This one is longer. I really hope you like it. Plz leave comments.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

"Roberto! My friend! I told you we were going to meet again!" Don has an evil grin in his face.
Roberto looks Don straight in the eye.
"Don if you think you're going to scare me, you have another thing coming."
"Roberto. My only wish is that we can be friends." With that his whole crew snickers.
"Don, stop the games. Tell me what do you want."
Don has an evil grin on his face.
"Well, come aboard and we can talk. Let us bury the old hatches and start with dinner?"
Roberto nods his head, but he knows Don is up to something.

Lucy is pacing the cabin floor and biting her nails. Something is wrong, I can feel it!
Why don't they start to fight. By now there should have been a battle! She goes to the door and presses her ear against it. But still nothing, just complete silence.
"Lucy."
Lucy turns towards Jason.
He holds out his arms and she desperately runs to them.
As soon as she's in his arms and she feels the comfort, her body start to tremble as her tears violently starts to flow.
"I'm... so... scared!"
"Shh my darling. Nothing will happen. I will keep you safe."
"I... don't... know what...I'll do... if papa di... "
Jason cradles her in his arms while making soothing sounds.
After the tears stopped, Lucy can't seem to get her to pull free from his arms. She's just so tired!
Before she knew what happened she was fast asleep.

Lucy woke up with laughter and loud screaming.
She jumps up but Jason grabs her around the waist.
"Steady!"
"What's going on?!"
"They're just having a celebration."
"Oh they are celebrating something. Did you hear anything of papa yet?"
"Nothing my lady."
Lucy try to see whether the Blackheart is still outside but all she could see through the window is total darkness. She walk to the door and just as she was about to put her ear to the door, the key turns in the lock. She jumps back.
"Well. Look what I have found! A servant girl and a Prince! My! What a pleasant surprise."
Lucy look straight into the coldest gray eyes with little green inside. The face seems vaguely familiar but she can't put a name to the face.
She feels hypnotized and can't look away.
She must admit that he's very handsome. With his strong jaw line, sharp nose that gives him almost a look of royalty, his piercing gray eyes and his tall muscular form, he can easily melt any woman's heart. But the coldness inside him makes a shiver run down her spine. It's as if he is nothing put pure evil.
"Good evening little lady. You know you are in a mighty sticky situation at the moment."
Don grins as his crew members snickers.
"Wh-who are you?" Lucy whispers.
Don lifts his hand up and caresses the side of her face. Lucy shudders and tries to pull back.
Anger is immediately written in the gray eyes.
"Do I disgust you?"
Lucy just looks away.
"You think I discuss you! Well, then maybe you just have to look at what I did at your Captain!"
Lucy tries to see Jason but he is already tied up and is sitting on a chair.
All Lucy can see is that his eyes is pleading for forgiveness, for he can't help her.
Don pulls Lucy out to the Main Deck.
As soon as Lucy saw what he did, she starts to scream.
The whole crew is massacred like animals. Heads are chopped off, some are hanged, other lie on the deck with swords and daggers penetrating their whole body.
She began to whimper and couldn't even stand. It felt as if she wanted to puke. Two members of Don's crew helped her up while laughing the whole time.
Lucy turned toward Don.
"Why?"
Don looked furious by now.
"I want something but the Captain didn't want to give it."
"What can you possibly want so desperately that you killed the whole crew for?"
"I want the Falcon treasure."
"But we don't have that!"
"Oh on the contrary, the Captain did indeed have the exact location. And I found it. But he had to pay dearly for it."
"What did you do to him!" Lucy was getting frantic.
"Where is he?!"
Don kept smiling.
"I'll tell you if you can tell me who you are."
"Why?"
"I'm looking for Roberto's daughter. "
"Well, I don't know where she is. Maybe one of your crew members had already killed her!"
"That may be, but it still doesn't explain who you are."
"I-I'm Lucy's servant girl. My name is Angeline."
Don looks at Lucy as if trying to figure out if she is telling the truth. Finally he sighs and turns to his crew.
"Find the Captain's daughter. The one that finds her, he will get 800 pounds!"
One crew member looks at Lucy.
"Captain, what about the girl? She's just the servant. Can we have her?"
His eyes looking greedily at Lucy.
Don throws Lucy to the crew and they all cheer and try to grab at her. All Lucy falls to the ground and try to cover herself up, trying to push the groping hands away.
Where is Jason? I hope he's ok. But where is papa?! I need to know where he is.
"Please," Lucy pleads softly.
Don turns towards her. "That is enough. You all can have her tonight. Go and find the Captain's daughter."
Lucy looks at Don, not even caring that he can see the tears and fear in her eyes.
"Why do you need the Captain's daughter? What are you going to do to her?" Lucy asks frantically.
"I'm going to take special care of her. She is the map to the treasure."
"What treasure?!"
Don smiles wickedly.
"Men, take your new toy downstairs. You can have all the fun you want with her later tonight."
As the crew cheer and starts pulling Lucy toward the lower deck, Jason screams for Lucy to run.
"I'm sorry!"
"Jason! Help me!"
Jason sits in agonizing pain and watch as Lucy is being pulled down to the depths of the ship.
Don turns toward Jason.
"Now Princie, you're going to tell me where precisely the Captain's daughter is. I know you know."
Jason sighs.
"If I tell you, will you promise me, no, swear by the code of the sea, that you'll not harm the daughter?"
Don smirk.
"But what about your own life? Aren't you afraid that I may kill you?"
Jason looks Don straight in the eye.
"I really don't give a damn. You can do what you want with me, just don't hurt her."
"My my. Seems that our little prince is in love."
"Well, you have my promise. Now, tell me where is she?"
"The Captain's daughter never had a servant girl. There is only one lady on this boat. The Captain's daughter."
Don looked puzzled and as realization struck him he looked utterly shocked.
"WHAT!!"
He swiftly turns around and heads straight for the lower deck.
Jason closes his eyes and whispers, "I'm sorry Lucy, but this is the only way I can make sure you will not be hurt. At least now the crew won't get their hands on you."

