"Why do you hide?" The other asked her, she was back. "Of course I'm back,
I'm always there."
"Go away, leave me alone!" she took a heavy lamp and through it at the other. It hit the captain full in the face. He rocked back on his heels and looked at her, she dove under the covers.
"Well, I guess you don't want to share the blankets." She hissed from under the blankets. "Alright then. I'll just sleep with no covers." He heard her grunt vaguely from under the pile and lay down on his bed and began to snore. Maria relaxed and soon found herself asleep as well. But her dream was no paradise.
She watched as she approached the captain chained to the rack. His eyes pleaded for help. She held a knife in her hand and lowered it to his stomach. Then she was chained to the rack and he was approaching her with a knife and lowered it to her belly. She screamed and writhed as he cut slow measured cut in her belly and lowered his hungry head to feast on his prey. She screamed.
Sitting jolt up in her bed and having the captain looking at her.
"What is wrong with you? You bloody well woke up half the world?" She stared at him and backed up into the wall hugging the blankets close to her.
"Why do you care?" she whispered wide-eyed. "Why have you brought me here?"
"Because we be needin a new crew member, sense Anna-Maria drowned." His voice trailed off. Then his eyes met hers.
"That why? Bloody hell man!" she screamed, Jack plugged his ears. "It would've been nice if you told me before you sent your goons after me!"
"How was I supposed to know ye'd throw a pitching fit luv!" he yelled over her long scream of profanities.
"Huh, I don't know..." she yelled sarcastically waving her hands in the air.
"Luv ye don't have to yell!" he said.
"Well I'm done speaking with you any way! Goodnight." She sighed and went back under the covers.
"You know what he is, don't you? Don't trust him." The other said into her head, she lowered the cover so only her eyes showed out underneath.
"What do you mean?"
"You know what I mean. You're his prisoner; he will haunt you till the end. He will kill you."
"How do I get out?" she asked.
"Kill him, before he kills you." She shook her head.
"I can't do that."
"You can." She looked down and there was a knife in her hands. She stood and approached the sleeping captain. "They will never find you. Throw him overboard." She nodded to the window. Maria raised the knife over her head and shot it down to Jack's heart. Jack's eyes flew open as he stared at the gaping hole in his chest. Her eyes went wide, he had done nothing. He opened his mouth to say something but only a bubble of blood appeared and popped, letting a line of blood drip down his chin.
Then Jack woke up screaming.
"You complain about me being loud." Maria said from the pile of blanket. Jack looked down at his chest and saw no hole from it. He stared at Maria. And Maria blinked; it was in that moment she saw in carnivorous with her blood streaming down from his mouth. He licked his lips.
"Maria?" His voice made her blink again and he was clean of all blood. She followed her gaze to her lap and saw a blood stained knife. She dropped it on the ground and got up shakily. Jack shook his head and saw her sitting with no knife in hand and walked back out of the cabin for some fresh air.
