5- I clearly don't know Jacob

*Merry Pov*

This is so exhausting, I've been trying to find a lawyer everywhere, not in this town, not in the next, I'm starting to lose hope!

No one is willing to take the job...
I think while I hang up a poster on the town's pin board. I think I'll visit one more town and then head back home with Jacob... and Stella!! I forgot... I have two people who got my back!

*Stella Pov*

I feel the hair at the back of my head stand... I look through the window which shows the view to the ship's deck, I see about 5 guys staring at me and Jacob, which disappear when they see I've spotted them.

Oh... I see what this is...
All the warm feelings I had turned to hatred and disgust. I push him with all my strength he tumbles backward and crashes into a near wall.

-"You and your friends think this is funny." I cross my arms and stand tall in front of him.

-"Is this some type of dare, add this girl to your list of victories!" I say walking towards him.

-"ANSWER ME!" I yell at his face.

When he stays there leaning against the wall I notice he looks pale. I grab his arm and shove him out of the room. And slam the door and close all the windows blinds.

I look through the room looking for clothes, I soon find some and I slip through them easily, I found some breeches and a tunic which was way smaller than the one I was wearing, there was also a corset, which I used on top of the tunic.

I walk out of the room to look for those guys, I have my energy back, I have been eating, and I can knock them out, steal this ship and... do whatever I want with them.

I go below the docks and see a few women sitting and chatting.

They all look at me with sly grins and start snickering.

-"What's so funny?" I say impatiently.

-"Looks like Captain Beken has a Lover." One of the women said, and the rest started wooing.

-"What! Me and him... NEVER, he is such a player.

One of the younger-looking Women laughs and walks towards me, she wraps an arm around my neck.

-"You CLEARLY don't know him, he has never in his 21 years of life willingly looked in a lady's direction. Until you!"

-" Yeah and he is always so distant! Once I tried to flirt with him, he didn't even glance at me!" Another one said.

"-Yeah you should consider yourself lucky!"

They all started to say how fortunate I was and that I should be grateful.
But that couldn't be true... what he did... it's unforgivable.

*Jakob Pov*

*Bleghhhh* I feel like I'm going to barf my intestine out. Why am I feeling so sick all of a sudden? Five guys approach me and one of them pats me on the back, "We saw you, Captain, was that your girlfriend?"

I hear them say some more things before their voices fade away, my ears start to ring, my vision starts to blur, and... everyone is spinning I can't stand properly everything...goes black.
