Strong Enough - Part 8

They were cruising endlessly four days ago, the ship's swing was very good for the nights she wanted to sleep, but that also made her sleepy during the day. As he had promised, the captain hadn't bumped into her at all... Until the fifth day, when there was a loud crash, and suddenly there were many shouts coming from the bow. "They're attacking! It's Captain Icy Heart's ship!"

Captain Kurosaki's cold gaze changed for about a millisecond. He grabbed her arm and dragged her into the hold of the ship. "You stay here, it's an order." And with that he came back up, sending the first Immediate Ichinose to look after the princess down there. The sounds of battle were muffled by the thick wood of the ship, so she didn't know what was happening. "Don't worry, Princess, I'll protect you." The dark-haired boy threw a confident smile at her.

"What's going on up there?" She asked, but she already had an idea of ​​what it would be. The boy let out a heavy sigh and shrugged. "They want you." The shock was so great that she couldn't answer. How did they know she was there? And why did they want her so much? Only if... "Do they know who I am?" She asked feeling a strange fear cause twists in her stomach.

The boy was about to respond when a loud crash made the basement door fly toward the First Immediate, knocking him to the ground. "Well, well, well... We met again little lamb..." From the hole the door left, the same pirate who attacked her in the alley came up with a crooked and dangerous smile. Acting on instinct, she ran to the First Immediate and took the heavy wood off him, but at the same moment the other man grabbed her by the arm and pulled her hard. "You come with me, princess..."
