Elizabeth was pained at the decision, for she desperately wanted to help. However, it was clear to her that she would be little help, and would only succeed in giving herself up as well. She would be far more use staying out of the way in the hope of freeing captives later if possible. To that end, Elizabeth lowers herself until only the top of her head is peering out above the gunnels.
The position allows her to observe what unfolds in the “duel.” As soon as Leanne is within arm’s reach of the pirate, the bearded giant grasps the wrist holding the knife and twists. Crying out in pain, Leanne drops the knife, brings her other hand across too try to free herself from the man’s grip. The pirate responds by striking Leanne in squarely in the gut, dropping her swiftly to her knees.
“By all hells, a ship full of women, and I get one that looks more like a painted pretty boy. Well, let’s see what we’re dealing with here.”
Leanne, still sucking wind from the blow, was too disoriented to protest when the pirate reached down to the buttons of her uniform and pulled it apart. With one effortless pull, the man had snapped off each button of the uniform, and torn open the front of her undershirt from collar to waist. Leanne’s torso laid bare, you could see her chest was nearly flat, with only her slight nipples protruding. From there, the pirate grabbed her around the waist, picked her up, and yanked her trousers off. Now naked, her spindly legs dangling to the ground Leanne was starting to regain awareness of her predicament.
Elizabeth watched uncertainly from her hiding spot feeling horrible for not having helped, but relieved that she was not in Leanne’s place. Sure enough, the bearded pirate, keeping a steady grip on Leanne with one arm, unfastened his pants with the other. His tool unsheathed, Elizabeth gawked at the size of it, certain that the narrow waisted Leanne would not accommodate it. However, he gave no pause, bending her at the waist in front of him, and thrusting in to her all at once.
Elizabeth pulled her attention away briefly, noticing that the same scene was playing out all over the deck. Easily twenty crew members, cadets and officers alike, had been likewise subdued by the marauding pirates. Elizabeth was shocked to see that some of the ship’s crew wereAs the pirates moved belowdecks, surely the entire crew would be overwhelmed soon. Leanne’s screaming as subsided, giving way to pained moans as the pirate continued his pumping. She was now supporting herself on her hands and feet as the man pulled back at her hips. In short order his thrusting became more rapid, until it stopped entirely, and Leanne squirmed as he sprayed her with his seed. Finally, he hoisted her once more with one arm around her waist and started carrying her towards a bridge that had been leveled between the two ships.
Knowing that the ship would be set aflame when the pirates had everything they wanted, Elizabeth realized that her only chance was to get aboard the pirate ship unnoticed. She began to climb around her ship to the back so that she might cross over at the bow where the ships were closest. As she did so, she noticed some of the crew being thrown over-board, you recognized some of the homely and stout of the crew were the ones being discarded. Eventually Elizabeth comes to a point where she might conceivably be able to reach a hand hold on the pirate ship. However, failure could easily prove lethal, and she briefly considers whether it might be better to wait until her ship is sinking and try to make her way to land.
