Forever Changed By You

Chapter 1: Pirates

Marigold's POV: After about a fourth of a day's ride, I made it to my favorite riding spot in all of the enchanted forest. The beautiful Dolphin's Cove bay. It was one of my favorite activities to ride along the shore and view the countless amount of dolphins playing amongst the waves. However today, I noticed something new. A ship was anchored right in the center of the bay, which I found odd, because everyone in this realm knows that it is not proper to anchor a boat so close to the abundant sea life. As I rode closer, I saw the ship's flag, and knew what I had to do. They were pirates, they carried a black skull flag on a pirate ship named the Black Pearl. I have heard stories about this ship and the captain that sails this vessel. Now, being the daughter of the courageous Prince Charming, only one rash idea came to mind. I had to raid them, before they raided us.

Once I had safely tied my horse comfortably to the nearest tree, I made my way across the sand and to a small fishing boat left in the cove for anyone's nearest convenience. I rode swiftly across the water to where the giant ship stood tall.

I thought of how my brother-in-law Killian Hook would be proud of my bold actions that I would soon be taking upon these nasty pirates, as I climbed over the side of the ship. I landed on the deck with a light thud, and within seconds had taken out 3 of the guards on the ship using a knock out spell taught to me by my magic instructor, Regina, the evil queen. It wasn't long before the chuckling cruel captain strode towards me with an evil grin plastered upon his face. I knew his face well, for he was wanted in many realms, for his treachery in almost every realm. I pulled my sword out ready to fight if need be, but as I held the sword up to his neck he just chuckled, which took me aback. "Give it a try. Come on princess, try and kill me." I knew I probably looked as confused as ever but I still held firm. "Why?" I asked steadily yet curiously. "Because, I can't die." He said in the coolest yet cruel voice I had ever heard. "Ah, yes. That pesky little curse you and your crew are under, how is that going for you Mr. Barbossa?" I said with a sneer. He looked back at me in complete shock. "It's Captain...and How did you..." he started, but I finished, "Know? Well if I am to rule, I have to understand who I'm dealing with now don't I?" His questionable expression turned into a rotten toothed grin, which sent me into a state of unease. "Do you know what I came here in search for dear princess?" He asked out of nowhere. "No..." I answered unsure. "You." He said, and soon I felt two muscular arms around my shoulders, a pressured sting on the back of my head, and then everything went black.
