Evelynn chuckled softly. Oh if only it was that easy. ”As interesting as that would be that would make me loose a lot of respect from my people and might even send us into a war.” You could never be to sure concerting a lot of the rulers of other countries. A lot of them wanted a reason to go to war just to try and knock England off it’s thrown and demolish the control it had over a lot of other countries and foregin affairs. Besides she hardly knew how to even throw a punch. She was a princess not a soldiers she never needed to learn how to. At her apology she lifted a hand and waved it off. ”Everything’s forgiven. I probably deserved it the way I was batting at you.” No one deserved to be personally attacked like that afterall.

Renesmee smiled softly as the Princess accepted her apology. She blinked and grabbed three pieces of straw, weaving them into a braid. "Why didn't you ever just run away? If you hate your life enough, what's the point of sticking around? I know, I know. You have a duty to your people. But with a husband like that, you'd never get to help them anyways. You'd be miserable, they'd be miserable. The only person who would win would be your sleazy fiance." Renesmee shrugged and continued to braid the straw. She opened her mouth to speak once more but silenced herself, knowing what she had already said would anger the Princess. "I have a question. Have you ever been outside of London? I'm guessing not. There's a whole world out there, Princess. Greece is especially beautiful. There's no point in making your life Hell like that. We only get one life. Might as well be exploring the world and being amazed by how beautiful the world is." Renesmee said, her accent thick on her words. She looked up as she heard the door swing open. The man, who she guessed was the First Mate, stepped down the steps. She whistled and threw the straw braid at him, knowing it wouldn't actually hurt him. She snickered. "How's the neck, buddy?" The blonde girl joked.

Evelynn glanced down at the ground with a sad smile. She wished it could be that simple, or better yet that she had a younger sibling so that if she did ever just decide to up and run she would not have to worry about her kingdom being heirless. ”Sometimes I wish I could just leave one day without a second thought. It would make me happier to be able to live my life by my rules instead of what everyone else expects me to be. If I could I more than likely would but it isn’t that simple. If I leave England will be left without any possible heir. My mother can not have children anymore so there would be no one to rule if something were to happen to them.” And the black haired beauty believed that they both knew that with no ruler the country would go into a state of chaos. Not to mention her marrying Dominic would prevent any war between England and Italy. She didn’t really see any other options. Shaking her head, she reached a hand up and took off the beaded headband she was wearing, gently setting it on the floor. It was really distracting and the only reason she had worn it was because one of her ladies had said she would look pretty in it. “Never stepped foot out of London no. Ive always wanted to travel but ever since the accident my parents have been extra protective of me since they can no longer have any more children. This is my first time ever even being on a boat.” And if she was being honest she was really scared. These pirates could kill her at any moment if they wanted to and flee off to some other country and never be seen again.

After the talk with Lucius, Xavier made his way back down below deck. He could oddlyhear talking and figured that their little stowaway and the princess were either still throwing insults at each other or had made amends. Hopefully the later since now the blonde would be staying with them. Of course as long as she agreed not to cause trouble. Brushing his hands through his hair he climbed down the stairs, his lips lifting into a smug smile at the French girl’s comment on his neck. He wasn’t sure why but it was almost fun going back and forth with her. Most women these days would never have a tongue as sharp as her’s. ”How’s the cell, blondie?” He shot back, stepping down the last step and walking over with his hands in the pockets of his pant. “Well actually luckily for you, you won’t have to stay down here much longer. Talked to the captain, managed to convince him not to kill you as long as your willing to behave and not cause us any trouble along the way.”

Renesmee snickered at his comment, loving how he shot back at her. She found him amusing, liking that he didn't get his pride hurt like so many other men. She leaned back against the wall, glancing at the Princess. She then looked back at the First Mate with a smirk. "I love trouble. And isn't that what you pirates wanna use me for? Thieving for you? What is that, again? Oh, trouble." The blonde shot back with a tilted head. She stood and grabbed the metal bars, looking at the man with an intense gaze. "Besides, I'm not about to get out of this cell before the Princess has a nicer place to sleep. She is a lady, after all." The thief shrugged her shoulders and moved back against the wall.

