Caught || Larry

Ten:

Harry opened up the latch, running out onto the upper deck of the ship.

"Stop!"

Suddenly an angry voice ran up behind the Prince.

"Don't move or I'll shoot."

Harry paused, turning toward the voice.

There stood Louis, pointing his loaded revolver straight at him.

"It's not what you think.." Harry put his hands up as he spoke.

Zayn came running up with his sword drawn.

"Thank goodness you're here, Sir!" Zayn huffed. "He was trying to escape when I caught him.."

Louis cocked his gun, snarling at the Prince. "Is this true, your highness?"

"Whoa, whoa!" Harry shouted "H-He's lying! He tried to kill me, so I ran!"

"He's lying, Captain! Kill him while you have the chance!" Zayn yelled. "He's too risky to be kept alive."

The Prince's eyes widened in fear."He's lyin-"

"Everyone shut up!" Louis paused, gathering his thoughts.

He turned toward Liam.

"Throw him off the ship." The Pirate King declared.

"No!" Harry shouted. "Y-You can't! I-"

"Yes, Captain." Liam muttered, walking toward the Prince.

"Wait! No!" Harry yelled desperately as he struggled to escape Liam's grasp. "Pleas-"

"Not him.."

Everyone looked over at the captain, dumbfounded.

"What do you mean, Sir?" Liam asked.

"I was talking about Zayn.."

"What!?" Zayn yelled. "You can't be serious! You're going to believe this royal over me?!"

"There's no possible way he could have escaped unless someone unlocked the cell door." Louis walked closer to Zayn, gun still drawn. "My key to the prison-cell was stolen earlier.."

"So?" Zayn looked around, nervously.

"Empty your pockets." The Pirate King declared.

"This is stupid." Zayn paused, giving a smug look.

Louis raised his gun up to Zayn's head. "Now."

He scoffed, finally emptying his pockets.

The prison-cell key dropped to the floor.

Everyone gasped.

"Yeah.." Zayn laughed. "So I tried to kill the little prick. Can you blame me?"

"I told you I wasn't lying!" The Prince chimed in.

"Shut up!" Zayn spouted.

"No Zayn." Louis cocked his gun. "You shut up."

Zayn glared at the Captain with hatred in his eyes.
