When very young I was a pirate for nearly ten years and I commanded my own crew and ship. I was pardoned by the King of England. I can't tell you which one because it just isn't done. Pirates walk the plank or are hung. I gave my ship to my second in command and it still flies the flag and prowls the seas and there are times I wish it was still mine. I work on ships as a Mate and I enjoy it.
I have been 1st mate on the Anna Bella for nearly 2 years now and we had left port from London A month ago. Our cargo was mixed but we were hauling a good load for the pirates if they knew. Plus we were invaded with one of the Kings' nieces. She was young beautiful and a complete pain in the ass. She has three hand maidens to care for her, which were also beautiful too. And One of them was holding onto my heart.
I was keeping a sharp eye out on this trip as I had more to lose on this one. The woman I loved being on board. We were out three weeks when the ship was sited following us. I got the glass out and could see it was a gun ship and it carried colors Skull and crossed bones. I called for all my sails. We had just gotten to a good pull when the Captain counter maned my command and we pulled our sails.
He was going to surrender to them. I was not. I had a hole to hide in deep in the hold back in a corner where I met Lila the hand maiden I so loved. I needed to get to her before we were taken. But the Kings Guard had already sealed the quarters where they were.
As they came along side I slipped into my hidden place and hid. I could hear them taking the ship from the captain and crew. They came down into the hold and I could hear them looking over the goods stored down there. They didn't look deep enough to find me. I couldn't hear what was going on top side so I dressed in my old Pirate garb and began to slip up out of the hold. Nobody seemed to pay any attention to me as I came up on deck. I was just another pirate and I fit in quite well.
I saw them break into the cabin quarters of the niece of the King And their guard stood fast but they were taken down. They dragged the women out onto the upper deck. I saw their Captain motion to them to take the girls over to his ship. He and I both followed as they dragged them onto his ship.
"To the masts."
I knew exactly what this was and for the life of me I could not find a way to prevent it. I could yell the Kings Niece but that likely would only expose myself. So I just followed along. I could only watch as they stripped the four girls naked and began fixing them to the masts for their gang raping. The men were stripping their cloths off and arguing about which female they wanted first.
