Baron, Francisco, Francisca, and I unsheathed our weapons and had our backs to each other. Henry and his crew watched us with smiles on their scarred faces. I only had a dagger in my hand as my pistol had been previously compromised by Henry. I looked to see that it was past daybreak. The crew members should be waking up soon.
More of Henry's men began to jump on the deck. Confusion filled me.
Where the hell were they all coming from?
I was too afraid to lean over the railing and get a sword impaled in my forehead. I truly felt afraid for the first time as this was my first pirate fight or "scuffle".
Henry cleared his throat before pointing both of his swords at us.
"Are you still not going to back down my dear?"
I shook my head. We can not afford to lose the small amount of food and money that we currently have now. It would be as if I was handing over our lives for a soul contract.
