Chapter I
My story began in a small village at the edge of the sea. I lived in a small house at the edge of a black stone cliff, waves crashed against it so hard that I'd wonder if my small house would fall into the beauty of the sea. My mother was a whore and my father, well my mother nor I knew who he was. I was reaching the age of maturing, so of course, my mother wanted me to start in her profession of work. I had no interest in such activities. I wanted to sail the seas. No, not as one of those bloody Red Coats, but as a captain of the finest vessel, a pirate captain.
"Jacqueline, I'll be gone for the night. Don't you think of running off again, my girls will tell me!" My mother shouted as she slammed the door, leaving for yet another costumer.
No time to reply anyways... I thought to myself.
I looked out the dirty window at the deep blue sea. I loved to imagine what it'd be like to sail upon her. Then, I saw my opportunity to live my dreams. A solid black ship with a pirate flag had docked at the small dock below my house. I changed into my brown leather pants, white baggy shirt with the ruffled sleeves, and put my belt with my gun on my waist. Yes, very stereotypical clothing for a pirate, but this was my chance. I slipped on my leather boots and grabbed my sword and headed out of the door, not glancing back. I had been hiding these pieces of clothing from my mother for years, waiting for my chance. It had come.
I ran down the rocky hillside to the dock to meet the captain. My long black locks were messy from the wind, giving me a better pirate look. My stride was confident as I approached this ship. A man with dreadlocks and flowing hair stood with the captain's hat on his head. He wore a long brown leather trench coat and a faded red bandanna was tied around his head under the captain's hat. He turned around at the sound of my boots on the weathered wood of the dock.
"Ahoy Lass, are ye lost?" He spoke with a bit of a slur.
"No Sir, I be lookin' for a captain to follow." I replied.
His eyes scanned me quickly and a slight smirk appeared on his young, yet weathered face. He seemed to be a young captain.
"Aye, and you be wanting to join me crew?" He said as he gestured to his crew of men.
"Aye sir," I said as I stopped a few feet in front of him.
"I don't let just anyone aboard me ship. Lass, do ye know the name of this vessel?"
Who wouldn't know?
"Aye sir, she be the Black Pearl. And you be Captain Jack Sparrow, there be no mistakin' it."
A smile appeared on his face, some of his teeth were gold.
"You're right lass. What're you good at?" He said as he walked closer.
"Just about anythin' Captain. You name it, I can do it." I said confidently.
He looked back at his crew and turned back to me with a smirk.
"What is your name?"
Jacqueline is no name for a pirate.
"Jinx, captain."
"Welcome aboard the Black Pearl, Jinx," he said with a golden smirk and an extended hand.
I shook his hand and smiled.
"Thank you, sir."
