Chapter One
Her Story
I stand out at the edge of the dock looking up at the ship. So this was the Black Pearl? I can see how it got it's name. I pull my bag up over my shoulder. I keep my head down as I start to board the ship. I feel a gentle hand pull at my arm.
"Erm…miss…women are not allowed on board." Mr. Gibs gently said to me.
"And why the Hell not?" I glare into his eyes. I watch him as he fidgets anxiously. "Well, are you going to give me a reason or am I to drag it out of you?" I stand there with my hands on my hips.
"Well it's bad luck to have a woman on board … and it seems as if we already have enough bad luck."
I glare at him and grab him by the front of his shirt. I reach for my dagger and bring it to his throat.
"Well, it seems to be bringing you bad luck to not have me aboard." I snarl.
I feel a heavy hand on my shoulder that gently pull me away from nearly killing Mr. Gibs. I turn to see him. The infamous Captain jack Sparrow. I've even seen a glimpse of him here or there but I've never met him up close before. I swat his hand away from my shoulder in annoyance. I could feel his eyes grazing along me.
"Do you always dress like that?" He motions towards me with a look on his face that could only be described as amused mixed with a bit of curiosity.
I glance down at myself. I wore black knee high boots, tight black trousers, and a dark red blouse with a black corset over it. I look back up at him.
"Yes, as a matter of fact, I do." I stood there with my hands on my hips.
"Well, now, that's not how a proper woman dresses." Captain Jack Sparrow grins.
"Well, perhaps I'm not a proper woman." I blush after I register what I said.
"I was hoping that' what you'd say." He leans into me and moves my dark brown hair away from my ear and whispers, "Welcome aboard the Pearl." I push him away and storm aboard the ship.
As I walk away I hear Jack say, "I like her, she's feisty." I just couldn't help but grin
