A New Captain
Chapter 1: The Escape From the Island
Angelica sat, listening to the gentle whisper of the wind and looked out to the sea. She had already spent three nights on the island since Jack Sparrow had dropped her off and confessed his love for her, and there was absolutely no food supply. Angelica's hair flew into her face and she swiped her hand across to block her hair from shading her eyes.
After looking out for a few moments, Angelica's thoughts began to race. Her eyes sparkled with the glimmering reflection of the caribbean waters, and all she could think about is how she could possibly escape the island. She stood up with her hair blowing behind her through the gentle breeze, and started to climb a large palm tree until the leaves were in her reach.
One by one, she picked the palm leaves off of the trees. She got about five down when beads of sweat started to roll down her face. She needed water. She was thirsty and starving to death, and yet large leaves continued to be ripped from the trees by her own labor. Finally after getting ten leaves, she jumped down from the tree and laid the leaves out parallel to each other. She tore each palm in half, and finally started to lay the leaves out in the shape of an S.
"No need for that. Jack Sparrow sent our ship here to get ya. Why don't you stop trying to get the attention of the people that'll have you arrested, and climb aboard our ship." Angelica turned to see middle aged man, with a large hat and a long red coat. Behind him were two other smiled.
"How am I supposed to know that Jack sent you? How will I know weather or not being arrested is a better fate than what you have in mind?" Angelica's eyes wandered to a small pack on the man's waist carrying a canteen, and every time his leg moved, she could hear the splash of fresh water.
"I can't have an answer to these questions without your trust. Your choices are simple. You could come on my ship, hope for the best, and get food and water, or you could spell out S.O.S on the ground, catch the attention of the people who will have you hung, and never live to see another day." Angelica's eyes continued to examine the man's canteen. Soon enough he grabbed it in his hand and opened it. He slowly began to flip the canteen over until clear water began to flow from the opening and then hit the sand. Angelica's mouth began to water after every drop that stained the sand. When finally the canteen was empty, the man smiled and started laughing.
"Have you made up your mind yet?" Soon the man's eyes were pierced by the glare of Angelica's, and he continued to laugh.
"Very well! More rum for me!" The man turned around and began walking away with the other two men following. "I see the other canteen on one of your friends over there!" Much to the man's surprise, when he turned back to see Angelica, she was carrying a pistol.
"Jack said-" his sentence was interrupted when Angelica continued.
"What? That I was unarmed? Give me the canteen and you won't fear for your life" one of the men took hold of his own canteen, but he was stopped when the man in the red coat grabbed his hand.
"No, Jack said it had only one shot." Angelica's face turned red. "It's worth shooting you." The man smiled.
" Unless you've already used it. Don't fear Mr. Shaffer. The girl was only bluffing!" Angelica frowned.
"Who are you?" The man took his hat off and bent forward to a bow.
"Captain James at your service." He again straightened into a comfortable posture and placed his hat back on his head.
"I truly hate to rush, but I have somewhere to be in a week's time, so I must be going. I won't stop you if you decide to follow." As he turned to leave, Angelica quickly grabbed Captain James' arm and reached for his sword. Soon enough, she had it pointed at his throat and any move he made would have him injured. James let out a laugh, causing his adam's apple to jump up and down his neck, and each time it passed the sword it gave him a small cut.
"You have quite a grip there dearie. Any intention on removing the sword from my throat?" Angelica was so close to his face, James could feel her warm breath repeating in a pattern.
"I will not go aboard this ship a prisoner!" Angelica removed the sword from his neck, and James rubbed his hand on it to feel the small cuts. When Angelica turned to look at the other two men, they both had their swords pointed at her.
"I truly hope you don't wish to fight, because I assure you that you both will be lying on the floor, begging for me to let you live!" The two men looked at each other and smiled, and the one called Mr. Shaffer began laughing.
"By a woman? You must be joking!" Angelica smiled.
"Your right. I am joking. You'll be begging for me to kill you!" Angelica quickly swung the sword she held in her hands and struck Shaffer's. They continued the same rhythm until she ducked under his swing and lightly stabbed his leg. He fell to the ground and held tight to his injury, moaning in pain.
"Who's next?" The other man stared at her fearfully and stepped back slowly. Angelica once more held the sword to James' neck.
"Would you like to tell the crew your surrender, or shall I behead you in front of your friends?" James lightly pushed the sword from his neck with his finger.
"No need. Mr. Shaffer! Mr. McKenzie!" Mr. McKenzie put Mr. Shaffer's arm around his neck, as Mr. Shaffer hopped toward their captain.
"Please inform the crew of my surrender." Mr. Shaffer's mouth widened.
"But captain! We can't allow her to-" James gestured for him to stop.
"Just follow my orders!" The men frowned and limped back to their ship. Angelica smiled.
"Allow me to escort you to my ship." The sword transferred from James' neck to his back.
"Move!"
