Chapter 10

Emma's POV

I was violently pushed up against the main post that was in the centre of the whole ship. I was face first with my back facing everyone. My arms were tied above me head at the wrist causing immense amount of pain and all I could see was the splintering wood of the ship.

I had been slammed against the post so there was definitely bruising on my stomach, which would probably explain the shooting pain.

The back of my neck was sweating with my hair sticking to it as it fell in matter curls on my shoulders and back.

"How about we get this hair out the way, aye darling?" He whispered in my ear as he leaned against me. He stood behind me and slowly moved it from my shoulders, leaving my neck bare. He started trailing wet sloppy kisses down my neck leaving me with the need to vomit.

After he had moved all my hair he stepped away.

"Hand me the flock" he shouted. It wasn't a minute later that I heard the crack of a whip. I heard metal clanging together so I'm assuming there was some sort of fish hook attached to the end of the leather whip.

"I promise you Princess, this will hurt" the captain sneered just moments before the whip was cracked.

The pain was like nothing is felt before. I could feel the blood rushing to my back. The leather whip had been cut into strips, making the beating worse. Each strip all had metal hooks attached to them, easily ripping the tender skin.

"I think, for threatening and assaulting a captain, fifty flocks should be a suitable punishment.

My eyes bulged. 50 beatings? I could barely stand the one.

So, over and over again I was hit with the vicious weapon. Each one grabbing my skin and pulling it open. Each beating getting worse than the one before. I could feel the blood pouring from my open wounds and through the torn material of the corseted dress.

And crack after crack I kept true to my vow and allowed not a single tear to fall despite the tremendous amount of pain consuming me.

Eventually the beatings became so painful my body became numb to it all. I tuned out to everything inflicted on me.

And for a moment, I thought it was all a dream. That this had been a figment of my imagination. And I was at home in Storybrooke on my couch with Killian and Henry, we were watching a movie and me and Henry were laughing at how Killian is still confused by the television.

So I hardly noticed when my wrists were being untied. I didn't realise how numb my body had gone until my legs could no longer hold up my body and I fell to the floor of the ship.

"Take her to my quarters" the captain sneered before his first mate picked up my body once again and threw me over his shoulder. I didn't resist at all and allowed myself to be flung around like a rag doll.

The blood was still gushing from the open cuts that spread across my whole back, I had already lost a lot of blood and I wasn't sure how much more I could loose before I'm done for.

Although, I don't think this pirate would let me die. He wants his ransom before he kills me.

I know for sure that not all pirates are like Killian. Even when he was Captain Hook, he still followed a code. He still had a conscience. He still had morals. I have a feeling that this pirate captain has no morals at all.

I was pulled from my thoughts when I was slammed on to the lumpy bed on my back. Pain exploded throughout my body, my back being the most painful area of it all. It's like my wounds were pounding. I clenched my face and clamped my eyes shut in pain. I let out a small whimper but nothing else.

Soon the burly man stormed away and left the room. He slammed the door shut and locked it before walking away and laughing to himself.

I had to get out of here.
