Anna listened to him as he spoke she didnt speak in return. Just nodded and looked at him she wondered why he wouldnt let them take her or give her up. But she didnt ask she just simply looked out at the sea. Waiting for them to walk the plank.

*next early morning*
Julian and Anna were taken to the deck. Julian looked around and saw the whole crew gathered there. He looked to the side and could see the rocky isles in the distance. Brent had stayed away from the dangerous rock bed so as not to risk the ship. Julian walked freely to the plank that had been set for them, leading in front of Anna. He took off his har and held it for a while then handed it to Brent.
Brent spoke as he put the captain's hat, "Ladies first..." He grinned as the rest of the crew laughed. Julian simply looked back at Anna.

Anna followed close behind Julian with her hand hovering over her swords hilt just in case any of the crew members tried anything funny with her. She walked up to the plank and looked at Brent as he spoke and glared at him as he grinned to the other cre members. Anna walked to the edge and undid her belt and sword so it was easier for her to swim. She held her belt and sword in hand and jumped off the plank and began to swim away from the ship not waiting for Julian.

Julian watched Anna bravely jump off the plank without a word and began swimming away. He didn't get a chance to turn and face Brent one last time when he heard a gunshot and a searing pain in his left shoulder. His loyal first mate and the new captain of The Blue Shark had shot him in the back taking even his crew by surprise.
Julian lost his balance and hit the water hard, the salt water burning his new wound. He struggled to stay above water with only one arm to swim. He didn't bother looking back and just started moving slowly towards the isle, wanting desperately to get out of the water that would become his grave if he passed out of the pain or blood loss.

Anna was still swimming towards the isle when she heard the sound of gun shot. She quickly turned to see Julian falling off the plank and wincing in pain as swam in the water. She swam back towards him and put his wounded arm around her and helped him swim to the shore. Her sword and his body weighing her down but she made it to the shore. But by the time they reached shore Julian had lost a lot of blood. Anna picked him up and carried him on her back to a near by tree. She sat him against the tree then noticed the Island looked familiar it was the same Island her father had gotten stranded on she noticed the beat up dingy against the rocks.
Although it was old and mossy and the wood was rotten she recognized the boat from her fathers stories the name was still legible "Serenity Rose" Anna then had and idea and began walking around looking up into the trees she then found the tree she was looking for. It was a large palm tree with a chest hanging from it, she climbed the tree and and lowered the chest to the ground and jumped down. She then untied a small ribbon from her neck that had a skeleton key on it and unlocked the chest. Inside was a huge selection of rum.
She pulled out one of the bottles and walked back over to Julian tyeing the key back on her neck. She sat down next to him told him lay down, and she opened the bottle of rum and drank sum before pouring it on his gun shot wound. She then untied her shirt and ripped a piece off then tied it back up and wrapped up his wound. "There good as new." She said with a smile as she pushed him back up against the tree. "so what was that all about?" She asked.

Julian had almost passed out and didn't know exactly how he made it to the shore. He winced and woke up as the rum hit his wound. She dressed the wound and he felt better resting his back against the tree. He didn't know the answer to that question. "I think he wanted to leave me with a parting gift" , Julian guessed as he looked at the ship sailing away from him in the distance. He looked back at Anna and spoke, "Thank you Anna, you saved my life. I guess we are even now."
He looked around and saw the chest and gave Anna a curious glance. "Care to explain how you got your hands on the rum so fast?"

Anna tilted her head when he gave an explanation about the gun shot. "ah." She smiled "well a life for a life"She looked at the chest and smile "oh that...well my father was pirate The Dread Pirate Roberts he was stranded on this Islands all he had was his gun and chest of rum in his dingy...thats it over there. He hid the chest in one of the trees so i went looking for it and found it." She said with a smile.

His jaw almost dropped to the sound on to the sand when he heard her explanation. "Your father was... the Dread Pirates Roberts?", he asked with surprise in his voice. He had only heard stories about the pirate that was said to rule the seas a long time back. He smiled after a while as he connected the pieces in his head. "Well, now I know how you are so good with the sword and the gun. It's known that Roberts died a long time ago. I still can't believe it. You are full of surprises Anna."
He paused and his smile dissapeared after a while. "My real name is Julian. You are the third person in the world who knows that name now. The other being Doc. I realize now what I am facing. I am sure both the commodore and your father are looking for me now."

Anna smiled "yeah he taught me everything he knew. He didnt actually die that was just what was said he met my mother the same way you met me he then fell in love with her one thing lead to another and they had me. He then retired but told his crew to spread the rumor that he died, he couldnt have a story about him falling in love and having a child. She said that he died." She said with a smile.
"I like that name... its strong powerful and yet sensitive and romantic." She inched closer to him on the last part of her sentence still smiling her smile disappeared as he mention the commidor and her father looking her. "No the commidor his mostly likely sending out his four fastest ships to find me and take me back to his lair. My father is most likely calming my frantic mother down and putting together a new crew to find me but different reasons, he knows that this is what I've wanted since i was born after all i spent three years of my life on his ship. So he's just trying to find me to see if im alright. That he knows that I am not happy marrying that slime ball of commidor Edward." She said frowning at the thought of him.

He smiled as she drew closer. For once he felt comfortable with someone else and he liked the feeling. It told him he was still human and not just a rampaging monster that the stories made him out to be. He had almost started believing them. He looked at Anna and asked, "You could just reject him in front of everyone and that would have been the end of it. If your father is with you, then what do you worry about? I would like very much to meet your father now that I know who he is. The commodore, I am not so sure...", he added smiling at Anna.

Anna smiled " I wish it was that easy. You see I have to marry him it'll bring more fortune into my family and my mother is forcing me to marry him. What ever she says goes." She felt a feeling of comfort over coming her and she liked it, she never felt this comfortable around any one in her life she felt at peace with Julian. A comfort not like the one she has around her father but a different comfort she couldnt place what this feeling was but she liked it. "Yes my father was one of the best known pirates of the seven seas, he slaughter some of the most mangiest crews and captured the hearts of many young women."
Anna then thought she had a small impulse to rest her head on his shoulder but waited for a better moment. "The commidor ugh dont even get my started at the disgusting toad. He treats women not let me correct my self, he treats me like im some prize to show off to the world like an arm ornament to flaunt around his cocky unintelligent friends."

He looked at her the time she talked. He smiled when she talked about her father. It seemed she had great respect for him, her eyes would show it clearly. He looked away and the back at her. He would deal with the commodore hearing what he wanted her for, if he showed up. He was sure, 'Morgan' would kill him too if she got the chance. But he wouldn't let Anna do it to her mother. He turned slightly towards Anna and winced at the pain before asking, "What do you really want Anna, what do you want for your life?"

Anna rolled her eyes but smiled and giggled "you sound like my father." She said with a sight laugh " I dont know....what I want is adventure, something other just money and gifts, but most of all I want to true love, that is if it really exist. My father found it when he met my mother....so it must exist." She said looking at the sea her green eyes showed a sense serenity and peace when she looked at. They almost reflected the sea them selves.

He looked after her at the sea and admitted after so many years, "I search for nothing, I live for nothing. That's why I was ready to give everything I had to protect you. You were the only person in my life I felt responsible for and I couldn't let you fall because then I would have nothing again, I would be dead inside, like I have been for the past so many years. I have... had no purpose."

Anna listened to his words they were like music to her ears. She turned to him sea green eyes sparkling as she looked at him waiting for him to look at her in return she looked deep into his eyes. Almost as if she was looking for his sole, "Why did you? Whats so special about me?" She asked.
