kidnapped by the pirate

CH9

Erica's POV
Two weeks. I've been lying in bed for two weeks, drifting between sleep to daydreams to wondering why? why'd he carve that on me? Smee would come in twice a day with food but I don't feel like eating. The captain came in for the first time in those two weeks,

"what the hell Erica?Smee tells me you haven't been eating at all!" He yelled at me and snatched a plate of mashed potatoes, peas and beef and sat down beside me, holding a forkful near my lips, "I don't do aeroplanes, so just open up" he said, I kept my mouth shut and shook my head.he paused and thought for a minute. "If you don't then I'll mark you private property" he threatened. No!no! I'd do anything for that not to happen! I opened up,reluctantly.he put the food in, he continued feeding me until the plate was empty. "Tonight. Main deck.you're going to have dinner with me." He said, getting up. "Why?I can't, I just can't!" Erica exclaimed. "You will.or suffer the consequences of denying an order from me" he said.I pathetically caved in. "Yes captain" I said. He smirked. "Good girl" he grinned, "Smee will come with your outfit" he called behind him while he left.

Erica took a shower and washed her hair in a bathroom. And washed her hair. She stepped out wrapped in the captain's bathrobe,she was going to her room when she ran into Hook, "hurry up lass" he said and patted her bare shoulder and ran past.Erica gently touched her shoulder where his hand was. She looked at the dress Smee had kept for her, it was a knee length dress pale green with a puffed skirt and dusted in silver.with a heart neckline and spaghetti straps, the straps and neckline were lined in golden. She left her hair loose,Smee came back.he knocked. "Princess?" He asked. Erica sat up from the stool where she was brushing her hair, "yes?" He held up a pair of sliver ballet flats. "Your footwear" he said.Erica smiled "thank you"."and you're to be above deck by now" he said and left her,Erica hurriedly put on the flats, she went above deck,

hook was on a table by the railing, Erica went to him, "you look amazing" he said, Erica blushed, "so do you" she said.he was in a black tux. She sat down next to him,Smee came with two plates of spaghetti and meatballs. "I expect to see you finish every last bite" he said and put a fork in her hand, Erica took a bite, it was amazing,she continued eating, hook stared at her. He raised an eyebrow. "You seem to be enjoying it" he commented. Erica nodded,she put her fork down to scoop more only to realize it was finished. So was hook. "Um,captain?" He looked at her, "Aye?" . she took a deep breath. "What did you reply to my parents?" Erica asked. Hook leaned back. "I told them that they can have their precious daughter back" Erica's face lit up, hook almost regretted his next words, "when I'm through with her.only and only when I'm done" He said. Erica leaned back in her seat. Tears stinging her eyes,threatening to spill. She got up and looked out to sea, the moon cast a shine on the ripples, Erica let them flow, "I'll let you go.I promise," Erica nodded,

Hook's POV

She abruptly got up and went to look out to sea, She's probably upset that I told her she can't go yet.but I have to be honest with her.she's old enough to understand. I joined her there, I took a deep breath, here goes. "Shall we dance?" She looked dumbfounded. "Yes.but where's the music?"
