-Victoria-

The ship that I was on wasn't the greatest idea for a women the sailers saw me as a just some girl, but if didn't end well when I hurt their arms and that ended with me getting in trouble from the captain for interfering with the crew. And right now I was below deck in my cabin that the captain insisted on me staying in, because of the crew members.

The ocean was crashing against the ship, making it seem loud outside but the ocean was quiet. Then there was a knock on the door, making me look towards it as one of the sailors with a gown and shoes in his hands.

"Hello there I'm Alex...the captain ask me to tell you he's invited you to dinner with him and he ask me to bring ya these." Alex said to me putting them on the bed.

"Thank you tell him I'll attend." I told him making him nod.

"Just....err...go to the captain cabin after you get into them. The captain doesn't want to have a Thief leader in her uniform with him for dinner." I laughed and nodded. Alex nodded before turning around then walked out of the room closing the door with him. Of course the captain would be scared of me of an eighteen years old thief.  I sighed getting up from my chair and walking over to my bed and looking at they gown and shoes. They were beautiful I haven't had time to ever wear something like this. I sighed before pulling off my armour and my under clothes for it and placed it neatly on the bed next to the gown and shoes. I looked at the dress one more time before picking up the shoes and moving them off the gown and putting them at the side. I grabbed the dress and placed it above my head before gently pulling in down over my head.

Then when I felt the dress fall below my legs I sighed it was real tight but I guess that's how they are. I couldn't see what I looked like, but it felt weird to wear a gown but it felt nice. I looked over at the shoes and grabbed them and sat down onto the bed and placed them on my feet. I don't think I like wearing these types of shoes. But that's what my mother always wore and she always taught me to act and dress like a lady. But I never got a chance too. I sighed before getting up from the bed and walking towards the door, I grabbed the handle and pulled the door towards me, I could hear the men talking, laughing and shouting. I just shook my head and started walking towards the captain's bay.

When I got to the door I knocked on it and waited until someone said to come inside. Then the door opened and the captain had his captain uniform on with his white shirt, he had three buttons down and you could see his chest and chest hair.

"I'm glad Alex told me you were coming." The captain told me looking down at me. He opened the door further letting me in. I walked in and saw the table full with food and wine, making my stomach rumble. I heard the door close and then I felt a hand on my shoulder making me flinch.

"Shall we?" He ask me and started to push me towards the table. He then stopped me and pulled the chair out and grabbed my arm gently and placed me on the chair. I didn't like it he was too comfortable around me right now. He then sat on the chair next to me which was at the top of the table and me being at the corner part next to him.

"May I say you look beautiful in that gown." He smirked at me making me look at him in disgust. He grabbed some bread and placed it on the plate in front of me, and then grabbed a apple placing it on also and then just filled my plate with other types of food, and he done the same with his plate. But filling it up with more.

"I'm glad you could come to dinner. It's our last night before we dock in Italy in the morning." He said grabbed the wine and grabbed his glass and started to fill it up till the rim. And he put down the wine and took a drink of his wine. I looked at his wine glass and I realised he had scars on his hands and he had a symbol on his hand. I was about to grabbed the knife next to me but then he stopped drinking and look at me. He grabbed my hand making me look at him, he got close to me so that his mouth was next to my ear and neck. My breathing started to get heavy.

"I can show you more than that arsehole." He whispered into my ear then kissing below my ear. I grabbed the knife and pointed it against his neck making him stop kissing me.

"I guess not then." I pushed him up off his chair making him stand up and I stood up from mine and kept the knife to his throat.

"Don't you ever touch me again Jacob." I pulled the knife away from him and pushed him away from me. And pulled his hat off making his long hair fall down.

"I'm sorry a'right I'm just kidding." Jacob started laughing, I put the knife down back on the table.

"Your not funny don't touch me like that again." I told him seriously. He stopped laughing, and walked over to me and sat back down on his desk that was in front of the window view of the ocean.

"I have to act Victoria, I'm a captain of this shit ship." Jacob told me punching the desk he sat on.

"What's with your hand?" I asked him pointing to his hand he looked at my hand.

"Tried burning it, it's painful but I've almost got it." He looked at his hand. The symbol was still there but faded out and burn marks on parts of it.

"So how my brother?" Jacob asked me.

"Arthur is fine...him and Liz are having a child." His face lit up.

"That's my baby brother-"

"It's not his...Liz was raped by one of Scar's followers."

"Sick bastard I'm gonna kill that bastard who did this." He hit the table harder.

"Don't worry Arthur has taken' care of it."

"That's my brother, always protecting his lady's." Jacob said smiling a bit.

"Arthur will treat the child as if the child was his." I told Jacob making him nod in agreement.

"I'm glad Arthur still alive I thought he would've stopped being a thief and become a...a working man." Jacob said to me.

"When he sent me a letter telling me your traveling to Italy and you wanted to travel on this ship. I was happy he finally decided to write to me after so many years of being apart from each other as brothers."

"Jacob Arthur wanted to write to you it's just he didn't know when the right time was." I told him, and it was true Arthur tried for years but never had a good chance too.

"Which... I think you should head back to your cabin, cause the boys get a bit aggressive at night if your alone." Jacob told me and started to walk me towards the door. He opened the door and we both started walking towards my cabin. When we got there I opened the door and walked in. I turned around to look at Jacob.

"I'll send word to Arthur that your Italy tomorrow when we dock... And Victoria please be careful." I nodded.

"I'll be fine." We said our goodbyes and Jacob walked away from the cabin and I closed the door, I sighed.

"I hope." I said to myself. Italy here I come. I hope Arthur and Liz are fine.
