Unattainable

Chapter Thirty One- A Battle Aboard

        Colin removed a dagger from his side that was given to him by Maddox and held Jennifer behind him. Easily, one man went down as Colin slashed at his stomach, he jumped over the edge before he was killed. The other two were placed on either side of Colin. One with a gun in his hand and the other with a sword. Both men lunged at him at once, Colin pushed Jennifer back and then placed his weapon for his protection. Jennifer looked around for some way to help but found everything to be useless. One of the men then made advances toward her as the other man was dedicated solely on Colin.

        "Do you know how to sail this thing" Jennifer asked as he looked at the objects as if they were of alien design.

        "I play a pirate for a living....can't be too difficult." He said giving her a light grin. "Here goes nothing..."
