Noa opened her eyes to a very bright morning. She couldn't believe this.
Hangover from hell aand it had to be the brightest day in weeks. Groaning
she sat up. Looking around she realized she was still up in the crows nest.
They were out to sea already she could see. Tortuga lay miles behin thhem.
Snorting, which gave her head quite a fiery jolting pain, she reached into
her jacket and pulled out a different flask from the one last night. This
one had silver patterns on it in the shape of fire. It also looked to be
made of gold. Quite interesting and classy for a pirate. Also a huge
contrast frrom the leather one she kept her port in. Gulping down some of
it, she tucked it back into her coat pocket. Turniing to the ladder she saw
a head pop up. A young man wasclimbing up into the crows nest. Brown,
messy, and short was the most she could tell of this man. Of course she
could only see his hair, but that was because his back was to her. He
seemed to be listening to someone down onn deck. Pulling her dagger out
from her sash, she held it to the back of the man's neck.
"Move and I'll slice your neck open thhrough the back, I'll make sure it's deep enough to be a second mouth," harshly whispering this to him she pressed a little harder makinga drop of blood appear just below his hairline. "Turn around," she said cautiously. The man turned around to face her. 'Nice,' she thought. 'Very nice.'
He looked at her defiantly as he started to speak, "Miss, Raine sent me up here to tell you to bring your lazy ass down there before she pummels you." He started to turn away and make his way back down the ladder before she recovered from the shock of being so surprised by the attractive young man before her.
"Hey bboy," she called down from the top pof the ladder. He looked to her," W'az ye name boy?" she asked, as quietly as she could for the sake of her hhead, but loud enough for him to hear her. When he didn't answer just smirked, she jumped down, not bothering with the ladder and strode to him. "Well?" she asked holding the dagger once again to his throat.
"the names Alex, miss. And you would be Noa Lea Red. No need to further our aquiantinces, I'm sure your husband would get thoroughly upset." Turning on his heel he left her with a shocked expression. Her husband had been dead for 5 years now. Thank god. He'd beaten the life out of her, and the night that he died wasn't accident. If Jay hadn't been there to strangle him and toss him over the side of the ship, the Orliander, he would have killed her. Funny thing that. The night he died, her ship blew up. She snorted yet again and walked to the helm to talk with Raine. Seeing Raine was concentrating very hard on Jacks compass, she managed to sneak up behind her quite easily.
"Well, wa'd ye come up with, sweet?" she asked nonchalantly. Raine laughed. Raine had known she was there. She always did, which also meaant she witnessed everything that just happened. Raine had been there through it all with Noa. Noa had raised Raine since Raine was four. She was an inncent little girl who never said anything without thoroughly thinkingit through first. And when she and her, at the time, 10 year old parent of a sort became pirates on the Orliander with some assholes that ran it, her eyes had grown large and she'd never been happier. The wind in her hair, theboat rocking. The girl had never had a fear. Noa couldn't remeber a time without her. Of course, for the fearless, there always came a drawback. Raine was clumsy as hell. Chuckling she sat down on the stairs leadding up to the helm.
"Well, we're going to Port Royal. And I've figured out the compass, actually, Jack told me but I swore on pain of death I wouldn't tell ye or anyone else for tha' matter. Savvy?" she was stil concentrating hard on the compass. Raine turned the wheel a little to far to the left, so she straightened it before dropping the compass and it rolled across the deck. Standing at the wheel in complete silence with Noa, she locked the wheel. "There we go!" she exclaimed happily. Before jumping over to Noa andsitting down next to her. The girl was 17 with energy to kill. "SHTI!" she screamed before hopping back up and running toward where the compass had fallen. Noa started laughing so hardshe doubled over clutching her stomach. And that's when Jack emerged from below decks.
"Bloody hell." he muttered looking around, "she comandeered me ship, with me on it!!" Grumbling he made his way towards the wheel. Taking in his surroundings and the odd woman on the steps, he made hiis way to her. Before he could ask her a simple queston he was on the deck, flat on his back, with a sword at his throat. This woman was good.
"We'll nbe havin none of the angry Jackon board with us today, savvy?" she told him menacingly before crouching down to mumble something in his ear, " And you hurt her I kill you." Standing back up she walked below deck. Straightening his shirt he stood up.
"There was no need to get physical love, I was just gonna ask you where Raine was. Damn." Looking around after this he took in the appearance of Raine standing across the deck from him looking out at the sea, her hands mid air. Walking over to her, he placed a hand on her shoulder. "Wha'cha lookin at, love?" he asked quietly. She slowly turned her head to him.
" Oh nothin'," she said quietly, "just havin some memories is all." She said it so quietly he almostcouldn't believe it was the real Raine.
"Damn, Kitten, ye scarin' me now," he said uncomfortably. "Wha' memories?" He leaned on the railing and turned to look at her. She moved slightly as if debating weither or not to tell him. Before she got a chance to say anything he asked, " And where the hell are ye takin me ship?"
Laughing she quickly started speaking. " Well, we're going to see my brother who has no idea I'm alive, and he lives in Port Royal. I'll be leaving Noa on the ship and you'll be comin with me, as I'm sure you know him. " Starring at her with a horrified look on his face.
"Please say it isn't that blasted Commodore Norrington!" Laughing at this, Raine shook her head. "No, no. He's not that bloody commodore. I really hate him!" Jack looked as though he'd never been happier.
"I hate that bastard too! Wow.. I''m liking you more and more with every second. First I find out you beat barbosa at poker, then you kiled those men he hired, and now! YOU hate the COMMODORE!!! Life is getting beautiful. Oh, I almost forgot, you hated Barbosa almost as much as I did!" Laughing merrily he walked away without even finding out who her brother was. She started thinking to herself. 'I hope I meet up to Will and Elizabeth's expectations.'
"Move and I'll slice your neck open thhrough the back, I'll make sure it's deep enough to be a second mouth," harshly whispering this to him she pressed a little harder makinga drop of blood appear just below his hairline.
