DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything, I simply make them into Pirates. :D
Meeting of the Captains
Bella's Point of View:
Oh my Lord. He was Gorgeous. Strong looking arms, unruly bronze colored hair that was flung into his dazzling emerald eyes. His strong jaw very pronounced on his face and his lips, soft looking but hard at the same time. He dazzled me, when he surprised me on the docks I thought it was some drunk coming to steal my innocence. Ha! Like I could be called innocent, I am still, in that way, but my mind isn't. Living on a ship full of men made me wish sometimes for a lady to talk to.
"Where is your house?"he asked me with a questioning look on his face.
"I am staying at the Redwood Tavern, with my father." I replied without meaning to. I quickly turned my face into an believable facade. I think he fell for it, for we did not speak until we had reached the tavern. The tavern its self was beautiful, a tall two story building with brick walls, glass windows and rooms on the top floor, there was also a swinging board of wood that had "Redwood Tavern" printed in elegant script. (A/N:Sorry no picture) I looked over at Edward Cullen and smiled secretively to myself.
'If only he knew where I had been for the past two years of my life he wouldn't be hanging around with me. A female pirate, imagine?' He turned quickly towards me.
"Is this it?" He asked sweetly.
"Yes it is, goodnight Mr. Cullen" I replied
"Sleep well Isabella." he stated with a smile. I returned it shyly. Could he really not see the scar on my neck where I was grazed by a knife on my first 'pirating account'? What about the gun powder that fell in my eye during a raid and where it sparkled in the sunlight? Was he blind? No he couldn't be. Maybe he was just being nice? That might be it. What does it matter anyway, its done, and he didn't seem to catch my attention as someone who would turn me in. Before I even realized it, I was upstairs in my room that my father had told me about; the meeting was going on in a private dining room the tavern used for special circumstances or really rich people. Luckily for my family, we were both. I hadn't realized until then how tired I was from my night excursions. So slipped off my blue dress, bolted and locked the door adding a chair in front, for my comfort. The room was dark I had noticed earlier, but thought nothing of it, well there was no real reason to waste the oil in the lamp tonight so I slipped my shiv out of my petticoat and slipped it under my pillow. Soon after, I throw back the blanket and climb into the soft hay that was my bed and slipped into the black oblivion.
I didn't realize that it was morning until an incredibly loud voice pounded on the door yelling.
"Isabella! Get up! We've got a lot to do today and I wont have you waste it. Let's go!" My father yelled.
"Yes sir, I am up. I will be down in a minute."
Wouldn't I have all the luck, I forgot a fresh dress to wear today, I thought before I opened my eyes. When I did, the incredibly bright light blinded me. Did I leave a window open? Was there a window? I sat up stiffly in my bed groaning slightly in pleasure as my back popped multiple times. I smiled then looked around the room my bed was the biggest piece of furniture in the room next to the bed there was a dresser and also a tub that I now noticed was empty, no time for a bath anyway. I would have one tonight though, I swear. My bed was located directly across from the door, which I am pleased to say still had the chair in front of it. It was a little trick I learned on the ship when one of the men would get drunk and me being the only girl on board, I would shove my chair under the door knob and hope they didn't break it down.
I stood up from my bed and pulled on my dress from yesterday, corset and all. I examined myself, for there was no mirror, and when I was satisfied I unstuck the chair, unlocked and unbolted the door. I turned and walked down the stairs to the bar and ordered some toast and cheese for breakfast. I eat my food in silence and I couldn't help but notice an extraordinarily handsome man sitting in the corner, he has blond hair and... I can't really make out his eye color, but he was incredibly handsome. Oh well, there was only one man that would ever really catch my attention.
I decided I had tried my father's patience long enough and it was time to leave. I walked out the door to the tavern and my father was standing there waiting impatiently for me.
"Finally. Let's go before you waste more time." He said gruffly.
"Yes sir." I replied dutifully.
We walked towards the center of town where the market was, I couldn't help but look for a head of bronze hair in the crowd, to my disappointment, I saw none. My father looked over at me then said.
"Your clothes are looking a little raggedy, here's some coin, go and buy some cloth. Then load it onto the ship and meet me at the docks in proper clothing." By proper clothing I knew he meant 'men's clothing'. He handed me a purse full of coins, more than enough for cloth, and I knew that this was my pay for the voyage. I smiled at him and replied.
