Nineteen:

(Louis' POV)

Louis made his way down the street. He approached the London bridge, pondering in his mind everything that had just went down in the brig.

He kept replaying the Prince's frightened face in his mind. He didn't like to see him afraid.. He hated it actually..

But why..

He shouldn't feel bad for Harry. He's just a no good royal..

Louis shook his head as he walked, trying to clear his head of the Prince.

He finally approached the London bridge where Liam and Niall were waiting.

"Any sign of the King?" Louis asked.

"No Sir.." Liam replied, shaking his head.

"Don't worry boys.." The Captain began. "We should see our precious King any time now.."

They stood for several minutes when suddenly a young man approached them holding a note.

"Are you the Pirate King?" The mysterious man asked.

"Yes.." Louis raised a brow. "What is this regarding?"

"Here.." The man handed him a note. "I was told you bring you this.."

The mysterious man walked away. Louis looked over the strange note in his hand.

"Well that was weird.." Niall pondered. "Who do you think it's from?"

"I'm not sure.."

Louis raised a brow before opening up the mysterious note.

'The Pirate King,
Under no circumstances will the King or his royal council negotiate with Pirates. You will receive not a single cent from us. Guards will be posted outside the castle. You will be killed on sight if you or your crew are seen on the premises.
-King Styles'

Louis shook his head in disbelief as he folded the letter back up. He couldn't believe his eyes.

"What's wrong, Captain?" Liam inquired.

"I-" Louis' eyes widened as he spoke. "I can't believe it.."

"What happened?" Niall asked, clasping the Pirate King's shoulder.

"That fucking piece of shit King is too selfish to save his own son!" Louis paused. "That royal fuck would rather his son die.. Then give away a cent of his precious millions.."

Liam and Niall looked down at the floor with a perplexed look on their faces.

"What do we do now, Captain?" Niall asked.

That was great question..

Louis had no idea what to do next.. He wasn't getting his money..

"Umm.." Louis' eyes started to well up. "I-I don't know.."

"Sir.." Liam began. "I think you know what must be done.."

Louis looked around, nervously. Of course he knew what had to be done..

But did he have the heart to do it?

"Yes.." The Pirate King shook his head. "I know what must be done.."

(Harry POV)

The Prince sat in the brig, pondering what had just went down.

He couldn't believe Louis had just treated him in such a way. He was somewhat starting to develop a little bit of trust with the Pirate.

Although he knew he shouldn't.. Louis was his hostage taker. Just because he cuddled with him and almost kissed him doesn't mean he should be trusted. He's still a dangerous pirate.

Suddenly Harry heard multiple footsteps walking onto the boat. He figured Louis was back with the money and was going to let him go.

The Prince felt a sense of excitement. He couldn't wait to go home. He couldn't wait to see his family again. He couldn't wait to sleep in his own bed again.

Just as Harry was thinking about going home..

The boat started moving.

The Prince's heart dropped down to his stomach.

'Why are we leaving? Why am I still here?' Harry pondered, tears streaming down his face.

Every feeling of hope left Harry's mind. He figured he was going to die on this ship and there was nothing he could do about it.

The brig door creaked open. He squinted his eyes tightly as the sunlight penetrated the dark room.

He saw Louis, Niall and Liam walking toward him.

'What are they gonna do..'
