The morning was eerie, we've all felt it, even Killian seems on edge but no one knows why, the sea is strangely calm and almost silent, the sky is blue and sun is shining, today is no different from that of any other but yet, it feels wrong.

The men are quiet just getting on with work, I help Smee cleaning the cabins and even he seems somewhat sad, my heart aches, my skin prickles, I'm afraid and I don't know why but somethings going to happen and it will happen soon.

It's noon now and soon, we leard what the eerie feeling was. Up ahead is a large ship bigger than our own its heading straight for us and its flying the red flag meaning "no quarter" they intended to kill us all...

My heart threatened to jump from my chest "Captain!" I shouted but no answer, sudenly I felt two strong hands on my shoulders swing me around "I know love, come with me" he pulled me hard and gestured to go below deck "get down there and don't emerge until its safe" I do as I'm told, he closes the trap door and heads towards the helm.

I take a look around, its dark and stuffy, I move as far back as I can and duck behind some crates, I hear the cannons fireing from both ships, one hits us directly, I whimper wishing I could be there to help but what could I do? I'm hardly trained and pregnant, I'd be of no use.

My heart sinks when I hear the pirates boarding, there are screams from above one being that of Aristae, she runs above me screaming angrily, I hear swords clanking together and bodies falling, I feel sick now, not knowing who's been lost, my friends, men I'd happily call my family.

I'm not sure how long its been but the fighting has stopped, all I hear are boots above my head and voices, one man speaks "well well well, if it isn't the fearsome captain hook" he chuckles "not so strong now are ya!" He laughs loud followed by many other unknown men.
"Yeah, that tends to happen when a man is tied up" says Hook "let me loose and you and me will fight one on one" he sounds weak now "oh no, see I told you Hook that if I was to see you again, I'd kill you the moment I had chance to" he laughs again, then I hear him removing his sword from his hip, I scramble to the trap door to see whats happening. A sob catches in my throat when I do, almost the whole crew are dead, bodies and blood cover the whole deck but right in the middle I see them, a crew of 20 strange men stand behind a man I can only assume is their captain, he has long thick and wavey black hair and matching beard, in front of him kneel 4 of our remaining Crew, Hook, Smee, Fin and Aristae. The strange bearded captain raises his sword and brings it down towards Killian who closes his eyes ready to meet his fate "NO!!" I scream instinctively, Hook sighs obviously aware I'm no longer safe, the bearded captain shieves his sword and heads towards me, lifting me from my hiding spot.

Dragging me towards Hook he shoves me to my knees to face him "this belong to you?" Hook grows angry "leave her out of this Black beard, she's not a part of the crew I'm just helping her out" Blackbeared begins to laugh "ahh, you have feelings for her" he faces his men and grins "touching, very touching" he faces Hook again "I'll let you live, but I'm taking the girl" he drags me to my feet and shoves me towards his crew "take her to my chambers, I have plans for her.
