Chapter 1 The beginning
Lilly
"Lilly!! Get your ass up! You have work to do!"
"Go to bloody 'ell, you know it is bad luck to wake someone up from sleeping!"
"I don't care!! We gotta get this boat to Port Royal, NOW!!"
"Fine, fine, fine. Now that I wont be able to sleep!" she rolled out of her hammock and stood up and walked slowly onto the deck. It was early morning, too early if you were to ask her. She had called The Sea Hawk home for most of her 21 years of life, maybe 10 of them. It wasn't a pirate ship like she was hoping, just a merchant ship. Mostly taking supplies from England to ports in the Caribbean. She loved the ocean, but would love it more if she could live a more free live. But hey, she had begged to be on this ship and as they say 'beggars can't be choosers.'
"About time Lilly!! Go up into the riggin', make it fast." the second mate,John, yelled to her
"Aye!" she yelled as she was walkin towards it. She was good for certain tasks the men worn't. fitting into small spaces and climbing places without making a fuss. Lilly was the only woman aboard this ship, it did take a lot for her to get on it. She had begged for weeks to be let on. The captain agreed. He was a nice man, but the ship had a new captain. He was nothing like the old one. He was mean. demanding, and worst of all he hated her. She didn't know why. She had never done anything to him. Maybe he didn't like having a girl on his ship. He would go out of his way to see to it that she was uncomfortable, or working harder than any man. She would never complain, she wanted to prove herself better than any man. She didn't really talk to anyone. Not many of the men wanted her as a friend, just a bed warmer, which she would have none of. She did her job and than went back to the deck. The sun was starting to rise, a sight she always loved. She stooped in her tracks and just stared at it. Not noticing the captain come up to her.
"Ehh Hemm....." he cleared his throat as he reached her "Taking a break when everyone else is working? I will have none of it."
"A break?? No, no break, just a moment in time when I stop to see the sun rise. Sorry sir if I am needed so badly that I can not take a few moments out of the day to stop and look at the world around me." he was speechless, he didn't think it would backfire on him
"Well, I do believe you should get to work, we will be reaching Port Royal today."
"So I have been told." she said under her breath. She knew she got him and was happy for it, but knew she would pay. Lilly spent her day working, as usual. She wasn't really excited about coming to Port Royal, it just was going to be more work for her, the captain would probably just make her unload everything. The day was a hard and trying one, but it wasn't over yet.
"Captain, we are approaching Port Royal."
"Thank you for the update, prepare the crew to dock." Lilly was close enough to here there conversation. 'Great, just great!' she thought to herself.
Will
Today was the day he decided to leave Port Royal and never look back. It had been a week since the 'incident' with Elizabeth. He spent most of the week throwing himself into his work to get his mind off of it. But than he realized nothing was keeping him in here, except her (he didn't even want to say her name it hurt that bad) so he was packing up what little he had. He decided to go to the docks to see if any ships had arrived that he could get a ride on. He knew he would have to work to get where ever it was he was going. Than it hit him
'where am I going?'
'Who cares as long as it is out of this place!'
'Yes, but where? I can't go looking for a ship to somewhere if I don't know where!'
'Oh yes you can! Just get your sorry ass out of this town. Take a ship till you reach some island and settle there. You might even meet someone!'
His mind raced back and forth on this thought. He had never been anywhere other than England and Tortuga. He knew a ship would be a great way to see what else this world had in store for Will Turner. That is when he decided to just find a ship that would keep him and just go where it lead.
Lilly
The boat was docked. The Captain had ordered Lilly to do most of the work. With help from the cabin boys(who would be more work than help) and some of the weaker crew. He had also put a deadline on them. So it was basically up to her. She was strong for a girl. It was still hard. Her and three of the cabin boys were caring crates down the gang plank one by one.
Will
He was lucky. A Merchant ship had just docked and was in a hurry to leave. He asked some of the other ships but they all thought it would be less help to them to have to feed one more mouth. His last hope was this last ship. 'I sure hope they need help!'
He saw a few crew members and cabin boys carrying crates off the ship. He noticed a man that seemed to be watching them with close scrutiny that seemed to be smirking at one crew member. He would talk to this man.
