For those who don't know it's pronounced (Akay-lee-uhh). It took me a while, so don't feel bad. This isn't my greatest story, but oh well.

A thief and a pirate

Accalia sat in the darkest corner of the Blue town bazaar. An ideal place to swipe a few things from passing sailors stopping for some supplies. Next to her where a few broken deserted pots where she would keep her things and come back for them in the afternoon.
A pudgy man walked by and stopped at the stand beside her and bought his things. A rich man indeed... She thought noticing his moneybag that seemed to be filled to the brim with dabloons. When he made his purchase he began to walk off. This was her move. Like a shadow she crept out of her hiding place and stayed close behind the man she wanted to steal from. Closer and closer she came to him keeping quiet all the more. When she was in range she reached out for the bag. Sweat beaded on her head as she tried to get the bag without being noticed. With one quick movement she grabbed the bag with a jerk and ran for the high hills.
"Hey stop her! She took my money!" Cried the man, but no one turned to help him. His face turned red and he stormed for the police house. Accalia ran till she felt like she would throw up. Looking around she realized that she was far away from her stashing area. "Sir. Can you tell me where the food stands are?" She asked. The man smiled and pointed down an ally. "'Bout two and a half yards down that ally miss."
"Thanks a lot." She took her time going back after all the man might still be there and with police. Looking at the stands some people where selling beads, sari's from India and jewels from many other lands. Twice a few shopkeepers yelled her way, but twice she ignored. "Too expensive for me thanks!"
"There she is! The girl who took my money!" Ahead was the man with four other red dressed soldiers. Crap. She sped behind her back down the ally. The soldiers seemed to have no trouble keeping up with her. Shops flew by and a few times she thought she was going in circles. Her heart felt like it would explode and catching her breath seemed to be difficult. Accalia turned a corner to the docks and jumped in the water and swam as deep as she could with the breath that she had.
"Don't just stand there shoot her!" Yelled the large man.
The men raised their guns and shot into the water. Round after round they found nothing. A man stopped and walked away. "Sir she would have drowned by now. You still want your money go down there and get it." Soon the rest followed and the man's face flushed beat red. "You can't just let her get away with my money! I'll report you! Come back here!" He wailed. With a frustrated rage he left the docks.
Accalia sat at the bottom and struggled to stay there. Her lungs where on fire and she felt tingly. Flashes of her mom and dad came to the front of her mind and she squinted at them. It hurt to remember them, how weak they where to let themselves die. She would never be like them, she could take care of herself.
With a splendor of bubbles she couldn't keep her breath in anymore. With a jerk she shot back to the surface and took a long gasp, Fatigue set in and it took her a bit to get back on land and often she thought she wouldn't make it. Lying in the sun she caught her breath and gazed at the clouds.
"Mom I wish you where here..." she sighed. Her stomach sucked the last bit of food down and began to burn. Feeling for the moneybag she thought of bread and juice and all the food that you could imagine. "Where is it?" She kept feeling around, but found nothing. "God!" She smacked her head and lay in the sun waiting for some strength to actually move and get more money for food.
She sat back at her corner in the dark looking for more people that would seem to have at least enough to buy food for. It seemed as though hours went by and three times she fell asleep. Then a guy stopped at a shop that sold hats. This shop is quite expensive and has run its beaver-skinned hats for at least 20 coins! The man seemed interested with the beaver skins and even bought one. Her eyes trailed up to his hat he wore. It was very worn indeed, but it was a beaver skin none the less. She sighed and walked over.
"Least it will get me some money." She said when her stomach growled. Accalia stood next to him and pretended to be interested. The shopkeeper looked at her and saw threw her, but said nothing. Slowly she reached behind his back up to his hat. He turned his head to some hats in her direction and back to the one he was holding up. Quickly she grabbed the hat and ran as fast as her feet could carry her. Immediately he ran after her and with such great speed too. "Your gonna get it lass! Give me my affects!" Looking back she took a quick glance at his face. Slight beard, dreads, red bandana, and long leather coat.
Suddenly men stepped out in front of her and, accidentally mind you, knocked one of them over along with her.
"Wretch! What's yer problem?" He shoved her off and stormed off with the other men. She grabbed the hat and scrambled to get up, but strong hands grabbed her arms and spun her around. Up close the man was very attractive and she couldn't ignore it.
"I believe you have something of mine..." He stared at her with a forceful look.

"I don't think you would let a little girl starve would you?" She frowned and gripped the hat.
"Give it to me luv and I guess I could buy you a drink. I dun want to be burdened with guilt of lettin' such a pretty lass starve." She spat at his boot and pushed his hands off. "I can tell by your hands and smell you're a sea folk. More likely a pirate, filthy dogs that go around killing and stealing from people. I don't think I could ever except something from the likes of you."
He gave a surprised look and gave a small chuckle. "What's with the language? Look I'm offerin' free food so you can take it and live or starve."
With a quick thought she shoved the hat at him and crossed her arms. "Well I'm waiting." He smiled and put his arm around her. "I like you lass. We could use more stubborn people like you." She pushed his arm off and crossed her arms. "Yea whatever..."
They both drank a few drinks together in a semi-happy way, okay maybe she was being a little stubborn and wasn't talking to much to him. The man only smiled. "By the way," He held out his hand. "My name is Captain Jack Sparrow. And I think I've earned the right to know your name miss." She looked at him and took a drink. "Accalia."
"Accalia... what a beautiful name." He smiled showing all his gold tooth and other not so pretty teeth. "I hope we can be good friends." She glared at him with her dark, dark eyes. "I don't know if I could ever have friends... with someone like you." She gazed into her cup just dreaming of nothing. "Did I do anythin' to err... offend ye miss?" She looked up at him and made a small smile. "No... Thanks for the food." She got up and started to leave. Jack stood up and grabbed her arm and smirked. "Come on don't leave yet. I can let you see my ship if it'll make ye stay." Accalia hesently nodded, but longed to leave to her dark room where she could stay alone with herself.

This is probably the longest chapter I've done in a few months. So what do you think? I think it's sucks and it's too jumpy. Anyway that's all right. I love to hear from you.
