"Oy!" Jill exclaimed. "It's bloody hot out here!"
It was about midday and the sun was beating down on them. Jill, Nicole and Sarah were at the docks gazing at the sea.
"This corset is killing me too." Nicole wined. Her brown hair was up in a curled bun and her green dress shimmering in the sunlight.
"You got that right". I said breathlessly. "Sarah don't think I can last much longer."
They were gazing out at the ocean when Jill suddenly exclaimed, "Good Lord I'm hot!" They all laughed.
Jill's golden hair framed her face in little ringlets and her dress was a shade of gold. Sarah looked at her reflection as well. Her rich brown hair was up in a curly messy bun with a few strands framing her face. She looked up at the sky and watched the clouds. The sky was a brilliant blue with little white fluffy clouds floating is odd spots all over the sky. Ships sailed past and the navy was loading boats on the docks.
"Some of those soldiers are gorgeous!" Nicole commented.
They all looked over and saw shirtless, tanned skin guys hauling crates onto the Interceptor. "Let's get back to the house." Sarah said. "I'm getting too hot".
So they walked back to the goveners house. Mrs. Alice came running to the three girls. "Where have your three been?" she gasped. "Your father has just gotten back. You were saposed to be back an hour ago".
Knowing Mrs. Alice he probably wasn't even back yet. The three girls ran up to there room and quickly washed up and smoothed out their dresses. They checked them selvs in the miroir. Yes! They thought. We are three very good-looking girls. They rushed down stair just as their father's carriage drove up to the gate. As he got out he's looked over his daughters. Their mother had past away a few years ago and he had been caring for them with the help of Mrs. Alice and the servants. The oldest was Jill. She was only a year older then Nicole and Sarah the twins. They didn't look much alike but they had been born on the same day. Nicole was only a few hours older then Sarah but acted as old as Jill. "Hello girls." He said after a second. "I trust you've all been well behaved."
They all looked at eachother and crossed their fingers behind their backs. "Yes father" they all replied in unisin. "Well I'm starved". He said, "What's for diner?"
That night the girls were sitting in their beds. Jill was writing in her journal, Nicole was playing with her kitten booger and Sarah was reading her book.
"Wouldn't it be meet to be a pirate?" Sarah said, all of a sudden making Jill jump. "We could travel and never have to wear corsets." Jill looked at Nicole and then back at Sarah.
"Where the hell do you get these ideas?" she asked. "I swear your going to get locked away." She did a crazy little gesture with her hands.
"Well you have to admit it would be fascinating" Sarah said. They had to agree they hated being cooped up in the mansion all day.
"We'll see tomorrow now lets go to sleep. It's probably past mid night." Nicole said. So they blew out there lamps put booger in his basket and settled down to sleep.
The next day they were sitting on the same dock staring at the same ocean, only this time thinking about what Sarah had said night before. The dock was the largest on the island. It reached half way out into the bay, Easy access for the interceptor and other supply ships. Nicole looked up to see a ship steering tawords them. She squinted into the sunlight. It had a black flag waving at the mast.
"Umm Sarah…your books… is there anything about ships with black flags?"
Sarah looked at Nicole confused. "What are you talking about? Of course there is. It's their mark, why do you ask?" Nicole pointed to the ship and gulped.
"That's why!"
Sarah and Jill looked out into the bay the ship was only about 50 feet away from the dock. The girls ran as fast as they could back to the house. They looked back only when they got to the top of the hill. There were pirates running from the ship up to the town. The girls ran inside and ran up to there room. They heard screaming, gunshots and bombs exploding. The sun was set and the sky was getting dark. They herd scraping and banging on metal they look out there window to see at least 10 pirates fighting to get in. once they had the gate open they rushed up to the house. The doors flew open at once and they all ran in. the girls hid in there closet just as 4 pirates ran into the room. They saw them tear through their things and stealing their jewellery. One of the pirates was advancing on booger asleep in his little basket. When Nicole saw this, she wasn't going to hide anymore.
"I think not." She said.
She barged out of her hiding space and jumped on the back of the pirate. He turned around and looked her square in the face. He looked kind of scary but handsome (in a scary way). He looked over to the closet and yelled.
"Boys we got some little ones in here." The other three took one look and grinned. Two of them advanced on Jill and Sarah. They were about to grab them when Sarah shouted
"Parler".
Jill looked at her confused. The pirate who was about to grab her, looked at her and groaned. "Fine missy"
They grabbed the girls and the last one grabbed booger and his basked, by the order of Nicole. They walked down to the small boats and rowed back to the ship. When the girls set foot on the ship, all went quiet. The pirates looked at Sarah then to Nicole then to Jill. Their captain was a tall man with a goatee and a moustache. He took one look at the girls then to the four pirates and asked to speak to them privately. After a few moments discussion he turned back to the girls.
"So I hear one of you called the right to parler? Which of you was it?"
Sarah looked back at him and replied "It was me. I invoked the right of parler and I request you leave this island immediately and never return."
The captain laughed. "You want us to leave and never return eh?" He looked thoughtful for a moment. "Ok we have a deal. As long as you stay with us."
The three gasped and stood shocked. Sarah looked a little more exited then the other two.
"I will have to discus this manner with my sisters." They huddled together.
"So what's the plan" Jill asked her sisters.
"I thought you always came up with the plans," Sarah said sarcastically. "No seriously, ok well we can go with them and our town will be left alone or we can get killed and they will masicure the town."
Jill looked at her shocked. "Thank god you read so much. Ok I guess we have only one choice." The girls looked at each other and agreed. Turning back to the captain Sarah stuck out her hand
"We accept your offer". The captain took her hand and shook it.
"Then we have a deal. Now I will show you to your sleeping quarters." He led them down the stairs to a room with three luxury beds. "This is where you will be sleeping." He said gesturing them to walk in the room. "My name is Captain Jack Sparrow and this is my ship. I will introduce the rest of the crew tomorrow you three look exhausted." They thanked him and he left the room.
"Wow this is awesome." Sarah said with excitement. "I can't believe we are on a pirate ship."
They took off there dresses and corsets and slipped into there beds. "Booger!" Nicole cried. "Where's my booger?" All of a sudden booger crawled from underneath her bed. "Oh there you are you little scamp." They all settled down and slowly they fell asleep, except Sarah she sat there in the dark wondering…