"Umm, excuse me?" the man was in some far off land when Will brought him back
"Can I help you?"
"Yes, my name is Will Turner and I was wondering if I could join your crew?"
"Really? Humm, that is nice, but why would I want you on my ship?"
"Well by the looks of the people caring crates off your ship it would look like you need some able bodied men, not some boys." the man laughed
"Well, Will. You got spunk. I like you. You help me crew unload the ship and I will consider letting you join me crew!" Will was soo happy to get a chance at some sort of real life
"Thank ye' sir!" he headed onto the ship folowing the cabin boys below deck to the crates. He walked down and saw a lot of heavy looking crates (A/N how do crates look heavy? whatever!) and someone who seemed to be in charge barking out orders to the boys. That voice, it is not one of a man. Than he looked closer and saw that it was in fact a women. She had her long dark-brown, curly hair pulled back in a loose tie with strands falling out. Her eyes were emerald color. She was tan, and not half bad looking. But, dressed like a man. Her eyes noticed him and had a questioning look in them
(Now I am going just to everyone, no special POV!!)
"Who the hell are you?"
"Oh, hello! I am Will. I might be joining this crew." she looked him up and down. He looked fit enough to help, that was not all she noticed. He wasn't ugly or old. But he was a bit odd, too she couldn't put her finger on the right word, but she knew he was just too something.
"Alright, help me with this crate. This one over here."
"Umm, I didn't catch your name miss?" Will had followed her to a crate and had helped her lift it, he was in a bit of shock at her strength
"That is because I didn't give it. And don't ever call me miss, or luv. Bad memory's with that word."
"Sorry, so you are not going to tell me your name?" what was with her? Who doesn't want to share their name?
"Doesn't look like it, take a right!" she ordered him and shot him a look of annoyance, which made her green eyes shoot with color
Lilly was getting annoyed with this Will fellow. He had too much questions. She wasn't in the mood to waste energy on talking. She only had about five more big crates and the rest were small ones that could pile on each other. "There are stairs, want to switch sides? I can go up the stairs with my back to them better that I think you can."
"Fine." they did a bit of a walk-around and Lilly headed up the stairs with her back to them. She knew how many stairs there were and if anything funny happened when you stepped on some. They had reached the gangplank and Lilly went down first. She didn't know that the Captain was watching her or that he was at the bottom of the gangplank. She reached her last step down.
"Hey, there is someone behind yo......" too late. She just barley bumped into the captain, but it did send him to fall on his ass. Which she found to be quite funny. She kept walking to place the crates down. Her and Will did quickly and she walked to the Captain in a hurry.
"Here." she held out her hand to help him up
"I don't need your help." he shot her a not so nice look
"Sorry Captain. I didn't know you were there. It was an accident."
"Don't give me your excuses! You knew I was there! You did it on purpose!"
"I did not such thing! How would I have known you were there!!" Will watched her argue with the Captain as if she didn't think him any better than her, she was be falsely accused so he felt it right to speak up for her
"She is right sir. Sorry but I failed to mention that you were behind her, I was in the middle of telling her. But she walks faster than I thought. I will take the blame." This girl shot him another look, one of anger and confusion. Her eyes seemed to light up when she was mad.
Lilly was in shock, what is he doing! I don't need him to fight my battles! Who does he think he is!! He will be hearing from me latter.
The Captain had nothing to say. He couldn't get Lilly in trouble now that this boy had taken the blame. But he didn't want to tell the boy not to be part of the crew. He liked the lad. He would just have to inform him later of how this girl was a bad seed.
"Well than. Back to work everyone. Be sure to Welcome young mister Turner to our crew!" the captain thought of something to say.
As soon as the captain began to speak Lilly walked below deck. Will stayed behind, the captain had grabbed him for a talk.
"Look lad, don't be getting all buddy buddy with Lilly over there." Ahh so that was her name!"She isn't the kind of lass that a lad like you needs to know. She won't be your bed warmer if you know what I mean." Will had already figured this out, the Captain was walking Will over to the stairs
"Alright Captain, thanks for the advice." Will wasn't going to use it however, he could tell the captain didn't like this Lilly. He would have to make up his own mind about her. He headed down the stairs when the captain said one more thing
"Will, its nice to have you arbored!"Will looked back to the Captain, not noticing the person with a lot of crates in her hands coming up those same stairs
"Thanks."
