DICLAIMER!:I DON'T OWN PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN!
I groaned as I felt sunlight on my face. I opened my eyes, sitting up. Sky, my familiar moved, letting me stand. The large white wolf yawned, flashing his fangs. Most people would be shivering by now, but I wasn't scare to him. Sky chose to become my familiar when I was younger and had stayed by me ever since. He gave my hand a nudge as I rubbed his head. I smiled. Sky was my only friend here at the port. I live a ways off the main town, in an old rundown shack. I slipped into my dress, wrinkling my nose. I preferred my trousers and shirts, but when getting food, one must make sacrifices. I looked at Sky.
"You coming or staying?" I asked. He looked at me.
"I'll come, some has to make sure you don't get into trouble," he growled. I rolled my eyes.
"One time, and I'll never live it down," I grumbled.
"It wasn't one time pup, don't lie," he growled back. I huffed, grabbing my cloak.
I made my way to the docks first. I knew a couple of the fishermen there. They always gave me good fish at a decent price. I had worked for them, cooking aboard their ships, or mending sails or nets. One, Walsh grinned at me.
"Lassie!" he called. I grinned at him.
"Walsh," I greeted, snatching up a basket. Sky barked a greeting to the fisherman, sniffing his hands. Walsh laughed, rubbing his ears.
"And how're yeh and the big fella?" he grinned at me.
"Well enough," I shrugged. Sky leaned against my side. His back came to my elbow. Walsh nodded, handing me three good sized fish. I paid him and made my way to the market.
The market was busy, even for the early hour. I sighed.
"Stay close Sky," I murmured, knowing he'd hear me. I knew that he would stick to my side. The warmth from his body was a comfort I relished. He was my rock. I heard the whispers start up as Sky and I walked into the market. Ignoring them, I went first to the fruit stall, buying several apples and an orange. I got some potatoes and onions, handing the heavy basket to Sky. He took the handle in his mouth, while I looked at some cloth. I needed a new cloak. I'd have to make it myself, premade cloaks were expensive. I chose some rough material and paid.
Sky and I made our way down to the beach. I had meat, cheese, and some bread to eat for lunch sat down on the sand, relishing in the warmth seeping into my legs. I dug the bread and cheese out, giving the meat to Sky.
"Eat up," I grinned. Sky bared a fang at me in mild irritation, but began tearing at the meat. I ate my food slowly, watching as ships came and went. I wished I could go with them, but no one would want me on a ship. Not only was I a girl, but if word got out about my blood, my powers, I'd be killed or worse. Sky knew where my thoughts were going because he nudged my arm with his nose. I scratched his ears.
Sky suddenly growled, shooting to his feet. I was on mine in an instant, my dagger in my palm.
"Go," I muttered. Sky lunged forward, a blue of white.
Jack Sparrow did not expect to see a woman on the beach he was sleeping on. She sat down on the sand, her white wolf lying next to her. The girl gave the wolf some meat, eating her own bread and cheese. His stomach rumbled. The wolf shot to its feet, growling. The girl was on her feet soon after. She muttered something and Jack found himself pinned by a huge, angry white wolf.
"Who are you!?" the girl demanded, striding up. Jack could see a dagger in her hand. She was willing to fight if need be. The wolf's muzzle was close to his throat, growling. Jack got the message. One wrong answer and his throat would be torn out.
"Captain Jack Sparrow," he grinned at the girl. He could see now that her hair was a bright white. Her eyes were a dark blue, the color of the sea. She was pretty, in an exotic way.
"Sky let him up," the girl ordered. The wolf growled, backing off, letting him sit up. The wolf, Sky, sat in front of the girl.
"What's yer name lass?" Jack inquired. The girl studied him warily.
"Maggie," she bit out.
"Maggie, odd name," he commented. She shrugged. The girl studied him with curious eyes.
"Pirate?" she nodded at the visible brand. Jack cursed, yanking his sleeve down. The girl smiled, tearing a strip of cloth from her dress, handing it to him. "Cover up with that."
Maggie led Jack to her little shack. He was stunned. She lived alone in this little hovel? Maggie set her food on a small rickety table. She tucked a lock of tangled hair behind her ear. Jack stood awkwardly as she rested her head on the table. On closer inspection, he could see dark circles under her eyes.
"Why does lass like you live alone?" he asked.
"No one really likes me in town. I help the fishermen out, but their wives despise me. No, not like that!" she glared at Jack as his eyebrow rose. "I mend sails, nets or cook for them!" she spat. Jack blinked. It was obvious that had been suggested to her before.
I glared at the pirate, how dare he suggest such a thing! I may be poor, but I do have morals! Sky let out a growl, butting his head against my leg. I scratched his ears.
"Didn't mean to offend you," Jack grumbled. I shrugged. Really, I shouldn't have lost my temper.
"S'alright," I muttered. "I don't like it being implied when I haven't done…" I trailed off, flushing. Jack's eye brow shot up and he grinned.
"Oh," was all he grunted.
I sat down, leaning my head against the wall. Sky nuzzled my arm. I rubbed his ears.
"I'm fine Sky," I muttered. The wolf growled at me. I opened my eyes, glaring at him. "I said I'm fine."
"Don't lie pup," he growled back. Jack jumped to his feet, hand on his cutlass.
"Nice going," I hissed at my familiar. He gave me a wolf grin. I glared at him. "Jack calm down, no one else is here besides you me and Sky," I barked at the man. He blinked.
"Yeh mean the wolf was talking?" he inquired.
"Yep, I talk," Sky replied. I glared at him.
"Thanks a lot Sky. Now I have to tell him about me and then we need to run," I hissed, moving and grabbing a satchel. I stuffed the bread, fruit and cheese, wrapping the cloth I was going to use to make a new cloak, into it. Jack watched, stunned.
"Wha're you talking about?" he grunted. I grabbed my shirt, trousers and boots.
"I'm a witch. Not like some of the ones how use potions though," I began, grabbing a blanket and making a makeshift changing screen. "I have real power, drawn from the earth…or the sea, mostly the sea since salt water is a great conductor for magic." I was babbling, I knew it, a nervous tick of mine. I got behind the screen and changed rapidly. I had little time. I loosely tied the ties on the front of my shirt. As I darted out, a hand grasped my shoulder.
"Calm down," Jack grunted as I lashed out at him. He let me go, but stood between me and the door. Sky watched the man.
"You don't mean to turn her in do you?" he stated.
"No, but I am taking her with me," he grinned. I stared at him. He was grinning widely. It unnerved me a little. Jack knelt down and placed his hand on my shoulder.
"What are you talking about?" I whispered. Jack squeezed my shoulder gently and helped me to the table, sitting me down.
"Well, you've no one right? Why not travel with me?" he grinned. I blinked. Then I nodded, smiling. Sky grinned.
"Only if Sky can come," I said. Jack nodded.
AND DONE! First chapter up! Review please!
