Hello! This is my first pirate fic so don't be too rough on me with the reviews, but all reviews are welcome! Um, ya, standard disclaimer applies (Disney owns all of their characters. Val is mine though.). This story isn't going to have anything about the new movie in it. I've seen it and loved it, but I had this story in my head before then. So, read on and review!
"BRING! BRING!" A hand shot out of blue and flipped open the annoying, buzzing device and brought it under the covers.
"Hello?" A sleepy voice answered.
"Val, are you up yet?" A male voice asked through the phone.
"It's…" Val lifted her head up and looked at the clock next to her bed before returning to the phone. "It's 5.20 Chris, why are you calling? We aren't supposed to be surfing for another hour and unlike you I like to sleep."
"Ya, well, I just got home." Chris was one of her friends who lived pretty close to where Val was currently staying.
"You just got home? From where?"
"I went out to a party last night and we just kept going from one house to another to another. You know how some of those parties are."
"Ya I know. So what? You want to postpone our meeting time till like 11? The beach will be crowded, but we can get some waves."
"No, I need to get into work as well. My boss called and wants me in at 10. We have a meeting with a big client and I need to be there. I've already missed enough days as it is."
"Alright, you owe me a surf trip though buddy."
"I know, I know. So what are you going to do today? Are you going to call Sophia or Alex?"
"No. My dad saw this island on his way home last weekend so I think I'll go check it out. He said I could use the helicopter."
"Alright, well call me when you're done and tell me how it is."
"You bet. Bye."
"Later."
Valeria hung up her phone and let her head fall back onto the pillow, where she promptly fell back to sleep.
oOoOoOo
A couple hours later Valeria woke back up to the first sign of light slipping through her blinds on the window. She looked around her room as she woke up and looked over her surf board collection.
Her dad was a big time realtor in LA, but had started traveling a lot. Now he had his hand in the traveling business, vacation homes, and some photography on the side when he can. Through his hard work he had given his little girl everything.
Unlike her dad Valeria, or Val to her friends, was carefree and just wanted to have fun. She wanted to be independent at the same time so when she was able to start working she got a part time job at the local Jamba Juice. When she turned 18, she tried out and became a beach lifeguard for LA County.
Ever since she could remember her dad had been taking her to the beach where she body surfed, paddled, and short and long board surfed. Her father had started buying her boards when he noticed her avid interest in the ocean sport. Her favorite was a plain white board that had red hibiscus flowers on the sides. It was her oldest and had seen most of the places she had surfed. It was 6'7" and could surf almost anything.
Her father had been called out to help a client look for a house in the Caribbean and Val readily agreed when her father asked if she wanted to come. The first thing she packed was her board and then the rest of her surfing gear. They were currently living in a time share that her dad's company owned and was letting them use.
"Good morning dad." Val said as she walked down to the kitchen where her father was drinking his mug of coffee and reading the newspaper.
"Morning angel." He said without looking u.
"Can I borrow the company helicopter today? I want to check out that island you found." She asked as she got out a cup and filled it with water.
"We need it around noon to show some clients a house, but if you want to just get dropped off then picked up later we can work something out."
"I want to leave in like 20 minutes and if you can pick me up around 3?"
"Alright, I'll call Dan now so he can be here when you're ready to leave."
"Thanks Dad!" Victoria rushed out of the kitchen to get her bag packed and gather everything else she needed.
"Do you have your cell phone?"
"Yes."
"Do you have towels, suit, wet suit, board shorts…"
"Yes, yes, yes, yes. Don't worry Dad I have everything. Dan's here and I have to go if you want the helicopter back in time for your client."
"Alright, get going and I'll see you tonight."
"Bye Dad!" Valeria walked over to the helicopter where Dan helped her in and got her board into the helicopter. "Let's go Danny! I want to get in the water!"
"Get ready, we're lifting off." Dan said as he slowly took the helicopter up and away from the landing pad in the back field of Val's house. "We'll be there in about half an hour. The island isn't that big, but your dad saw some surf he said you'd like."
"I hope he's right. I need some new surfing areas." Val looked out the windshield and watched all the crystal clear water and the good surf she was currently passing.
"There it is." Dan pointed out of the window to a small island that they were circling around. There was enough beach on one side for Danny to land the helicopter and get all of Val's gear out.
"The surf looks pretty good. Thanks for bringing me."
"No problem, I'll be back at three alright? Meet me here and be ready. I don't want to try and fish you out of the water like last time."
"Alright, I guess I'll be nice since you and Dad found this place. I'll see you later." Danny just nodded as he got back in the pilot's seat and started flying back so he could fuel up before picking up the clients.
Val quickly got changed into her wet suit so she could get more time out in the water and from the looks of it there was a lull so a set was going to be coming in soon. She picked up her board, strapped her leash onto her ankle and headed out to the water. The sand was soft on her feet, unlike many of the rocky beaches she had surfed, and the water was warm enough to make her think about just wearing her board shorts and suit. Sure her stomach might get scratched from the wax, but the water was too perfect to let the chance slip.
When she finally returned to the water a set and passed so she waited for the next one. When the waves finally came Val paddled to catch the waves the jumped up and started riding down the face until the waves crashed. The routine went on for about an hour with a couple wipe outs from tricks or her just not catching one or two.
Val decided to go back to the beach to get some water and some food that she had packed. While getting some water she looked back out at the beach. The waves peacefully crashing onto the shore, an occasional bird calling, and the white sand shifted with the rare huff of wind or the water that soaked it.
That's when she noticed it. At first it looked like a dark spot on the horizon, but when the object started getting closer she realized it was a boat, no, a very large ship. Like something you'd see in a pirate movie.
"What's a ship that old doing here?" Val thought to herself. She watched until the ship disappeared behind the other side of the island. Letting the thought drop Val got her surfboard and re-entered the water. Again she went for about an hour just enjoying life and being out on an island that most didn't know about.
When Val was done with about 2 hours of surfing she went back in and found a nice shady spot near the forest where she laid out her towel and promptly fell asleep.
That was how the men that were looking around in the forest found her. "Gibbs, there's someone over 'ere." One of the men said.
"It's a woman, but she barely has anything on. She has less on then the Tortuga women." Another said.
"Let me see." The man the first guy had referred to said as he pushed through the group. "Well here being a woman is obvious enough. Let's see if we can rouse her." Gibbs knelt down and started poking the woman on her side. "Miss, miss, wake up."
"Miss, miss, wake up." A voice reached through the sleep that crowded Val's mind. Val slapped the hand that was poking at her side before trying to fall back asleep. The hand started shoving and Val finally got sick of the abuse.
"Danny! I don't think it's 3 yet!" She hollered as she sat up. When realization struck her, Danny wasn't there and there were more than one men standing there. "Uh, woops."
"Miss, why are you here? Who are you?" A man asked.
"Those are better questions for the captain."
"Aye, we should get you to the captain." The first man said.
"What captain? What's going on? Who are you?" Val started asking.
"Get up, we're going to see the captain." Another man said roughly bringing Val to her feet.
"Let go of me! Don't touch me!" Val hollered. She kicked the guy in the groan, and he promptly fell over. Then she started running before the others could grab her. As she ran she kept looking behind her to see the group still chasing her, but not gaining much speed. "Thank you Anne for making me run!" She thought as she started speeding up again. This time when she turned around to look at her pursuers she knocked into something that caused her to fall backwards.
"There wasn't a tree there." Val said. When she looked up she saw a man with a hat shading most of his face so she couldn't see anything about him, what looked like pirate clothes on, and a gun and sword strapped to his waste. "Shit."