"Thank you father, I will see you later." He nodded in response and walked toward the tavern closest to us, as I knew to spread the word that we would be needing some new replacements for the fallen. It was a sad process, but a necessary one.
I turned on my heel and strode into the section of the market where the cloth could be found. I started browsing through the colors when I saw a incredibly beautiful bolt of blue cloth, I picked it up and kept searching. I found three blots of black and four of gray. I then decided that would be enough for now, I paid for the cloth and then almost flew out of my skin when a hand touched me on the shoulder. I turned with a start.
"Emmett! Don't do that to me!" I scolded him.
"Sorry Ca-Bella. It was just too good of an opportunity to miss out on." He said trying to defend himself. His brown locks falling into his face.
"What if it hadn't of been me? What if it was some young lass, and you gave her quite a fright?" I said.
"A young lass you say? Well, I would use my dashing good looks to distract her then, run like hell." He replied simply. I couldn't help it I laughed.
"Dashing good looks eh?" A voice behind me said.
"And here I was thinking I was the more handsome one." Jasper said smirking slightly. I started laughing again.
"Well, are you two going to just stand there or are you going to help me with these?" I said gesturing to the bolts of cloth. They sighed and picked them up. I smiled at them and said.
"Thanks boys can you take them back?" They knew exactly where I was saying. They nodded and headed for the ship.
"I will see you later then." I said. I felt sort of bad that I had asked, I knew that Jasper had better things to do than take cloth back onto the ship, like restock on food? Emmett on the other hand would be helping repair the ship and flirting with girls in his spare time.
I walked over to the next booth, which held thread on it, in every color imaginable. I picked up three spools of black, three of gray and two of blue. I also bought some more needles knowing we would be needing more soon, for sewing and stitching. I paid for my purchases and then I also found a small shoulder bad and bought it as well, putting my thread and package of needles in the bag, my money tucked safely between my breasts.
It was then I felt it someone was watching me, and perhaps had been watching me. I moved through the crowd towards the ship and boarded. I chill crept up my spine as the feeling stopped. Who would want to be watching me anyway? I am a bore.
I couldn't seem to keep my mind off of the feeling as I went to my cabin and set my things down and then precede to change into more suitable clothing such as pants and a shirt, I tuck my hair, which was growing too long again into a cap and walk out on deck. I walk downwards toward the docks and wait for my father. At first he doesn't see me until I yell
"Captain!" He turned and looked at me then nodded.
"Yes Cayde?" He asked.
"Sir, when do we weigh anchor?" I asked.
"Tomorrow morning at the earliest." I nodded, he continued on to the ship, only to bring out a table and two chairs, some parchment, a quill and and ink pot. I waited for the Captain to sit down then I sat down as well. We only needed eight seasoned sailors, to replace the ones lost but it would take a while. This would be a long day.
We were finished. We had new replacements and restocked food as well as drink. Plenty of fishing wire to fix the sail should it break, and the men were on order not to drink tonight, unless they wanted 20 lashings. I was excited we were to have another woman on board here name was Rosalie, but Captain says to call her Ross. She had apparently already served with Captain Black, a Spanish pirate. I had already talked to her, she was a stunning woman a little older than me and much more curvaceous. She would be working as cook's helper, even though she would much rather prefer Weapon's master, but seeing as how that is filled by Emmett, she was stuck in the kitchen. I was then reminded how tired I was by the clock tower in the church striking 10, tomorrow would be another day, as my father says, and I would be ready, when the day breaks and we set sail for the Caribbean. I walked into my cabin, shut the door, pushing the chair in front of it, undressing and blowing out the lantern. As I closed my eyes, I couldn't help but think about the beautiful boy with the bronze hair as I sank deeply into the night's warm embrace.
A/N: What did you think? I decided to bring Rose in because I thought she needed to be there. At first I thought of putting her in as the pastor's daughter, but then I was like...NAH! So there you are close to 2,000 words, so far the longest chapter yet. Sorry it took so long as well. I have been sick lately and I had A LOT of homework. Well next chapter will be out hopefully by Sunday but no promises yet. I already know how the next chapter is going to go so bear with me.
