I smirked. "Ye catch on quick, love. Nah, takin' ye back without gettin a ransom wouldn't be in me nature, savvy?" I said, and took the key from the dresser next to her. I held it up in front of her face and smiled. "Now, if I get you out of there, ye'll be nice, aye?"
--------------------------------------------------
I looked up at James and wiped my eyes. I hated Beckett so very much at this moment. Why wouldn't he just give us permission? Why was it so hard. "No, I am not alright! My sister could be dead and Lord Beckett is probably sitting in his house and drinking tea!" I said, and backed slightly away from James, holding my head in my hands. "I'm sorry, this isn't proper of me." I said. I didn't dare look at my father.

"Why would I be nice to some one who kiddnapped me?" I asked, glaring at him. I didn't want to hurt my chances but I didn't want to be nice to him either. I had no reason to. "I'll be nice if you promise not to rape me and you tell your crew the same." I said finally.
------------------------
Her father was glaring at her which angered me. It was as if he didn't even care that his daughter had been kiddnapped by pirates. "Don't worry. I'm sure we'll get notice that we can leave soon. And I will find her." I promised her. Just then the door opened and Beckett strolled in. He then preceded to tell us that we didn't have the man power to go after the pirates nor a lead to go on. They could be anywhere by now and it wasn't worth it. I was struggling to not to kill the man.

I shrugged and unlocked the chains. "Fair deal, love. My men an I aren't those kind of men, really." I said, and had to think about what I just said. Sure, there were plenty of men who would love to get their hands on her, but I made sure to tell them before not to touch anyone I took with me in my cabin. "I think ye should stay in here; safer that way." I said.
-----------------------------------------------
"Not enough man power! My Lord, surely you should care more about the woman in this town! Are we not the reason you men are even here? Oh, I cannot stand the way men think! If I were in power I would throw you on the sea to look for her yourself. My father is very rich; surely there is a way to... persuade you to agree to go after my sister." I said, on the verge of tears again.

"And what about you, Captain?" I asked, wondering if he was that kinda of guy. I frowned when he mentioned staying inside. "What do I have to worry about if they won't touch me? I don't do well stuck indoors all day. You don't want to have to deal with that later." I said, crossing my arms over my chest, happy to be free.
---------------------
I held a hand on her shoulder, hoping she would remember her place. As much as I understood her frustration with the man, I knew she shouldn't be speaking to him in such a manner. Beckett seemed amused. "I'm sorry Miss. Wellington. There's nothing I can do for you. We have no idea where to start looking. We haven't got enough men to search the entire ocean for one woman. I'll notify everyone to be on the look out but that's all I can do." He said and excused himself.

I sighed and looked at her. Of course she would prove to be difficult. "Well, there are some men I have here would love to get ye in their beds. But don't worry..." I said, and opened the door. Gibbs was standing there, waiting for my signal. "This 'ere is Gibbs, me first mate. If ye want ta be out on deck, he's gonna be with ye the whole time, savvy? It's fer yer protection, love." I said.
----------------------------------------------------
As soon as he left, I folded myself back into James' arms and cried. "This is all your fault, father." I said, turning to him. "You should have done something last night; I know the navy can work fast; we could have had a ship ready to go after her when she was taken. Excuse me, James, I must wash up if I am to get myself a crew." I said, knowing there was no way anyone would follow a woman out to sea to find her sister.

I sighed at the man before me but decided to be nice like I said I would. "Hello Gibbs. It's very nice to meet you." I said and curtsied politely. They both laughed and I blushed. "What?"
"She's gonna stand out a bit, eh Cap'n?" Gibbs said and they both left the cabin. I followed them out and listen to them. As I looked around the crew, watching them watch me, I started to get worried. I ran into Jack's back, not seeing that he stopped and fell over. I heard laughs all around me and blushed again.
---------------------
I raised an eyebrow at her and opened my mouth to speak but didn't know what to say. Her father turned and walked out the room. "I'll come pick you up in an hour. I'll have to talk to my men, see who would be willing to go against Beckett's words." I told her. I kissed her cheek and left. I was back before the hour was up with a list of men who agreed with me and were thouroughly pissed off at Lord Beckett. Gillette and Groves were with me when I re-entered my bride's home.

