The gun was pointed to her head. It was expected of course. Something like this always happens in the fics that she read. She can work her way out. Hopefully.
"You really wouldn't want to do that."
"And why not young missy?"
"You see, I don't only teleport. There is more that I can do." That bought her some time. "Ever heard of Tia Dalma?" His expression told her to go on. "I am just different." She smirked.
It was more than enough for him to lower his gun. He only had a glimpse of what Tia could do. But witches were never to be messed with. Actually from experience (Tia had turned one of his childhood friends into a cat before), anyone who can do any sort of magic should not be messed around with. Besides, she could be of use during battles…if they were unlucky enough to not avoid them.
"So why my ship?"
"It was convenient."
"So you admit that you do have a purpose for being here."
"That purpose is my business. Captain, all I am asking of you is too let me stay on your ship and work here. I am willing to learn."
"Why? You plan on taking over the world with a ship? Or my ship, rather?"
"No" She looked at him as if he was mad or something. Why would he think of something like that. "Let's say I am doing something and need to learn some other things first." Yeah, she didn't really know what to say.
"If you really want to join this crew, there's one thing you must know. Everyone follows my order. And……."
"I am fine with that…now when do I start?"
"When we make the next port. We can't have my crew knowing the real you. They will not like it .And it would certainly be bad luck. According to Gibbs, that is. We could just say that I decided to let you join my crew, savvy?."
"Yeah…how long till that?" She sauntered towards his bed and sat down. He did not like that of course, he had to show her he was still in charge.
"You're the one with the magic. You tell me."
"Hey! I said I was different. I er….I can see the future and, er, I can do other stuff which you don't really need to know now." Now she had turn to your typical 'psychic' girls.
"So if ye know the future, you would know where we're currently heading to." He too headed towards his bed. However he chose to stand, forcing her to look up.
"Yeah, of course I do. That's one reason why I chose this ship. It is close to the Caribbean.
"Who said we were in the Caribbean, luv?" He was beginning to suspect something , she had to find a way. She stood up, facing him.
"You mostly sail in the Caribbean, when I have achieved what I come here for, I shall go to my next destination."
"Which is somewhere in the Caribbean I suppose. But the fact is we are not there and you did say you knew where we were heading to. Unless ye' hiding something, which in that case whatever was established earlier shall be void"
A lucky guess is all I've got. Where would he go? Asia? Singapore? India? The Middle-east? Maybe to Africa? Canada?
"India. You are headed there."
Jack looked at her strangely. The thing is, she read that his mother was an Indian maiden on Wiki. And he wears Kohl. And EIC. Don't they deal with East Indians?
She was lucky alright. She was right. But she didn't know what they were going to do there or why. And she certainly had never been there. She had only been to Asia once. That had been Bangkok, Thailand.
"It'd take three more days, if the weather's in our favour." Certainly she's one not to be messed with, he thought.
I wonder what will happen when he finds out who she really is.
And find out what will happen when she discovers the 18th century ways of doing things.