Lucy's arms are tied up around a pole below. She doesn't even care that tears stream down her face.
Where is papa? What are they going to do to Jason?
She hears the door open, but quickly shuts her eyes because she is too afraid to look that way.
Oh god! What are they going to do to me?
She feels her hands being untied.
Her arms hung at her sides.
What's the point of running.
When she finally have enough courage to see who is with her below deck, she gets the biggest shock of the day.
"Papa!"
"Lucy, I'm so sorry. Don tricked me. I knew I shouldn't have trusted him. Can you ever forgive me?"
"Ai papa. It's not your fault. Don't worry. What have they done to you?"
"Nothing... yet."
Roberto looks concern and then turns Lucy towards him so that he can look her in the eye.
"Lucy, does Don know that you are my daughter?"
"No papa. I told him I was the servant girl."
Roberto sighs in relief.
But just then the door burst open.
Don practically ran towards them. Roberto steps in front of Lucy, trying to protect her with his body.
Don takes out a dagger and presses it against Roberto's neck.
"So you two think you can outsmart me, do you? Lucy, I presume?"
Lucy can't look away from the dagger. She just gives a nod.
Don smirks.
"You had me almost convinced. Now be a good girl and step away from your daddy."
Lucy shakes her head violently.
Don presses the dagger harder against Roberto's neck.
Little drops of crimson red blood start to form on Roberto's fragile neck. Roberto tries to speak to Lucy.
"L-Lucy...do...don't... do i-it."
"Shut up old man! Lucy if you want to see your father alive you better do what I say."
Lucy hesitantly steps back.
Don smiles.
"That's a good girl."
Don pushes Roberto out of the way and grabs Lucy by the arm. He takes out his sword but Lucy is faster and grabs the sword. Don was prepared and grabs Lucy's hands and they start to struggle to keep their grip.
Roberto frantically watches.
"Lucy, don't let go. No matter what happens. As long as you have a weapon to defend yourself with."
Don looks at Roberto and grin. He's going to teach father and daughter a little lesson.
With that he pulls his and Lucy's arms forward and the sword sunk deep into Roberto's chest.
"Lucy, I love you," and with that the last glow of life disappears out of Roberto's eyes.
Lucy immediately let go and screams.
Blood dripping from her hands. The last thing she can remember before darkness was Don's evil laugh.
