The Chase

I'll Try For You

"That sounds ghastly!" Liam said as his facial features filled with hate, disgust, and sadness. Alice began to stop crying and nodded her head. "That's why I can't help Kirkland. I know he is trying to give me a free pass off this ship but, I can't face my cousin!" Liam slowly stood up and smiled down at Alice. " I'll explain. I'm sure he'll understand." With that Liam walked out of the room leaving Alice alone.

Author's POV:

"So that's why." Arthur sat back in his chair and sighed. "Captain sir, please don't make Alice relive her past." Liam pleaded as his eyes began to feel with tears.

"I won't bring her along." Arthur said firmly as he stood up. "I'll go in her place and make them pay!" He slammed his hand on his desk. Liam jumped in surprise. "W-what do you mean?" Liam asked nervous. He was holding his chest and shaking. Arthur's rage is something the entire crew has seen but, it never has ever been like this.

Arthur sent Liam away began making plans to set sail for Indian ocean.

Arthur's POV:

After Liam left, I sat back in my chair and replayed our conversation. What did I say?! Why would I ever avenge that woman?! I won't admit it to my crew but, I can't stand to see a lady treated like some animal.

Alice's face flashed into my mind. The deal I made with her. She refused to help me get the Emerald Dragon and I told her she now has to be my slave. I can't go back on my word but, at the same time I'm just like those foul monsters. What should I do?

Then it came to me. I'll just comand Alice to do simple chores around the ship. It will help to ease my guilty conscious. I'll just treat her like any other crew member! While she's busy I can gather information on the BTT.

I walked out of my cabin and yelled for Liam. He looked up from cleaning and said, "Sir?" I smirked. "Set sail for the Indian Ocean and bring miss Boulshire to my cabin!"

*Time Skips brought to you by food, yum,yum,yum,yuuuummm*

Alice's POV:

Liam knocked on my door gently and slowly poked his head in. "Miss Alice the captain would like to see you." I got up and nodded. I walked over to him almost like I was undead. I grabbed him into a tight embrace.

"Liam thank you. For earlier and for now. I know what Kirkland has in mind." I whispered to him and let go.

I walked out the door and straight to the Captain's cabin. I slowly knock and gathered my pride. Deep breaths Alice deep breaths.

"Come in." I heard from the other side of the door. I opened the door and sat down on one of the chairs near his desk. He turned round with a giant grin plastered on his face. "Hello Miss Boulshire. I've heard of your tragic past and I have come up with a solution."

I slightly smiled. A nervous feeling crept in my stomach. I was off guard and would probably act like a little girl. I'm always a head strong person but, right now I can't shake my nervous off.

"I will have you sweep the deck. Then you can mop it. After you are done with that you can come back in here to dust off my things." Arthur said as he walked around the room. He seemed very relaxed and in a "I don't really care mood."

Liam told him my story right? What am I thinking. He probably doesn't even care. I bet he laughed and got a real kick out of it. What a complete disgusting pig!

Arthur could obviously tell I was piss- ed because his facial expression changed. "Listen Alice, you did this to yourself. I refuse to be blamed for your misfortune. I also understand that you were almost raped as a young girl. I'm sorry for you but, you refused to help me so this is what you get!" He turned his back on me. I'm glad he did. My face was feeled with surprise and hatred. How did he know what I was thinking? It doesn't matter. He is probably use to this look being the pervert he is.

"Miss Boulshire go and do your assignments! You better clean this ship so well it sparkles! Now leave!"

I did what I was told. I left but, not without slamming the door as loudly as possible. I'm a fearsome pirate Captain! I shouldn't be treated like some servant! But then again I did bring this on myself. I sighed and picked up a broom.

Arthur's POV:

I talked privately with Liam about the location of our target. "Sir are you sure? What about Alice?" I shook my head. "Liam we have to! I can't just sit here forever! I know you want to protect her but, I have to get the Emerald Dragon!"

Liam stood there for a moment in silence and nodded. "Alright I'll ask her. If she doesn't want to we can't force her." I felt my blood boil with rage. "Yes we can! She made a deal with me! So she has to do what I say!"

Liam backed away in fear. He didn't look up. He just nodded his head.

"Liam you may return to the helm." I waved him off and started to map out our route. He turned to walk away but said, " She doesn't remember the past and not some jewel will jog her memory." He ran out. I sat back in my chair.

"I know that Liam. She won't ever love me again. Not like she did in the past. But I have to try. So that's why Alice, I'll try for you."