Xavier raised his hands and gave a slight shrug. Who was he to explain Lucius’ mother’s methods? She was the one who wanted him to be a pirate in the first place. If he knew Lucius, which he obviously did, he knew being a pirate and stealing didn’t make him happy. Why he still decided to listen to his mother the first mate would never really know. Especially when they really could just leave her somewhere and go but maybe it was because he never had parents that he didn’t care. ”Causing trouble for other people to help us steal isn’t the same as being on bored and say, purposely messing with our sails just to piss someone off. Besides, we won’t be sending you off the boat for a while anyway. Can’t trust you not to run off.” But then her statement about the princess came up and he threw a glance over at the quiet royal. True. She did deserve a better sleeping arrangement, even if she did decide to lock herself inside for the whole trip. Clearing his throat he turned back to the little thief. “See, I agree and I’d love to do that for her. Only problem is I don’t have that power. It’s up to the captain to give her a better sleeping quarter or not. If you want that you’ll need to bring that up to him not me. I’m guessing she had to have said something to make him upset otherwise she wouldn’t still be down here.” Lucius was a lot of things but he wasn’t rude to people for no reason and unless the princess did or say something she would already be in a nice living space for the rest of the trip.

Renesmee rolled her eyes at his words, pursing her lips. "She gets kidnapped, taken from the only home she's ever known and is then rude to the man who kidnapped her? Hm, I wonder why. God, men have such delicate egos." Renesmee grumbled, shaking her head. The fiery kitten pulled her hair into a messy bun, the heat becoming overwhelming for her. She blinked, looking over at the First Mate. She felt like she could have some fun with him. But then he'd get attached and she really didn't want that. She hated the idea of love. Well, she was more afraid of falling in love. So a man like him, she could see herself falling for. Which scared her. More than she felt comfortable with. "So I'll do what your Captain wants. Only until he thinks I've fulfilled my purpose and then I'm going home. Deal?" Renesmee spoke, reaching her hand through the bars to hold her hand out to the man. She blinked, waiting for him to shake her hand. "And I'm not leaving my cell until she has a better place to sleep." The teen spoke. She rarely ever cared about someone but after hearing the Princess' side of the story, she felt the need to protect her. From these pirates, especially.

The dirty blonde silently put his hands up in surrender. He would rather not have her get mad and throw a rock his way, so he was going to try and stay on her good side. “Like I said. His orders, it’s hust my job to follow them out.” But Xavier was sure with some consideration and warming the man up to the idea he’d be able to get Lucius to let the princess into a more suitable room of someone that belonged to her status. Well, of course not anything like the castle but definitely better than staying down here the entire time cold, alone, and completely in the dark. [color=red]”That’s right. You tell us where you need to go and sooner or later we’ll be there and you’ll be on your merry way. I’ll talk to him about letting er’ out I won’t make any promises.” Xavier knew first hand how stubborn he could be when he wanted to. He just hoped it didn’t take to much convincing. Shaking his head he let out a sigh before moving to climb back up the stairs and back on to the front porch to go talk to the captain. -

//sure! Maybe Lucius can come down and tell them that Xavier managed to convince him to let Evelynn out?

RENESMEE "REMI" DAHLIA PORTER

The teenaged girl had fallen asleep, exhaustion taking over her body. She had had a few small dreams, nothing of too much importance. Her dream then drifted off to the First Mate. She saw his smile. She saw the two of them sword fighting, laughing, kissing... She frowned in her sleep, grumbling. Her body was curled up as she laid on her side. She was surrounded by hay and had used her coat and her shirt as her pillow. So she was laying her, in just her brassiere and in her pants and boots. She slept soundly, not snoring. She never was the type to snore, anyways. Her soft breaths filled the air. It had been a few hours since Xavier had left the two of them alone and she had decided to get some sleep. As she dreamed, she saw Xavier. She saw him in a meadow, smiling and waving for her to come over. She giggled, the noise seeming to echo. She ran to him but it seemed to be in slow motion. Her blonde locks danced in the breeze and the floor length lacy white dress she wore kicked up as she ran. Her blonde locks were riddled with wildflowers and her blue eyes sparkled in the sunlight. She reached Xavier and she wrapped her arms around his neck, as he leaned in for a kiss.
Renesmee woke with a jolt, a gasp escaping her lips. She frowned, blinking quickly. She sat up, her hair falling over her shoulder. Her eyes adjusted to her surroundings. She was in a cell, under a ship. She exhaled, placing her hand over her racing heart. It was just a dream, she told herself. She brushed her hair behind her ear, slipping back on her shirt. She pulled her hair into a messy bun and looked to her side, seeing Evelynn had fallen asleep too. She decided to let her sleep as much as she could, knowing it was better to get in now. She pushed her back against the wall, pulling her knees closer to her. She rested her arms on her knees, clenching her jaw. Her dream repeated in her head and she cursed under her breath, scoffing. She lifted her hand to her mouth, chewing on her fingernail. She looked up as she heard the door swing open, hearing two sets of footsteps approaching. Renesmee whistled to wake Evelynn, looking to her side. She watched the groggy Princess wake up and as their eyes met, she motioned her head toward the two approaching men. Renesmee assumed it was now morning since she had seen sunlight peeking through the door as they had stepped through. She saw the men approaching were the Captain and the First Mate. She blinked, hearing what he had to say. When he spoke about Evelynn getting nicer quarters, her eyes widened. She had used the excuse not to leave Evelynn as a joke, she didn't think they'd actually listen to her. She listened about how if she tried to escape, she'd be thrown back into her cell. She glanced at the Princess, the thief staying silent for once. She looked back toward the two men, clenching her jaw. She watched them unlock Evelynn's cell and the Captain began to take her to her quarters, leaving her and Xavier. She looked to the side, refusing to meet his eye.

