Nasty Girl
Carly, Sam, and David walked into the dimly lit bar. Carly took in the place it looked like stereotypical biker bar save for the multiple flat screen TV's. Taking in the fascade Carly understood why Sam liked the place. She had spent many a night on the back of her vintage Triumph motorcycle holding on to Sam for dear life. What she could not figure out is why it took David coming into town for Sam to bring her here. Then she saw it a coming from the restroom. A creature dressed in jeans and a t-shirt with teal colored jeans and webbed fins on each forearms as well webbing on his hands and ears. His mustache area had and catfish like barbs on each side. Juxtaposed to his more human facial features. Along with long blonde dreadlocks.
"Umm is that a fishman?," Carly asked shocked and surprised to see such a creature.
"They prefer the term amphibious American cupcake," Sam said with a smirk.
"Yeah and you've most likely seen him and many like him for years but you'd never know they those talismans on there necks that camo them to the public. Except here magic don't work here," David explained.
"So this bar is a hangout for firsh people and immortals," Carly said realizing where she was.
"Immortals fish people werewolves vampires what have you," David said, "You know a place to unwind and be ourselves,"
"That's cool... wait vampires," Carly said becoming a bit tense at the mention of vampires.
"Relax only the good ones are here baby ," Sam said placing comforting hand on her girlfriend's shoulder.
"Yeah speaking of which. Annabelle!" David called to the redheaded waitress wearing a Harley Davidson shirt that was cut into a bando top,and cut off shorts and cowgirl boots.
"DAVID!," the waitress said running up to him and hopping into his arms and kissing. "Look at you. You don't look a day over a hundred and twenty five," she said her deep southern accent shinning through.
"Neither do you," David said putting the waitress down.
"And Sammi you look good girl," Annabelle said hugging Sam.
"So do you. You still in that family that used to nest over by the docks?," Sam asked.
"Nahh left them a year ago. But enough about me when did tall dark and handsome get back in town and whose this little lady?" Annabelle said looking at Carly.
"Oh sorry. Annabelle LeBeaux, Carly Shay Annabelle LeBeaux," Sam said introducing them.
"So you're a vampire ," Carly said shaking her hand.
"Yes but that's not how you say hi sugar how'd you like it if I said hey you're a mortal and don't worry I don't bite and don't feed on blood or on people who don't give me permission," Annabelle said making Carly blush.
"Sorry its just I had a bad experience with vampires," Carly said unconsciously rubbing the side of her neck.
"I can tell," Annabelle said sympathizing with Carly. "But enough of that lets get you a table and I'll tell you all about how I met these two and how big fella and I used to date. You two still like whiskey and steaks?"
"Yes and I still like my cigars," David said with a smile as Annabelle lead them to a table.
Drewceila wiped the blood from her knife and her hands. "You're really tough for a mortal Nora," she said. "But then again you were trained by Sammie and she's a tough old bitch. Too bad she can't be here to help you. That's the problem with you mortals you bleed out so easy. Such a shame Sammie's little girlfriend will have to find out the same thing and when she does poor little Sam will be all alone" she said leaving her to die on the floor.
Once she was sure Drewceila was gone Nora opened her eyes and crawled along the floor to her cellphone. She then used her strength to call a paramedic and prayed they'd get their in time so she could warn her friends.
"So wait you were raised by Indians," Carly said as she ate her fries.
"Yeah my birth parents were runaway slaves...they hid me with the Cherokee before they were killed and I was raised by the chief and his wife," David explained taking another drink.
"Yeah and some time in the 1800's that's where I met him," Sam said
Flashback The Carolinas the 1800s:
Sam brought her horse to a stop when she saw him digging a grave wearing only buckskin pants like all the indians wore that were covered in blood. "Who are you burying?," she asked.
"My ma, my niece, and my pa," he said as he continued dig.
"Pardon me but you're bit dark for an Indian," Sam said hopping off her horse dressed in what appeared to be a men's double breasted shirt that was white in color and a pair of black pants that had been tailored to fit her form. With a pair of silver colt revolver s on each hip and black boots with silver spurrs and a black stetson hat.
"Yeah well you're bit too white to care," he said.
"I deserve that. Name's Sam," she said.
"You don't look like a Sam to me ," he said.
