Two Worlds.

3.

Julian was shaken awake later that night. 

Looking up, he froze upon seeing a pair of bright eyes and messy dark hair, lips curled into a grin, 

"Good morning your highness" Sherlock whispered, "You're coming with me" 

Before Julian could have squeaked, screamed or anything, he was taken from his bed by Sherlock and dragged along. 

The pirate dragged him all the way outside and to a port where there was a rather formidable ship which seemed to have been named "Mistress". 

Julian was dragged up the gangplank and Sherlock looked over at him, smiling, 

"You've been rather silent your highness" 

"Forgive me" Julian snapped, "But I do enjoy having my head attached to my neck" 

"You're a smart one" Sherlock mused before bringing him to a room, tossing him in and locking the door behind him.

The room wasn't that horrible, there was food and drink on the table in the center, maps on the walls and it had soft looking beds with warm looking quilts but it also had Lorcan and Paul. Lorcan was sitting on a bed with his chin in his palm and staring at Paul who was screaming into a pillow. 

"Paul? Lorcan?" Julian said in a hushed voice and Lorcan looked over at Julian, 

"Oh hello, was wondering if you'd get the pleasure of joining us" 

"What's happening" 

Paul paused his screaming, looking over at Julian, "It seems my dear friend, we have become hostages" 

"Surely the pirates aren't stupid enough to kidnap royals" Julian said before the ship started moving and Lorcan raised an eyebrow, "...Then again maybe they are".
