Earning a Captain's Love {Kolath and Kanna}

[Kanna]

Ciar Coventry stood on the deck of her uncle'€™s ship, enjoying the hot sun and the gentle breeze that carried them toward their destination. Within the month, she was supposed to be married, though it was going to be hard without her mother being there. It had always been her mother'€™s dream to see her daughter get married to someone with a title. She sighed as she leaned against the rail, staring at the distant horizon. No, she was going elsewhere, to marry a man that she had never met, willing to take her despite her family'€™s money troubles. She glanced toward the stern of the ship when she saw something out there, but she brushed it off as nothing. It was probably just a bird, nothing important. It wasn'€™t until there was a call from the crow'€™s nest that she realized that it wasn'€™t nothing. Ciar was rushed below deck by several of her uncle'€™s men. She sighed softly and sat on her bed, waiting for something to happen. She worried for her uncle, but there wasn't anything she could do right now.

That thing she had seen back there was not nothing. It was another ship more importantly a pirate ship. It was sleek and fast and though her uncle tried to run the ship was still able to catch up with him without any trouble. There was a short cannon battle mostly with the stern and bow chasers of both ships. It was when the pirate ship got a solid hit on her ships mast that finished the chase. In moments the pirate ship pulled alongside and the boarding action began. The sounds of battle could be heard outside her cabin as the crew fought hard to keep them back.
