  The blonde captain laughs and looks at Cassandra.  "I'll make you a deal. Come with me and I'll spare them ... or they will all die while you watch." She bites her lip with her eyes towards the wooden floor. "I-I'll...... go with you..." she says as she looks up at him. "NO!!" Romano yells while his brother pulls him back beside him. "Cassandra.. Please no!" Feliciano begs. "...I'm sorry..." she said as the man lets her go. She cautiously walks up to the blond man. The grin on his lips widen. His hand gripping the young girl's arm and with a quick smooth motion place's the gun to her back and the sword on her neck "Move or attack and she'll get it." The coldness in his voice warn the blond's enemies of his seriousness.

Antonio couldn't risk it... If they did anything..  He knew Arthur wouldn't hesitate to end her life.  The ship that held Cassandra captive was no longer in sight. Expressions of fear, anger, and helplessness all written on Antonio's men. He needs to comfort them.. even if he too felt helpless.. 
"Men, we must be strong.." he finally said after minutes have passed. "STRONG!? THOSE BASTARDS TOOK CASSANDRA!! CASSANDRA! DO I HAVE TO SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU!!" Romano yells. The pain in his chest becoming too much for the youngest brother. "B-Brother, please c-calm down." Feliciano pleads as he tries to give him a comforting hug. "FUCK NO!!" Romano yells before biting his bottom lip to hold back the tears that were begging to fall. "SILENCE!!" Antonio commands. " We will get her back but we need a plan. Amigos, give it time." The crew nods with a bit of hesitation. "we must plan and act on it soon.. For now go back to work everyone!!" he orders. Antonio heads back to his room only to notice the broken door. He couldn't  care less. All the emotions he held back finally explodes . With one kick, the emotional captain sent his chair to the wall. "lo siento.. Cassandra.." He mumbles to himself as tears ran down his face. His hat shielding his face from anyone who dares to confront the captain at this very moment.

Cassandra did as she was told. Follow the captain and his crew into the ship. Once they escape the area, Arthur place the gun back to his holster along with this sword. His hand returned back to her arm which cause the girl to jump a bit. She stood next to the captain with all eyes on her. The feeling slowly choking the air out of her. The young girl's eyes befriend the floor. "Alfred! Take this brat to the prison" Arthur said snapping her back to reality. His hand releasing her arm. A dirty blonde man with glasses stood in front of her. He gently takes the rope that was still around her hands and pulls her along with him. "Follow me!" The man said in a more mannered way. She didn't respond to him but did what she was told. He guides her near the bottom part of the ship to a room that reeks of decay. The young man gently removed the rope around her hands before she could protest about the awful smell. She was gently pushed and locked in. Her mind finally registering her new reality. "Hey! What the Hell!" Cassandra grips the metal bars that held her in. "Sorry.. I was ordered to keep you here and have my eye on you.." He said apologetically. She glares at him with no response and sits on the ground with her hands across her chest. It felt like years have pass with no words coming out from the both of them. Maybe it was for the bes- "I'm Alfred!" The young man said with a smile on his face. "What's your name?" He adds hoping to break the ice. After a minute of silence, that hope Alfred had starts to fade.   The brunette's chocolate eyes observing the expression on his face. ".......Cassandra.." she said softly making him smile wide. "Oh! here you go!" He said giving her an apple from his pocket . Cassandra shook her head as Alfred frowned at her response. "Come on! You must eat something! Arthur usually doesn't feed his prisoners." he said as he gave her a puppy eyes look. "Arthur?" she questioned. The grumbles from her stomach forced her to give in. She grabs the apple gently and cautiously takes a big bite.

Alfred nodded "Arthur The Terrible" her eyes widen. His response nearly made her choke on her apple. She couldn't believe she had forgotten about him. Antonio had a strong hate for him. No wonder the blonde captain look so familiar.. She have only heard stories of his cruelty. He was known and feared by many all over the world. He is the most wanted man in many other countries that included her motherland. Cassandra ate the apple as Alfred spoke for a few hours about his adventures with the crew. Alfred wasn't a bad guy.. She's surprise he's even a pirate. "Is Arthur really that bad?" she asked suddenly silencing him. "Well he has his moments." he replies seeing her calm down a bit, "You're actually really cool! I can see why your crew didn't want you to leave." he chuckled noticing he accidentally hit a soft spot. "sorry" he said to her rubbing the back of his neck. "Don't worry about it, what's done is done." She fakes a smile but it drops once her eyes catches Arthur enter the room. "Alfred leave us alone." He said to him coldly sending chills down Alfred's spine. He nods slowly then walks away but flashes her a soft smile before leaving. "How are you feeling?" he asked her but received no answer. Cassandra's eyes payed more attention to the ground than him. The angry in his expression returning on his face. Suddenly her chin was roughly lifted up to meet his eyes causing her yelp. Still.. she refuse look him in the eyes. 
"Look at me while I speak to you."
