"Aren't you gonna invite me in?" The Pirate snickered, inching closer to the helpless Prince.

Harry backed away slowly before hitting the back wall.

The Prince looked to the right of him, seeing a dagger placed on the nightstand.

Before he could reach for it, Louis noticed.

"Don't even think about it, sweetheart.." The Pirate approached close enough to lift his sword to Harry's throat. The Prince let out a whimper from the cold metal pressing against his neck. "What a shame it would be to have to kill something as pretty as you."

Harry clenched his eyes shut, pressing his head against the back wall. He started shaking, causing his voice to tremble in fear. "P-Please, don't.."

"Is the Prince of England actually scared of a dumb pirate like myself?" Louis chuckled in a sarcastic manner. "Huh. I guess you rich royals aren't so big and bad after all."

The Prince gulped. He unclenched his eyes, keeping eye contact with the dangerous pirate stood in front of him.

"W-What do you want?" Harry was able to mutter those shaky words.

"What do you think?" Louis raised a brow. "Come on.. Guess!"

"Please.." Harry paused. "You can have anything you want just.. take it and go."

"That wasn't a guess, Harry." Louis pressed the sword a little deeper into his throat, causing the Prince to yelp. "I said.. Guess!"

"Okay! Okay!" Harry shouted through his tears. "My priceless jewels."

"Nope." The Pirate snarled. "Try again."

"M-My royal clothes."

"Nope." Louis inched his face closer to the frightened Prince. "You get one more guess.."

Harry's eyes began to brim with tears as he struggled to find the right words to say.

"Come on!" The angry Pirate shouted. "I haven't got all day!"

"Umm.." Harry nervously bit down on his lip. "My ship?"

"Wrong!" Louis tightened his grip on the sword. "Looks like you're out of guesses, sweetie."

"Okay! Please stop!" Harry inhaled through his tears. "Me!"

Louis lifted his ear closer to Harry in a sarcastic manner. "What was that?"

"I said.." The Prince paused. "Me!"

"What about you?"

"Y-You want.." He gulped. "You want me."

Louis released the pressure of his sword from Harry's throat.

"You would be correct, Princess."

Suddenly Niall and Liam walked into the room.

"The deck is all clear, Sir." Niall began. "Everyone on board is dead."

Harry felt a mixture of anger and adrenaline flush his body.

These pirates had just killed all of his royal crew?

He had to speak up..

"How could you do that! Those men had families!" Harry cried out, tears falling from his bloodshot eyes. "You heartless pirates won't get away with this! You'll be hung for your crimes!"

The Prince bit his tongue, instantly regretting speaking out.

The Pirate slowly turned his head toward him.

"Excuse me?" Louis grunted, angrily. "You wanna run that by me again?"

Harry's face turned bright red as he prepared for the worst. "I-I'm sorry.. I-"

Louis slapped him hard across the face, causing the Prince to yelp in pain as he clasped his throbbing cheek.

"If you ever speak to me like that again.." The Pirate inched closer to him, whispering huskily into his ear. "You'll get way worse than that.. Do I make myself clear, your highness?"

The frightened Prince nodded his head. "Y-Yes.."

"Yes, what?"

"Yes.. S-Sir."

"Good." Louis backed away, turning toward Liam. "Go get me some rope."

"Yes Sir!" Liam shouted, running to the upper deck.

"Rope?" Harry mumbled.

"That's right, my dear.." Louis raised his sword once again, laying it upon the Prince's shoulder. "We can't have something as valuable as you running off, now can we?"

Liam returned with a small bundle of rope. "I got it."

"Excellent."

Louis grabbed the bundle of rope from his hand, making his way back toward the Prince.

"Turn around." The Pirate King demanded.

"You don't have to do this, ya know.." Harry hesitated, pulling his arms close to his body. "You could just leave now and-"

"Turn. Around." Louis snarled, clasping the rope in his hand. "I'm not gonna ask you again.."

Harry sighed, looking around at the 3 dangerous pirates surrounding him.

He soon realized he had no choice. They would certainly kill him if he didn't comply.

The Prince turned his body around, awaiting further instruction.

"Put your hands behind your back."

Harry slowly placed his arms behind his back, allowing the Pirate to tie them into place.

The Prince clenched his eyes shut as the rope burned his wrists. "Ouch.."

Louis rolled his eyes. "Turn back around."

Harry turned his body around, swallowing his tears.

"Who knew the spoiled little Prince Harry could actually listen to direction?" Louis shrugged in a sarcastic manner.

The other 2 pirates laughed.

"What do you wanna do with him?" Niall asked, looking over the Prince stood in front of him.

"Take him back to the ship. I'll meet you guys there in a few minutes."

Louis began picking through the Prince's belongings. He picked up a hand-written note by his bed.

"Hey! That's mine!" The Prince shouted.

"Oh?" The Pirate King pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket, handing it to Niall. "And gag him too. I'm tired of his mouth."

"With pleasure.." Niall grabbed the cloth from Louis' hand, walking over to the Prince.

"Wait-"

"Shut up, you royal scum!" Niall shoved the cloth into his mouth, shutting him up.

"Take him to the brig." Louis demanded.

"Let's go, your majesty." Liam and Niall grabbed both sides of the Prince's arms, forcing him out of the room.

"See you in a bit, Princess!" Louis laughed as he continued to rummage through Prince Harry's personal belongings.
