The captains Temptress

chapter 14

Lucian knew from first glance who the girl was. She had the same soft eyes as the old cook down bellow.

Lucians first stop was down to tell him that the young girl was abored the ship.

"Aye cookie I would head up to Jonathan cabin. Someone there for ya to see"

Cookie rose and walked up to the cabin as told. Lucian stayed bellow for a bit. He poured himself a cup of rum and sipped it. His mind kept going back to rosalind. Her soft eyes crying to him. He threw her to the dogs and he knew it. There was no chance of getting her back. Lucian knew by now that Edward winchesters ship would be long gone by now.

Lucian could only sit and wallow over what he had done. He loved her. He wanted to marry her. Instead he let his temper lose him everything. It was too late to get her.....or was it?

Rosalind woke up in a small dirty room. It smelled awful. It was dark only a little light came from the port hole from the nights moon. Fear filled the young girl. She did this to save a friend a girl who had suffered much in her life.

She hopped that she had found the ship and her and William were safe.

If only she could hope the same for herself. Rosalind looked to her dress it was dirty and torn as if she was dragged through the streets. She wished she could wash and have a fresh pair of clothes. She knew the Edward would not allow anything.

She could feel the rocking of the boat she knew they were moving. They must have set sail right away. Roaslind knew that he would take her back to her father. An awful man he was, he never cared for her only her mother ever did. Her mother was gone and she was alone. Her life was over now Edward won.

Heavy sounds of boots sounded down the halls. Someone was coming.... Roaslind hid herself down in the corner bringing her knees up to her chest. She wanted to hide from the monster but there was no way too.

The door flung open Edward stood in the door way. His eyes held a darkness in them. "Ah my dear your awake good, we have set sail home. I sent word to your father that we are coming home. We will be married right away and then you will be mine..."

His smile was dirty and evil. Roaslind couldn't help but cry at the though of being his. She wouldn't she rather die then have his touch. What would he do when he found out she wasn't a Virgin?  That she had laid with another man one she loved. Oh how she missed Lucians touch.

Edward left her once again in the dark of the room. No blanket or pillow to keep warm to sleep. She was cold and all alone. She had given up now on the hope of being saved. 

Beatrice sat with Jonathan in his cabin. The two laughed and talked William layer in her arms close to her and Jonathan. He had eaten and fallen asleep right away.

Jonathan was fond of the little lad. Bea loved the idea that he didn't judge her. He was different he was good.

A small knock came to the door. Jonathan went to answer it leaving Bea with William. "Ah bea there's someone her too see ya" Jon told her.
Bea did have any clue who it could be unless it was who Roaslind had told her about.

Sure enough it was her father walked in. He looked ruff like he had been sailing his whole life and not only a few months. Tears picked up in her eyes as she saw him. It was really him her father. Bea stood up and handed William to Jonathan. "Father?" She asked. He nodded and held her in his arms. They cried together in happiness. Both suffered from the time they spent apart but were brought back together once again.

"Thought I might never see ya again bea but here ya are all grown up even look like your mum"

Bea looked to her father and smiled.

" I have missed you so much I am glad your OK and that we are back together."

Bea looked to Jonathan who handed her back little William. The young babe woke to his mother's touch. Cookie looked at bea with sof eyes.

"Aye you made me a grandfather..so young" he smiled with tears in his eyes.

Bea smiled the thought of how William came to be was a sad story for her. She loved her son though non the less.

"His names William." She told him handing the young babe to cookie.
At first cookie was scared to hold the child as if he might break him.

Jonathan had taken his leave to let the young family talk.

Bea told her father of the night she was taken how they took her to new York.  How she had gotten pregnant by rape. The man left her too but she stayed strong and worked hard. 

Cookie was filled with rage by the fact his daughter was raped and forced. He still saw his wife's strength in her eyes. Cookie loved the young boy still just as much as bea did. He was a grandfather and a father all in one. How could he be anymore happy.

Jonathan had gone up top to see the ship sailing away from new York. Why though? Lucian wanted to stay longer did he not?

Jonathan spotted Lucian up top conducting the crew to work. What was going through that man's mind? 

"Aye Lucian what are we doing now?"

"We are going after her"

Who? Was all he could think of. It soon hit him. Roaslind.  The young girl had lied to Lucian but feel in love with him. Lucian had planned to marry her but threw her out instead.

"We won't catch up in time and if we do what will we do fight?"

Lucian smiled he had a plan and he had his ways of knowing everything. Jonathan knew this Lucian and him had been friends for a long time.

"Edward winchester has no crew that will fight for him. Most are slaves to him. If we give them freedom they give us winchester who will give us Roaslind"

Lucian was a man driven by love. Jonathan nodded to him. "Well then let's prepare to bring her back."
