My Sweet Pirate

Chapter 2

I don't own picture. Picture is of Aldrich.

The next day I started mopping up puke, cringing at the smell of alchol. "Geez, at least they live up to their drunk reputation." I said not realizing that Aldrich was behind me.

"I didn't relize I was supposed to be drunk." He wishpered into my ear. I shivered and jumped back to see him. I then became angered.

"You nearly killed me!" I yelled pointing at him. He laughed, smiling.

"So, the princess does get scared. You have a fear of ghost or something?" He asked as I looked away.

"Of course not, that's just stupid." I said crossing my arms. I noticed the mop in his hands. "You plan on cleaning?"

"Well, I thought you could use some help." He said as I nodded and we started cleaning. By the time we were done, the crew started waking up. He was to busy sword fighting with one to notice me start climbing down a rope. I noticed an island not to far away, and started swimming. When I got onto land I sneezed. It was freezing cold. I looked at the ship, nd it had stopped. There was a small boat coming this way, so I started running into the woods.

I could here them following not far behind. I quickly hid in a bush. "Princess, come out. We will find you." One of the crew members said. I started to back up, but I backed into someone. When I turned, I saw Aldrich. He looked a little mad. He brought me to the small boat, and everyone stared at me on the ship. They tied me to a pole, and Aldrich glared at the crew.

They all went to their quaters in fear. I started to get scared as well. He untied me, and brought me to the holding cells on the ship. He threw me in, and locked the cage. Sighing he looked aat me. "I'll let you out tomorrow, try not to do anything like this again." He said with a warning tone.

Durning the night there was a really bad storm. I stayed curled in a corner. Jumping everytime there was a clap of thunder. I started crying, wanting to go home. The boat was also rocking violently, and I thought we were going to die.

When he came tto get me the next morning, it was still storming. He opened the cell and looked at me curled up, worriedly. "Princess, are you okay?" He asked as I looked up at him crying. There was another clap of thunder, and I suddenly hugged him. Slowly, he brought me to his room, and sat me on his bed. He wrapped his blanket around me, and I held it close. "Stay calm princess, we'll be passing the storm soon."

Once the storm passed, I peered through the blanket. He had left to go make sure everything was okay on the deck. When he came back he brought a cup of water and some real food. Setting it on his table he gestured for me to join him. I sat in a chair, looking away from him.

"Princess, I'm sorry, I didn't know you would be that scared." He said as I slowly ate the food he had offered me.

"The storms aren't this bad where I come from." I said as he nodded.

"As I would assume. If you ever get scared, you can come in here, okay?" He asked as I nodded. When I was one we went out to the deck. I walked to the front of the ship to see the beautiful, now calm water. The storm was behind us.
