Sleeping Next to the Pirate King

My heart beat quickened as I looked to see that Baron and I were completely surrounded. We sat in the middle of the deck as Henry stood in front of us smirking. His sword tilted my face upwards as he smiled.

"How disappointing. I thought that the two of you would put up more of a fight. Are you two on this ship for your honeymoon? Oh how sad. I apologize for ruining it."

Henry and the other crew members laughed as Baron and I sat back to back. All we had to do now was stall them until someone, anyone from our crew wakes up.

"Do you feel no remorse from looting ships? My husband and I have nothing to give you as we are the only ones in this ship. Is this really your only option?"

Baron looked at me as I acknowledged a lie. Despite the invalidity of the lie, it was a chance I had to take. If these fuckers are unaware of the prowess of our crew, then all the better.

Henry stoked his chin before he answered.

"It is not my only option."

Henry then leaned in and caressed my cheek.

"But it is the funnest option."

Henry's crew laughed once more. I frowned. These fuckers were so used to this shot that they memorized when to laugh. How troublesome. Baron and I were tied to a mast on the ship. The long rope around our waists.

Jesus Christ, this was uncomfortable as fuck. I squirmed as Baron stared forward silent. My mind was filled with possibilities.

Henry and his crew members walked along the deck as they argued amongst themselves if Baron and I should walk the plank. I chuckled. I finally get to hear traditional pirate words be used in context. I sighed. It was quite a beautiful day despite the disposition that we were in.

The sun was lightly peeking through the clouds as it said "peek-a-boo!". The clouds dispersed as they cleared to reveal a light blue hue. I closed my eyes as I heard the sound of the slight movement of the waves. As well as the comfortable and soft lull of the ship moving.

I opened my eyes.

Wait.

If I made enough noise here would I be able to wake someone up?

I looked to see Henry and his crew not pay attention to Baron and me. I smiled as I started to stomp on the deck multiple times. My ankle cried out in pain as I continued to stomp. Please just let someone hear the stomping.

I continued stomping for ten minutes before Henry walked over and took off the ropes. He then pulled me close to him as Baron cried out. Henry pulled me towards the railing of the ship as he set a plank. He then smiled as he said.

"I'm sorry my dear, but don't take this personally. You were just at the wrong place at the wrong time. Blame your own fate."

As Henry pointed his sword at my back he then said.

"Now walk the plank my dear."

I sighed as I looked back to see Baron struggle to untie himself from the rope. Despite my confidence as I walked down the plank I also felt fear. Please someone get me out of this situation.

"Captain, what should we do with the man?"

"The same as this woman, the least we could do as a courtesy is let them die together after all."

The crew burst into laughter as I glared at them. I opened my mouth to speak when suddenly one of Henry's crew members fell to the ground. A pool of crimson leaked from his body as an arrow stuck out. I trembled. Who the fuck did that?

I peered over and smiled. Well, well they are truly quite the pair now aren't they?

In the middle of the deck stood Fransisco and Francisca. They untied Baron before walking over to Henry and his crew. Henry burst into laughter as his crew members helped the shot man up. The man was still alive but looked to be in critical condition. Not that it mattered to me.

"Oi, well if it isn't the Spaniard royalty twins. How wonderful to meet the two of you here again."

Royalty twins? Wait a second. Fransisco and Francisca were royalty after all? I'd expected them to be noble but not royalty! I can't even slap myself for my fucking stupidity. That's when my history lesson came to mind. These two twins were known as "Satan's right and left hands". They specialized in hunting down their prey to the very end.

I looked at Henry and his crew with a smile. You fuckers are going to be screwed. I watched in awe as the twins took out large curved swords. They stood back to back as they charged forward despite the bullets which flew form Henry's crew members' guns. The twins ran in sync as they dodged the bullets. Jesus Christ it felt like I was watching the Matrix or something. And what shocks me more is the fact that they were smiling and enjoying themselves. The two resembled dancers with their graceful yet dangerous movements. Anyone would be captivated but their shining gold accents, the edge of their swords, and the strength they exhume.

I was in awe along with Henry Morgan. Despite his crew members being executed, he smiled happily as if he had finally found his missing dog.

The deck was spray painted red as the twins methodically cut down Henry Morgan's crew. Fear filled his eyes before he started chuckling.

I laughed as I walked back from the plank and landed on the deck once more. The deck was piled with bodies Despite their large wounds I could tell that they were still alive.

I looked to see the Spaniard twins covered in blood as they breathed in and out. I smiled. With the way they stood all bloodied and honorable one would think that they were tight in naming themselves the "Twin grim reapers". I laughed. This was awesome. I had truly underestimated their strength.

I walked over and untied Baron as they twins tied rope around Henry Morgan. I walked over to him and smirked as I said.

"What tricks do you have up your sleeve now motherfucker?"

Henry slowly escalated in his laughter as he answered.

"More than you and your guards could handle."

I looked to see more men climb over the railing into the deck. How many henchmen did this fucker have?

Henry then stood up and said.

"Give up now and I will think about seriously sparing the four of you. If you do not comply with the request of food and gold, then you can forget seeing the light tomorrow."

I shivered. God damn it. This man is a true pirate. All the people before seem like small fry compared to him. Is this really the life that I want?
