Into the Fire

Annette Berry x Jack Sparrow

Chapter Three


"If my captain doesn't want you, I'll take great care of you," The one with the two different eyes, or later as I found out is named Pintel, says smirking.

With my elbow, I push it against his chest. He flinches a bit, but then his grip on me tightens. The ship is so filthy, I've never in my wildest dreams have I ever seen or thought of something getting so dirty. "Just because you're a pirate doesn't mean things have to be so dirty," I tell Pintel.

"We do clean around here," Pintel says.

"Really? Well you're surely surprising me," I say, rolling my eyes.

"Pintel, bring her to Captain Sparrow," says, the balding man, who's name I also found out is Ragetti, and he is Pintel's uncle. Like uncle, like nephew.

Pintel takes me toward, what I'm guessing is the Captain's cabin. I've never been on a ship, so I don't know anything or any parts of it. I once read a book about ships, but my tutor told me the best way to learn is to see and experience, and that he will one day take me on a ship. I never touched a book about ships ever again.

I should have though, so it would have prepared me for all of this filth.

Pintel and I enter the Captain's cabin, and I see a man. He's staring out the window, giving off a feeling of power, and also instability. Strange combinations.

"Captain, we brought you a girl!" Pintel says, excitedly. "It's been a while since I've smelled and touched a girl," he starts to smell me. "You smell lovely,"

My eyes widen. "Let me go!" I scream.

The Captain turns around to look at me. He has brown eyes, with black and brown braided hair. He's got a mustache and two-pieces of long braided hair at his chin. He has a piece of cloth tied around his head, and very dirty clothes. He grins at me, showing off his teeth, with a few golden teeth here and there.

"I'm going to assume, pirates never heard of the hygiene rhyme," I say.

"Hygiene rhyme?" the captain asks, in confusion.

I nod my head; "The best way to keep your hygiene is to wash your hands until they're dry clean. To save yourself from ferocious diseases, is to keep clean until the germs decreases." I say proudly.

The pirates look at me, completely in baffle. Then, they start to laugh, insanely.

"You men, are very rude," I say, offended.

"We're pirates love, don't expect so much from us!" the captain says, still laughing. I turn around, tightly closing my mouth. I am not going to waste my breath talking to these fools!

"Well, Pintel and Ragetti, I tell you to bring me back some rum, instead you brought me a bride? I told you, I plan on never getting married," the Captain says, circling around me.

"Marriage is a wonderful thing! Maybe if you got married, you'd be smart," I tell him.

"Oh really? And you've been married for how long?"

"For a few hours, because your stupid men attacked my wedding reception!"

The captain made a sad face, and in a squeaky voice says, "Aw, little wife is upset we ruined her wedding. Pintel! Ragetti, return her to her husband!"

"Yes! I would love it very much if you did so!" I say, angrily. "And when I get back, I'm going to make sure the Royal Navy punishes you for your actions!"

The Captain stops pacing, and he looks me straight into my eyes. "Well, we wouldn't want that now would we. You're just going to have to stay with us then. You make yourself useful, and save us all 'from ferocious diseases'," and he starts to chuckle.

I should really keep my mouth shut.

"Captain Sparrow, can we have fun with her?" Pintel asks.

"Of course-"

"Of course not!" I scream.

"Fine, no one can touch you, except for me," he says, taking a seat, by his desk.

"Excuse me?"

"Would you rather let the crew men touch you instead?" Captain Sparrow asks.

"Nobody is going to touch me! I'm a married woman Sparrow!" I scream.

"Sorry, I'm not too familiar with that word."

"It means I'm off limits to you!"

"Off limits? Nothing is off limits to Jack Sparrow." He says, grinning. "Pintel, get me some rum?"

Pintel nods his head and lets go of me. I stand there, staring at Captain Sparrow. He thinks he's great, doesn't he? I run toward his desk, and pound my fist against it. "I demand you take me home," I say.

"Love, we're far away from your home. This is your new home,"

"No! I can't live here! I have a whole life ahead of me! You can't just do this to me!"

"If you haven't noticed darling, I already have."