Lucius had spent the first part of the morning arguing with his mother. He had grown very tired of her trying to tell him what to do and how to act with his own crew. He rubbed his temples, standing in front of the helm. He watched the early morning sun rise over the water, a small smile on his face. He adored the sea. He always would. Lucius spent most of the night thinking about what Xavier had said. The thief had refused to be let out of her cell until he made a better place for the Princess to sleep. It was surprising to hear, to say the least. The two had just been cat fighting and suddenly, she was standing up for her? Lucius had decided to let the Princess have his spare quarters. They were meant for the mistress of the Captain but Lucius never felt the need for one. He ran a hand through his long hair, shouting a few orders at his crew before coming down onto the deck. He spotted Xavier pretty quickly and he walked toward him. "So, I've been thinking. Since they are women, they can't sleep with the crew. The crew will want to eat them alive and we can't have that. I was thinking about giving the Princess my mistress quarters and giving the thief your mistress quarters. Technically, it's a shared space but they're free from the handsy crew." Lucius explained as he stood beside Xavier, looking out onto the water. Lucius stood there for a few moments, enjoying the water and the sound of the waves. Then, his motioned for Xavier to follow him. He jogged toward the door that led to below deck, opening it. He heard a whistle as he came down the stairs, Xavier behind him. He assumed the whistle was the thief. He walked up to both of the cells with a sigh.
"Princess, I don't really want to keep you down here. So, you'll be staying in my mistress quarters. Don't worry, it's been vacant since I bought this ship. It is part of my quarters but I assumed you'd prefer that over being pawed at by the crew." Lucius said in a casual tone. He leaned against a nearby table as he pulled the keys out of his pocket. "And please don't try to escape. I don't want to throw you back into this cell but I will if I have to." Lucius sighed. He stepped forward and unlocked Evelynn's cell, pulling her out of the cell. He tossed the keys to Xavier so that he could let the thief out of her cell as well. Lucius guided the Princess up the stairs and onto the deck. He saw his crew looking at her like she was something to eat. Lucius barked orders at them, his eyes turning to slits. They rushed off to do as they were told as Lucius brought her to his quarters and then opened a separate door, leading her to her quarters. He cut the rope from her wrists and he tossed the rope to the side. He blinked, watching her. A small smile lifted his lips as he leaned against the door frame, crossing his arms over his chest. "I'm gonna have the thief girl go into town with Xavier when we make port tomorrow to get you some clothes. And some for herself as well. Don't worry, we won't steal them. I will make sure to give Xavier money." Lucius said with a small warm smile.

