Chapter 1: A Pirate's Life For Me
Anna opened up her eyes and once again examined her circumstances, a small level above a repulsive pub owned by her mother, Gazelle, same old thing everyday.
Anna got up reluctantly and slipped on her red and black corset and skirt, actually it was her mother's they were only about 17 years apart and had almost identical sizes. She tied her strawberry blonde hair in a high ponytail with some hair still left in the front and preceded downstairs.
Each step down was followed by gunshot after gunshot and the breaking of glass. When she got downstairs she got herself some water and bread and began serving some customers. 'The sun's rising and they're already drinking.' She thought to herself.
"Annalisa! Annalisa!" she heard her mother call off from the far end of the tavern. Annalisa was a name her mother came up with; Anna hated it and would rarely answer to it.
She slowly walked toward her mother in her usual manner. Her mother was extremely skinny and extremely blonde her lipstick was already smudged meaning that she had most likely messed with half the men in Tortuga already. "Ya." She responded.
"How much ya make already?"
"Few dozen shillings worth already through rum."
"And…?"
Anna rolled her eyes and stormed off back to the drunkards she knew exactly what her mother meant. Her mother believed in one thing and one thing only 'profit'. "Anything for a shilling or two." She'd say every minute; her high-pitched voice was literally embedded in Anna's mind.
Her mother who obviously didn't take the hint followed her and asked her to run the tavern for the rest of the day.
"All by me self?!?" Anna said enraged, she could only tolerate the drunken bastards for about half a second.
"Look if I don't go we will miss out on a great profit."
"How much?" Anna asked.
"A helluva lot more than a bottle o' rum I can tell ya that." Gazelle said with a gleam in her eye. "Besides maybe you can make a tad more if ya stayed around here long enough."
"Forget it! Why don't ya ask Scarlet or Rosalie? Hell! Ask Bethany for all I care!"
Gazelle then dragged Anna to the back room where most of the rum was stored and closed the door. "Look Annalisa how old ya now? Seventeen? When I was thirteen me dad kicked me out and made me live by me lonesome savvy. Now I coulda done that to ya, but I didn't. Now I will. Profit on your on time love. Ya got a week to get yer things outta me pub."
Anna stood there in shock, where was she going to go? What was she going to do? The only thing that she knew she had to do was get the hell out of that tavern.
She ran upstairs and threw her clothes in a bag along with some shillings she snatched from the rum profit and her mother's stash. She was keeping the dress too.
As she made her way to the door she looked back in the pub once more and ran to the counter where she grabbed bits of food, her mother was in the corner seducing someone. Anna watched as the man passed a shilling to her mother as she slowly moved her hands downwards.
Anna stormed out of the pub but caught one bit of a conversation in the corner of the room "The Black Pearl is docked on the harbor I think Jacks finally come to see that kid o' his."
Her father was back.
