The Love of a pirate is stronger than steal. (Chat noir x pirate reader)

Chapter 26

Your P.O.V

Waking from sleep I could feel my wrists bound above my head and my feet were bound together as well. Pretending to be unconscious I listened to my surroundings noticing no sound of crashing waves or the old wood creaking underfoot, however, I did hear voices I don't recognise talking about prices. I rushed to open my eyes to see what they would be selling and that the price was something only a king or an infamous pirate could pay for. 

My frantic looking turned to the horror of the king I stole my love from, looking into the cell adjacent to my own. I wriggled about seeing how well my captives tied the ropes which unfortunately they did but I did discover they didn't find a small knife I had in my boot. The real question now is how to get out of this without endangering my love for I still haven't recovered all my strength yet from giving the remaining years of Cleo to Futures love and returning his body to its former glory. Biting harshly into my lip I knew that this will end in a blood bath and my sweet treasure couldn't kill even if his own life was on the edge of death, soon a solution popped into my mind it wasn't going to be easy since I'll be folding myself in half just reach my shoe that I'll need to pull off without dropping the blade, and hopefully this will give me enough wiggle room for my legs to slip out of their bindings. 

Having a lot to lose I do what I planned which thankfully worked in a nick of time for I could hear the jailer come by, with the keys smacking against his leg while he whistled an old tune. Taking in a breath I hid next to the jail wall, so I can grab the keys from his belt but what shocked me was that he causally opened the jail door yet having to realise I was loose and behind him. Not wasting this rare opportunity I kicked the back of his head hard enough that he fell to the ground knocked out cold, I grabbed the keys and gagged the man with the rope around my feet and tied him to where I was previously not wanting to shed blood just yet. I left my cell and closed the door, locking the unconscious man inside for one can never be too careful when escaping slave traders of the French or English.  I swiftly unlocked my treasure's cell and released him from his binds, he was alright from the glimpse I took over his appearance but how he was still asleep concerned me greatly. Escape would be harder if I need to carry him out, especially if we were to run into any of the captors or even the king himself cause that will cause quite a lot of problems since he was known for his brutality when fighting and his actions would be considered that to a monster. 

Thinking fast I grabbed a vile of rotten flesh that I keep with me to lure predators if I'm ever out hunting and placed it under his nose. He quickly sat up gagging from the odour glad to see that he was awake I quickly grabbed his arm and started to drag him out of the cell looking down both hallways trying to figure out what way to go but hearing footsteps approaching from where the jailer first entered. I quickly dragged my love down the other end of the hallway running left and right whenever the path splits I saw a window and quickly looked out seeing that we were in a jungle most likely somewhere in South America based on the flora from what I could see.

I then looked down to determine how high a drop it would be from where we are and how hurt we will be when we do reach the bottom. Not wanting to take the risk I just continued running down our current hallway I soon heard voices coming in our direction, seeing a door to our left I opened up the door and rushed in pulling Adrien behind me. Letting out a sigh I turn to my love only to see fear in his eyes while his trying to control his breathing, "Where are we?" he tried to whisper while trying to control his breathing. 

"We have been taken to shore by people who know the king," I responded looking around the room for anything to use.  

"Is it because the king is out to kill me?" Adrien said, with sadness laced in his voice. The same sadness whenever he was harsh on himself for causing trouble for others.

"Yes, but  I won't let him harm a single hair on your head while I'm still breathing," I responded while gripping my cutlass and pistols the were thrown in an empty box in the corner and fastening them back on my belt. 

"I don't wish for you to die over me, I love you too much to let you do that," Adrien said, as he hugged me from behind me tightly shaking slightly from what I wasn't sure, but I had a really good guess as to why. 

"I love you as well my darling and death will never keep me from you," I whispered back, turning around and kissing his cheek gently easing his nerves as well as my own knowing full well I will out live my dear treasure. 

"Alright so what's the plan," Adrien spoke, giving a smile that gives me more motivation to get out of this retched place and back to my ship, so I can return to the safety of my island that always moves and is never found unless you know where to look.

"The plan is simple grab a sword, follow closely and quietly, and if we come a cross anyone don't hesitate to strike and ask questions later," I said, smirking at my sweet treasure with a dangerous glint in my eye.