"Its short for Samantha and I've been where you been," Sam said squatting down by the grave.
"Really did rebs kill your family,"
"No English," Sam said "What's your name any way,"
"David Ironbear," he said. "Now you said English killed your people you don't look old enough to have been in the revolution."
"You don't look like you could have survived being stabbed and shot through the heart but you did or you died and came back," Sam said.
"How'd you know that?," David asked stopping his digging
"Those slow healing scares help," Sam said "Besides you and me are a lot more alike than you'd think but right now I'll help you bury your dead then we'll eat."
"So I'm immortal I get that my ma she was a medicine woman she had powerful magic. Taught me how to hunt the bad ones the demons and that I was one of the endless ones an immortal," David said as he and Sam set by the fire under the night sky. "But... but," he said becoming choked up.
"But didn't teach you it would hurt when they all died," Sam said. "Yeah I've been there the question is what are you going to do now?"
"Find them Rebs who killed my family do a little killing on my own," David said wiping away a tear.
"With what a tomahawk a knife and one rifle," Sam said.
"And a bow besides I can't die remember," David said.
"Ok lets say you do kill 'em what then," Sam said, "Go around killing Rebs till there ain't none of em left or you get tired? Then what find someone else to hate?" she said.
"Well what do think I should do since I can live forever and I have no family or friends," David said.
"Well for starters you partner up with me and we get them rebs then we'll see what comes next," Sam said.
"Partners? You know they'll label us outlaws and its not like a white woman and a negro Indian make good targets," David said
"Well then its good you and I can't die cause we'll draw a lot of bullets," Sam said with a smile. "But we need to get you some clothes if you want to blend in and a new last name so they have a hard time finding you."
"What about Hodges it was the name of the man that owned me, Guess I can make it count for something," David said.
"David Ironbear Hodges I like it," Sam said.
End Of Flashback:
"So that's how you two met," Carly said taking bite of her burger
"Yeah and we've been best friends ever since even though he tends to disappear sometimes," Sam said taking another drink.
"Ohh really where does you go," Carly asked
"I like to have my freedom and I like to travel," David said taking another drink.
"Yeah that's the...," Sam started getting interrupted by a call on her phone. "Hello...yes yes we'll be there soon!," she said bolting up from her chair. "Nora's in the hospital!"
"What!," Carly said following her along with David.
"I'm Sam Puckett I'm here for Nora Moss," Sam said rushing to the nurses station.
"Ms Puckett," a man in scrubs said approaching them. "I'm doctor Rajish"
"Yes doctor what happened," Sam asked.
"She's was attacked and I'm going to be honest with you she doesn't have very much time," the Doctor said.
Sam choked back her tears and had the doctor escort her to Nora's room. "Sammie, Sammie ," Nora groaned.
"I'm right here," Sam said rushing to Nora's side and grabbing her bandaged hand.
"Sammie it was her it was her," Nora croaked as she struggled to draw breath.
"Doc could you excuse us for a moment," Sam said her tears starting to run down her face.
"Of course," the doctor said excusing him self.
"Nora tell me who did this?," Sam said her eyes read with tears and anger.
"Drew, Drew, Drewcila," she croaked out making Sam freeze. "You, you, you've got to protect her Sammie you have to protect her from," she said as she drew her last breath
Just like that the world went silent for Sam. She could hear the sound of the heart monitor flat lining. Feel the doctors move her aside. But from now on there would be a silence. She'd never hear Nora's laugh or see her smile again. Her last memory's of her would always be her being in perfect health one minute. Then dying in pain the next. She knew the pain all to well she'd lived hundreds of years and had felt it many times, but none would hurt like this. Nora was more than just a friend she was her best friend and more over Nora was family. Family could never be replaced family would haunt but not be replaced. And there would now and forever more be a silence that would fuel her lust for vengeance. A vengeance that would see her correct a great error she'd had the chance to correct a long time ago.
Flash Back: Somewhere near the Bahamas 1765:
Sam stood at the front of the ship her burgundy captain's jacket blowing in the wind as she peered through the her spy glass at the ship across the water. "Mr. Smith raise the black! Full speed on the approach," she commanded.
"Aye M'am," the scruffy man said before relaying the orders the men.
"Ready the cannons," she ordered her men following orders with a snap.
