Wearing a satin pale pink gown, with sleeves that ended at the elbows before flaring out with golden lace, and was slightly puffy in the skirt, Princess Lillie sat in the garden of the palace, the only place she truly felt at home, reading a book. Her dark blonde hair in an up do, with some ringlets framing her face. She pictured the handsome hero in her head, tall and handsome, and the beautiful heroine, being looked at with the up most love and devotion by the hero as they walked off into the sunset. She knew that nothing like that would happen to her. She was too nervous and too shy to truly meet someone and fall in love. She knew that she would never meet a man who would love her for that. She would most likely enter an arranged marriage, and whoever the unlucky man was who would be forced into marriage with her, would most likely try to get out of it in whatever way he could. She knew she would be the 'maiden aunt' who was an old maid. She accepted that years ago. It was sad being a princess who never marries, but Lillie knew that it was true.

 

[TorvusVulpes]

The plans where set and ready to be executed, he looked over his crew they were all ready to make their move. "alright lads you remember what you are supposed to do, the kinds youngest princess is getting ready to be takin about a royal sloop to a neighboring kingdom to be set into an arranged marriage to the prince of spain to establish peace... when the ship sets you we'll gripple the sails, board the ship, you take the girl and bring her to me!" The crowd roars in excitement. He looks over at the helmsman. "Take us to the far side Mr. Hales we'll use the cliffs to hide the ship while we wait for the princess' ship, and then... we wait, remember to leaver survivors so they can return to their king so we can ransom her off or they will just take her for dead."


He turns toward the bow of the ship. "i'll be waiting in my quarters, when you have the princess bring her there, till then i'm gonna take a nap." He says as he heads into the ship to the captain's quarters.

As men came to take Lillie to the ship she would be sailing on for her arranged marriage, Lillie closed her book and dutifully went to say goodbye to her family. She embraced her father and brothers and curtsied before her mother and sisters, always having a much more distant relationship with them. She was led to a carriage that would take her to the docks. This was the first time she had left the palace in her entire life. The thought frightened her slightly. She made it to the ship and boarded. She was led to her room where she got settled in. She did not say a word to anyone throughout this time. She was too fearful, and naturally quiet to say anything. She felt bad for the man who would marry her. While she was beautiful, she was not as fun or lively as someone would wish for in a woman.

 

[TorvusVulpes]

As she ship left harbor the men got their weapons ready. They turned around the cliff towards the ship from the side. When they had the chance they changed their english flag to their actual flag and opened fire dropping shots into the side hull of the ship. Pirate quickly boarding and fighting across the ship yelling and screaming. Gunshots and swords clashing everywhere. The stench of blood mix with the ocean air and gunpowder in a matter of minutes. The captain's second in command Mr. Frtiz busts his way through the princess' chamber shooting down her personal guard in an immediate flick of the wrist before going over to claim her.

 

[SandraDeelightful]

Lillie jumped slightly when she heard the commotion outside her room. She was too scared to see what it was, so she stayed in her cabin. Upon the door being opened she jumped to her feet and backed up until she reached the wall. Her grey eyes were wide with fear and she looked like a scared little puppy.

 

[TorvusVulpes]

Fritz steps forward and without much worth slings her over his shoulder and carries her out making his way to the other ship. "Get the gangplank ready lads i've got what we came for lets set sail!" the men roar out knocking a couple of the remaining soldiers out. some of the men make a bridge so Fritz can carry her across. As they pass over the water one of her shoes falls from her foot into the ocean with a muted plop giving her a good idea as to how high up they really where from the water.

 

[SandraDeelightful]

Lillie let out a little scream when she was lifted up. She tried struggling and screaming, but gave up as she realized it was of no use. If her father had let her have sword lessons and training lessons like she asked, she probably wouldn't have ended up in this situation. She could have been a bit more forceful, but she was too dutiful. She would not force something if it was not wanted. Upon her shoe falling off and hitting the ocean, her eyes widened.

 

[TorvusVulpes]

She was brought through to the captains quarters and placed into a comfortable seat. "Here she is captain, the princess at your request."


Jareth sits in his chair the shadows hiding his features. "Thank you Fritz that will be all, see that the survivors are put on a life raft home... so they can let their king know of their daughters predicament."


Fritz nods. "Yes Captain..." Fritz steps outside. The muffled sound of his barking orders going off behind the door.


"Forgive my first mate's rough behavior, still doesn't know how to handle a lady... I am Captain Jack Dawson..." He leans forward the light shining revealing his face. "and welcome aboard The Lady Grim." He says with a soft but very purposeful smile.

 

[SandraDeelightful]

Lillie did not look at the captain. She was too scared, looking down at her hands and fiddling with her fingers. Her breathing was heavy and she looked terrified out of her wits.


"Why did you take me?" Lillie asked. Her voice was quiet and soft and she sounded just as terrified as she looked.

 

[TorvusVulpes]

His chuckle is tender and his voice is kind, completely unlike what one would expect of a pirate captain. "we plan on ransoming you for a lot of money so me and my crew can sit good for a long time," He sats leaning back in his chair.

