Thank you so much for reading and I really hope you like it! this one has seriously taken me forever to finish, but I really hope its worth the wait. Please let me know if you like this AU or kind of thing. As Always please keep comments clean and Patton-friendly!

Warnings: hitting/slapping/pushing, the pirates just being really mean and toxic, so just warning. Angry Logan. mentions of not enough food, seasickness/vomiting. cliff hanger.

Patton so far was the only person to treat you with any amount of respect or kindness. the correct royal was kidnapped and you were in the middle of the ocean. Logan was always nasty towards you, and made you a part of his crew, cleaning up things, with the idea that if you are eating then you must earn your food.

Roman, Remus and Virgil, all really disliked you, as it was because of you they were called dunderheads. Remus had "accidently" bumped into you a few times, knocking you into the mast, bruising you. Roman had "accidently" spilled some dirty water from Remus room all over your only set of clothes, and Virgil... we he just scared the bran muffins right out of you.

Janus didn't really care about you, but he was often kicked your washbucket while passing back. he didn't have a good gut feeling about you, and his gut feelings were usually right. you were sore tired and miserable, and if that wasn't enough, your royal was awful to you.

the only thing that kept you going was the days where you cleaned the kitchen, where Patton was, he smiled you sweetly every time. letting you tastetest his food, and smiled at your opinion. whether good or bad. you enjoyed it.

today was one of the worse days. Roman had tripped you on some stairs and you landed definatly getting some bruises, and lucky you didn't break anything. you stood up and dusted off your pants, tears welling in your eyes as you remembered again this was just your life.

you continued walking down the hall towards the closet with the sponge and bucket. you opened the door and leaned in, not spotting the figure behind you. you felt a swift kick to the back of your knees making your cry out in pain, as you were falling to the floor, but someone caught the collar of your shirt, throwing you against the wall

you looked up to see the captain himself a very angry look in his eye, as he glared down at you. he leaned down to your level, very close, the fire still in his eye.

"don't you dare speak to Patton again." he hissed, pressing a threatening finger against your chin as you nodded softly. he stepped back, still glaring before kicking over a small waste bin, spilling it all over the floor. for you to clean up.

you worked all day, a barely got an food for it, before being escorted by Virgil to the cell they kept you in, he threw you in, you landing on the floor, as Virgil slammed the door, locking it, his eyes glowing before finding your royal and tossing them in the cell as well.

from then on they screamed and yelled at you, before getting seasick like they did everyday. the complained about Logan and Janus both questioning asking secrets of the kingdom, and how awful their life was. 

you just curled up, trying to ignore the smell of their seasickness, of the nice smells coming from the kitchen. you didn't notice Patton walked over before whispering to you, like it did, you knew your royal loved him, as they crawled right up to the bars while you just sat there.

"hey, y/n." Patton whispered, but you didn't respond. hating everything. as you were calculating a plan in your head. you couldn't do this anymore, and tomorrow, you wouldn't have to. you could finally get back to normal, on dry land.

it was a normal day, Logan had moved you from cleaning the kitchen to working on the upper decks, where the rest of the crew was constantly working. Remus began taunting you, while Roman and Virgil were nasty. Janus walked out of Logan's quarters kneading his head before kicking your bucket again, splashing the awful water into your face. 

you saw Logan dragging the royal out of his quarters, while they screamed of how he would pay, Logan just rolling his eyes. you managed to quickly run into Logan's quarters, your head pounding as you dug in his drawer for the key to your cell.

your fingers wrapped around it just as the doorknob started turning. you quickly ran to the other side of the room, quietly. pretending to be looking for something.

"what are you doing in here?" Logan's harsh voice rung out, as you turned quickly, trying to hide the fear, as you turned around Logan storming towards you. his eye lighting up with an anger you haven't yet seen. he was... terrifying.

"I ran out of the cleaning supplies and I was just seeing of there was any more in here." you lied, but Logan didn't seem to catch on, and luckily Janus was elsewhere and couldn't sense it. Logan eyes darkened.

"Never step foot in this office again." Logan said angrily, roughly grabbing a handful of your hair and tossing you out and onto the floor, you were brushed and his scalp ached badly, but it was worth it, you had the key.

you continued cleaning, concealing it and praying Virgil or Janus wouldn't notice. it was a long day and Roman and Remus were angry already, which meant they both screamed at you a lot more. but soon enough the day was done... finally.

you found the royal pouting, and crying while you just tried to curl up in your corner, tears leaking down your face as you couldn't keep them in any longer. soon enough you would be free. you ignored Patton again as he walked over, squating by the bars. you didn't notice how his gaze filled with pain at the purple bruises.

he finally walked off and the night began. the night filling with darkness and the soft breaths of the those asleep, the undisturbed splash of waves against the side of the boat. this was your moment.

when everything was silent you took the key, unlocking the cell door, and relocking it. standing alone as you softly walked throughout the ship, grabbing some food from hte kitchen and heading out to the abandoned upper deck.

the night was quiet and cool as you walked to the escape boats, moving them with quiet grunts, moving and lowering them and getting prepared to leave. you were just about to climb into the boat when a hand grabbed your wrist.

"what do you think your doing?"