"Head up, darlin'. Or else ye'll be walkin right over the rail." I said with a chuckle. This should be fun, I thought, having a girl on board that was strictly off limits. When Anamaria was part of the crew all the men had made passes at her, trying to get her to be with them for the night, but at least she fought back against them. I didn't see this new girl capable of doing that. "What is yer name, love?" I asked, realizing I still didn't know.
--------------------------------------------
I couldn't believe James was willing to go against orders just for me, something that could cost him his rank, but I was pleased he was. I went upstairs and bathed quickly, having Edna pack a bag for me for what I told her would be for a trip my father authorized me to take to get my mind off of my sister. "James, I cannot thank you enough!" I said, seeing two men with him. "And thank you, as well." I said, curtsying at them.

I held my hand up, hoping he would help me. "My name is Olivia Wellington." I said, frowning as I realized I hadn't told him yet.
----------------
I smiled at her and pulled her into my arms. "I couldn't see you so upset." I turned to my men. "These are my two best men. Lt. Groves and Lt. Gillette. They're more than willing to help." I introduced.

I looked awkwardly at her hand. "Well, even yer name is rich soundin. I'm sure ye know who I am, so I won't bother telling you." I said, dismissing her hand. I looked at Gibbs, who rolled his eyes and helped her up.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I smiled at James, still thinking I was in a dream. We barely talked and here we were, engaged and going to find my sister together. "It is a pleasure to meet both of you. If you would give me a minute, I have a bag upstairs, and then we can leave." I said.

I glared at Jack. "Thank you Mr. Gibbs." I said and dusted myself off. "You've already said that. You're Captain Jack Sparrow. And yes, I've heard of you but I have no interest in you. Now if you'll excuse me." I said and walked away.
---------------------
I nodded and waited patiently for her to return. "You were right, Commodore. She's very beautiful indeed." Groves commented politely. "Thank you Lt." I said, and smiled as she came down.

My face dropped. Well, no one had ever talked to me like that on my ship before. "And where are ye headed? There's nowhere on me ship you can go without me findin ye. Sorry love, but until your father gives me the money I want your stuck here." I said, walking up to her.
------------------------------------------------------
I smiled back at James and nodded to the men. "My maid thinks my father knows I am leaving but I don't dare tell him. We should leave now before he comes." I said.

I rolled my eyes. "I'm walking away from you. I don't care how big your ego is, I don't want to listen to you." I said and walked to the bow of the ship.
-----------------------
I nodded. 'Yes, let's go before he stops us." I said and walked with them out of the house. We walked to the ship I had set up and I helped her on board "Go to my cabin while I take care of my crew, alright." I said to her.

I stopped dead in my tracks and looked at her, my eyebrows raised. "Met yer match?" Gibbs asked with a laugh. I just glared at him, shrugged, and followed her. "Aye, but some of the men. Ye don't listen too well, do ye?" I asked. "Only lookin' out fer ye."
------------------------------------------------------------
I nodded. "Of course. You have official business." I smiled and walked towards what I assumed was his room. I began putting my clothes into the dresser that was there, hoping James wouldn't find it rude I had begun taking over the space for his clothing.

I rolled my eyes. "Apparently neither do you. I just told you I don't want to listen to you." I sighed. "I'll stay on deck where you can keep an eye on me. Not that I think your crew would cross you. You don't seem like a forgiving man." I said, walking to the railing of the ship. I leaned against it and sighed. "What if my father doesn't offer any money?" I asked.
---------------------
I gave the orders and we set sail. I turned the ship over to Gillette and walked into my cabin, knocking quietly on the door before entering in case she was indecent. "Hello, Grace. I hope you don't mind sharing a cabin with me. I know it's improper, considering we are not yet married but this is the only cabin on the ship." I explained to her, moving to sit in my chair.

I leaned against the railing with her. "Well, guess ye'll be stuck here. Figure ye could cook and clean fer us." I said, smirking at her. She wasn't wearing a wedding ring so I doubted she could be tied down so easily and knew she would probably take offense to the jobs I had planned for her.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I listened to James' explanation and felt nervous. I had never shared a room with anyone before, except for Olivia when we were up late talking, no matter how much my father hated it. "That is fine, James. I suppose the chair would be rather comfy for a bed." I said, looking at the chair he was sitting in.
