It was late afternoon when one of the men informed Xander that there's another pirate ship not far from "The hawk".

Xander ask his men to prepare and all the young boy and other who's does not belong to those who fight should hide on the bottom cabin.

The battle was fierce, the roar and boom of the guns reverberated across the sunlit sea, and the air was filled with smoke and the sound of the wounded countless pirates was sickening.

When she tried to peep on the porthole in Xander's cabin where she is hiding, the other ship had put up a gallant fight but it had been no match for the hawk. The mast was gone, the sails in shred and it was floundering badly. Even the deck was full of wounded men and Andrea's stomach suddenly feel upset seeing that the deck was painted red as the blood was all over the place, she had the urge to vomit after she saw the carnage scene.

At this kind of situation that she's been thankful to Xander that he wouldn't allow her to come out but hide in his cabin until the war was fully ended.

For two years she's been working as a cabin boy she hadn't had the chance to join the real battle after the event when she first came in and suddenly rushed in one of their gunners to assist but Xander caught his attention and ordered her to hide inside of his cabin.

Xander is not really a bad pirate he's reasonable, all the boys who's lowest rank and all the kitchen crews are not allowed to come out and fight, there's a place for the below to hide, as Xander once said, "You'll get your turn at the right time. But for now make sure you ready all the necessity that'll be needed once the fight is over."

After a few more minutes of peeping she decided to go back on her hammock, that she didn't realize that one of the pirates from the other ship slip and went into Xander's cabin and took one of the chest that was on the table.

It was when she was about to get up, when she saw the figure and decided to attack him, but the pirate was too fast for her that before she can even make another move it's already at her side aiming the dagger on her neck.

"Do you think you can leave here alive after taking that chest and killing me?" She taunted him bravely, although the truth is she's really nervous. This is the kind of event that she hates being a girl.

"Shut up!" The pirates hissed at her.

She wants to stall the time because she knew that anytime soon Xander will be back, but she doesn't want to take the risk of him coming back. She's afraid that this guy will use her as a hostage and hurt Xander.

Even Though they're not that close she doesn't want to see him getting hurt. She has to think of a way to kill this man before Xander comes back.

She coughed for a second before she talks in a very low and sexy voice. "Hey lover boy, why don't you take out your dagger out of my neck and let me play with you?" She says seductively while her hands slip into man's chest and touch him lightly. "I can even help you escape."

She wants to vomit just by touching this filthy pirate but she have to endure it until he lowers his guard on her.

"I don't do boys just keep your hands to yourself or I'll cut it off!"

"Alas, but I'm a girl, sir. You can verify it yourself!" She says while continuing touching the pirate in front of he, she even dare to lower it down near the man's stomach.

The pirate feels his shaft responding to her touch that he lower his dagger and aim it at her bosom. He slowly cut Andrea's shirt but before he cut it completely and exposed Andrea's bosom, the cabin door suddenly open and Xander was standing there with his mighty holding his pistol and a sword looking at them with cold expression.

He looked at the pirate and to Andrea who's being pushed now on the table half of her clothes were ripped while the dagger on her neck. He saw her shaking under the pirate guy but he didn't show any expressions on his features. He remains calm and passive bit deep inside he wants to crush this pirate into a pulp!

"Oh! Dear, is this what I think it is?" Xander asked playfully while taking a step closer to them.

"I advise you to take back and tell your men to prepare a boat for me!" The pirate demanded on Xander who looks bored on the pair in front of him.

"Why should I? Do you think that I can't kill you now?" Xander announced coldly.

"Really? So it's okay if I just kill your whore?" The pirates taunt him. "She was so ready to give up herself for you awhile ago, in return for not killing you, but it turns out that you don't even care about her. " the pirate said playfully while pushing the dagger her neck that cause it to bleed.

If Xander was shocked by the news he didn't let it show on his face. Instead he just smirk at Andrea.

" Don't believe what's this jerk has been saying! Why would I-"

"Believe him? Why would I? I don't even know you, as far as I know there's no whore in my ship. So where did you come from?" Xander answered while smirking.

Andrea gritted her teeth she knew that he's only playing but is he really? What if that he didn't really care about her? She keep her gender to him, so why would he help her?

"I-I...He's right, I'm just a whore here and he didn't even know that I've been here for awhile now. I'm here in his cabin to steal the chest!"

"Ha! Do you think I believe you?" The pirates says while pushing the dagger even more to her neck that the blood is starting to leak and drip on her neck.

Seeing her predicament Xander raised his pistol and aim it the pirate and Andrea.

"I'll kill her, if you don't put your gun down!" The pirate once again warn Xander but he already pull the trigger and hit the pirates forehead Andrea was too shocked to shout or to react. She just stand there while the blood of the pirates splattered on her before it falls down onto the ground.

Too shocked to react, Andrea just stood there staring at the body who's now lifeless.

Xander didn't waste any time he pulled Andrea on his chest and hug her to calm and to pacify her. It was after a few seconds when Andrea started to push Xander while her body was trembling with fear.

It didn't take long before she fainted in Xander's arm.
