This is my first story, I'm not sure how good it is so please review. Basically it is about Gracie (my charactor) and Captain Teageu (Jack's dad) and their well lives. Gracie is actually the grandmother to my main pirate charactor, but i figured it'd be easier to write about her first. Oh ya, I decided that Teague's first name is Andrew, don't ask why but I fugured that the man needed a knida weird name. Edward would have made things too confusing. So enjoy, and please comment!
She walked with a slight stagger in her steps. She wasn't drunk, but then again she had sea legs, not land legs. She walked into a room and saw who she was looking for. "Andrew there ye are" she said before taking a drink of the rum. He rolled his eyes and smiled slightly. "how many times do I have to ask ye not to call me that. Grace" she rolled her eyes "ye fight dirty, Teague." As she talked he placed the guitar next to the chair that he was sitting in, carefully standing it up so that it wouldn't fall. He knew that he'd never be able to concentrate, she'd never allow that. She talked to much. "what's on your mind Gracie" he said. She went closer to him, seeing his guitar on the other side of the chair she smiled. He was always playing that guitar, he needed a brake or well who knows what would happen. He might become attached to it or something. She sat on the edge of his chair, facing the opposite side of his guitar. She shrugged her shoulders. "Eh the usual. Wonderin' if we'll ever get this damn meeting over." He shook his head unseen by the female pirate. He knew that there was more than just that. "What else Gracie. Ye knew that ye can't lie ter me. Known ye to long. Your getting predictable."
She turned suddenly he looked at her unsurprised, and shrugged his shoulders. "See, not even ye gettin' anger is scary anymore." She looked at him and raised an eyebrow. She was in no way predictable. That was one of the very few traits that she shared with her. "Teague I bet ye five shillings that I can surprise ye in the next three minutes." He thought about this for a second. No way could he lose, besides he would just have to lie if she did win. "Deal."
As soon as he finished she stood up and went in front of him placing her hands on her hips; her right hand still clutching the rum bottle. She took a drink of rum not once breaking free of his gaze; his deep brown eyes. She mentally shook her head. 'Too much rum' she thought.
"Alright what do you think I'm gonna do?" "Well now if I tell ye then ye won't do it, so that's not exactly fair now is it?" he replied with a sly smile. She tapped her foot as she thought about that. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a small piece of paper. From the nearby desk she grabbed a pen. "Write it down. And I can read so don't you dare say that I can't!" he looked up from the paper, he was writing something, he showed it to her. In scraggily crooked letters it said "claim ye can't read" she frowned as he laughed. She stamped her foot. "Damn you. I'm still gonna win though." He sat there writing something else as he chuckled. She stuck her tongue out at him and kicked his chair. He started laughing harder even though she had missed his leg by an inch. She was now hopping around the room holding her foot. "Ye see that surprised ye!" he stopped laughing and read out loud. "will make a face ,attempt to hurt me, but will hurt self by accident." She glared at him. He shrugged his shoulders. "Jest quit while yer behind." He said as he started jotting something else down. She suddenly ripped the paper out of his hand and read. "Will steal this, get angery, and glare," she looked up and glared without even realizing it. He started laughing harder. She couldn't lose this bet. It would prove that she was changing; getting old. Plus she didn't have five shillings to spare. She went directly in front of him and took another swig of rum. "Gracie lay off the rum before ye get drunk. Again." Teague said without looking up from whatever he was writing this time. She had an idea. Teague looked up, slightly bored. He saw her eyes glint for a second, letting him know that she was up to something. She looked at him slyly, he returned the look, only his eyes showed curiosity. "how much time do I have?" she asked still looking at him in the eyes. He broke her gaze however to turn his head to look at the clock behind her. "like a minute, so go on get goin' with this grand master plan o' yers." "Alright, mate, get that money ready."
He rolled his eyes. She was going to tell him something very private, embarrassing or just steal the money from his pocket he just knew it. Then she did something which did surprise him. She walked around his chair to wear she was sitting before, but instead of sitting on the edge she sat on him putting an arm around him (the one holding the rum) and let her other arm hang limp off the side of the chair. Still surprised she looked at him mischievously, grinning. Without a warning she leaned over and kissed him on the lips lightly. When she pulled away, she saw Teague looking thoroughly surprised and confused. With her arm (not the arm around him) she swiped his hat off his head and placed it on her own, finishing by crossing her legs. "Well I do believe that you owe me five shillings Andrew." He stared at her for a few seconds before coming to realization to what had just happened. "Wait. That's not fair. You cheated." She smiled and looked at him and simply stated "Pirate. Remember." He frowned as she slowly read what he had written. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the money and handed it to her. She simply shrugged. "Ok I'll admit I defiantly wasn't expecting something like that." He said, while still trying to get over the fact that she kissed him. She didn't reply but instead took another swig of rum, still trying to read what he had written. "Gracie." "Hmm." he didn't know how to ask her so he decided to just spit to out. "When did ye learn ter kiss like that?" she looked at him and laughed. "Teague, are you serious? Think. Ye know the answer. I dated 'em both fer a while." He shrugged his shoulders "Wait I thought ye were still dating tha' one, wos his face." She made a look of digust. "Eww no. I'm so over him. I mean did ye hear wot he did-" she cut off suddenly and looked towards the door and grabbed her gun and fired it at it. "Come now Gracie, whatever was that for?"said a voice belonging to a women, with a accent.
