Lost in a Daydream

Chapter 6

Should I be this excited to be boarding a pirate ship? I mean I am a prisoner, but maybe this is my escape. Perhaps I can hold Mr. No-Name ransom on his own ship. Back in the forest, he tied rope around my hands, binding them behind my back. As soon as we reach his ship he makes me walk behind him, while he carries the end of the rope. How degrading.

"Nice catch there Captain, any chance you're going to share it with the crew?"

"Captain, you never said you were bringing a wench back!"

The Captain seemed to tense the further we walked onto the ship. Although I wan not particularly happy with him, he was better than his crew. I walked closer behind him, burying my face in his coat to hide my anger. How dare they speak to a woman like that! Especially one who is to be queen one day. If I ever get back.

When we reach a set of double doors the Captain moves me out of sight of his crew to the point where I am pressed against the doors.

"Miss Evans' is to receive no harm while aboard my ship." Wait, how does he know my last name? "If I hear any reports of wrong-doings towards her, you will have to face me. You all know I will not be pleasant to deal with. Now then, carry about your business we set sail at sun down."

He moves forward to allow me enough room to move. He opens the door and extends his hand towards the inside. "Shall we?"

I suffle forward and stand awkwardly in the center of the room. Once he comes in and shuts the door, rather tightly may I add, he turns to me and takes in my skeptical look.

"What? Do you not like what you see?" he chuckles, gesturing about the room.

"I don't understand." is all I can manage to get out in the state I'm in.

"Well now is your time to ask questions." he moves as if he were floating towards a chair seated behind a large oak desk. Once seated he tips the chair back, placing his hands in his lap. He thinks he's so smug.

"How do you know my name?" I stare towards him with cold eyes.

"Next."

"Next what?"

"Next question, I don't like it."

"Fine then, what's your name Captian?"

"You saying Captain has a wonderful ring to it."

"Can you stop that and answer one of my damn questions!"

"Fiesty too."

"Ugh!" it's only been a few hours and I already cannot stand him.

"Let's just say love we have a bit of history."

"That's impossible, as I've never had the misfortune of meeting a pirate until today."

"I would call it a blessing rather than a misfortune as I have just saved you from marrying a man you'd never love."

"Can you please just answer one of my questions?"

"The name is Killian Jones, love. Welcome aboard the Jolly Roger."