Lilly had decided to carry more than one crate to get it done faster. That is when disaster struck. Lilly could not see past the crates. And Will wasn't looking. They collided. Lilly's crates went in a bunch of different place. Hopefully nothing broke for she would be held responsible. None of the crates opened luckily! Will had fallen back onto the stairs. He got up and saw Lilly on the ground looking mad yet again.
"I am soo sorry!" Will walked over to her and lifted her up
"Get your hands off me! I don't need your help! Go bump into some other crew member!" she stormed over to one of the crates and picked it up. Than to another. Will watched, than helped. He just couldn't resist.
"Here." he placed it on top of all of the other ones she was caring "Lilly, do you need help?"
"NO! Wait? What the hell! How do you know my name?"
"The Captain, let me help you! Please!"
"Good God! I don't need your bloody help! I can manage by myself. Go grab some other crates if you wish to help!"
"Fine! I only want to help! Sorry!" she sighed and walked up the stairs and down the plank and off to the other crates and down the stairs and Will was walking up. He held the few small crates he had up and turned so that there was room enough for both to walk by. It wasn't much room though. Lilly could feel his breath as she walked by. And their eyes met. She shot him let another look. But he just laughed. She kept walking to the crates. She looked around, there were not that many left! She was happy. She even had extra time! She grabbed the last few and told some of the cabin boys to get of their lazy asses and help. Lilly carried the last few boxes up the stairs and out into the day and set them atop. She couldn't resist gloating in front of the Captain. She walked over and put her hands on her hips
"Captain, I am done. May I take a break?" she hadn't noticed Will
"Ahh,........."
"Yea cap'n!" Will chirped in
"Will, yes I guess a break would be fine! Oh and Lilly, while you are on this break you can show Will where he is to sleep."
"But Captain, we don't have any extra hammocks."
"Oh thats right! Well than since you seem to be his guide he can have yours and you can share with one of the other willing crew members!" she was shocked! This is his repayment! Holy Hell she hated him!! He was horrible! There was no chance she was going to sleep with one of the crew members! She would rather be sent to Davy Jones Locker!
"Aye captain." she said with all the enthusiasm gone from her tone.
Will was in shock. He didn't think coming aboard would but another crew member out! Or that the captain would treat her this way! Lilly stormed off the crew quarters with Will close behind. When they reached the quarters Will spoke up.
"You know, I didn't think he was gonna do something like that. You don't have to give me your hammock. You can keep it! I sleep on the floor."
"Thanks but, then men wont have it. It is captains orders. If I am not sharing I will get into trouble."
"That doesn't seem to bother you too much." she laughed
"Yes I know but those are orders. I like to disobey things he says.I could get in big trouble for disobeying. Its fine. I'll find someone to share with."
"Wont they wish more of you?"
"Yes well, that is the price I must pay isn't it." Will was shocked at this! Would she really? He didn't fell right, it would be fault that she would get passed around the men like a bottle of rum. He than got an idea
"You could share withe me you know, I wont expect anything of you. We could sleep head to toe, toe to head type of thing. And it wouldn't be disobeying his orders."
"Really? You would do that for me?" it was now her turn to be shocked
"Why not!"
"Fine than, but if you get any trouble from any of the men dont come to me! My.. I mean our" that sounded strange"hammock is over here. In the back." she weaved around to the back "This is it."
Will looked at it. It was just a regular hammock. But it was small. This sleeping situation would be hard. But he would face that when the time came.
"Thank you for showing me, now if you don't mind can I take a bit of a nap?"
"You read my mind!"
"Oh, you can have the hammock, I will take a nap on the floor."
"I wouldn't have it any other way!" she walked over to the hammock and jumped into it and it swayed under her weight. Will watched her. She was a strange woman, not like any he had met before. Than his tiredness sunk in and he sunk to the floor and slept.