 

[SandraDeelightful]

Lillie, who had been a bit tense, loosened up the tiniest bit. She wanted to say that she was worth less than her sisters, but she could never give away someone to save herself. She loved them, even though they did not love her.

 

[TorvusVulpes]

"i know this is all happening very fast, and you dont have to worry about a thing, no one is going to hurt you dear princess you are possibly on the safest vessel on the high seas right now." He stands up and walks over to her noticing her short a shoe. "We have some clothing that we keep aside in case a woman ends up aboard if you'd like me to escort you there." He offers trying to be nice to the woman.

 

[SandraDeelightful]

Lillie nodded and she stood up. She looked a little lopsided as her one shoe had a heel to it. She got on her tip toe to try and even herself out. "What makes you think this is the safest vessel at sea?" Lillie sounded timid and fearful, which was not unnatural for her.

 

[TorvusVulpes]

It actually felt nice to hear such a tender voice for one. Every girl he ever met was either a raunchy tavern wench or a stuffy noble. What made this girl so different. It didn't matter he was going to make her stay comfortable. He noticed her trying to sustain her step. "here let me help with that...." he says having her sit back down as he gently removes her shoe so she can walk appropriately. "That should do it... now lets get you some more comfortable clothes." he says holding his hand out like a gentleman.

 

[SandraDeelightful]

Lillie hesitated slightly, but grabbed his hand. All she could do now was hope for the best. She really didn't have any other option at this point. She knew her mother cared little for her and would do everything in her power to not pay whatever money this man wanted for her. "What will happen if the money is not paid?" Lillie asked fearfully.

 

[TorvusVulpes]

"Not sure, it's against my morals to harm women so its not like i can throw you overboard or something. The men might not be happy about it so i just have to hope that someone in your family will be willing to pay up." He says now thinking about the idea but he couldn't comprehend the idea that someone wouldn't pay to save their daughter. "But that shouldn't be a problem because no one would be that terrible as to not care enough about their own daughter to save them from pirates." He says confidently.

 

[SandraDeelightful]

Lillie looked frightened. She hoped her mother would let her father pay. She didn't want to think about what would happen if she couldn't get back to anyone. She knew she had to get to her fiance, whom she had never met. Perhaps her mother would allow her father to pay, knowing it would save an alliance.

 

[TorvusVulpes]

"If all else fails the king of spain should pay handsomely as you are to be his sons wife." He says as they make it to an are below decks. The room looks rather nice much nicer than what would seem. "You can use this ass you room for the time you have with us, there is clothing in the wardrobe you can use, you will be dining with me tonight so you may want to think about what you would like to wear then, just remember to dress comfortably this isn't a very great environment for noble fashion unless you want to deal with such discomforts." He says looking her over to see shes alright. Her timid and shy behavior felt refreshing but made him feel terrible. "try to wear a smile as well, you have to pretty of a face to not show your personality." he says with a soft tone. "now i'll leave you for now princess." he says just as he leaves the room.

 

[SandraDeelightful]

Lillie nodded, attempting a smile, but it came across as sad and fake. Once he was gone, she walked to the wardrobe. She picked out a simpler dress than she had been wearing. She had always preferred simpler things, but she never thought they would come to her like this. She took off her fancy dress and put on the simple dress. It was odd for her to dress herself, as she always had ladies maids to help her, but much more comforting.

 

[TorvusVulpes]

Later on it came to dinner. Fritz escorted her to the captain's quarters where a nice lavish meal was layed out on the table. "hello princess, you are looking rather beautiful this evening." He says giving her a soft smile. "Please sit down and enjoy yourself..." He says as he gestures at the seat next to him. The sounds of his men gathering out onto the main deck the sounds of singing and merriment outside. He pours a glass of wine and puts it in front of her.

 

[SandraDeelightful]

During her time alone, Lillie had let her hair down, letting her long dark blonde curls fall down her back. Lillie slowly walked over to the chair and sat down. "Oh, no thank you, sir," said Lillie quietly. "Papa has never let me drink."

 

[TorvusVulpes]

He nods and set the goblet to the side and sets a goblet with orange juice in it down. "this should be fin then i hope." He says as he sits back and takes a sip of wine. "i hope everything in your temporary room is to your liking princess, i appologize that it isn't much but, you dont have a lot to work with when it comes to a ship." He says chuckling a little.

 

[SandraDeelightful]

"Thank you," Lillie said as she took the goblet and took a sip. Lillie then answered quietly, "The room is fine, thank you. I was afraid I'd be held in the dungeons."

 

[TorvusVulpes]

"If this where a castle that would have been a possibility but a ship doesn't have a dungeon my dear, we have the brig, lucky for you i wont throw women into there mostly because he have all but one sell full of something." He says chuckling. He sits and eats quietly for a short while simply because he has nothing to bring to a conversation. The light caresses his features and highlights his hair adding an orangish glow making his long hair resemble that of fire. His silvery eyes seems to glance at everything with care and forethought even when doing something as simple as eating.
