Chapter 7
Kiera heard a loud "whack" and Evan was down on top of her. Kiera had no idea what was going on until she saw two sailors out of the corner of her eye; another loud "whack" and Evan was lying motionless. Kiera screamed "EVAN.... EEEVVVAAANNN!" and tried to hold him, but before she could grab him an arm wrapped around her waist, and she was lifted into the air.
Kiera had no idea what was going on, but she knew she and the man she loved were in danger. She started flailing, kicking, screaming and doing everything she could to get free, but suddenly someone punched her in her stomach, and she couldn't breathe. As she was gasping for breath, he threw her on their mattress and handcuffed her wrists together. As he did, Kiera finally got a look at her attacker, and she recognized him as one of the sailors that tried to capture her after her sunning on the rock.
Her blood ran cold when she realized this had been the captain's plan all along. They had tracked her and waited until she let her guard down, then struck. This was all her fault and she had to do whatever she could to save Evan and her fellow mermaids. They drew her out of the lean-to and threw her over their shoulder like a sack of potatoes. She tried to follow their movements and they headed down the beach and around a bend and to a beached skiff.
The sailor tossed her into the skiff, bruising her back, while his mate pushed them into the surf. They started the very quiet engine and took off around the island. They didn't go very far but eventually pulled up to the fishing trawler that chased her out of Mermaid's Cove and made all her fellow mermaids flee. Now they had her and had left Evan injured back in their love nest.
She had no idea what they were going to do, but found out when her hands were uncuffed, then bound in a rope tossed from the ship. Once her wrists were bound again, she was hoisted onto the ship and then higher until she was hanging from the mast. Kiera still had a few tricks up her sleeve while hanging there naked watching the captain and his sailors.
There was a stare down between her and the captain. Kiera had never been as angry as she was now. The man she loves was attacked by these people. There was a little fear about what they would do to her, but the fire was in her belly to punish these sailors and keep them away from Evan and other mermaids.
The captain came over, slapped Kiera's breasts and punched her in the stomach shouting, "You hid from me and made me look like a fool searching for Mermaids. Everyone was laughing at me, calling me Ahab like I was searching for a white whale. Now you need to be punished before I display your mermaid form in the harbor... dead or alive."

When Evan woke up the lean-to had been smashed and the love of his life, Kiera was gone. His head was splitting with pain. He staggered to his feet and began looking around, but he saw nothing. He ran down to the ocean and continued to look around, but again saw nothing. Then he noticed some drag marks of a skiff in the sand.
It came to him in a flash. When he was on top of the mountain, he spotted a natural harbor and the entrance to the harbor was the only opening through the reef surrounding the island. That had to be where they had taken Kiera. He ran back to the lean-to and gathered a pair of goggles and a snorkel that he had salvaged from the beached boat debris. He assumed that the fishing boat would be anchored in the harbor, and he would need his snorkel and mask.
As he ran down the beach, he knew that this was a long shot, but at this moment it was the only shot he had. As he ran the throbbing in his head got worse and he would have stopped, but Kiera's life was in danger. As he rounded the bluff that led to the central mountain, he spotted a fishing trawler anchored in the middle of the bay and a lusciously naked Kiera was hanging from the mast.
Blood boiled in his veins as he saw his love hanging naked in the boat. Then a slob of a sailor walked over to her and began slapping and hitting her. His head and heart exploded watching this and he ran through the surf until it was deep enough to swim towards the boat. Evan had no idea what he was going to do but looking at the woman he loved being brutalized sent him into a rage.
He kept swimming with the occasional glance towards the boat. Kiera glanced towards him and when she saw Evan coming for her, gave the captain hitting her a brutal kangaroo kick. She knew there would be payment as the captain was sent spinning across the deck. She smiled at Evan before two sailors grabbed her legs and tied them spread eagle to the sides of the boat. After this the big man slapped her twat, then continued to slap and punch her like the cowardly bully he was.
One of the other sailors shouted and pointed to Evan swimming towards them. The captain turned away from Kiera and sent two of the sailors to get the skiff and go after Evan. A third sailor retrieved a rifle and pointed it at Evan. When he saw them coming, he slowed down while he worked on a plan.