❝EVELYNN MARY O’BRIEN❞
The young princess was asleep, her body curled up in a fetal position as if trying to seek as much warmth as possible. It hadn’t been easy for her to fall asleep. She was use to sleeping on a luxurious bed with big warm covers over her body. Not on the hard, cold ground. Eventually she had fallen asleep but even her dreams weren’t pleasant. They were filled with her future life, Dominic running the entire kingdom and leaving no say for her in the matter, her crying herself to sleep because of how unhappy she was while he was off sleeping with whatever mistress he was interested in that night. It was awful and made her long to be free even more. To run away and never be seen again and to one day find a man who would love her and only her.
A loud whistle woke her up, her eyes blinking open groggily and a loud yawn escaping her. Sitting up she let out a groan, feeling a shot of pain run up her back and to her neck. Rubbing at the area she looked up with half lidded eyes towards the door. Fixing the top of her dress to prevent any unnecessary exposure she sat up some more and looked towards the two man. At the captain’s proposition she almost raised her brows in surprise. A part of her didn’t like the idea of sleeping so close to the man but as her kind drifted off towards the other option of sleeping near the crew of horny and lustful man a shudder ran up her body and she decided right then and there that sleeping near his room would be a much better and overall safer option. A soft scoff escaped under her breath at his statement of her trying to escape. And how exactly did he expect her to do that? They were out in the middle of the ocean. Even if she did find a rowboat she wouldn’t even know which way to go in order to get back home so even the idea of escape was futile.
Following the captain up the flight of stairs she looked around. All she could see was the darkness of the sea around them. No land anywhere, no matter how far she tried to look. As they walked towards her near sleeping area she noticed the lot of men ogling her as if she was some sort of whore that would sleep with them whenever they wanted. Standing up straight and turning her nose up at the men as the captain guided her to their destination. Upon reaching the room she looked around for a moment. It certainly was beautiful. It wasn’t her room back home but this one had a slightly more welcoming and warm feeling to it. She couldn’t quite put her finger on it though. When he cut the ropes off her arms, she let out a soft sigh of relief. Her hands immediately went to rubbing at the area to soothe the ache that had been left there from the right bindings. Listening to him she frowned softly. “I have a question.” The woman said, turning to fully face the man. “Yesterday you said that you didn’t want to kidnap me. If you didn’t want to kidnap me than why did you?” It just didn’t make sense to her. He was the captain so what would make him do something he didn’t want to.
❝XAVIER WILLIAM HARRINGTON❞
After the small chat with Lucius about the girls sleeping in both of their mistress’ quarters Xavier followed the larger man down towards the deck. He wasn’t surprised that the man had agreed so easily to letting both women out of their cages and into better sleeping quarters. Lucius wasn’t as monster despite what a lot of outsiders thought. Anything illegal or bad that he did was always his mothers doing not his. He was honestly a really nice guy once you got to know him.Standing by while he told the princess that she was going to be let out Xavier stood near the thief’s cell, throwing a quick glance her way. When Lucius and Evelyn left he turned towards her fully, crossing his arms over his chest and standing there for a moment as if trying to get a good read on her. “So. I got him to let her out and to a proper sleeping area. Will you please agree to behave now.” He really didn’t want to have to leave her down here but he ultimately would if he had to. He could sense that she as a troublemaker by heart but honestly prayed that she would play by their rules at least until she was able to get to where she was going.

Renesmee inhaled inwardly, her head lowering. She thought about saying snarky, something to piss him off. She scoffed at the thought, lifting her head to meet his gaze. "Say please again, I love begging." The teen blonde teased, wiggling her eyebrows. She giggled, shaking her head. She hoped he took that as a joke and not literally. She pushed herself to stand, brushing the hay off of her curvy body. She walked over to the cell door, putting her face between the bars and making a pouty lip at him. Her blue eyes shimmered in the dull light but she still looked as stunning as ever. "I promise I'll behave until your Captain tells me to do otherwise." Renesmee said as her pout turned into a smirk.

Lucius watched her admire the quarters with a soft smile. When she spoke and turned to face him, his smile faltered. His brows furrowed into a frown and he stood up straight, pushing himself off the door frame. He walked past her and moved to look out one of the windows, watching the sea lap at the bottom of the ship. "Someone instructed me to take you." He said simply and glanced at the side at her. He blinked, knowing if he told her anymore than that, she'd be in danger.

Renesmee giggled at his expression, seeing that he had been rather annoyed by her joke. She tilted her head to the side, watching him try and cover his annoyance with a smirk. She snickered, finding it amusing. She gripped the metal bars, her blue eyes sparkling with mischief. At his words, she rolled her eyes with a scoff. She raised an eyebrow at him, not really believing him. She'd make him beg, one day. She smirked at the thought. She watched him dig into his pants to get the key to her cell out. She stood on the tips of her toes, peeking at him. She watched him unlock her cell and she released the bars from her grip once the door went swinging open. She looked at him, narrowing her eyes. She cautiously stepped out, like a wild cat that had been released into the wild after captivity. The teen blonde stepped out in front of Xavier and turned around as he shut the cell door. At his words, she narrowed her eyes at him and gave him a look. She wanted to wipe that smirk off his lips. She pursed her lips and sauntered past him, shoving into his shoulder. She walked up the stairs, glancing behind at him with a devious smile and a giggle that meant nothing but trouble. Her giggle turned into laughter as she threw herself up the stairs, coming back onto the deck. She sighed, stretching her body. She hummed, loving the feeling of the sun on her cheeks again. She opened her eyes, looking around to see the crew looking at her like they were hungry wolves. She frowned deeply.
"Keep looking at me like that and I'll stab your eyes out with your own fingers!The French thief barked at them and the crew seemed to scatter. She turned her head, seeing Xavier coming onto the deck.

