Captain Styles *UNEDITED VERSION*

Chapter 21

Harry's POV:

This damn ship can't go fast enough.

We've been at sea for over an hour now, on full overdrive, and still no sight of Drake's ship. I know exactly which way he took off, I watched him leave with MY Bella with him.

But no matter how fast I try to get this ship to go, it isn't catching up to his ship. It's the middle of the night, so I can't see much anyways, but I would still be able to make out at least a silhouette of his ship, but I have nothing.

NOTHING.

The thought alone is so frustrating that I was caught off guard by him. He's already made my list of people I want to kill, but now he's moved all the way to the top. He's passed by at least thirteen other bastards and that's saying something.

The prick is going to really feel my wrath when I finally find him. I'll be sure of that. No one gets away with hurting my Bella without facing the consequences of it.

Pacing back and forth on the deck with my hands behind my back, I couldn't help but think of how Bella was managing all alone. I was praying that somehow she was doing just fine, but I didn't know if that was true or not.

How could I know how she was doing if I wasn't with her? He could be doing who knows what and I'm on this ship, helpless as he takes advantage over her. She's strong, but she's not strong enough to fend him off for too long.

Even if she runs and hides, she will be taken over by him and his large crew of idiot pirates. They really are idiots, but when Drake says something, they do it. Bella couldn't stand a chance against all of them, and I knew that.

That's why I was in such a hurry to get to her. I needed to save her before it was too late and she has lost all of her innocence.

But I can't do that now, because THIS DAMN SHIP WON'T MOVE ANY FASTER!!

"Captain." Louis' voice stops my pacing, making me turn around to face him. "What is it?" I ask him sharply, wanting an answer. My anger was on a short fuse and I knew that I was bound to blow up anytime soon.

"Stop worrying so much. We'll find her soon, I promise." he tries to reassure me, putting a hand on my shoulder but I shrug him off, looking out over the sea.

"I'm not worried that we won't find her, Louis. I've said that." I say and he nods his head. "You're scared that Drake is going to hurt her." he finishes and I nod my head.

"There won't be much time for him to be hurting her." Niall's voice broke in and both Louis and I turn to him confused.

"And why is that?" I ask irritably, not understanding what he was talking about. He just smiled at me, giving me a big thumbs up. "We've spotted a ship about six hundred yards in front of us. It's most likely Drake's ship. It'll take us 'til morning to catch though, so we can be sure that it is him." Niall says and a smile breaks out on my face.

"That's great!" I say pumped, getting myself fired up for this confrontation. Oh, it's going to bring me so much joy beating that jerk to a pulp. I'll shoot him too. And stab him...and throw him overboard.

All of these thoughts are very welcoming in my mind and I am getting excited about facing him. I was still pissed, that was very certain, but it made me happy to know that he would finally get what he deserved.

And I was the one going to be giving him that punishment.

"Keep the ship going full throttle, we need to decrease as much space between us and his ship as possible. If we can't catch him, we'll never be able to save Bella. It's vital that we can catch up to him by morning." I order and both Niall and Louis nod their heads, leaving me on the deck as they go to their stations, doing what I told them to.

I turned back around, staring back out at the sea. "Don't you worry Bella, I'm coming for you." I whisper, placing my hand on the railing as I close my eyes, letting the chilly breeze of the night hit my face.

I tried to calm my thoughts, but it wasn't working. Knowing that we were coming up on his ship was a positive thing, but knowing that we weren't going to reach him until morning presented a whole new problem.

Drake will have over 12 hours to get what he wants from Bella. It's been three hours since he's taken her, but I still don't think she will give in that easily.

Hopefully, by the time morning comes, she will just be giving in and not being able to escape him anymore. That way, I can save her without her getting hurt.

As much as I tried to think positively about Bella's capability, negative thoughts swarmed my mind as I thought of Drake's cruel smile.

He's smarter than people pin him to be, and that could be a disadvantage to Bella. He's sneaky and sly, coy and cunning. He'll find a way to get to her before morning and that's what I'm afraid of.

Especially after everything he's done to women, I don't think that I could live with myself if he does that to Bella. She will be tortured with that for the rest of her life.

No, no it's not going to happen. I'm going to save her before that happens. I'll save her before she is emotionally scarred for life.

At least, that's what I have to keep on telling myself.

I look back up at the sky, noticing that the darkness was still heavy, not lifting anytime soon. It's probably only twelve or one in the morning, which means I have at least another seven hours until I get to Bella.

"Come on Bella, don't give up on me yet. I'm coming for you."

Sorry that this is such a short chapter. I wrote this right before I went to bed so I hope that you like it and that it makes sense. So...please continue to COMMENT and VOTE!! :D It really means a lot to me and it makes me happier. x
