Kingdom of Corona. Present-day

WILL GOADED ERICA into swinging her sword again, even if she knew better. It was too late to switch tactics by the time she realised what the hell was going on: Quickly, she found herself backed squarely into the mast of the ship, a sword at her throat with no way out or at least that's what she wanted everyone to believe 

A quick flick of her wrist was the only chance that anyone had to see what was going to happen next. Erica pouted and played the defeated card knowing that in time they would all get what was coming to them. It was them that got themselves in this position anyway and she was going to use it to her full advantage 

Jaclyn, always the one to speak before she thinks is the first to descend on her, like a bird pecking at her constantly craving whatever type of attention Erica was willing to give her. She almost laughed out loud at her thoughts, that was Jaclyn down to the core

Always looking for attention, even though sometimes it can be annoying. Erica secretly adores it because it showed that she wanted to spend time with her and this was one of the ways she knew how to do to that

"Aww, my Queen don't pout, just because we won. It doesn't  mean you won't win the next one"

"Who says I haven't won this one?"  Erica smirked, closing her fist over and allowing the veins that had seeped through the cracks of the boards on the ship. It was too late by the time her girlfriend looked down, a shadow of a horrified look in her eyes that quickly morphed into betrayal and then pride finally breaks across her face

"You cheated!" Jaclyn exclaimed although it held no bite of an actual accusation. In fact, if Erica wasn't mistaken she thought she heard the beginnings of laughter bubbling in Jaclyn's chest, making Erica smile as well. She always liked it when she could get Jaclyn to smile. It made her feel so light, almost as if she had learnt the ability to float in the air 

"I am just what you taught me to be" Erica retorted back, her arms now crossed as she leaned against the mass. All three of her assailants were currently tied up and unable to do much about her relaxed demeanour. In order to further drive the knife in she decided a little mockery of her girlfriend would do wonders for the inflated ego that was still intact even after all these years "How do you say it? Pirate"

Jaclyn cracked a grin; it was once again one that showed off all her teeth, stained yellow a little from the lapse in hygiene standards in the Enchanted Forest but Erica couldn't find it within herself to care. Even sweaty and panting from the workout, and writhing from the restraints that the vines provide. She makes an excellent work of art, one that would have Erica weak in the knees if she wasn't leaning against the mass for support

It was unfair really to Erica. She just happened to fall in love madly with the hottest woman on Earth, all that she perceived as flaws, Erica would (and does) spend hours worshipping her lover's body and murmuring praises into her skin that barely register in the heat of the moment
