Chapter four ~ back to the ship

Obsidian's POV

Satisfied with a magnificent, sleeping beauty in my arms, I lift up her legs so I'm holding her like I would my bride.

Looking down at her relaxed sleeping face would make a icy heart melt.

I smile knowing this plan was going right. I hope the rest of the crew are having the same luck.

I quietly close her French doors and climb back over the side of the balcony.

I make my way across the gardens and throw the pink roses.

Suddenly a voice came from nowhere, "hey! you there!" a guard wear blue and white comes running towards me from the other side of the garden.

I laugh darkly as I run throw the maze of hedges. I hear multiply foot following me but it has no affect on me.

I reach the every back of the maze, where Stigg had thrown over rope. I grab onto it and tug three times. of course I never left Stigg to pull me over by himself, I brought Glen and Zan as well. I adjust my hold on the 'gem' before being haled over the hedge.

I get to the top and throw the rope back down to them and jump off, with the beauty still in my arms.

"She's definitely her mothers daughter" Glen comments as he looks down at the glowing girl.

"Aye you can say that again" Zan adds.

"I would but I canny be arsed" Glen replies.

We all have a wee laugh.

"Back to the ship lads before we get caught" I order and start to jog out the unguarded gates, through the sleeping town, back to the ship.

.. Back on the ship ..

"Captain, we got gold"

"Silver, Captain"

Everyone was shouting, laughing, dancing even singing. Mostly everyone trying to get my attention.

"IF I HEAR 'CAPTAIN' ONE MORE TIME I'LL SHOT THE LOT OF YA" I yell over everyone. As people take in what I just said they stop everything, starring at me.

I keep my face motionless and walk with the princess in my arms to my quarters. Everyone watched me walk up the stairs and open the door.

I take one last long look at the crew below me then close the door slowly.

I lock the door and just on cue the ship erupted again with singing and shouting.

I laugh at them, their so wiped.

As if I just remember what I was doing, I look down at the girl in my arms. beautiful brown hair galled like a waterfall over my arm, it reminded me so much of my sisters.

My face fell at the thought of her. I shake my head to get rid of the thoughts.

No, she's in the past and I shall keep it that way.

I look around the around the room to see where I left the key to the safe room.

"Shit" I whisper as if not to wake her. which was stupid after all the shouting that we just walked through.

I place her on the bed as I search for the key.

"Captain they've caught us" Kevin bursts through the door.

"What? how?" I turn in a panic.

"Only god knows, fight or flight?"

Grr! I hate what I'm about to do but I gave my word not to let them get the 'gem' and I can't risk them getting her back.

"Flight" I mumble.

Kevin nods in understanding and shuts the door.

"Fuck!" I run both claw like hands through my hair, scratching my scalp.
