It was a cool damp evening in the summer of 1740. Maria Cocksworth, a young
maiden on the island of St. Euphoria, lay on the beach starring up at the
dark night sky. Her long red hair was braided neatly and her eyes were
brown. Suddenly the faint sounds of cannons invaded the peaceful silence.
She almost heard the cannon scream as the whistled through the air, "Boom, doom, doom, doom, doom." The people from the village screamed. It was a chorus to her ears, a choir of death that rang sickening thrills down her spine. In her head the voice that sounded so much like her own sang in glee at the blood curdling screams, while outside she refrained from vomiting at the blood strewn streets that washed the pavement in her eyes every time she blinked and closed her eyes to see herself with bloodied arms watching a woman that was her embracing a grinning captain and toasting to the death and drinking the blood of the victims they have bled....
She screamed and got up on the beach with nearly no breath left in her lungs to speak of other horrors worse and stared straight into the eyes of herself.
"Go away." She said simply, "I'll have no more of you." The other smiled.
"I can't go away, I never will." She laughed a maniacal laugh that sent shiver up her spine. She blinked and the other was gone.
The moon was now covered in dark threatening clouds that were sure to pour down rain. She pulled on her jacket and began to walk quietly down the shore. She came to a large dock and went beneath it trying hide. Suddenly she was shoved down onto the wet sand. She dare not move, and even if she could her legs would shake and her knees would give out.
"What 'ave we here mates?" asked a man's voice.
"A spy?" questioned another.
"A wrench?" asked a different man.
"What do you want from me?" Maria asked with a shaky voice.
"We should take her to the captain." Siad one.
"Aye!" they exclaimed together. They tie up her hands and drag her aboard the lifeboats. She rode to the large ship with her eyes closed.
They help her climb up aboard the ship. She is extremely scared as s man with a tri-cornered brown hate. He many trinkets and such in his hair and his beard was braided. He grinned as she stared back down at her speech.
And then she recognized him.
Her eyes went wide and she screamed.
"What wrong, love." He asked, approaching her.
"You stay away from me!" She screamed at the top her lungs, "they might not know who you are but I do, I know and I'm not a fool. You stay away!" She backed away slowly.
"What do ya mean ya know me, it's grand new to me." He replied, taking a step forward. She screamed and turned to run but the crew grabbed her and threw her onto the ground. She looked up her eyes wide-open and blood red hair tangled and stringy down her back. She was behind the man and she smiled at her.
"No one will help you. You are all alone." She said.
"Go away, AWAY!!!! Get out of my head." She cried and held her head in her hands. The other grinned and left, to return, perhaps.
"The demon's got her. She speaks to demons. Bad luck she is, throw her overboard to drown in her own nightmares." Gibbs said.
"No!" exclaimed Jack.
"What do you want from me?" Maria asked through tears.
"Luv, we aren't going to hurt ye." Jack reassured
"How am I supposed to believe you!?!?!?! You filthy disgusting pilgrim!" She yelled
"Pirate luv, Pirate." He smiled revealing his gold teeth. "Now luv come with me into me cabin and I'll show ye I won't ye."
"I am no wrench!" she yelled.
"No ones," Jack tried to explain
"No you listen here, Luv, I am no wrench who'll just climb into bed because you're the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow!" she screamed turning from him.
"Okay then ye'll be sleepin with me crew tonight." He sighed.
"What?" she breathed. She couldn't bare being locked up with pirates whom probably haven't pleasurable company in some time. "I'll sleep in your cabin." He smiled, "On the floor! And I mean sleep as in goodnight, dreaming, eyes closed, sleep!"
"Al'right luv, what ever ye wish." He replied. She eyed him warily.
"You swear on the Virgin Mary and all that is good in the world?" He eyes her strangely. "you swear on you ship?" she asked. He nodded.
"I swear." She nodded and ran to his room, stealing all of the blankets and throwing them on the floor and curling up in a ball covered in them.
