and my father spoke on the table, but I found myself zoned out because there was a rogue person, sitting on our dining room table. I sighed, I wanted to be free.

Joel was ready to leave with his crew, but I did not want him to go but I knew we had to return to our lives, and I sighed. It was around midnight, I could not sleep so I threw on a black dress and decided to creep outside and I found Joel outside.

"Lizzie why are you out here this late?" He asks me and I said that I couldn't sleep.

"Do you think your crew is coming?" I asked him and he nods.

"Why do you want to come? Because they're right!" He says pointing to the horizon and I nodded, he grips my waist and pulls me into a kiss. I found myself wrapping my arms around his neck and kissing him also.

"I will be back for you soon! I'll bring you back the most beautiful jewel." Joel whispers in my ear. I bite my lip and was holding him to that promise and he vanished into the night toward his ship.
