he didn't come out at all he stayed below deck he didn't even come up to see me he saw no one he didn't give any orders what so ever I must have hit a nerve or brought back some bad long forgotten memory and as time ticked by the more it bit at me, Rikardo whats wrong with me calling him that I pursed my lips then straightened

"Gallent?" I called "come up here 'because I want to probe you for answers' please?"

"busy" he called back

"now Gallent" I yelled

I didn't get an answer I didn't hear him come up I sighed irritated I turned to the stairs and marched down them I spotted Gallent who had his back to me the crew who were facing me smiled

"you should have gone when you were called Gallent" Barium said

as I grabbed Gallent by the arm there were chuckles from the crew as I tried to drag him off

"what do you want?" he sighed

"can't you just go willingly and unquestioningly with the person who's dragging you?" I grumbled

"no"

"Gallent!" I growled

"I said no" I sighed irritated even more

"no wonder you don't have a girl yet" I seethed forcing all my weight forwards " you refuse to do what your told by the oppisite sex"

my comment earned loud hysteric laugh from the crew as some of the held their sides like they were about to explode

"well I do" he said "she's trying to drag me at this current time"

"Gallent" I growled again "come with me or I'm going t----"

"fine" he said quietly knowing where I was going with this conversation

he allowed me to pull him behind me he was blushing crimson from the laughs he was receiving all the way up the stairs where I sat on the ground with a yawn

"sit" I said motioning him down "I'm not standing any more"

he blinked a few times then lowered himself slowly to the ground crossing his long legs he stared at me

"what do you want with me Kitten?"

and I said one simple word that made his face drop and his body tense and his calm brown eyes glow with anger and frustration

"Rikardo"

"shit Angel he said you didn't call him that did you?" I grimaced

"I kinda did" I said

"fuck" he said I recoiled at his language

"why?" I asked

"he hates that name"

"but why gallent?"

"because his mother use to call him that before she died"

I paused allowing everything to sink in I blinked a few times stiffening

"how do you know all this" I asked cautiously

"I know because I use to be his servant" he smiled as he watched my eyes widen

"what are you saying gallent?" who continued to smile

"just like you little one rikard was of royal blood don't let him know I told you because he will most certainly kill me" I frowned

"I will most certainly kill him" I gritted out

I stood up and walked down the stairs to the last place I saw him go well to the only place he would go when he was upset ... his room. I stormed in without knocking and he jumped out of his skin as I stormed over to him

"angel" he said quickly "why do you look so a---"

"your a fricken prince?"

his eyes widened with surprise as he grabbed me pulling me closer covering my mouth with his hand his face darkened causing me too stiffen I hated that look especially when it was directed at me

"I never wanted you to know I never wanted you to treat me differently when you said you ran away from a kingdom I knew straight way you would never want a prince"

I nipped his hand hard and he jerked it away holding it closer to him

"why the hell didn't you tell me?" he pulled me closer his hands holding me by the waist 

"first things first" he growled "who the hell told you?, I bet it was gallent when I get my hands on him I'm going t---"

I kissed him hard silencing him his hands gripped my waist tightly

"does it look like I care who the hell you are?" I said as I pulled away

"no" he breathed his eyes glassy with lust and adoration

"good" I said

he kissed me again his fingers needing the muscles along my back

"your so tense" he said through kisses

he pushed me back against the wall the ship rocked a little harder and he stopped I blinked a few times breathing hard and shaking from the adrenaline 

"some ones attacking the ship" he said

888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

my eyes widened with surprise how the hell he knew this was a surprise to me their ship grated close to ours and I winced rikard grabbed khan, forum, barium and gallent he brought them into a tight little group and started whispering harshly to all of them he pointed to me and they nodded khan stepped over to me and I sighed as he drew his sword

"I guess I just became your body guard" he told me

"great" I said

one of the enemy came at khan taking his attention away from me as another one came at me I reached for my sword pulling it out only to have the person struck down in front of me I sighed as another one came for me gallent moved in front of me to protect me

"really?" I said as he cut him down

"yes" he said captains orders

"I thought I was captain?" I complained

"the coin toss said otherwise little one"

I raised an eyebrow then suddenly people flooded between me and gallent while khan and the others were preoccupied so I had to protect myself which I was much happier doing than having to watch other people protect me I injured the people in front of me allowing gallent and the others to finish them off walked a little further until I was right in the action I felt someone loom over me my heart began to beat faster with anticipation as I turned slowly too see a man who looked to be in his early thirties with big with broad shoulders he held a sword against mine

"Harley" I heard someone say he struck my sword hard

"angel" gallent yelled as I fell back blinking with surprise

"weak female" he chuckled

I furrowed my eye brows striking at him hard forcing him back he jumped with my sudden anger as he blocked my hit and his eyes strayed to the ring on my finger he chuckled

"I heard he got married but to you that seems unlikely"

his eyes strayed again to my stomach and realisation seemed to dawn on him he smiled wickedly as he continued to strike at me

'I should have stayed in bed' I thought to myself

"though your a feisty female how does Ricky feel about you being out here unprotected princess?"

"I" I hit his sword "don't" I hit it again "know"

his sword hit mine hard causing me to fall back against the wall and I slowly began to realise how quiet the deck had gone Harley must of as well as his eyes slowly widened and he swallowed hard looking back he cringed

"it's over  Harley" I heard rikard say

the crew surrounded me and Harley and I slowly got to my feet but he his head snapped back to me and he pointed his sword at my chest rikard tensed and so did most of the crew I took a few slow and easy breaths as I tried not too panic. my chest had not completely healed yet. he chuckled swirling the tip of the sword around my chest area right above my wound and my heart

"it may be over but if I'm going down"

he stopped swirling the sword and shifted the point directly over my heart and my eyes widened rikard went to step forwards I shot khan a look and he blocked him rikard sent me a you-better-know-what-your-doing look as Harley smirked at him

"I'm taking her with me"

and with that he stabbed the sword into my chest I shifted side ways and hoped it just missed my heart he pushed it all the way in I cried out in pain and watched as gallent came from the side and struck Harley down and rikard ran over to me as Harley fell to the ground with a cry rikard cupped my face in his hands I felt tears of pain come to my eyes one fell down along with a massive amount of blood rikard wiped my stray tear away and I quickly blinked away the rest of them. rikard kissed my forehead then looked to the sword then to Harley I looked up the sword

"that hurt a lot more then I thought it would" I got out

"you stupid girl" he hiss

as he looked up the sword then he looked to Harley

"I hope he burns in hell and lives in Davie Jones locker for all eternity" he cursed looking to me

I smiled amused at his threat or curse he smiled a little back before he looked to the sword he sighed resting his forehead against mine
