Chapter 4 I'm a Pirate
I breathed as he gotten close to me seeing his light yellow eyes as he use his cutlass to tip my chin up a bit.
"So this is what the Professor is hiding from me. A furless girl fall from the sky, what are you lassie? A furless ape from distant relatives?" I rolled my eyes huffed in annoyed and used my finger to push his cutlass little away.
"No, I'm not an ape I'm a girl!" I snapped feeling bit more annoyed of everyone thinks of that. He chuckled a little.
"Specific lassie. I know you're a girl but what kind of girl are you?"
I sighed a little. 'I'm a human girl, a man cub or woman cub that I'm not any related to some apes." I tried to explained and he looks at me dumbly lowing his sword.
"A human girl? I see." I swallow a little as his cutlass went on my chin once more. "Tell me why I never see you around and how did you fall from the sky yes no?" He asked. I only glare at him didn't answer his question.
"Why should I tell you all this?" I question. "My parents have taught me never to talk to strangers." He smirked wolfish.
"I'm a little curious pirate and like to hear your answers." I huffed and pushed his cutlass away again.
"You don't scare me and I do have a name you know, its Ashley." I said. I watch Karnage low his cutlass and look at it bored.
"Ah yes you have high spirit I see, but not that highly enough compete the extraordinary plundering and amazingly talented pirate…"
"Ah quit your boasting!" I interrupted making Karnage eyes huge and some pirates swallowed a little as Louie have his mouth hang a little looking shocked. Karnage face was replaced to scowled look but I didn't show my fear.
"What...did..you say?" He asked softly but hint of growling. I crossed my arms.
"You heard me. You need to quit being self-centered of your dashing and thinking your all that boasting around of your looks and stunts you wanted to do but never achieve which makes you a freaking snob!" I snapped. Right after I I insulted him he growled and snatched my hair with his paw that made me yelped in pain.
"A snob? A SNOB!? You have no idea who you are dealing with lassie that strikes the heart of fear crossing Don Karnage!" He shouted. I struggled to get free and use my both hands to pull his paw off but he grip them tightly.
"Let me go!" I cried. "Is that any way to treat a lady?!"
"Karnage let her go!" We both turned and saw Bagheera have his hand hand gun out. Karnage huffed softly and then he grabs my arm and has his cutlass was on my neck acting threaten to him thinking he's going to kill me.
"I'll let her go if you let my men take all the money and jewel from these customers or anything that is valuable." He answered while Bagheera glare at him. "Or else this lovely girl and the rest will get it you know what I mean." He threatened more as we both climb out of the bar. Bagheera huffed didn't have much choice and told every customers to give their money and jewel they have to save themselves out of their purses and bags. Karnage still held on to me tightly watching his crew taking the money and jewels from the customers.
"Come come now chop chop. I hate to be waited any longer now my time is ticking," He laughed mocking a bit.
"You're despicable." I muttered angrily. He laughed i felt his furry lips on my ear.
"I'm a pirate darling. It's what I live for to get what I want." He forced me to turn to face him as he smirked. "And I want something from you before my crew take off something valuable you are carrying." I spit his face getting on his cheek and he growled a little not looking amused by a bit.
"That is something I have for you," I snapped seeing him getting angry but he sighed calming his anger and used his finger to wipe my spit off.
"You are very stubborn and difficult creature I've encounter but I give you credit for that,"
"We had given you everything we had now let her go." I heard Bagheera growled behind me. Karnage looked at him for a second and then look down at me forms a wolfish smirk.
"Your friend deeply cares for you I see, you must be something valuable to him yes no?" I looked down a little didnt answer him while chuckled a little. Then he spun me around and I gasp with his cutlass still on my throat. "I like to thank of your generously for giving us your money and jewels." He begins backing a little while holding me and ordered his men to leave for exist. "Now if all of you won't mind of we leaving so soon but remember one thing, beware, the great pirate that rules over the air and the sea DON KARNAGE!" He pushed me hard towards them after he finished his sentence and Bagheera catches me stopping me from falling. I turned and saw him disappeared hearing the planes taking off. I sighed softly feeling my heart pounding hard from almost have my head chopped off.
"Are you alright?" Bagheera asked. I nodded but swallowed.
"I think so." I replied softly and Louie came over by us and looked at everyone.
"Drinks and food on me if everyone is still hungry." He announced trying to get everyone feel better as the customers begin taking orders from the monkeys and then Bagheera glance at me.
"Want something to eat?" He asked but I shook my head.
"No, I'm just tired." I said felt with bit truth feeling tired after long day. Then Bagheera looked at me strictly.
"What were you doing like that? He could've killed you,"
"But Baggy, someone needs to tell him to stop being boasting around himself making himself a snob..."
"Now that's enough!" Bagheera silenced me. "Just don't do that again if I'm not here alright?" He spoke sighed heavily and changed the subject. "You should get some sleep it's been a long night." I sighed a little knowing he's still the same from the movie always strict about safety and caring deeply which that one thing I like about him. Louie came over to us and Bagheera glance at him.
"Louie if you could please..
"No sweat Baggy she can stay until she finds a apartment their's plenty a room for her." He winked before hold his hand out. "I'll show you to your inn where you will be sleeping at." I took his hands but look at Bagheera.
"What about you?" I asked. He shook his head.
"I have a taxi coming as I need to get back to the Khan Industries to give another excuse to my boss." He replied while I glance at him feeling sorry for him. I went over and hug him feeling him flinched a little but he embraced me.
"Thank you for everything and hope to see you soon." I said. He smiled a little.
"No problem and I'll be here tomorrow morning to make sure Baloo is here to get you." He answered as we let go of our hug. He walked out of the building while we waved him goodbye and then Louie took my hand and escort me to my inn room where I can sleep at. As we went into the inn he opens the door for me as I step in seeing everything made out of bamboo except the table, wall and a purple rug lying in the middle.
"If you want anything else just come down and help yourself with anything." Louie spoke and I smiled at him.
"Okay thanks and good night." I replied watching him smile and closed my door. I went over to the wooden wardrobe and opened both doors and saw a yellow nightgown hanging for me to wear for the night. I stripped my purple shirt and jeans off and put my night gown before going over to my bed and sat down. I silently pray to God thanking him for helping me get here safety and have Shere Khan not be too hard on Bagheera and also have my family not to worried about me. I lie down on the bed covering myself with sheets as I blow the candle out on my nightstand and snuggle up comfortably. I looked at the starry sky through my window having thoughts about home and my family.
"How will ever I get back home?" I spoke softly to myself felt my heart heavy watching the stars twinkle in the sky. I went to my side and slowly fell asleep.
Author's Note: How was that one so far? I hope you like where this is going. Bagheera in story cares deeply for her as he was with Mowgli in the jungle book as I want to have his same personality as he was in the jungle book and Sebastian Cablot would be so perfect for his voice sounding so caring. Stay tuned for the next chapter coming to your way where this episode is going to be from here to Machinery! I don't own any Talespin/jungle book characters except OC. Enjoy and please review but no flames please!