Lucius sighed and looked back toward her as she sat on the edge of her bed. He crossed his arms over his chest, standing in front of the window he had just been gazing out of. He watched her, her subtle movements. She still seemed tired. He had guessed she hadn't gotten much sleep since she was used to lavish beds, not cell floors. He inhaled deeply, shaking his head with a small laugh. "Look, sweetheart, I can't tell you anymore than that without putting you in danger. Just because I'm Captain doesn't mean I'm free to control my own damn ship." Lucius scoffed the last part, narrowing his eyes at the ground. "The seas work just like any other kingdom. There's a King and a Queen. And in this case, the Queen has the most power." Lucius spoke bluntly, his icy gaze then lifting to the beautiful Princess as he spoke.

Evelynn frowned softly at his words and threw a look over his way, mouth pushed out into a pout. “Then why do you stay?” She asked instead, curiosity filling her warm brown eyes as she stared at the captain. In a way the princess could see herself in him. Someone who was suppose to be in charge, or at least have some sort of say, being overturned and put down by someone else. The only difference was that she had a political alignment to her country. As far as she could see he didn’t have to be here. He could always leave and not come back if he pleases. She wished she had that kind of freedom. There was probably more to this story that he wasn’t going to tell her but it was always worth a try she decided, moving to lay across her bed. It was comfortable and it was tempting the young maiden back to sleep but for the sake of this conversation she forced herself to keep her eyes open and on the large man.❝XAVIER WILLIAM HARRINGTON❞
Xavier watched as she bounced towards the exit, looking up towards the wooden planks leading to the sky and silently praying that he hadn’t made the wrong decision in persuading Lucius to spare her. Shaking his head the young man let out a sigh, following after the blonde. Once he reached the top he saw the thief barking orders at the men to stop staring at her. Definitely the right call not to let her and the princess sleep with the crew but now that he was thinking about it he seriously doubted the pretty blonde would have many worries with them and would probably just slice anyone’s throat if they got to close to her. Letting out an amused chuckle he walked past her, using his hand to motion for her to follow him. Leading the way up the deck Xavier led her to his own quarters, pushing past the door to enter but continuing on with his walk to another door on the side of the wall. Opening it up he stood to the side to allow her entry to the quarters she would be sleeping in for the remainder of her time on the ship. ”This is your room. Now all I ask is that you don’t sneak into my ion during the middle of the night and slice my head off.” He very much liked his life thank you every much. -

Renesmee snickered as he chuckled at her words, seeming amused by her. She practically skipped after him as he motioned for him to follow him. She looked around curiously as they walked, seeming to want to study every detail of the ship. Just in case. She watched Xavier push through the second door and they cam across her quarters. She stepped inside the room with a whistle, twirling. It was bigger than any room she had ever had. And nicer. She let out an excited squeal and launched onto the bed, her petite body practically being consumed by the mattress. She let out a laugh, her blonde locks fanning around her beautiful face. The blonde thief perked her head up at his words and she sat up on the edge of the bed. She looked at him with an amused smile and a twinkle in her alluring blue eyes. "I would never. I actually find you amusing. You're funny to mess with." Renesmee snickered, a smirk forming on her lips. She stood and sauntered to her closet, seeing no clothes in the closet. She peeked out at Xavier with a raised brow. "Not much of a ladies man, I take it?" The femme giggled, mischief in her eyes. She sighed, dropping her hands to her sides. She felt gross in her current outfit. She wanted something nicer to wear but she guessed he had nothing that would fit her.

Lucius sighed and watched her for a moment, seeing her struggle to keep her eyes open. "I can't leave. I'd be abandoning my crew. And I'm the only one who stands between her and your country." Lucius spoke bluntly and then moved to the door they had just come from. "Get some sleep, Princess. I'm sure you need it." Lucius spoke with a soft smile before closing the doors. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. He walked over to his bed. He threw himself onto his bed and stared up at the ceiling. They would be making port the next day. Lucius knew it would be a few weeks before they made port again. Xavier and the thief would go ashore and find clothes for the two women and Lucius would most likely visit a brothel. He had alot of anger and frustration he wanted to get out. He assumed Xavier would want to come as well. If not, he was fine with going alone.
