The Pirates Prince (ManxMan|Pirates)

Chapter Four

Abel remained behind a cell waiting for his fate. The slash wounds on his back proves its just the beginning of his punishment. No one would dare anger the king, Abel felt no fear towards the heartless man he's fored to call king. During his trial of punishment Abel glared at the four princes seated on their throne beside their father. Did they know about Silva's fate? Would they do anything to save him?

For weeks Abel prayed Silva is well along with his crew. He knew the dangers of the ocean and yet Abel was desperate at that moment. Just imagining Silva marrying that prince pained his heart. How badly he wanted to stab his sword through his chest. Abel didn't fear the king but infact stood his ground shocking those around him.

Abel was brave enough to challenge the king. Even proving his love for Silva is no laughing matter. The king wanted his son back and Abel refuse to speak of his location. The days of torture Abel show any ounce of pain, it'll only taunt the sadist guards.

"Why are you refusing to speak? Tell King Joel where the Pearl is headed" said Silas.

"Where the ocean wants to take the Pearl" Abel replies.

"Silva is a prince, its what royals do Abel and Silva knows that" said Silas.

"Doesn't make it right and you know it. I love that man with all my heart, I'll do anything to protect him even if it cost my life. No one deserve to live life that doesn't belong to him" Abel replies. The man clench his hand into a fist, pulling on the shackles around his wrist.

"And what will Silva do if you did sacrifice your life?" asked Silas. Confused by his question Abel spoke upon first thing came to mind.

"He'll find happiness again, he needs to" Abel responded.

"You foolish man, stop thinking about yourself for once. Imagine the pain you put him through. Silva will never forgive himself knowing you're putting your life at risk for him. How could anyone be okay with that" said Silas.

Abel remained silent listening to Silas, he never thought of that. Abel remember Silva's pleas for him to return to the castle and yet Abel refuse to listen doing what he thought was right. What else is he suppose to do?

"What else am I suppose to do Silas? Watch Silva marry another man he doesn't love. Watch each other from the distance forever!" Abel yelled. Just thinking about it makes his mind go crazy, he needed feel his touch and kiss his soft lips.

"You're correct Abel, that's a life of a royal and the only way to protect each other" said Silas. Abel refuse to believe that is the only solution.

"Nonsense! There has to be another way! I won't allow it, the deed is done and soon Silva will find happiness" Abel replies.

Silva's body froze in place, the young prince trembled upon the pirates gaze. The sound of waves and yells from the other pirates fades to silence. Scares covered the pirates chest, the man held a sword sharp enough to slice him in half with a one swift swing.

"Raid the ship! Leave no man behind!" Yelled the pirate. Silva panicked, his nightmare is coming true all because of him.

"No! Spare their lives! I have gold so take it! Please spare them" Silva pleaded. The man glared at the young prince, his beauty impressed him. Such beauty he never seen before, women he's been with cannot compare to him.

Quickly Silva taken off the jewels he wore. He didn't want to give Abel's gems he held dearly but Silva needed to save their lives.

"Your jewels aren't enough what you're worth" said the pirate. Silva screamed as the man put him over his shoulder. The sound of the swords clang against each other.

"Release me!" Silva whimpered. Silva cried seeing the pirate stab the crew men.

"Stop! Please!" Silva sobbed. His fist slam against the pirate, with the remaining strength he has left Silva continued to fight.

"Burn the ship, got my treasure" said the pirate. Silva watched in horror as the pirates set the White Pearl in fire. Lifeless bodies laid upon the wooden deck painting the wood with blood. Silva forced himself to watch, he done this to the crew men. The rain pour against the fire but the damage is done.
