Heart of Glass

A Pirate's Daughter's Adventure

Chapter 10

"Go on, Poppet, go! Walk the plank!" Pintel pushed Elizabeth towards the plank, while I stood there in shock, and held firmly in another pirate's arms.

"Barbossa, you lying bastard!" Will cursed, as he fought to get closer to Elizabeth. "You swore she'd go free!"

Sirius did nothing put stand next to me silently, looking down at his feet, while Bo'sun held him.

I knew Sirius thought that this was his fault that we were now being left at a deserted island. But I still couldn't believe that my own father was doing this to me.

"Don't dare impugn me honor, boy," My father hissed back," I agreed she'd go free, but it was Sirius and you, who failed to specify when or where."

Will then was gagged, while my father looked up at Sirius and I, who stood there quietly, not fighting back. Already accepting our fate.

"Though it does seem a shame to lose something so fine, don't it lads?" My father teased his crew, while he motioned to Elizabeth, making my heart ache.

His crew cheered, while Elizabeth stepped onto the plank. I looked at her, hating her, yet feeling sorry for her.

"So I'll be having that dress back, before you go." My father held out his hand towards Elizabeth.

Jack was pushed up next to Sirius and I, while Elizabeth pulled off her dress, before throwing at my father, and snapping," It goes with your black heart."

I lowered to my eyes to the floor, while I began hoping my father wouldn't forced me to take off the dress I wore.

"Oh, it's still warm!" My father chuckled, before I heard Pintel shout," Off you go! Come on!"

Several seconds later, Bo'Sun shouted," Too long!"

With that I heard a giant splash, signaling Elizabeth had fallen off the plank.

"Ladies first," My father announced, while Bo'Sun pushed me forward towards the plank.

I quietly stepped onto the plank, silently praying thanks to god that Sirius had taught me how to swim.

"Dress, Beaux," my father reminded, making my stomach flip several times. But I obediently, began pulling off my dress, leaving me in my shift I had arrived to my father, in.

But unlike what happened to Elizabeth, no one spoke or made any noise. For those of them that knew me, wouldn't dare make a noise, for they knew my father was basically saying goodbye to me, once again. But this time in a much more crude and heartless manor.

I passed the dress off to my father, before turning around to walk the plank.

I took a deep breath, as I glanced down into the water, where I spotted Elizabeth treading water, trying to catch her breath.

I sighed and looked over my shoulder, while my father announced to his men and hostage crew," That, men, is an honorable dispatcher."

I then turned back, afraid to hear or see anymore, and dove into the water, and floated back to the top.

I quickly began swimming to the small island, forcing Elizabeth to follow me, for she was utterly clueless about what to do or where to go.

Soon after mine, I heard another splash, but I kept swimming, even after a second splash echoed.

But as I swam, I cried, quietly, letting my fresh tears mix with the salt water. I couldn't believe my father would do this to me, his only daughter, who was probably the only person who loved him. I guess all of that love was in vain.
