JINX'S P.O.V

I don't know how long I was asleep for but nowhere came to look for me so it couldn't have been long. I touch my cheeks and sighed when they were still wet. I groggily wake over to the basin and splash cold water on my face. "Now that's a wake-up call!" I exclaimed, grabbing a towel and drying my face.

I look into the mirror with a frown. "I'm running out of pills. I'll have to talk with dad and Amelia about that." I say to myself. Even though my headache had gone, my body was still a bit shaky and fatigued. I stumble my way out my room onto the deck.

I needed to get a grip. I didn't need people to become suspicious. I felt so light headed that I wasn't watching where I was going and bumped into someone. "Oh my goodness I'm so sorry." I say quickly with a small smile.

My smile vanishes when I realised who it was. "Wait, no I'm not." I snort. Jim shot me a death glare… It was pretty god. "I don't know what your problem is but I'm not necessarily fond of spoiled princess's." He said. My mouth falls open. He wants to be like that then he's gonna get burned.

"You're right, I'm sorry." I say in the nicest possible voice. Jim looks taken back. I use this moment of vulnerability to telekinetically move the spare mop and swiped at his legs making him fall to the ground with a thud.

I drop the mop and let out a loud bark of laughter. "Got ya!" Jim looked up at me angrily. "You're such a bitch." He glared. "Oooh Mr. rebellious bad boy swore! As if I haven't been called that before." Jim smirks as he stood up.

"Why am I not surprised?" He taunted, returning to mop the floor.

I pretended to wring his neck as he worked. Although that comment about me being a bitch did kinda sting. I was about to say more when a giant grey alien with red pants and four arms shoved me aside. Luckily, Jim caught me before I could fall

NORMAL P.O.V

Jinx glanced over at Jim to see him watching a group of the crew whisper about something. Jinx slowly walked over to stand by Jim's side as she watched the crew, looking all suspicious. What're they up to?

The three of them noticed us staring at them a stopped their discussion. "What are you lookin' at weirdos?" The one with dreadlocks snapped. What surprised and even disgusted the teens was the head moved to sit on the barrels and that the body moved its arms own to reveal a face. "Yeah, weirdos." He agreed in a high pitch voice.

Jinx blinked several times and glanced at Jim who had the same thought. Right, because we're the weirdos. There was a hissing noise and Jim and Jinx looked up to see Mr. Scroop climbing down from the shrouds. "Cabin boys and little girls should learn to mind their own business." He threatened.

Jinx gulped and clung gently to Jim's arm. Jim scoffed. "Why? You got something to hide, bright eyes?" he taunted. Jinx's eyes widened. You never EVER provoke a pirate Jim! NEVER! The spider alien hissed at him. Before any could even blink, Scroop grabbed Jim by his shirt and lifted him into the air. The mop dropped to the floor with a loud clink as he kicked his legs.

"Jim!" Jinx screamed. As she was about to help him, her arms were pinned to her back by the weird alien with the detachable head. "Not so fast sweet heart." He smirked. "Jinx! Let her go!"

"Maybe your ears don't work so well." Scroop hissed. Jim turned his head around and looked about ready to puke. "Uh yeah. Too bad my nose works just fine." He coughed. Scroop glared at him menacingly. "Why you impudent little-"he hissed and slammed Jim into the mast.

There was an eruption of screams and cheers. "Go ahead! Slice him! Dice him!" The tiny female alien screeched. "Jim!" I scream. "Silence you little wrench!" The alien said and threw her into the mast, effectively knocking her out. "Jinx!" Jim coughed.

"Any last words, cabin boy?" Scroop taunted as he raised his claw ready to finish him when a metal hand clamped over it. "Mr. Scroop." The voice said. Jim was surprised to see Silver standing there. "You ever see what happens to a fresh purp when you squeeze real hard?" He questioned, tightening his grip on Scroop's claw. He grunted in pain and released Jim from his grip.

Jim landed on the ground with a thud and immediately ran over to the unconscious girl. "Jinx? Jinx! Come on!" He said, removing strands of hair out of her face. He placed two fingers on the side of her neck and blew a sigh of relief when he felt her pulse.

Jim's eyes widened when he saw blood on the side of her head. All his hatred for her vanished as he checked the rest of her body for injuries. "What's all this then?" Mr. Arrow asked as he appeared on deck, walking with his hands behind his back. "You know the rules. There'll be no brawling on this ship. Any further offenders will be confined to the brig for the remainder of the voyage." He said, looking every crew member in the eye.

He stopped and turned to lean into Scroop's face. "Am I clear, Mr. Scroop?" Silver glares at him with his robotic eye as a warning. "Transssparently." He hissed in defeat. Mr. Arrow noticed Jinx unconscious and frowned. "What happened?"

"Why don't you ask them?" Jim muttered. Arrow nodded and looked a little crest fallen. "Mr. Hawkins. You are to take Ms. Jinx to the infirmary immediately and see to it that her injuries are taken care of." Jim nodded and picked the girl up bridal style.

JIM'S P.O.V

"Mr. Hawkins. You are to take Ms. Jinx to the infirmary immediately and see to it that her injures are taken care of." Mr. Arrow ordered before making his leave. I nod and carefully lift Jinx up bridal style.

Kicking the door open with my foot, I gently place her onto one of the cots. Going to the medicine cupboard I pull out some bandages and disinfectant. I sit on the bed next to her and begin to clean the wound and wrap it in the white gauze.

When I finished I just sat and stared at her. For someone so pretty, she can be a real bitch. I took the time to properly study her features. She looked around 15; two years younger than me. Her skin was pale and I noticed that she had a light dusting of freckles across her nose.

