I like to do research on my stories so I don't mess stuff up so I did some research on pirate talk and so I didn't make up these phrases.


Yea sorry about the first chapter. I'm not too good at those. Well, here it is continued....



**************************************************************************

There was singing and dancing and drinking and music. The night was coming on swiftly and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.


Suddenly a stage was lit up with torches at each end and 3 wooden cages were brought out, each with a beautiful blonde woman inside. The crowd hooted and called out to the women. "These here be the ladies of the disGrace Boa," said the announcer on the stage. The crowd burst into laughter and more cat calls and whistles were made.


"Look Capn' Jack," said Jimminie, "The daughters." But Jack merely looked away.


"Thas not his daughters,"he said.


"What de ye mean?"asked Jimminie.


"Come with me,"said Jack and got up. They walked over to a cabin away from the howling crowd.


"I know this place like the back of me own hand, mate," Jack said as he pushed open the door. A short fat man stumbled up to them. "Well shiver me timbers! Capn' J-Jack, so v-very good to see ye here," the man stuttered, "I meant to invite ye but I-I...eh...ye see...."


"No worries Gaung," Jack smiled, but he was looking at a cloth covered cage in the corner. "So yer plannin' to sell er tonight, eh?" The man nodded, looking a bit shamed and looked down at the floor.


At that moment five men came in. "A-Are we all ready?" asked Gaung. His question was answered by Aye's and Smartly there! Gaung threw off the cloth. A young woman sat wrapped in a huge dirty blanket. Her skin was pale and her eyes were a deep sea green. Her hair was tied up and under a bandana. Her head jolted up at the very sight of the men and she moved towards the corner away from them.


"Not much ter look at is she?" some of the men laughed. "Mustn't forget who er father be!" the men laughed again. The young woman buried herself inside the blanket, not wanting to hear what they had to say.


"She goes by the name of Adelei ( author's note: I know, I know, I'm stealing from Sound of Music but I really like the name!)," Gaung choked.


"I'll give ye three gold coins," said one of the men and slammed three coins down on the table. The rest of the men offered silver, silk, more gold.


"An' what will ye give me, Capn' Jack?" asked Gaung with a smile.


"I'll let ye live to the end of yer days," Jack said, taking out his sword. "it be a fair trade ."


The other men groaned. "Why didn' I think of a death threat?" they muttered as they left the cabin.


"A f-fair trade it b-be," stuttered Gaung, "I'll be callin Maybell to get er ready. Suppose ye be wantin er in er original dress, eh?"


"Aye, " nodded Jack, "An' what age she be?"


"Don' know, but looks young ter me," Gaung said, looking at the cage. Then his voice dropped to a whisper, "She's fresh, if ye get me." Jack raised an eyebrow.


"She was kidnapped by pirates," he said, almost laughing, "How fresh can she be?"


"Fresh, I tell ye," said Gaung, "I had nurses check er. Untouched is what she be."


"Not for long," Jack muttered and told Gaung to have her ready by tomorrow morning.
