"Princess and the Captain"

Chapter 6

"Ok, Willy!" Shamrock said, hushed. Shamrock a burly man in ripped fabric with a scruffy beard. "We gotta be real quiet.. throw her out the window to Jimbo and he'll run back to the ship." Shamrock told Willy. Bootleg Willy nods, he was a scruffy guy with a peg leg. Shamrock put a hand over the Princess' mouth and scooped her up. Willy grabbed her legs. The Princess awakened, flailing around. The next thing she knew she was getting thrown out her window, giving her a small time period to scream. Instead of using the moment to scream she passed out, falling into the beefy arms of Jimbo. Jackalheart, Primal, and Murder Joe keep watch as Jimbo ran back to the ship.

Soon the lot of pirates made it back with the Princess. "Alright, take her to my cabin. Put her in the good hammock. She'll wake up soon. For now, we are to depart from this port, the quicker, the better." Vaun nodded, walking up the stairs to the helm. He turns the wheel to back the ship out of the port and away they go, setting off to their next stop, Hurbane, the Kingdom of vicious  Law and Order. The pirates took her to the Captain's cabin, placing her in the good hammock. Everyone but Murder Joe left. He stays to keep watch over her. Murder Joe sound like a scary name and you might be scared for the Princess, right? Murder Joe is someone who looks but doesn't act his name. A frightening but soft man needed a scary name to make him a pirate. Murder Joe is really the kindest Pirate onboard, besides Chef Chicken legs. Joe watched the Princess' state, making sure she was still alive and well, as the ship sails down the channel to Hurbane. "Princess?" He asked every now and then, seeing if he could get an answer.

"Princess?" Joe asked, softly. Gisela shot up, falling out of the hammock, grabbing the nearest weapon. The weapon happened to be an empty gun. She aims it at Murder Joe. "Who are you?!" She demanded. "I'm Murder Joe!" He threw his hands up. "WHAT?!" Gisela stumbled to the side. "You can just call me Joe! I don't really like to murder, I just needed a scary name!" He quickly said. The door flew open. Gisela quickly turns to the door and aims the weapon once again. "Woah! Cool it, Princess." The Captain smirked. Gisela's jaw dropped and the pistol fell from her hand. "It was empty anyways, be lucky you're precious cargo." Vaun's smirk turned into a devilish grin. "Take me home, I demand you!" Gisela tried to stay strong. "No can do, sorry. Prince Alan is hellbent on marrying you. I have a quarter of the Garcian palace goods if I get you to him. So sorry Princess, I'm a pirate, not a royal servant." Vaun told her. "YOU, OF ALL PIRATES.. ARE SELLING ME AWAY?!" Gisela exclaimed.

"What do you mean.. 'you, of all pirate' Princess?" Vaun took a step closer to her. She glared at him and spit on his shoe. "I think you know what I mean!" She hissed, pushing past him. "I'm getting off this ship at the next port!" She exclaimed. "Don't think you wanna do this, Princess. The next port is Hurbane! They have a treaty with Garcian. Lord knows what they'd do to you!" Captain Vaun walker after her. The Princess yells out in frustration. "Hey, calm down. This is the BEST possible way this could've happened to you! You're the one who turned down the prince!" Vaun barked out. "I TURNED HIM DOWN BECAUSE I DIDN'T LOVE HIM! I DIDN'T WANT TO MARRY HIM!" Gisela screams. "WELL THEN YOU SHOULD FEEL ENDEARED HE SENT ME TO GET YOU." Vaun argued back. "KIDNAPPING IS NOT A SHOW OF LOVE! ITS A SHOW OF INSANITY!" Gisela shoved Vaun. "So be it! Do you even have a heart?! ARE YOU CAPABLE OF LOVING ANYONE?!" Vaun got up in her face.

"YES! I AM! Because I do love someone.. but they're too conceited to notice!" She screams and storms off the the other side of the ship, huffing, and sitting down. Vaun was taking a lap. He took a deep breath and moved his hand through his stiff gel hair. "Come on.." he grumbled, slugging after her. He sat down behind her. "Look.. I'm sorry." He managed. "Shut up.." the princess sniffled. He had an irritated expression. "Are you crying.." He grumbled lowly. "Look I'm sorry, that was rude of me. I shouldn't have said that. I.." He sighs. "Do you want a hug?" He asked with a monotone voice. "Are you serious?.." Gisela squeaked. "Yes..." Vaun frowned, but, if he wanted to keep her onboard, they'd have to get along. "Yes I want a hug..." she said, quietly. He scoots forward and wrapped his arms around her. It felt.. comforting.. and sweet. He couldn't do it any longer. "Alright, Princess. You should get back to getting some rest. Head back to the cabin and go to sleep.." He broke the moment. "Oh.. ok.." Gisela got up and returned back to the cabin, into the hammock, and to a deep sleep.
