Jean laughed at her. "Well how about a tour of the ship"

Bella continued to glare at him, keeping herself rather close to a corner. "Why the hell would I want to agree?" She asked quickly. It was clear the girl held a temper much unlike the ladies of the time.

"Hm I've bagged myself a fierce one. Well it is up to you I can leave you here by yourself where who knows who will come in and lets say 'dishonor your name' or you can come with me for a tour and maybe some food. Your going to be here for awhile theres no saying how long. That all depends on how fast your daddy can reach the bottom of his pockets."

Bella was rather rigid and she attempted not to look bothered by his comment. But... He was right. There was no telling what anyone else might do if she were left alone and though she held a hard exterior, she still was extremely nervous.
".....Fine," She forced out stubbornly.

Jean laughed "Ok lets go." He took her outside the room and pointed to the side of the boat. "As you'll notice to your left and right and well i guess everywhere around us it is water. Hm i bet your a bit pissed but i really hope you did'nt think we were gonna stay in port. It was my job to kidnap you and keep you in my room until we were far enough out to a point where you wouldnt try to get out and swim although after talking to you im not sure if there is such thing as far enough." He laughed again. "Ah I love this life. Ya know you could get used to this."

She couldn't help it. His words just continued to get her even more angry and it wouldn't be long before she would lose it. Bella nearly growled and continued to glare at him, trying to resist the urge to simply smack him and get it over with. Hell, she wouldn't care about the reprocussions.

"Calm down I'm just messing around with you. Geez I guess I should've known an uptight Commonders daughter would'nt like to leave her big house and actually do something bigger than herself and well her daddies wallet." Jean put his hand on his head. He of course said this only to further get under her skin.

That was it.
It was the last straw, and she didn't want to take anymore.
D**m the reprocussions.
Bella stalked right up to him and slapped him hard across the face. She did not faulter, nor even realize what she did before her words soon flew out. "Why you no-good, dirty, rotten pirate! I'm tired of all of this already! Your da** insults, your rude behavior, everything!"

Jean didn't turn his face back towards her, he just held his hand over the slap. Some of the other guys who saw it started to laugh. Jean just glared over at them and then they all immediatly stopped laughing. When he turned back to Bella he had a smile on his face. "Honey that kind of behavior does not suit you. maybe you have more of a pirates edge then you think but for now your going back into our room maybe ill bring you something later" Jean grabbed her arm and took her back into the room. He leaned over onto the desk in his room and picked up a bundle wrapped in cloth"I'm just gonna take these guns with me, wouldn't want you getting hurt." When he left he locked the door behind him

Bella immediately tried to pry herself loose from his grasp. Hell, she didn't want to spend the rest of the day, until whenever in that cabin! So, she continued to squirm and nearly stumbled as he put her in the room.
While he turned though, she hiked up her skirts and ran to the door, frustrated as it closed before she could get to it. "Let me out this instant!" She cried, pounding on the door.

Jean heard her cry from outside the door "Maybe a time out will teach you to control your hands. Dont worry I'm the only one with a key to this door so you wont have any visiters. Well im kinda hungry I'll be back later" His footsteps could be heard but not for long since they were dimmming telling he was walking away.

"D*mnit!" She yelled out, giving one last pound on the door. Finally, she turned around and leaned her back against it.
As she sighed deeply, Bella allowed her form to slide down to the floor. She pulled her legs up to her chest the best she could and hugged them, wondering if she'd ever get away from such a place. Wondering if, perhaps, her father would give up the money.

A cannon could be heard off in the distance. Men from the ship were screaming "Were under attack." A panic could be heard from outside the room. Jean ran into the with a strong hustle. "It seems like your dad got my note. He's taking it a bit hard haha. Lets hope he doesnt sink the ship because I dont think we have room for you on the lifeboat." Just then another man ran up to Jean and asked him for orders "Captian what should we do" Jeans eyes shot over to Bella and then he hit the man in the back of the head. "You idiot I didnt want her knowing who was in charge here. but I guess now that she knows its too late. Oh well we are just gonna run we can fight off an entire fleet. Fire on them and try to lighten the ship, this ol' girl is fast she should be able to get out of this ok."

Bella had managed to scramble away from the door as soon as she had heard the first of the cannons. And, once Jean had managed his way back into the room, she almost grinned in triumph.
"Good. I hope he manages to destroy this little ship of yours," She snapped back easily. She had gotten rid of her shoes somewhere through the short stay, adamant about running around in them. She was ready to just slap Jean into oblivion, until he learned to show her the proper respect.

Jean didn't say a word to her. He for one of the few moments in his life had a serious look on his face. He closed the door and locked it again. The battle outside continued. There was a huge bang and the ship shook. For about ten minutes there was quiet. Jean came back into the room "We got away. You dad managed to hit us though. We have to stop at the closest port." He spoke slow and sadly "I guess your stuck with us for awhile now" He said as he tried to force out a laugh. He came in and sat on the bed and didnt say anything to her. The room was a decnetly sized room it had a bed a desk with candles and paper on it and maps hung all around the room. it was very basic.

As Jean had left, Bella found herself hoping; hoping that her father would win whatever battle this was, and take her home. She'd be in her warm bed and perhaps would find the sleep she wanted, and would wake up to another normal morning.
Yet, the more she dwelled on it, she wondered if that was truely what she wanted. Perhaps, other options were more agreeable with her, but... No; She couldn't.
Shaking her head, Bella was pulled from her thoughts as Jean returned. And the news he brought had killed any hope she held. Figures, her father would not put forth enough effort.
She did not speak, and turned her gaze away from him. Staying just as far away, she looked in thought and almost crestfallen. And for once, she did not argue nor yell.

"You hungry?" Jean said still a bit upset about his boat.

Bella had almost disreguarded his question. Her ribs were killing her from the godforsaken corset. She was tired. She did want food...
"A bit," She finally admitted, but still did not look over to him.

"Ok come with me we can get some food maybe get to know eachother a bit better" Jean said this time sounding a bit more like his cheerful self.

Bella almost groaned at his words. She didn't mind the food part- no not at all. But... The getting to know each other?
The thought was not appeasing in the least. However, Bella finally got up to follow him.
