Sweet Danger {Henry Turner}

>The Battle<

Hailee's fighting outfit <3

"Lilah, behind deck. now!" Hailee yelled. Lilah scampered in quickly, knowing not to fight Hailee at this time. However one of the sailors ran after her sword raised. Hailee unsheathed a small dagger she had strapped to her thing and flung it, lodging it in the sailor's back as he fell with a scream and a thud. "don't touch my sister, mate" She growled to the dead pirate as she freed her dagger and tied it back to her thigh. After Hailee's actions it only angered the crew more as they began running towards Hailee, only to have the Turners separate them from her and were stuck fighting the Turners.

The Turners were skilled fighters, although so were the crew of former Captain Milton. The only difference was the family looked out for each other, while the crew fought for themselves alone, even going as far as using a companion as a body shield. Hailee fought well as well, and in their free time the Turners noticed and were proud of the small but feisty blonde. They'd also never seen her so angry. Not only was she angered that they'd beaten Henry, but that this crew had participated in the killing of her parents. She would not let that go as she plowed through them one-by-one.

"Henry!" Hailee yelled as she saw one of the crewmembers running towards the stairs, hoping to jump and land a perfect killing blow on Henry, only to be stopped by Hailee, who braced herself and shielded herself between Henry and the pirate's sword with her own sword. Noting his significant strength difference, Hailee gritted her teeth against the pressure before kicking his shin, causing him to double over just enough for her to knee him in the face, breaking his nose, before she plunged a dagger in his side. She turned to meet Henry's awestruck grin. "focus, love" She said with a small smirk as she swiped another pirate with a sword. 

Pretty soon Hailee was separated from Henry and stuck fighting two pirates on her own, while she was managing well, she stabbed one with her sword, giving her some time to mentally check if everyone was still alright, she noticed Will had a puncture wound in his arm, but seemed alright, Elizabeth had a cut over her right eye, Henry's back was still raw but otherwise he was unscathed and Bootstrap only had a split lip. 

It all happened so fast, one minute, Hailee was on top of all her fighting, she barely heard Henry yelling her name, or Will, she didn't even see Elizabeth and Bootstrap's horrified looks. She only felt a stabbing pain in her side, where a dagger had been stabbed and then yanked back out. Hailee gasped raggedly as she clutched her side out of instinct and landed on one knee. However, before going down, She ripped her dagger from her thigh and flung it aimlessly, praying it lodged into her assailant.

Suddenly the fight stopped. At the scream of their first mate the crew stopped fighting as they watched in horror as their first mate fell, dead. "It's over!" Will yelled "surrender now, before you all perish" He yelled as he watched Henry run straight to Hailee's side. The crew soon screamed and all ran to their ship, sailing away as fast as they could. The Turners all ran to Hailee's side, who lay gasping, a pool of warm blood pooling from her side. "Hailee" Henry yelled as he crouched beside her. "Hailee, love, open your eyes, please love" Henry begged as he held her in his arms. 

Hailee coughed "H-Henry?" She choked "Is it over?" She asked dazed, her hand covered in blood as it lazily draped over her side. "It's over Hailee, you fought beautifully" Will said with a pained look. "Hailee, open your eyes and for Heavens sake don't stop breathing" Henry said as he scooped her up bridle style and carried her to the cabin, while Elizabeth gathered supplies.

Henry laid her gently on the bed as she gasped and winced, doubling over with the pain "Sorry" Henry murmured softly as he gently pushed her back down. "Henry, your going to have to leave" Elizabeth said gently. "no! I can't leave her, look at her" Henry said exasperated as he gestured to a barely conscious Hailee. "Henry-" Elizabeth started before Hailee cut her off. "go, i'll be fine" Hailee rasped weakly "I'm not giving up Henry" She coughed as blood trickled out her mouth "I have to live, i can't leave Lilah..." She thought for a moment "and i'd like to see how far you and me can go before we drive each other mad" She attempted humor but her pain made it not amusing.

Will and Bootstrap ushered a distressed Henry and helped him clean his raw back. Henry flinched every time, not at the pain of his lashes, but at Hailee's raw screams. After an hour Elizabeth came in pale and tired, but a relieved look on her face "She'll live, with a nasty scar that she'll hate, but she'll live" She said as all 3 turner men sighed relieved. Meanwhile Elizabeth helped Henry get dressed and wrapped his back to protect the lashes from getting infected.

A few hours later most of the ship was in Hailee's room. Only Will reluctantly had to guide the ship, with the constant reassurance that they'd come to him when she woke up. He'd grown fond of the girl, and thought of her as a daughter. Meanwhile, Henry sat on the floor with his head on the foot of her bed, asleep from exhaustion. Bootstrap rested on a chair on one side of the room, with Lilah asleep on his lap. Elizabeth laid on another chair opposite sides of Bootstrap. 

Hailee moaned softly as she regained cautiousness. her eyes fluttered open as she looked around the room. slowly everything came back to her. She sighed heavily as she closed her eyes. remembering how she'd killed multiple men. but yet having not much shame. She then looked up to see Henry laying at her feet, his hand gently draped over her ankle, as if he needed to hold her in some way "Henry, you got a ankle fetish now?" Hailee croaked, her voice raw from lack of use. Henry jumped up and looked at her "Hailee?" He questioned "I told you I wouldn't give up" She said with a small smile. "Hailee" Henry breathed relieved as he lunged forward and grabbed her in a hug. "Henry! let go, i just got stabbed for heavens sakes" She groaned as he instantly let go.

"good to see your awake" Bootstrap said softly as not to wake the sleeping child on his lap. Hailee smiled softly and nodded "I'll go tell Will" Elizabeth said "And I'll attempt to pry this one off me" Bootstrap joked as the 2 quickly shuffled out. Leaving Henry and Hailee alone.

"I thought I lost you" Henry said as he reached forward and cupped her cheek. Hailee leaned into his touch and sighed happily "you can't loose me that easy, Darlin" She said softly as she kissed Henry's palm gently. Henry smiled as he leaned forward, his hand trailing to cup her face as he leaned in "may I?" He whispered, his lips inches from hers. "mhmm" Hailee hummed as he softly kissed her, their lips melding perfectly. Hailee's hands wanted so bad to hold him back, but she needed the strength to support herself while she sat up to meet him in a more comfortable position. However it caused shooting pain in her freshly stitched side as she whimpered and broke the kiss, clutching her side. "what's wrong? did i hurt you?" Henry panicked as he took his hand away as if he'd been burned. "Henry..Henry!" Hailee finally yelled to get his attention as she grabbed his hand "I'm fine" She cooed to calm him down as she gently kissed his palm. Henry looked at her lovingly and placed a featherlight kiss on her forehead "Is this okay?" He whispered against her forehead "hm it's fine Henry" She reassured him as she gently stroked his neck.

That Night the Turners slept peacefully. Henry had refused to leave Hailee's side and camped out in her room on a chair. only leaving when Elizabeth helped get Lilah dressed, much to her grumbling. None the less Hailee slept much better with Henry's company, As did Henry knowing his love was going to be alright.

tada! apparently I'm pretty good at writing fighting scenes. yay me! I think i put a mature rating on this fanfic. I'm not sure it needs it, but just to be safe. Let me know what you think about the story and if it needs the mature tab. Happy Reading Loves <3
