Chapter 31 - Chapter 31: Help

I shook again and he kissed my neck. I tried to push out of his grip, and he quickly turned me around, forcing himself against my back, continuing to kiss my neck. I struggled again and he pushed me to the wall harder. "Never thought a unicorn could be so aggressive." He tightened his grip on my wrists. "I will break you, beautiful mare. You are mine." I gave in to his strength and closed my eyes tight. 'He's... So close...' He then pressed his pelvis against the back of my hips and I shook again. "Ah..."

He moved one hand to my waist and held me to him. "You're not only valuable, you're also beautiful, and the fact that you're only wearing a dress of old delicate leaves is turning me on so bad." He then slid his hand back up to my shoulder, and pulled off the strap of my dress. "No..." He then took me off the wall and pulled me to force on the bed.

He took my wrists again and pressed his lips against mine climbing on top of me. His chest brushed along my breasts, and he pushed my legs apart with his knee. I held my eyes closed, too afraid to open them. 'Why do things like this suddenly always happen to me?! How far is he going to go...? There's no one that can help me now...'

Suddenly, the door swung open and a member of the crew came in hurriedly. I opened my eyes and the captain quickly sat up. "Oh for christ sake you build rat!! Did you ever learn to knock??!!" He shuttered hearing his voice raised. "S-Sorry captain, but we have a problem!" The captain sighed. "I'm busy right now! Could this really not wait an hour or two?" My eyes widened. 'Wait WHAT?!' My blush deepened and the crew member answered.

"No sir, there is plenty of breeze through the sails, but we're not moving. It's like the current around the boat completely stopped, and is holding the ship back!" The captain looked to him surprised. "What?!" He then turned back to me and his eyes narrowed. "Don't move. I'll be right back." He smiled evilly and got up, brushing a finger along my nipple making me shutter.

He left the room taking his hat, and locked the door behind him. I exhaled loudly in relief. 'What's with all the close calls?! Well, I shouldn't get my hopes up, because he's most likely going to come back and finish what he started.' I sighed, my heart still beating out of my chest. I got sad again remembering that I was all alone and had nobody anymore.

I sank into the bed like depressed liquid and started to think about what the crew member said. 'What was the emergency again? I wasn't paying much attention over my shock of the captain touching every inch of me.' I tried to remember anyway. 'I heard that the current wasn't working. That couldn't be it, otherwise that would mean Cienar was still-' My thoughts were interrupted to a knock on the window.

I sat up and couldn't believe what I saw. I ran over to the window where Cienar was standing on some water in his siren form. "Cienar!!" I ran so fast I almost fell. I reached the window and pressed my hands against the glass. 'Am I dreaming? Is he really here and alive?' I couldn't hold back my tears seeing him. He smiled at me and put a finger to his lips telling me to be quiet. I nodded returning his smile and he bended the water he was standing on to move out of my sight and on deck. I covered my mouth losing my breath. 'I can't believe he's here! Are the others alive too?'

I then heard some ruckus outside my door and a clank of metal. The door unlocked and Arine came in looking around hurriedly. He stopped when he saw me and I ran over to him hugging him tight. "Arine!!" He hugged me back with one hand and I realized he was holding a sword in the other. I let him go and he wiped the tears from my cheek.

"Are you okay? Did he do anything to you?!" I blinked. 'He would've if he wasn't interrupted... But I can't tell Arine that or he'll kill him!' "No... I was just held captive." His expression turned to relief. "Good. I'm glad you're not hurt." I hugged him again. "I am too! I thought you were dead! Is Ikko alive as well?!" He nodded. "Yep. And as obnoxious as ever. He's on deck zapping the hell out of the pirates with his magic. It's really funny to watch!" I smiled and let him go.

Arine then took my hand and quickly led me up the stairs. When we were on deck I saw Ikko zapping the pirates like Arine said. Even though his lightning was smaller, it was still effective. I looked over and saw Cienar back in his normal form fighting some pirates with his staff. He was winning but then I saw the captain draw his sword behind Cienar, raising it up to strike.

"Cienar! Lookout!!" I yelled hoping that he would react in time. He heard me and quickly turned around to block his blow. Then a blade shot out of the bottom of his staff, and he countered the captains sword. The captain didn't faulter and continued to fight. He was better than Cienar and moved faster making him stumble back. I knew that if I just stood there and watched, Cienar would lose and the captain would kill him. Without thinking, I grabbed a sword that was sticking out of a barrel next to me and ran to help him.

Arine started to fight some more pirates and didn't notice me leave. Cienar was struggling and then the captain knocked his staff out of his hand, making him fall down. The captain was about to swing his sword to kill him, but I immediately blocked it with mine, pushing him back. Both of them were surprised to see me, but I ignored it and stood firm. "I'm not going to let you kill my friends again!" I held up the sword to him, but I really didn't know what I was doing. 'I've never sword fought before! I have no idea what to do now! But I do know that I will do anything to protect my friends.'

The captain's surprise turned into a smirk. "Alright. Let's see what you can do." He immediately swung at me and I blocked it almost tripping over my own feet. I got my balance again only for him to strike again and make me stumble. He was obviously confident by now and I was hanging on for dear life.

'I need to focus or we're all dead.' I found my strength and fought back. Cienar got up and was still speechless. Everyone else saw us and were intrigued by our fight. The captain's confidence fell more as we fought and mine grew. 'I can't believe I've lasted this long!' I struck back cutting his hand, but he didn't even flinch, and kept fighting. 'I've been able to hold my own this long, so I think it's about time I did something really stupid.'
