Chapter 42: Meeting the pirate king.

After about fifteen minutes of walking through the throng, they came into a clearing. Men stood all around her, looking down at her with piercing, hungry eyes. Stifling smoke filled the air. Her eyes burned from it and Pierre left her alone, but she could sense Enrico behind her and was at ease.

She looked around, searching for the man she loved, and when she saw him between a few men, she wanted to call him. Roberto stood out tall and strong, far above them, looking at her with a blank stare as if he did not know her in this world. She remembered his words and repeated to herself, He loves me. I know this, trust him.

Suddenly there was a light buzz in the air and in her vision another man stepped up, large and menacing. Fierce words assaulted her.
