I read every post twice and tried to address everything. If I overlooked an important detail, please don't hesitate to let me know. :)
Both parties were convinced they had Bones's best interests at heart, both of them wanted very badly to claim her... and yet neither side stopped to think about respecting her wishes. It seemed it would come to blows, no matter what she said or did, and though she appreciated her pack mates defending her, the sight of Captain Fox standing between herself and the raiders made Bones's heart jump into her throat. Wolves from both sides would get hurt. Someone might even get killed. She certainly didn't wish harm on anyone here. Beneath her charcoal fur, she paled.
"Please... don't..." she argued weakly, aware that it was useless to protest, painfully aware that her youth was her downfall in this situation... as well as the very reason for it. Because of her age, Bones had no autonomy in this situation. And the only one speaking up for her rights was a stranger to her. Not to mention, nobody seemed to be listening to Cutthroat's voice of reason.
The Blackflag Crew did not take kindly to Fox's open threat and didn't hesitate to try and take what was theirs. One twin (Gangplank) sprang for Jace, the other (Galleon) leaped at Ferdie, who was standing next to her. Killick went after the recently arrived Bazi, ignoring the pain in his mauled shoulder blade. Corsair went directly for Fox's throat, leaving Cutlass to grab at Bones again. None of the Blackflag Crew touched Cutthroat, mostly because the numbers didn't allow it but also because they couldn't bring themselves to harm their crew mate.
When her mother seized her roughly, Bones didn't fight her this time. Even as her body went limp again, an idea struck her and she suddenly started screaming, "I WANT TO GO TO TORTUGA! I WANT TO GO WITH THEM! THEY AREN'T GOING TO HURT ME! THEY JUST WANT TO TAKE ME HOME! I WANT TO GO WITH THEM! LET ME GO!" Experience told her it wouldn't change matters, that nobody would listen, but still the ever-optimistic Bones dared to hope.
