To be honest I can't say that I was fully forced into this. Though I was kidnapped I've enjoyed my time so far. No matter how much I hate to admit it.

I set the plates down only for the animals to immediately start to dig in. "So much for eating." I said holding my arms around my stomach. I sighed looking down annoyed about putting all that work in for nothing.

"Thought they would do that. " A plate filled with food was suddenly in front of my face making me smile immediately happy with the sight of uneaten food.

I smiled torwards Nate who was holding the plate out blushing slighty. "Thanks!" I said happily grabbing hold of the plate smiling brightly. I looked at the food to see something I haven't had in years.

My smiled dimmed a little but I quickly hid it. "Thank you so much Nate!" He smiled even more and replied cheerfully. "Well ya did help me willingly."

I nodded shrugging my shoulders when he walk torwards the others. At this point they were all at the table eating the food and talking with their mouths full.

I sighed and walked over to them taking the only seat left available next to Leo. Seeing my plate he eyed me curiously. "What? I earned it don't worry!" I said offened as he put his hands up next to his head in retreat.

I sighed again and using a fork started to eat the omelet. Just like mom's. Perfect in every way possible. I closed my eyes as soon as I finished but not for long.

"Drink up Anastasia!" Masoch said handing me a mug filled with rum. I thought about it before shrugging my shoulders and gulping it down.

I had Leo looking at me smiling and Sam looking bewildered. "I've never seen a woman do that before!" He said smiling his usual smile but something was off.

Oh Lord. They're all drunk. Even innocent Sam is drunk. I can't believe it. We just started this thing, whatever it is, 10 freaking minutes ago!

I sighed shaking my head at them. Even Chris, a doctor, was drunk and singing some pirate song. I couldn't believe they got drunk that fast.

Tom, Chris, and Sam were singing, Masoch and Leo were having a drinking contest and Nate was simply sitting there drinking away as if this was an everyday thing.

I was standing up when Chris started playing flute and Sam, Masoch, Nate, and Tom started dance awkwardly. They would link arms and spin in circles then switch off.

I shook my head disappointed in them and started walking to Leo's cabin. "May I have this dance?" Leo said stopping me after I took a few steps. "Why not?" I said gently giving him my hand as we made our way further on deck.

Masoch and Sam were lying on the ground breathing heavily while Tom and Nate continued dancing to the lively music Chris offered on his flute. Leo spun me around and set his arm around my waist pulling me close, while the other grasping my hand tightly.

He started to dance around on deck without realizing that we cut off Nate and Tom or that Masoch and Sam sat up now full attention on us.

We would step while turning a few times then he would spin me and repeat. Until one time he spun me and stopped me with my back facing him. He was still holding my hand but it was now above my head.

Nate disappeared then reappeared with a fiddle and joined Chris with the beautiful music. Sam tapped his hands against the ground to the beat then started to add other rythems with our footsteps.

I knew this dance well since my father and I always did this. It felt good to do it again. Tom and Masoch started to clap their hands to the beat enjoying the sight as we continued on.

It was very lively and I was happy to be like this. A little tipsy, dancing to such music, and having fun. I haven't been like this since my father remarried.

They switched to another song so the steps changed a bit becoming confusing and causing me to trip up. I was falling when Leo caught me right as the song ended making it look like a dance pose.

I noticed our close proximity and blushed feeling his breath on my face. I looked away from his hypnotizing eyes to see everyone either passed out or just flat out asleep.

I shook my head laughing at Chris and Nate who fell asleep sitting on barrels with their heads on top of one another. I was still in Leo's arms when I cleared my throat.

"You can let me go now." I said tapping his shoulder a little. "What if I don't want to?" He said holding me tighter but this time he stood me up.

"To bad. I'm tired so I'll be going back up to your cabin. Night!" I said as I untangled his arms from around me and walked up the stairs into his room.

To be honest I felt cold without his embrace. I shivered and took off my boots. After that I got under the covers to warm up.

I fell asleep soon after. I wasn't lying when I said that I was tired. I mostly said that because I'm not used to guys showing me affection. When they did, they'd just disappear.

《《Dream Land 》》

I opened my eyes to see that I was back home.
I walked around but noone was their so I walked outside.
"Anastasia! Grab Violet's bag will you? It's much too heavy for her."
"Yes Ma'am." I said picking up the bag.

The scene diappeared and we were at the mansion.
"I want this room mother!" Violet exclaimed pointing to the room I was sitting in.
"Of course darling! Anastasia can go somewhere else."

The scene disappeared again. I was telling Henry everything. He smiled and the scene disappeared again. I didn't get to see him again for years.

This continued on, noone that cared for me stayed with me. The people who didn't got stuck with me.

Leonardo's POV

After she left I couldn't help but stare after her. She was so beautiful. When she danced she seemed so happy.

"Wow cap. We even gave you guys the perfect moment there but nothing, so not worth it." Tom said standing up from his position on the floor. Noone else moved indicating that they fell asleep.

I sighed raking a hand through my hair and putting my hat back on. I also grabbed my jacket that I throw aside in order to dance.

"Whatever. Now help me put the guys in their room." I said annoyed by the conversation. "Aye cap'n." He said quietly grabbing Chris while I grabbed Nate.

We dragged them down the stairs and tossed them into their rooms. "No matter how they land, they stay asleep." Tom said laughing.

We contiued to joke around after we put them up in all the rooms and made our way to the wheel.

"You really got yourself in quite a trap." He said staring into the horizon. "What do you mean?" I asked confused by his statement.

"If ya turn er in to the boss, you'll never see er again. If you keep er the boss'll get ya. If ya take er back, well, it'll be a lose lose situation." He explained and I sighed.

"Don't remind me. I prefer to pay attention to today before tomorrow." I replied rubbing my head. To be honest I didn't live up to my words, I couldn't stop thinking about tomorrow.

"Go to bed cap'n. I can take over the fort tonight." I nodded and walked down the stairs towards my room. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath before opening the door.

I looked around to see that she was lying in the bed shaking. I walked up to her confused to see that she was having a nightmare.

I lightly shook her to try and wake her up but to no avail. "Anastasia? Anastasia!" I called her name but she barely even stirred in her sleep. I grabbed her arm and shook her harder but she didn't do anything.

"Come on Anastasia, wake up, wake up for me." I whispered in her ear and her breathing calmed down. She opened her eyes in a panic and looked up to me as I held her in my arms.

Without a second thought she wrapped her arms around me and started crying. "Shhh, it's okay, it's gonna be okay Anastasia, you're alright." I rubbed her back whispering comforting words until she calmed down.

She wiped her cheek before looking back up at me. "Thank you." I held her tighter as I continued to rub her back.

Anastasia POV

The second half of my dream was even worse. I can't even tell you about it. Just the thought of it disturbs me.

I woke up after feeling myself being shaken and words being said into my ear. I felt afraid and opened my eyes in a panic.

I looked up to see Leo and shock ran though me. I don't want anyone else to get hurt because of me.

I started crying and wrapped my arms around him. Please, please Lord! Don't let others suffer my curse! I yelled in my head feeling afraid.

I don't have an actual curse that I know of, but with my luck... yeah. I eventually fell asleep like that. All warm in his embrace.

This puts the ball to shame really. At a ball you simply prance around impressing people and trying to marry rich snobby royals. This, was a REAL party.
