Chapter 32 - Plan Backfired

"I wish to bet my life on it," Eloise laughed manically.

The man stopped for a second and pulled his dagger back. "Bring me all the prisoners!!"

'What is he planning?'

"A small boat as well," she added with a smile.

He gritted his teeth loudly. "Prepare a boast as well for these prisoners,"

"Captain' what do you mean?" the pirates shouted one by one.

"Just do as I say!!!"

The rest of the pirates apprehensively glanced at them both.

Eloise smirked widely. 'It's all going according to plan...'

Soon the rest of the captives were bought out. Most of them were women and children. The sounds of their loud sobs filled the deck.

"The boast, now!!!" Eloise threatened him.

The captain, who was frowning until now, suddenly smiled widely. "whitey you thought you could outwit me?"

"W—what?"

"Kill the men," he shouted with a loud laugh.

"Wait, don't try to...!!" but before she could finish her sentence, blood splattered across the deck. So many bodies dropped loudly onto the floor. The remained women and children wailed and some even fainted.

Red.... everything was red.... blood flowed down and slightly touched her feet.

Her pounding heart froze and the shiver she was holding back came back with a vengeance.

"Hey whitey," he gripped her face and glanced into her pale blue eyes. "I love that look in your eyes. That shivering look, I carve it." he gently licked the side of her face. "Just because I went soft on you, did you think I would spare you for this imprudent behaviour?"

Eloise blankly glanced at the dark sky. "You are a cruel man."

"Who said I was a gentleman," he skillfully removed the snake off of her neck and placed the hissing snake on his lap. "You were the one who thought less of me little lassey,"

"...."

"What, no word for me?" he smilingly kissed her cheeks.

Eloise pushed him away with shaking hands. "You are so cruel. How could you... I thought you said you would sell them..."

"Yeah, but men don't sell for much. Woman on the other hand, can be sold for ten gold, isn't that awesome, especially these kittens." He gently caressed her hands. "This smooth butter like skin is all men crave for,"

Eloise shuddered visibly.

"Aww, I like that reaction, too. I said I will not touch you, but I didn't say I won't sell you. Che, you really shouldn't have touched my king." he pushed her off the chair.

Eloise silently sat on the ground watching from him below. Her nails scarped onto the wood floor creating deep marks into the rotting wood. 'If I can't escape, they will sell me as slave.. I don't want that! I don't want that at all!! What do I do now?'

He gripped her hair and yanked her up. "Like a porcelain doll, you girls all crumble when you see blood. It's what I hate,"

Eloise suddenly punched his face. She continued hitting him before she was dragged back by force. "Bastard!!" she kicked at him, but the darn heavy skirt got in the way.

The captain wiped the blood off of his lips with a smirk. "Giving you that dress was really for my benefit. Grab her tight; she can be slippery as hell."

She fought against them. "Ahhh hell!!! You bitch!!!"

"Wow, I've never heard a girl cuss out like that. Not sure I like that now." the captain laughed in glee.

Eloise just glared at him, halting her efforts. "You are a lowly scum, you know that?"

"I am well aware, darling. Take her back to the cage,"

"Let go!!" she felt someone grasp her hair and dragged her behind. 'I have to escape...' she glanced around desperately.

The few pirated had a knife on their hips. She freed her hand and swiftly drew one of them out and slashed her long hair off.

She sprinted off towards the cabins.

"Get her!!"

Without looking back, Eloise ran. Her ankles were aching from her previous fight in her ship, now it was extremely swollen and red. She could not run that fast and soon she got caught.

The men stomped on her skirt and dragged her back.

"AHHH let go, you fucking pigs!! Let go of me!!!" she hit them with whatever she could find. May it be a rope and a pearl string she was wearing. She tossed it at their faces and kicked and punched her way to escape.

Thins did not deter them at all.

She was cornered and caught by them again.

As she was being dragged off, Eloise anxiously glanced at the dark sea. 'Where is my rescue team.... ahh don't tell me I'm abandoned? Shit...'

Suddenly an enormous bang was heard, and the whole boat was rocking violently.

Eloise, along with her capturers, were thrown into the wall.

Thankfully, these men acted as her flesh shield, and she was not wounded in the slightest.

'Before these pigs wake up, I need to leave.' she stood up and hobbled over to the deck once more.

The entire ship was enveloped in flames and only one figure stood in the idle with a sword in hand.

"Raymond!"
