"LEAVE HER ALONE!"
I whipped around, turning my back on Belle. A uniformed man was attempting to rip Isla out of Irina's shaking hands.
"WHERE'S SETH? I WANT SETH HERE!" screamed Irina, making a last ditch attempt to get a good grip on Isla, who was crying.
"LET HER GO!" I roared, stepping towards her but someone grabbed me from behind.
"Give me back my baby," begged Irina, sinking to the floor as someone pushed her away from Isla.
"No," said a blank-faced man bluntly. Irina wailed as they turned a pistol on Isla.
"What are you doing, she's just a baby?!" I struggled against the person holding me back, kicking him in the shins.
"A baby that needs to be taken care of," said Annabelle smoothly, walking forwards and taking the pistol. "One less pirate."
She aimed at Isla, only I noticed the slight tremor in her hand or the fact that Irina was edging slowly towards her child.
"She's Seth's daughter Belle," I whispered. Bell's hand steadied. She took a deep breath and pulled the trigger.
"NOOOOOOOOO!" I heard Irina scream. I shut my eyes tight, trying to pretend it was a bad dream to shut out the world. But no one could shut out a baby's cry. The person holding me let go.
I opened my eyes. Isla was laid on the floor, wriggling over to the lifeless form of Irina. A trickle of blood ran down her face. Annabelle and the men had gone.
