The Pirate and the Princess

Chapter 3

Lucy couldn't believe the events that just happened: one, she just got kidnapped by the worlds most destructive pirate; two, she is finally able to do the thing she has only dreamed of. She laid awake in the captain chambers, not being able to sleep because she did not trust him. Quietly maneuvering to the door, she tried her best not to wake the snoring captain. When she gets to the door, she looks back, just in case he did wake up and tried to stop her progress. She took a deep breath and hushed the creaking door. Her stained golden laced red dress dragged across the rough oak flooring. She took baby steps out of the cabin, hoping not to come across any of his pirates. Her balance is swayed due to the rocking of the ship. The waves crashing on the sides of the ship, the sea mist hitting her face. She silently closed the captains door, and sighed in relief. A smile dresses across her face, she turns around and head to the edge of the ship. With the light of the full moon lighting her way across the oak wood flooring.

Running to the edge she peers into the sea, the stars reflecting off of the sparkling water. She looks over at the deck and everyone seems to be sleeping. She grabs the nearest rope and hangs off of the ship. Feeling the breeze flow through her hair. She takes the pin that holds her hair up out, her hair down and taking flight in the wind. She feels free, the most free she has ever felt in her life. Smiling she swings back and forth.

"What do you think your doing," A short blue haired girl asks, annoyed. Her blue hair moved to the right side of her head, a red head band tied in the back. Her cream colored shirt showed her belly. The black cloth tied to the left, covering the rim of her brown pant, with her black boots. Making her way out of the shadows of the ship and into the moon light. crossing her arms over her chest.

Lucy quickly gets down from where she is, brushing off any dirt she may have gotten on her dress. She looks at the slightly irritated girl, speechless. "W-well, I was just-"

"Save it," The girl cuts her off, walking closer to her. Lucy fears that she might possibly harm her. "Hi, I'm Levy." She says, extending her hand to shake Lucy's. Lucy was hesitant to shake it at first, then nervously took it.

"H-hi, I'm Lucy." She replies, quickly with drawing her hand. Levy looks Lucy over, eyeing her down like a vulture eyeing his prey.

Levy makes a friendly smiles, "I'm sorry if I startled you earlier. I have to maintain a tough appearance around here, most of the pirates on here are all male. Its me, Cana, Mira, Juvia and the first mate Erza. In all honesty, it's nice to have another female aboard." Lucy's tension towards the girl seems to have lighten up, she seems friendly enough.

"Well, I would not say that I am a fellow pirate." Lucy began, he sweet voice flowing out of her mouth with the wind. "I am just a mere prisoner on this ship. In addition to that, I know nothing about Piracy. The only thing I am aware of is what. . ." she pauses, not wanting to say the title. "M-my Fiance has told me about them." Trying hard not to reject the little food that is in her stomach.

Levy continues to enter the radiance of the moon light showing her short stature. Lucy looks at her hazel eyes, the liner over her eyes made her eyes stand out, making it her most favored attraction. Levy walks over next to Lucy, her forearms resting on the edge of the ship. Letting the sea breeze brush across her face. Her gaze locks with the far side of the crystal ocean. "It doesn't sound like you are fond of this Fiance of yours."

Lucy adopts the same position as the blue haired girl. She sighs, can't help the feeling at the pit of her stomach; disgust. "In true, I am not fond of him at all. Unfortunately, it is what my father requested, so I am responsible for up keeping his request. He is my father after all."

Levy's head slightly sags, no one should ever do what they do not want to do. "So why don't you just become a pirate. You know, like me." She says in the sweetest voice, resembling to an innocent little girl. Kind and caring, foreign to what the world truly is.