Gracie, no longer looking happy and joking around, now looked now positively angry. "Calm down, Grace, it won't do any good fer ye to get in another fight with her." Teague whispered. She didn't reply, or get off him, instead she just stared at the door as a woman walked in. she was wearing elaborate clothes, and had dark skin and hair. She held her head high as she walked and seemed totally unfazed by the glare Gracie was giving her, and Gracie's attempt to kill her, again. "Now really Gracie, what was that for? I just wanted to have a word with you. Hello Captain Teague." She said with a nod of her head. He nodded his head back, and placed his own hat back on his head. "Calypso." He said. Gracie lightly hit him in the back with a rum bottle, for reason's unknown to him. "Well Gracie, are you going to get up and talk to me or do I have to force you up." "No, no. I can get up by myself, I don't need a witches help." With that Gracie stood up, as did Teague only for Calypso to monition for him to sit again. "This should only take a moment Captain" he shrugged his shoulders and sat down again. Gracie took another drink of rum, before passing the bottle to Teague. He almost sighed with relief. That was one less weapon to tempt her to use against the Goddess. She knew how important it was not to upset her. She controlled the seas, and could kill them all if she wanted to. Yet Gracie didn't seem to even care, she treated the Goddess as a common pirate. Not even that most of the time. He watched as the two women walked into another room. The Goddess was trying to tell Gracie something, but Gracie was ignoring her, she turned around and looked at Teague. "Be back in a minute Andrew, then we can finish our conversation." She said winking at him. Calypso looked enraged by this and quickly turned around to look at Teague who only held up his hands in innocence. Gracie already knew what Calypso wanted to say to her, and Gracie really didn't care, she couldn't care less actually. It was none of her business.
When they reached the next room Gracie put her hands on her hips and looked at her. "alrigh' before you say anything. I know exactly what you want ter talk to be about, and my answer is: it's really none of your business." She said cutting to the point. At that the sea Goddess smiled and said "Ah, but Gracie you misunderstood me. I wasn't going to ask what you were doing with him. I know exactly what you've done with him. And I want you to stop it. Immediately." Her eyes started to grow angrier with each word she spoke. By the time she finished her eyes were stormy and grey, that would have scared anyone. But it seemed to have no effect on Gracie, who as a matter of fact looked angry as well. "Alrigh' I know tha' ye and him have yer past an' all, but ye did kinda, well I don't know. Tricked him to condemn himself fer eternity! So ye could run around and focus on killing people more." "How dare ye, Gracie. Ye forget your place. Need I remind you tha' I have control over the seas, regardless o' Davy? Tha' I can sink yer ship, crew and you leaving you to the locker? That that would be the last time ye ever got to be with 'im. You dead and him having to escort you to the land o' the dead?" she snapped back. Gracie held out her arms and replied "Ye've been saying that for a while now, haven't ye, yer highness" she said mocking and a false bow "well guess wot Calypso . I'm still here, alive and kickin'. Ye haven't killed me yet, why should I believe that your going to do it now?" she replied satisfied. They both knew it was true. Calypso had been threatening her for years now, with no harm done yet. "Yes but Gracie, once this meeting is over, you had better pass on you lordship, for that will be the end of ye" at that Gracie rolled her eyes, enraging Calypso. "You doubt. You dare doubt what I am capable of? Oh Gracie I will show you what I can do." With that she placed a hand at Gracie's throat and started choking her, one handed.
Gracie didn't fight it though. "Uh, ya. The meeting ain't over yet so ye might as well put me down." Gracie said.
"Teague!! Get in here." Yelled the Goddess. A seond later Teague was there staring at the two women. One, whom was choking the other. "What in the world is going on in here?" he half shouted. He looked at Gracie who merely shrugged her shoulders. "Not my fault." She said. The other two rolled their eyes at this. "Pass it on. Gracie, damn you! Pass your lordship on now, unless you wish to be condemned forever." Teague's eyes widened at this. "What in the world did you say to her Gracie?" he shouted looking at her. "Oh fine, automatically assume it was me why don't cha'. I mean the great and all powerful sea witch couldn't have done anything." As Gracie said witch Calypso only tightened her grip. "alrigh' fine, I told her tha' it was none o' her business what I do with him. Simple as that mate." Teague rolled his eyes. "Gracie, ye know that he loves her. Of course she'd be acting like this. Imagine if Edward were doing a similar thing to ye." He stopped suddenly forgetting that she hated talking about him. Calypso noticed the sudden change in Gracie's mood and instinctively loosened her grip on Gracie's throat. Gracie glared at Teague, as Calypso had just stared at her only moments before.
"Don't you ever. Ever! Say his name to me again Andrew Teague. Or I swear on pain o' death…" she trailed off not wanting to finish her sentence. Calypso however was intrigued by this. "So Gracie, what did he do to you? Did he too leave ye?" she mocked her "Well now, ye know how it feels I suppose." Gracie turned her attention back to her so fast that the Goddess actually flinched for a second seeing the rage in her eyes. She put her arm down. "No, as a matter a fact what he did to me was far worse than what Davy was or is doing to you. Get this straight Calypso. Don't ye ever talk about him in front of me again, or I will have my revenge on you. And you will regret it. Savy?" the goddess replied by waving her hand and leaving the room. Teague looked at her. "I didn't mean. What I'm trying to say is. Look I didn't mean to bring his name up alrigh'. It was an accident it slipped. Forgive me?" he said truly sorry. She thought about it for a minute. She swiped the rum bottle out of his hand and took a drink. "Aye. I forgive ye. I knew tha' ye didn't mean it, its jest. Its hard Teague. And ter think tha' he'll be here soon for the meeting. Always was one to be late." She shook her head as the two walked out of the room, with their arms around each others shoulders. As Gracie took one last swig of the bottle, Teague tried to grab it from her, but failed to do so. "Gracie. Ye and yer rum." He said laughing.
That's it for now, I hope that you liked it, I'll have the next two chapters up soon. Maybe. So please review and tell me what you thought of it.
