"Go ahead," she said as she got up from the bed and walked over and kissed his cheek. He went to one knee and put the ring in front of her.

"Cassidy, will you marry me?" She covered her mouth with her hands. She opened her mouth but nothing came out, she was speechless, then finally said.

"Is this a joke or something?"

"No, I am serious, do you want to marry me?"

"I don't know what else to say but," She paused and fanned her face with her left hand, "Yes! I would love to marry you!," She pulled him to his feet and wrapped her arms around him and forced him into a kiss. What a relief. They held each other in the kiss like there was no tomorrow. They finally broke apart.

"When shall we be getting married?"

"Whenever it is ready," Hugo covered his mouth realizing his misstep.

"You already planned for it?" She asked tilting her head to the side, "I see you were confident in yourself."

Hugo sighed, "Yeah, I got ahead of myself."

"Does it really matter? I think that is something I can forgive," She said as an alluring smile grew on her face, "I did get ahead of myself last night, and you forgave me. But who is organizing it?"

"You are getting married to the leader of Bilgewater, I had my advisor ask the marriage organizer to organize our marriage, but it will be a secret for the people until soon before."

"Wow, you really had it planned out," She laughed as she lifted his chin, "Well, maybe to forgive you, we could come to an agreement..."

"Sure, but this time don't take five of them, take one or two."

"If you say so."

"The sun is setting, you what to get some food?"

"I am a little tired, I don't really want to go to the tavern."

"I can get some and bring it here."

"That would be great."

"I'll be back soon," He said as he got up and left the house, he walked down the path and soon arrived at the tavern, he pushed the doors and once again the men noticed him and saluted him. He mimicked them and they went back to their occupations. He walked over to the bar counter.

"Is there a way I could take something back to my place?"

"Yes, what shall it be?"

"Seafood for two."

"It'll be done soon, that will be ten coin," The bartender said.

"Here you go," Hugo held out a small pile of coins.

"Very well, Capt'n, anything else?"

"No, thank you," He leaned against the bar counter waiting, the men were watching one of the girls performing on the stage. He didn't pay much attention to it. He waited for a little while until the bartender brought him a box.

"Here is your food, Capt'n," He said as he pushed the box across the counter.

"Thanks," Hugo said as he took the box and walked out of the tavern. The sun was setting and the streets slowly started drain of people. He walked up the empty path up to his house. He stopped when he heard Cassidy scream.

"Stop! Leave me be! If Capt'n catches you, you're a dead man!"

"Will I? Well, he'll find you on your bed in sweat and fucked like the whore you are!"

"No! Let go of me!" Hugo broke into a sprint and barged through the door.

"You mother fucker," Hugo said as he pulled out his gun and walked towards the man, who was holding Cassidy down against the bed by the neck. Her clothes were ripped and she had a red hand mark on her face, "Get your hands off of my girl," The man laughed.

"Your girl?! Ha, she's a whore and you, know, it," The man's expression changed to an expression of fear when he noticed that Hugo's face had no show of laughter or joking tone.

"How could you do this? How could you hurt your own people? You don't deserve to live in this world," A shot resonated in the room. The man let go of Cassidy's neck and fell to the ground, his eyes were frozen in shock and his body was limp. The bullet had entered his chest, killing him. Blood had splattered onto the wall behind him. He lowered his gun, and looked at the man for a brief second, he was dead. He tossed the body outside and rushed to Cassidy's side.

"Thank the Creator, you arrived in time," She began to cry, he kissed her cheek, "Who knows what that guy would have done."

"Don't cry, it's not your fault, these guys are idiots, but you're not alone, I am still here and by your side until the end of my life," She cuddled close to him, he felt her tremble, her skirt was ripped and her shirt was nearly completely torn off, tears ran down her cheek, "No man will ever lay a hand on you until I die."

"I couldn't fight back, I tried to reach for the gun you have under the bed but he jumped me."

"Don't worry, it's over, you're with me now," They held each other on the bed until Cassidy's stomach growled, "You want something to eat?"

"Yes, that would be nice," She sniffled. Hugo got up and opened the box that he had put on the table. He opened it and pulled out the food, he put in out on the table and put Cassidy on a chair. Her face was still red and tears stained her cheeks. He found her some new clothes. He sighed, he took out two glasses and poured her a drink. She seemed dead, she barely moved.

"Are you sure that he didn't hurt you more than your cheek and your neck?"

"Yes, It's just that all my energy was drained out."

"Don't worry," Hugo said as he sat down in front of her, "I brought you your favorite."

"Thanks," She said as she halfheartedly moved close to the table, she took a bit of the food and started to eat, "Thank you for helping me throughout these last couple of days."

"Anything I can do for you, my dear," Hugo started to eat as well. A knock came to the door.

"By the creator! Who is it?"

"It is me, your advisor!" The man called back.

"What is it about?"

"I was coming to ask you about some news for the bulletin board, that you wanted to check it."

"Can it wait?"

"Yes, of course," His advisor replied, "And about, the, body..."

"Move it down to the city and dump it, we will need a new captain for the 18th ship."

"Very well, Catp'n," He called back, "Good night."

"Good night, Come back tomorrow morning, we will talk then."

"He was a captain?"

"Yes," Hugo sighed, "Try to focus on something else, like on right now, this moment."

"Yeah, I know, the food is great," She sniffled as she took another bite, "Thank you."

"Like I said anything for you, my dear," He said as he drank from the glass, "I am glad you like it."

"I am tired," She said as she yawned, "Maybe we can have fun tomorrow night? Tonight, I think I need to sleep."

"Fine by me, yesterday drained me, so more rest would be fine by me," He said as he took another bite. She took another piece and downed her drink. She coughed and felt her neck, "Are you okay? Do you want me to get you something?"

"No no no no, just stay here with me," She pleaded, "Don't leave me alone, I am scared."

"Don't worry, I will stay with you and tomorrow, my advisor will come here, so I will be just outside."

"Thank you," She said as she took off her shirt and her skirt and climbed into the bed, "Will you sleep soon?"

"I'll join you," He said as he took another drink, and removed his shirt, "I'll join you but I will fall asleep after you, so don't worry. Fall asleep in peace."

"Thank you," She kissed him as he laid down next to her, "Good night."

"Good night." He lay next to her awake, she fell asleep holding onto him. She trembled in her sleep, she twisted and turned. Her body was covered in sweat. He moved to lie down and she grabbed around in her sleep to find him. She seemed to be tormented by the dream she was in. He stayed awake, holding her. She whined in her sleep. Hopefully she doesn't wake up when I am asleep, I don't want her to worry about anything. He closed his eyes. Her grip on him tightened.
