The Eve Chronicles, Chapter 2
Eve's first plunder and the events thereafter
Eve Torros squinted at the distance. It had been three weeks since she had begun her piracy and she'd already spotted the island on which was buried her, soon to be, first plunder.
Her first mate Parkinson walked up to her, "Capt'n, the island's been spotted," he said grizzly.
"Cheers Parkie," smiled Eve. "Now prepare to lower the anchor."
He furrowed his eyebrows, a look of concern flashed across his face. "The anchor? Now?"
"Aye," nodded Eve, her smile widening.
"But… we're quite a distance from the island."
Eve looked out to the distance, "True. And I would get a little closer if weren't for that for that giant reef surrounding the entire island, so we'll be taking the long boats out there savvy?"
Parkinson grunted in reply.
"Look 'ere Parkie, I know all a bit… iffie about women bein' bad luck and all, but you're all just going to have to trust me. And besides I've found a way to counter the bad luck."
Parkinson raised an eyebrow.
"You see by wearing this bandana," started Eve pointing at the bandana atop her head. "and being part gypsy counters the bad luck. But this bandana worn by a girl who is not part gypsy increases it, but that's completely irrelevant because I'm wearing it, savvy?"
Parkinson looked blank for a moment before give a small smile, "aye, that would do it."
Eve grinned at him and then shouted to the crew, "Lower the anchor! Prepare the longboats! We've got us a treasure to plunder!"
~~~~~
"And now fifty paces to the right and that's where is buried!" exclaimed Eve happily.
She and her crew had been pacing all over the island and they had finally found the location of the treasure.
"It should be buried right 'ere!" she said pointing to the ground.
"But Capt'n!" called out Gordon, one of the crew. "This is where we start'ed!"
Eve turned and saw the longboats on the beach, the same place they'd left them hours ago.
"Oh bollocks…" she muttered. Eve turned back to her crew, who were all staring at her. "Well go on you poncy whelps! Dig it up!"
The crew groaned and Eve walked over to Lee who had a giant grin plastered on his face.
"Smooth Eve," smirked Lee.
"Oh sod off."
Lee kept grinning at her.
"Do you want to start digging," threatened Eve.
"I'll be good…"
Gordon ran up to them, "Capt'n! We've struck some'ing!"
Eve gave a wicked grin, "Bloody brilliant! Lift it out!"
Eve and Lee followed Gordon over to the hole. The crew carefully lifted out a big chest.
"Capt'n, it's locked," informed Benji, another member of the crew.
Eve smiled, pulled out a pistol and shot out the lock. She slowly opened the chest. Gold doubloons shone up at them.
"Perfect. Now you've only got two more to dig up."
The crew looked at her.
"Two more Capt'n?" gasped Gordon.
"Aye mate," confirmed Eve, her grin widening. "And when you've done that, yeh can load 'em up in the boats and take them back to me ship, with equal shares in the treasure of course."
The crew all exchanged glances and then started digging furiously.
"Bloody brilliant…" murmured Eve to herself.
~~~~~
Three treasure chests later, the weather had taken a turn for the worst.
"Capt'n," started Gordon, looking out to the cloudy horizon. "It's to dangerous to row out to the ship today."
"Yes, the waves are far to unruly," agreed Eve, pocketing her looking glass.
"So what are yeh orders capt'n?" asked Gordon down turning to her.
"We'll make camp 'ere for tonight and we'll get back out to the ship as soon as the weather improves."
"And the ship?"
"Parkinson's an experienced sailor and he's got some of the crew there to help 'im, we can trust 'im with the Deep Rhapsody," Eve looked up at Gordon. "It looks like the storms only going to be a problem for the ship, it's unlikely to hit the island, so why don't we have some fun…"
"What are yeh suggesting capt'n?"
A devious grin appeared on Eve's face, "Party."
She turned suddenly and walked off. Gordon came running after her, "Capt'n, a party? But we've got no music! No food! No rum!"
"Ah, but that's where your wrong," she bent down and pulled open a concealed trap door.
"Apparently, the traders used this island for awhile and they've left quite a few valuable items." Eve jumped down into the cellar and climbed back out with a box full of rum bottles.
