Chapter 8 Blackbeard [R] [L]


A/N: This chapter was done by both Ranya and I. Enjoy! 

After a few weeks of grasping how the ship and crew works, Evynne was flourishing as a Pirate Princess.

But all of that was to come to a striking halt when another ship crossed the horizon, straight into the path of the Jolly Roger.

"All hands on deck, lads." Killian shouted over the sounds of the harsh waves. "We've got company."

Evynne joined him at the helm, looking out to where Killian was glaring.

"Who is it?" She asked, but Killian didn't seem to be listening. "Killian. Who's ship is that?"

"Blackbeard." He growled.

It wasn't long before his ship; the Queen Anne's Revenge hauled up alongside the Jolly Roger.

Boarding the ship, Blackbeard had a classically smug look on his face as he looked between Killian and Evynne.

"Greetings, Hook." He loudly spoke. "And you must be Princess Evynne."

He bowed over-dramatically in her direction.

"That's me." Evynne scowled.

"Your father sends his regards." The Captain continued.

"My father sent you?" Her eyebrows knitted together in confusion.

"Since when did you run errands for royalty?" Killian scoffed, folding his arms over his chest.

"Since he offered me enough gold to almost sink my ship. Almost." Blackbeard strutted along the main deck towards the helm stairs with a smug and malicious smirk spread across his face.

"Like hell are you taking her." Killian boomed, drawing his sword as he moved in front of his Princess defensively.

"I'm afraid I am, Hook – and if I have to go through you to do so, all the more fun for me." Blackbeard chuckled, not seeming threatened by his fellow captain in the slightest.

At that moment, the Jolly Roger's crew all drew their swords, causing Blackbeard's lot to do the same.

"You'll have to go through all of us." Mr Smee said.

Blackbeard burst into laughter, entirely unphased by the threat.

"Then it would seem that would be the case." The evil captain drew his weapon and pointed it in Killian's direction. "I'll be sure not to get any of your blood on your Princess' boots."

Killian launched off of the helm stairs straight at Blackbeard.

All Evynne could do was watch on in horror.

The lunges and dodging of blades had her on edge and feeling awfully helpless.

Learning how to keep a ship in shape was one thing, but she was yet to be able to properly defend herself.

As fights went on between the two crews, Evynne watched intently on the two captains.

Near miss after near miss caused her to wince, thinking several times that Blackbeard had managed to pierce Killian, but not.

Eventually, it all came to a crashing end when Blackbeard elbowed Killian in the face, knocking him to the floor.

"Killing you would prevent us having more fun like this. For now I'll just send you to sleep whilst I steal your precious Princess." He said, his blade under Killian's chin.

Blackbeard then used the pommel of his sword to hit Killian on the head, knocking him out instantly.

"Killian!" Evynne cried, running to her beloved Pirate.

Blackbeard's crew held Killian's at bay as their Captain grabbed Evynne by the arm, dragging her away from her beloved's unconscious body.

Evynne growled and twisted in Blackbeard's grasp.
"Unhand me!" She shrieked at him.
Blackbeard chuckled "No, I don't think I will." He said Evynne kicked him in the knee causing him to loosen his grip on her arm. She pulled herself free and picked up a discarded cutlass from the deck pointing it at him with shaking hands.
"You won't take me." She said glancing back at Killian who was still unconscious.

Blackbeard laughed as he stalked towards her.
"Put that thing down, before you hurt yourself sweetheart." He winked.
Evynne screamed and slashed at him with the sword. Blackbeard sighed and raised his sword knocking the sword out of her hands.
"I don't care what my father offered you, I will not go back there!" Evynne spat.
"You don't have a choice." He said and nodded at one of his men.
Evynne felt something hit the top of her head, hard. Her vision blurred and she crumpled to the deck unconscious.
"You imbecile! The deal was she would be unharmed!" Blackbeard growled
"For all the King knows, Hook did it." The man shrugged and lifted Evynne's lifeless body over his shoulder.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Killian blinked his eyes open and sat up with a dull ache in his head. He looked around his ship, a few of his men were in pretty rough shape, Billy was helping to tend to their wounds. As he looked around, he noticed one thing was horribly wrong. His princess was nowhere to be seen.
"Evynne!" He shouted and scrambled to his feet. "Evynne!" He shouted again.
"He took her." Mr. Smee said solemnly. "She put up a bit of a fight, but one of Blackbeard's men knocked her out and they took her."

