"You don't understand pirates Marie! They may seem brave, daring, and even cool but they'll betray you in a second if it benefits them." My mother looked at me desperately trying to make me understand.
"Father is a pirate." I simply replied.
All I got as a response was a reproachful glare.
"Don't worry Elizabeth I'll be fine." I usually called my mother by her name instead of mom. I rose up on my toes and kissed her cheek. She was taller than me by a fair amount, I was a bit on the tiny side. Despite my appearances I was very strong and I loved to surprise the people who would think I was just a weak, tiny 15 year old.
"After all even pirates can change." I hooked my sword onto my belt and put on a hat that was a bit too big. I didn't want to try to attract unnecessary attention so I was wearing boy clothes, with my hair pulled up I just looked like a scrawny boy.
"Be careful." My mother called as I walked out of the house.
Not too long after I had left I arrived at a busy dock. I passed by all the well dressed people coming to bring goods and kept walking until I got to a busier, more rough part of the dock.
"Just in time." I saw the small row of people waiting to be chosen as part of the crew or not. I slipped next to the last person in line.
A pirate walked down the row pointing out who would come with him. The pirate, who was obviously the captain, had long brown hair and had a small smirk on his face. A few feet away from him was a sort of scruffy man with a beard, that looked remotely nice.
"What do you think Gibbs?" The captain asked as he got to me.
The man walked over and looked at me, "I don't know Jack, seems the lad is a bit small."
"Sorry lad." Jack patted me on the shoulder before turning around.
Before he walked away I stepped out of the line and spoke to him. "Lad? That's a bit insulting."
Without turning around he called over his shoulder, "well then sorry lass.
I drew my sword and got into a fighting stance. "Fight me, if you win I'll go away."
Jack turned around looking annoyed. "You expect me to fight some little girl?"
I gritted my teeth but managed to reply back calmly, "yes I do expect that."
He shrugged and grabbed the sword Gibbs held out to him. "Your funeral."
He lunged at me, I could tell that he wasn't really trying. Guess I'll have to make him try.
I dodged and retaliated so quickly his sword went flying into the air and got stuck in the ground ten feet away. "Gonna actually try now?" I gave him a cocky grin.
Jack went and retrieved his sword. "Got attitude huh, I'm starting to like you after all."
That's when he really began to fight me. The fight went on for five minutes. Before I left my mother had said I wouldn't be good enough yet to beat Jack, she was right. My sword fell from my hand.
"Now if you'll excuse me, I must be going." He did a little bow then started shouting orders. The crew still mesmerized by the fight scrambled to do their tasks.
I wasn't about to give up that easily however. As Jack was about to step onto the ship I threw my sword hard into the wood scarcely half an inch from his head. The crew all stopped and looked at me astonished. Gibbs' mouth had even dropped open.
"I already beat you once." Jack growled as he closed the space between us. "That move reminds me of someone else. You wouldn't happen to know Will Turner would you?"
"Yes, he's my father." I blinked innocently up at Jack.
Not sure how to deal with that bit of news he leaned his head over the dock and dunked it into the ice cold water. He shook his head and water splashed onto me. "Okay. You wouldn't happen to know Will Turner would you now?"
I slowly said each word, "yes, he's my father."
"Then your mother is...?"
"Why Elizabeth of course. She sends her regards."
"So they-, you are-, when-, how-," Jack seemed speechless. Finally he settled on a question to ask. "What's your name?"
"Marie."
"Well then Marie you're part of the crew, get to work."
Hope you liked it! :D It's short cause I'm not sure where I'm going with it yet, I'll update when I get a chance. Please review!
