A Pirate's Life For Me

Chapter 1: An Eventful Meeting with a Pirate

I heard the men speaking in a foreign tongue of which I did not understand as I was slung on board a dock were I was held captive. I was too nervous to speak let along move. They each stole glances at me one by one until one finally pulled down the rag from my mouth. He tried talking to me but I had no idea what he was saying. His expression grew angrier by every passing moment. 

They dragged me inside a cottage that was empty. The man looked at me with unwavering cold eyes. He smirked and began undoing the top button of my nightgown. 

"Stop!" I screamed until the rag was placed in my mouth again. He removed my jewels and gown leaving me in only my underwear. My body shook in the col night air coming through the window. Tears rolled down my cheeks. No only was I going to be raped, I was probably going to be killed too. 

The other men watched as he unclipped my bra from the back. The next thing I knew, a man walked in, eye patch over his left eye. 

"Excuse me for interrupting." the man said about to walk out. I let out a frantic noise as best I could. Before the man could rip my bra off, the man with the eye patch grabbed his hand and took him to the side to talk with him. He spoke in the same tongue. The only word I was able to understand was "price." The assassin glanced at me and shook his head. What were they doing?

The eye patch man came closer and was about ready to touch my face. I could see his ocean blue eyes clearly. the assassin pointed a sword at the man's neck. The other men backed him up. 

The blue eyed man threw his hands up almost in defeat and walked closer to the door. Right before I had almost given  up hope, a dozen men busted through the door. You can imagine how cramped it was now in this cottage. The placed quickly turned into a bloody massacre. His men wiped out every single assassin except the one who almost took advantage of me. 

Believe me, i didn't trust this eye patch guy but according to the situation I was in, a choice wasn't an option. 

The one assassin fled out the window as I tried keeping my bra on. The man stood in front of me and twirled his finger. Did he want me to turn around? I did as he motioned and he fixed the clasp on my bra. However, he did not untie me. He slung my dress at me and threw it over my head. His men jerked me outside and we followed behind him. 

I looked back at the castle before boarding onto the ship. Wait...ships, eye patches, a crew... great. Now i'm dealing with pirates. 

I was shoved into the captains room and the door was locked behind me. I looked at the man with the eye patch who seemed to be the captain. 

"T-Thank you. Can you u-understand me?" I asked still shivering. He tilted his head. 

"of coarse I speak English you idiot." He responded sitting in the chair in front of me. 

"Please let me go. I'm actually-" I began to say but my sentence was then finished.

"I know who you are princess Lorena Rosalie Pierce." the man said. 

"My kingdom needs me...please." I begged and he leaned closer. 

"Have you ever heard of Clayton, Captain of the Seas?" he asked. Actually, come to think of it, I had. My eyes grew wide as I remembered stories my father the King had told me about the young thief captain and his merciless crew. 

"That look on your face tells me you have. Do you honestly believe we'd take the princess back to her castle. We aren't called pirates for nothing little miss. You're lucky you weren't left to die. If I hadn't seen the birthmark on your left shoulder, I never would have saved you anyways. You should be begging for your life any time." He said sinking into his seat. 

"Sorry to disappoint you but I have a bit more respect for myself than that Captain." I said. 

"Then your useless to me. I'll just throw you off the ship." he responded. 

"Wait...please don't do that. I'll do anything." I begged. He reach over and grabbed my chin.

"Anything?" he grinned. I gulped.

"What do you want?"
