Emma's POV:

Peeking through the window, trying to find the pirate wearing the dark leather. Out of a sudden, a hand found its way on top of my head.

"Now, what's a man like you trying to find the way out here?" Wide eyed, I looked to my left and saw a dark haired man with the bluest of eyes I have ever seen. He was wearing a brown coat with a black vest and leather pants.

Realizing that I was seen sneaking, I quickly took a step back thankful that my cloak is still covering my face. "Who are you?" I asked, convincing myself that my voice was deep enough to be like a man.

"Now where are my manners, I'm the prince of... a wealthy kingdom of the Southern Isles. And you are?"

Contemplating whether to give my real name or not, I settled with the safe option. "Emmanuel..., Emmanuel Swan, just a mere commoner."

As if deciding whether to answer me or not, that man raised his eyebrows and took a step closer.

I scrunched my eyebrows as he smirked and as if a strong wind blew past me, my cloak was suddenly removed. He removed my cloak.

"You're a girl!?" He whispered realizing he made a mistake of calling me a 'guy'.

I saw as he looked at me wide eyed and released a loud laugh. I gritted my teeth together and leaned closer in his ear to whisper "woman".

I raised my right knee and kneed him in his stomach.

'Ooof' He said crouching while holding his stomach to ease the pain. I pushed him on the ground and took it as chance to run.

I headed towards the forest where I knew it will give me a higher chance to get away. Knowing he's a prince, he could mention it to my parents. Once he realizes that I was a princess, he can use it against me or worst mention it to my parents.

Then again, he bowed and respected me, like a gentleman, before I kneed him that is. Maybe meeting him will not be so bad, he's a prince so he might've sneaked out too.

Slowing down my pace, I leaned against a tree to catch my breath. I don't get it. I've been resting for about an hour, but my heart still won't stop beating because of him.

Putting my cloak back on, I convinced myself that 'it's nothing, it's just me panicking about being seen' .

I continued my way through the forest on my way to Aunt Red's Bakery.  I could use some bread and a little water right now.

------------------

When I noticed a smoke coming out from a cabin with the smell of fresh baked bread from the air, I knew I was close.

All of a sudden an arm made its way to my waist and lifted me to a shoulder. The person then decided to suddenly run from the opposite direction. 'No' I thought.

"What..!!?? Who are you?" I demanded breathing heavily as I was being carried like a sack

I took a good look at the man and realized it was the mysterious prince. Now that's he's, well, abducting me I asked out loud "Are you even a prince?"

"I'd bloody keep it quiet if I were you. As you can see, you're not in a place where you can demand order", said he in a deep voice.

"I'm taking that as a big 'no' then." I quipped

He's been running for a while now and even i don't recognize this part of the forest.

Trying hard to look around my surroundings, I caught a glimpse of.. well..trees.., tons of them, still somewhere in the forest. I just hope he knows the way around here or else. Oh gosh, if we got lost, what would my parents will say.

Damn him!

I scowled. "And here I thought you're an actual prince and a gentleman!" I shouted trying to hit his back to slow him down.

"Well come on now...I may not be a prince, but I'm always a gentlemen. And stop shouting especially next to my bloody ears. It's deafening" he complained kneeling down under an Oak tree pulling me down in a sitting position with my knees in my chest.

He reached his right hand in his satchel and took out what looks like an old cloth. Oh no!

"Don't even think ab... " I tried to say but the moment that I did, he put the in my mouth as a gag. The amount of hatred I have for him is unbelievable.

"Quiet down now luv." He whispered as his face comes closer just inches apart with mine. I stared wide eyed as he licked his lip leaning in my ear. "You'll thank me soon", he whispered leaning back looking at me with his deep blue eyes.

He carried me up again, but this time when we passed a path, I looked around and saw that he led me through the forest into the docks.

I scrunched my face in confusion. He's not a prince that's for sure, but what will... Oh no! Oh no! This is bad. This is really bad.

Pirate. He's a pirate.

For all the type of person he can be, it has to be a pirate.

Still carrying me, he led me through ship that I seemed to have come back to. It was the same ship I stole from earlier this morning.

'Does this mean he knows it was me?' I though. 'No, that's impossible, I made sure no one was around. And if there was, my cloak was up to cover my face.' I'm in deep trouble.

---------

He opened the door I stole from and threw me on the mahogany bed. He opened a cupboard and took something only to hide it in one of his pockets.

He turned to me and walked closer. Oh no. I really am thinking of a lot of ways this can go wrong, and being stuck here is not the worst.

He placed his hand into my right leg, the same leg I kneed him with and slowly made its way to my cheeks.

I gulped and saw his hand now sliding over to my left hand, while he leaned it to me. Is it me or is it getting really warm in here.

I heard a loud 'click' and saw my hands are now shackled to the bedpost. Wait, what?

My other hand suffered the same way and was shackled as well.

He saw the confusion on my face and as if he knew what I was going to ask he simply smirked and said "that's to make sure you will never get away from me".

Knowing he won, he moved backwards and left the room, turning the knob of the door to make sure the door was locked.

'What just happened' I asked .