I gently remove loose strands of hair out of her face. "Jimbo!" I drop my head with sigh and drag my feet out the room. After closing the door gently, I make my way over to Mr. Angry cyborg. "Jimbo, I gave you a job." He yelled.

"Hey, I was doing it until that bug thing-" I started angrily but couldn't finish my sentence as Silver got up in my fac. "Belay that! Now, I want this deck swabbed spotless, and heaven help you if I come back and it's not done." He yelled. "Morph?" He called. "Keep an eye on this pup. And let me know if there be any more distractions." He said before walking off. Morph saluted and shape-shifted into a pair of giant eyes as he watched Jim like a hawk.

JINX's P.O.V

I awoke with a pounding in my head. Funny. I didn't remember having a memory lapse. I gasp as I remember what had happened. We got attacked by the so called crew. I bolt upright. "Jim? Where's Jim? Is he okay" I shout. "Jinx please. Lay back down. You hit your head pretty hard."

I look to my right and see Arrow fixing my bandages. How did I not notice that before? "Dad?" Arrow looked at me with a smile. "Jim's alright. He's the one who brought you here and wrapped up your head." He stated. "Do you like him now?" He smiled slyly.

My eyes widen and I cough. "No! I was just upset that I wouldn't have anyone to a bitch to." I laugh nervously. Arrow makes a humming noise and stands up. "You should probably say thank you." He called over his shoulder as he left.

I just stare at my hands dumbfounded. Why would he help me? I've never done anything for him… But saying thank you? I don't think so. I would've been just fine without his help!

I hop off the bed but stumble backwards. I gripped the dressing table for balance and cleared my head. Get a grip Jinx!

I walked out the infirmary and see Jim still mopping the deck. "Still on duty cabin boy?" I ask coming into view. Jim looks at me with a small smile. Even though it was small, it succeeded in increasing my heart beat. Oh god Jinx! Knock it off! I scold myself.

Awkward. It's everywhere. We both remained quiet as we stared at each other. I rub the back of my neck nervously. "Look, I-um…" Jim looks at me curiously as I stumble over my words. "Just because you helped me doesn't mean I'm going to be nicer to you." I blurt out before I could stop myself.

The smile of Jim's face disappears and is replaced with a scowl. "That's the thanks I get?! Wow, next time you're bleeding to death, help yourself!" He shouted and went back to mopping. "I will!" I shouted back.

I stormed off with a huff into Amelia's stateroom and slammed the door behind me.

JIM'S P.O.V

"That ungrateful stuck up bitch! Who does she think she is!? Just because she's royalty and all that crap! Garh!" I shout as I angrily swab the deck. Morph squeaks in reply and morphs into a miniature Jinx while repeating "spoiled princess". Jim laughs. "Yeah you got that right."

Jim sighs as he leans against his mop. "Well, this has been a fun day, huh? Making new friends like that spider psycho. Morphs transformed into a mini Scroop. "Spider psycho, spider psycho." Jim chuckled. "A little uglier." Morph laughed sinisterly while making his eyes looks crazy. "Pretty close."

"Well, thank heavens for little miracles." Silver said climbing up the stairs with a cooking pot in his hands. "Up here for an hour and the deck's still in one piece." He laughed, dumping the stuff in the pot over the edge of the ship.

I look down for a minute, trying to gather my thoughts. "Um, look, I, uh… What did you, uh… Thanks." I say finally. "Didn't your pap ever teach you to pick your fights a bit more carefully?" My scowl and mop the ground with my back turned to him.

"You father not the teachin' sort?" I scoff. "No. He was more the taking off and never coming back sort." I say emotionless. Silver was speechless as he made is way over to me. "Oh. Uh-huh. Sorry lad." He said quietly.

I shrugged his pity off. I didn't need it. "Hey, no big deal. I'm doin' just fine." I mumble. Silver rubs his chin. "Is that so?" I look at him curiously. "Well, since the Captain has put you in my charge, like it or not, I'll be poudin' a few skills into that thick head of yours to keep you out of trouble." He says, poking my forehead.

I swat his hand away and look at him annoyed.

"You can't do-"

"You won't so much as eat, sleep, or scratch your bum without my say-so."

"Don't do me any favours!" I shout.

"Oh, you can be sure of that, my lad. You can be sure of that." He laughs.

I run a hand through my hair. "Oh and I might invite little Ms Jinx along to." I glare at him. "If you do then I'm not coming." I spit. "You two are gonna spend a lot of time together like it or not. Cap'n thinks it be a lovely idea." My eyes widen.

"The captain suggested that!?" Was everyone on this ship out to get me!?

"Come on, Jimbo. Let's go pay Ms Jinx a visit." Silver said. I followed him while silently fuming.

JINX'S P.O.V

Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock!

I groan and get up from my bed. Who is it now!? I swing my door open only to be greeted by Silver and Jim. "Can I help you?" I ask rudely. "I'm going to teach Jimbo here a few skills and Captains orders where for you to come along." Silver stated politely.

I take one glance at Jim before giving them my answer. "No." I say and slam my door shut. "See? She's a spoiled bitch." I heard Jim say. Hearing Jim say that made me think of something. I smile evilly and rub my hands together. Jim hates me and I hate Jim. There's no better thing than to spend my time making his life a living hell. This is going to be fun!

I reopen the door and smile at Silver sweetly. "You know, I think that would be lovely." I say, sending Jim a quick smirk. He glares at me and walks off, muttering curses as he does. Silver tips his hat. "Sleep tight Princess. I'm gonna work the two of ye to the bone." He warned.

I roll my eyes and shut my door. I rub my temples. This is going to be fun…