Killian growled "How long ago?"
"You've been out for an hour. At least." Smee frowned.
"Gather the men who are un wounded, get the ship ready to sail. We're turning around."
"Sir we won-"
"If the words, We won't catch them leave your lips Mr. Smee they will be the last words you speak. Blackbeard is likely to stop at the nearest port city to boast about his victory. We will catch up with them there, and I will get my Princess back if I have to gut every last one of his crew to do it." Killian snarled and took his spot at the helm.
"Yes sir!" Smee said and hurried off to get the rest of the crew.
Killian looked out at the sea with his spyglass. He hoped Evynne was okay and he hoped that she didn't think he wouldn't be coming for her.
"Just hold on Evynne.." he muttered.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Evynne woke up and rubbed the top of her head. She looked around, but couldn't see much. It was dark and the only bit of light coming through was from the cracks in the deck above her. She was in the cargo hold. She walked up the steps to the hatch and tried to push it open but it was locked. She screamed and hit the hatch with her fist.
"Let me out!" 


She heard footsteps coming her way and the hatch swung open and she was face to face with a horrid looking man. His face looked like he'd been attacked by an animal.
"Captain says to stop screaming down here, or he'll have you gagged." 


"He wouldn't." Evynne huffed. "And if he were any sort of Captain he would address me himself!"
"Better watch that tongue. I'd hate to have to mess up such a pretty face by cutting it out." He grinned and held up a dagger to Evynnes face. Evynne almost fell down the stairs to get away from him. These were the pirates her father had always warned her about and she realized, she had been incredibly lucky to have crossed paths with Killian, instead of any of these men or this would have been an entirely different adventure. The hatch closed and Evynne was left in darkness again.

She sat down against the wall and pulled her knees up to her chest resting her chin on them. This couldn't be how it ended. It couldn't be over so soon. The reality that her adventures with Killian could very well be coming to an end hit her in the chest like a sack of rocks and she felt like she couldn't breathe. Tears free flowed down her cheeks.

The hatch was opened again and there were footsteps on the stairs. Blackbeard walked into the room with a lantern, and a canteen of water. Evynne looked up with teary eyes. He fake pouted at her tear stained cheeks.
"Oh come now, its not that bad. Soon you'll be tucked away in your nice big bed, with people attending to your every need."
"I left all of that by choice." Evynne muttered and looked away.
"Your father thinks you were kidnapped, but as soon as I stepped foot on the Jolly Roger I knew better." Blackbeard said.


"I love my father, but he is dense. How did he even come to the conclusion I was kidnapped?"
"Apparently it wasn't him, but a Prince...James I think it was. He said that it was odd that the pirate ship at port left around the same time you did."
Evynne rolled her eyes. Of course it was James.
Blackbeard offered her water but she shook her head.
"I don't want anything from you." She spat.


"Its quite a journey back to your kingdom. I promised your father you'd be returned safely."
"You're not very smart for trusting him." Evynne said. "My father hates pirates. If you think you are coming out of this ordeal alive, you're a madman. Why do you think my father was in such a rush to marry me off? My kingdom is falling. The unity between James and I was supposed to restore my kingdom. He promised you enough Gold to almost sink your ship, the problem is... he doesn't have it."

"You're lying to me, to get me to decide not to deliver you back to your kingdom." Blackbeard said and shook his head. "You're father said you could be manipulative." He smirked. "Good try."
"I'm trying to keep you from wasting your time and your life. You've been fooled. The second you hand me over, my father will have a noose around your neck. I have a satchel full of gold, and jewels from my kingdom on the Jolly Roger. Take me back there and at least you get something out of this."

"You do realize, that by telling me that your father has no intentions on paying me for your safe return, that there is nothing to stop me from killing you myself?" He asked leaning in close. Evynne could see the dangerous gleam in his eyes. "So if you are not lying to me, you are no longer of use to me."
Someone ran down the steps.
"Captain we've got Sails coming in fast on the port side. Its the Jolly Roger."
Blackbeard's grin only grew.
"Well good. Old Hook will have a front row seat for his love's execution. Bind her hands, bring her up." He instructed and hurried back up to the deck, leaving Evynne wondering what the hell she had just done.
