Maximum Pyrate

The simple things in life are completely worthwhile, the sun for example. It's rays warm my skin, making it feel so good. The wind's are flipping my hair around swiftly. I hope this last's….

"Captain! A merchant ship is coming at up starboard!" Yelled Iggy, he is my 2nd mate on my beautiful ship.

"Max! Get down before they see you! They might suspect us." Hissed my younger sisters, Ella and Angel, they are both passengers on my gorgeous ship.

"I think they want us to go down, Max. Should we listen ,or should we let that scrumptious merchant ship, loaded with gold ,spices,silk…"My 1st mate cooed from higher up the ratlines. I stiffened and slowly smiled evilly.

"I think that poor ship is just begging us to help lighten her. She has traveled such a long way. She must be extremely tired." I grinned as I climbed down the rat lines only to have my sister, Ella, angrily stomp towards me. Hmmmm...this could be a problem.

"You are so pig headed! Why don't you listen to me and Angel? Angel is mature for her age and I am better at many things you aren't! Use your sarcastic logic for once!"Ella fumed.

"Ella, I'm sure Max was being foolish and selfish. Please spare us your terrible anger. Also think of your beautiful complexion, I hear that to much exposure to the sun can ruin it." My first mate dramatically pleaded. Ella fought a smile.

"You're such a rogue. I can't stay mad at you for long. Max, however is another story."Ella sauntered to her cabin with Angel. I let a sigh of relief out.

"You owe me Max. I have saved you once again from the terrible Eleanor Martinez!"

"How many times now?" I yawned.

"Hmmmm..., three times from the British excuse for a navy, once from the Saint Christopher, a spanish brigatine. I think the total is six if you include saving you from Ella's wrath. Maybe once from Iggy when you stole some of his 'personal' items."

"She flies British colors Cap'n. She looks like she means to pass us by."Iggy called.

"Load the cannons! Get ready!" I yelled. Everyone went to their posts. The merchant ship would be withing striking distance in five...four...three...two..."FIRE!" I commanded. The merchant ships crew looked dazed.

"What is the meaning of this! These are safe waters..."Called their captain, an middle age graybeard.

"Aye ,mate! These are free water's. Prepare to be boarded." I called. The captains face was of pure fury. My men started to board and unarm the crew. I sauntered over to the captain.

"Are you the captain? Where is the first mate? I want you both written up!"Spat the captain. I smiled and tilted my head roguishly.

"Sir, you wished to see me?" My first mate's dark brown hair with its gold streaks asked impishly.

"No, I want to see the captain and his first mate!"He roared.

"Ahem, sorry to interrupt your manly show of incompetence ,but we are here."

"What? You're girls! Women! You and your kind are inferior to men!"

"Sir, you have said quite enough."I gave him a death glare. He made as if to strike me.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you. Give the captain respect or she'll let me have MY way."Growled my first mate. Her nails dug into his skin, his wrists were now bleeding. I saw a flicker of fear in the captains eyes.

"I think you should let go now."I prodded her arm gently. Her eyes cleared and she let go. Leaving the captain demoralized and in excruciating pain.

"What do you want from me? I don't carry any precious cargo's."The captain wrung his hands nervously. His eyes darted around.

"That is where you are wrong. You have just proved yourself wrong. ! What does his cargo hold contain?"I smiled.

"Spices, silk, silver, and wood. We haven't searched the ship thoroughly yet captain." Iggy replied.

"Well, get moving then!"I ordered.

"What shall we ever do with this one, Max? Feed him to Total and Akila? They might not like him though."Mused my first mate, jerking a thumb in the unfortunate man.

"Let's set him adrift in a small coracle. I think we have one that is."I looked toward Dylan, my unfortunate midshipman.

"Yes, Captain. We do have a three on board. We can spare one."He flashed a smile. He has been trying to woo me for years. He isn't a good sailor anyway.

"Come along ,sir, we must point you in the right direction. That way is land. You and two of your men shall accompany you. meanwhile we will confiscate your cargo and let your sailors keep your ship. Under certain conditions of course."I smiled sweetly.

"Curse you! You mmmfff!"He was cut off by Iggy's hand ,and escorted away. His crew eyed me warily.

"Okay men, here is the deal, you can sail with me and become one of my crew, or you can sail away, promising not to follow us and attempt to retake your cargo. What do you say?" I bellowed.

"We will follow you Captain! Who will command this ship though?" Demanded the crew's spokesperson.

"My second mate James Ignacius Fletch will be your captain and if you have any complaints against him, let me know."I declared.

"Who will be his first mate?"

"You will, that is if you agree?"I smiled. The man jerked his head in acknowledgment.

"Who are you?"Asked a ships boy.

"Why I am Maximum Ride, dreaded pirate of the ocean and enemy of all kings and lords!"

Okay, so how does everyone like this story so far? This is all in Max's pov. I forgot the disclaimer didn't I. None of the characters are mine except the ones I create. If I did own Max Ride characters I would be correcting Fang and the newest unreleased book (you can see an exert of Angel the newest book on his real website(try putting his name in google, it might work). Also needless to say Dylan would either die, never exist, or be paired with someone else. Anyway, I hope you guys liked this chapter! Please review!