"She's a fine ship Sam said," Drewcila said readying her boarding axe and flint lock. Like Sam she was dressed in the clothes of a high ranking male pirate. An outfit consisting of brown trousers black boots a white shirt and red sash and a red officer's jacket she had stolen from a Spanish navel officer in a raid. with a scarf tied on her head. "Lets hope the spoils are just as good," she said.
"So you doubt my cousin now do you," Charlie said putting on her black leather hat that had one side turned up with a large red plume sticking out. She was also wearing only a black leather bodice with red stitching. A pair of tight red trousers black leather boots and like Sam and Drewcila she wore a belt holding sword and a flint lock pistol. Another strapped to her thigh.
"You two may argue later ," Sam said donning her own cap that was much like Charlie's except burgundy in color with white plume. She then raised her sword and gave the order to fire at will which her crew happily did. The cannons only fired a few shots before the other ship raised the banner of surrender. "Ready the boarding party girls lets go claim our prizes.
Sam's crew had boarded the ship and had lined the other ship's captain crew up before raiding its stores of everything on the manifest. "Captain Fisher allow me to introduce myself I am Captain Sam Puckett but you may know as Sam "The Phoenix"," she said introducing her self to the captain. "This is my first mate Charlotte " Charlie Bones" Connolly and my other officer, Drewcila Standish also known as "Mad Drew The Red"," she said introducing Charlie and Drewcila.
"Sam " The Phoenix"? Forgive me but given your reputation I assumed you'd be a man," Captain Fisher said.
"Its a common misconception," Sam said, "Now you know I'll be raiding and taking your ship for my own taking all maps and its stores. As I'm not as cruel as my reputation proceeds your men will be given option to join my crew or they'll be set a drift with two weeks ration and water along with you."
"Fair term m'lady," Fisher said.
"Glad you think so. Charlie raid his quarters search everything," Sam said.
"Aye captain," Charlie said going to the man's quarters.
"Captain look what we found," said one of Sam's crew as he brought up a group of male and female slaves. That obviously had been fed next to nothing and beaten.
"Now, now Captain this wasn't on the manifest," Sam said drawing her flint lock.
"Neither were these captain," Charlie said leading three girls out of the cabin. Two white one a sandy blonde almost brown haired girl in a fine pink dress. The other raven haired and buxom, dressed in a pale blue dress. Both of which looked to be in Sam and the girl's apparent age range. The third a mixed race girl no older than twelve wearing only chains her body covered whip marks. "Well captain it would appear you've been using this young girl for your own perversions," she said pressing her pistol to the captain's head. "What say you to the charge,"she said cocking her pistol
"She's just a dirty little mulatto bitch she'd mostly be a whore anyway," the captain said just before Sam shot him ending his life.
"FATHER!," the sandy blonde yelled as her father fell dead.
Sam ignored the girl's cries and turned her attention to the young naked slave. "Do you speak English," she asked getting a nod from the girl. "Do you have a name?,"
"Alice," the girl said.
Sam took her sword and cut Alice's chains and said, "Charlie take the captain's daughter's aboard see them put to work as swabs and galley maids. Also see to it that young Alice here is given propper food dress and is treated by the doctor as she will be overseer of these two. She is to made a full member of the crew once I teach her reading writing and arithmetic she will be made captain's assistant."
"Aye captain," Charlie said as she began to walk to the ship.
"Oh and Charlie have the raven haired one put in my quarters," Sam said winking at the girl.
"Aye captain," Charlie said.
"Drewcilla see the stores and supplies loaded aboard and inventoried. Also see these men and women un-shackled, fed and let them know that form now on they are free," Sam said.
"Aye captain," Drewcilla said "But what about the crew?"
"Load them into the long boats and set them a drift with four days ration," she said.
"Aye captain," Drewcilla said.
Sam walked into quarters and took of her hat and jacket seemingly ignoring the girl sitting on her bed. "What's your name girl?"she asked undoing the cuffs on her shirt.
"Anne," the blackhaired girl said.
"I'm sorry for what I did to your father but anyone that would force himself upon a woman let alone a child is no better than a rabid dog and needs to be put down," she said taking off her shirt revealing her bare torso underneath.
"Is that not what you intend to do to me force yourself upon me,then put me to work your ship as your swab and maid then sell me to brothel as whore to used by men and women for your own profit and amusement" Anne said.
