"Captain! We have another ship coming into range, they're trailing us."

Harry glared at Zayn as he took the binoculars into his hand and looked east. Just as the raven-haired man had suggested, there was a large ship.

"Does anybody recognise that ship?" Yelled Harry, all crew members looked east.

Liam bit his lip as he walked towards Harry, "it can't be..."

The captain chucked the binoculars at him. The Captain for the last month had been anything but kind. The loss of the caramel haired boy had affected him in ways he couldn't describe. He felt hollow. 

"That's hemmings, Harry...."

Harry's eyes widened, "drop the anchor. Prepare for a fight."

The captain stood on the deck as his men ran around collecting swords, sharpening them, dropping the sail and filling the cannons.

Harry hated Luke Hemmings, they were self-declared rivals. Anything Luke did, Harry did better - Hemmings and his crew were always one step behind Harry. The Captain smirked as the ship came closer, and closer.

"This... will be fun."

"Styles. Come aboard, I have something which will interest you, very very much." 

Both ships were parallel to one another, a mere five meters away from each other/

"Why would I do that now Hemmings? Knowing you, there is a trap down there. You can come aboard my ship. Afterall, I think you will find the One Direction is superior to whatever this trash you call a pirate ship is."

Harry was surprised as Luke didn't even frown, instead, he smirked. Not exactly the reaction he was expecting.

"Oh, Styles. I think it will be you who is begging at my knees and offering me gold."

Harry glared, walking to the very edge of the deck of his ship.

"You have nothing of value to me."

Luke laughed, menacingly throwing his head back, "bring him out, boys." Harry watched as Luke's men walked down to the lower level and not a second later were bringing out a bound Louis Tomlinson.

Gasps were heard from all members of the One Direction.

"Hemmings!" 

The man chuckled, "well I mean, he might as well just walk the plank. Because I wouldn't dare have anything valuable to you. Right, Harry?"

Harry growled as he stared into Louis' pretty blue eyes, "don't."

Luke smirked, "oh... so you're interested? I found him on blind Island. I know your crew was just there a few days ago, shame you must have missed him by this much." Luke held up two fingers with a small gap in-between.

"What do you want for him?"

Zayn walked forward, now staring into Louis' scared eyes. He sighed sadly, realising that his parents must have kicked him out after all. Charlotte sent him to Blind Island, just like she must have sent Louis.

"500 gold coins..."

Harry's eyes widened, "five hundred! No fucking way Hemmings, that's six years worth of treasure!"

Louis whimpered as luke snatched him into his arms, drawing his sword and placing it on Louis' neck.

"Don't you dare fucking hurt him, Hemmings."

"I don't see five hundred gold coins in my hands..."

Harry growled looking back at his crew, then towards Louis. If he gave Luke the coins he would be hurting his crew immensely, that's half of their gold. But, he missed Louis more than anything, who knew if Louis even wanted him?

"I want to speak with him first."

"Then you will come to my ship, not the other way around," Luke ordered, dropping his plank so it crashed against Harry's deck.

"On the condition that I bring my first man." Luke squinted at him, grunting out a single word, "fine."

With Zayn following along behind him, Harry walked with caution and determination onto Luke's ship. Nobody realised what would happen next.