Sam laughed as opened a bottle of what appeared to be brandy "My my you do have a wild imagination," she said pouring a glass for herself. "You're right I intend to put you to work as a maid and swab. As I do for your sister in order to pay debt of torture your father put on young Alice and who knows how many other young girls. I also intend to let you live in a whore house but I will not have you lay with anyone but male or female less my passions need amusing," she said pouring another glass for Anne and walked towards the bed
"What makes you think I'd lay with you," Anne said taking the glass as Sam offered it.
"The way you look at me I can tell," she said leaning in only inches from Anne's lips, "you and I share the same passions my dear," she continued before giving the brunette a deep kiss having Anne eagerly return it.
"Indeed we do," Anne said before taking a drink from the glass. "But what of my sister?"
"Well I doubt that she share's the same passions we do. Pity really as it seems that she may have to find someway to entertain my crew as they do get restless," Sam said sitting on the bed next to Anne.
"No pity my sister was almost as wicked of an animal to Alice as our father. I hated my father and do not care for my sister much more," she said.
"My you may have a bit of pirate in you yet," Sam said before leaning in to kiss Anne only to be stopped by the sound of cannon fire. " Stay here and get ready for bed," she said before storming out of her cabin.
"Fire!," Drewcilla said giving the order to fire on the second long boat the first already being blown to bits as the second would soon be.
"What the hell do you are doing Drew!," Sam yelled getting in Drewcilla's face.
"Killing what remains of the other crew captain," Drewcilla said.
"I gave no such order too!," Sam said "they were to be set a drift,"
"With only a few days ration they'd of died anyway of thirst. At least this way they'll make decent bait for sharks," Drewcilla said before getting a smack from Sam knocking her onto the deck. She reached for her flintlock only to get a knife through the hand from Sam.
"Samntha," Anne called as she stood in the door way of Sam's Cabin naked holding the bottle of brandy "Quit your bickering and come to bed I'm lonely," she said taking a swig from the bottle
Sam smiled as the crew hooted and hollered then turned her attention to Drewcilla "To your hand and next time you do anything like that I'll consider it mutiny."
"Aye captain," Drewcilla said.
End Of Flashback:
"What the hell are you doing here," Sam said wiping her tears as she walked back into the waiting area.
"I called her," David said.
"Yeah and I've been driving nonstop cousin," Charlie said
"Sam Nora is she?," Carly asked interrupting the conversation.
"She's gone and Drewcilla did it," Sam said wiping more tears away.
"Well what are we waiting for lets go find that danish bitch," Charlie said, "Nora was my friend to Sammie."
"Lets go but first lets get Carly back to my place get her safe," Sam said her voice icey.
When the trio arrived at Sam's place they found it ransacked. "What the hell happened," Carly asked.
"She's been here," Sam said picking up a crossbow bolt from the floor. "Typical Drewcilla Standish."
"Drewcilla Standish?," Carly said with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah thats her full name," David said.
"Its just that earlier today I saw a girl named Drew...UGH," Carly said just as a cross bow bolt came through the window through her back through her chest.
"Carly!," Sam said quickly catching her girlfriend's body before she fell to the floor. "No no no no! Carly baby look at me look at me stay with me!"
"Sam baby... it hurts...it hurts to breath," Carly said blood spouting from her mouth and her eyes glazing over.
"Its gonna be ok baby just hold on just hold on!," Sam said as she cradled Carly in her arms.
"Think I'll... just...just rest," Carly said closing her eyes as all the life left her body.
"Carly! Carly answer me. CARLY!," Sam screamed as she held a now dead Carly.
A/N: Well folks that's chapter three what did you think. Be harsh as you want I deserve it. But you may want to see what happens next before you pass judgment. As for Nora's death well as some of you know I lost my mother back in January. I actually watched her die and the morning she died I herd her call for me around four in the morning and was helping her get ready for the EMT's when her heart stopped . They showed up just after that but couldn't get her heart started back. When she died there was a silence. I knew the doctors were talking but there was just silence. In the passed three years with losing my sister. My last surviving aunt and mother. That silence is something that has followed me. And that's what I tried to get across. Life does go on and memories of good times will comfort but there will always be a silence. Well peace love SDR OUT!