She pushed the box into Gordon's arms, took a bottle for herself and started back for the campsite. He stood there dumfounded.
"Hurry up Gordon!"
He stumbled after her, "What about the food and music?"
"Well I've got me violin with me, as for food, who needs it when you've got rum!" Eve lifted her bottle to him and took a swig.
Gordon smiled deviously, and took a bottle for himself and toasted back to Eve.
"Now I say we celebrate our first plunder!"
"Aye Capt'n!"
They reached the campsite and saw the crew had already set alight a bon-fire, for the day was fast turning into night.
"Listen up!" Eve called to her crew. "I'm very pleased with your pirating and as a reward we are going to party! We've found some rum and there's more, which Gordon will get in a minute, so enjoy!"
The crew all lunged for the rum and Eve walked over to the longboats and pulled out her violin and started up a song.
The crew cheered, and the party began.
~~~~~
"Tha' Capt'n Eve Torros," slurred Gordon to several other members of the crew. "Now she's a fine lass."
"Oh aye!" agreed the others drunkenly.
"Hey ten pounds I get 'er into bed tonight!" propositioned Gordon.
"Bollocks! Fifteen says I get 'er in bed tonight!" countered Benji.
"I'll 'ave tha' bet!" interrupted Barty, another crew member.
"I think yeh both full o' it! It's obvious tha', tha' boy Lee, is gonna 'ave 'er tonight," said Nick, pointing at Eve and Lee, dancing around the fire.
"Yea, but when a lass like tha' 'as a choice between a boy like 'im and a man like me," started Gordon, smiling drunkenly. He then pointed to Benji, "and an ugly arsehole like Benji, of course she'll bed me!"
"'Ey!" yelled Benji in protest. "Compared to ye, I'm a bloody… bloody… sex god!"
"Are yeh bloomin' mad?! No way is she beddin' a bastard like ye!"
"Will yeh two stop yellin?!" ordered Nick, covering his ears.
"NO!" yelled Benji and Gordon in unison.
"Why don't yeh both go and try to woo 'er, so's we can settle this stupid argument!"
Benji and Gordon looked at each other, and then both scrambled to their feet and ran over to their captain.
"'ello mates!" called Eve happily.
Lee smiled at them and turned Eve in her arms as they danced.
"Capt'n!" started Gordon.
"Eve!" interrupted Benji.
"Can I 'ave this…"
"No can I …"
"Dance!" yelled Gordon finally.
Lee and Eve smiled at each other.
"I know," started Eve, a mischievous grin flashed across her face. "Why don't I dance with both of yeh!" Eve took a hold of both of them and pulled them close to her. She flashed a wink at Lee, then steered the two drunken pirates away from the fire, into the darkness.
Lee went and sat with the other pirates, a devious grin plastered on his face.
"Bad luck lad!" commented Barty. "Tha' lass is very fine indeed!"
Lee's grin grew wider, "Aye," he agreed.
~~~~~
"I 'ave a confession to make," started Eve, pulling away from the two pirates. "I've fancied both o' yeh ever since I laid eye's on yeh!"
Gordon and Benji both grinned stupidly.
"So let's make this a proper party!" she said seductively.
They both approached her, and she kissed each of them passionately.
She pulled back, "Now I'm gonna get us some more rum, why don't you two take off all yeh clothes and be ready for when I come back."
They both nodded and Eve strutted off. As soon as they lost sight of her, they both tore their clothes off and threw them into the bushes and awaited their captain.
~~~~~
Eve doubled around and sneaked quietly into the bushes. She spied her two dimwitted pirates, completely naked and saw their clothes lying just in front of her. Silently as she could, Eve reached out and gathered them up. She turned and started to walk off.
Suddenly a twig snapped under her boot and she dropped to the ground, becoming completely rigid.
Gordon and Benji both looked in the direction of the noise.
"Damn rats is everywhere!" quipped Benji and they both broke out in drunken laughter.
Eve breathed a sigh of relief and made her retreat. She ran back out to the campsite and threw the clothes across the beach.
Her pirate crew all looked at her in amazement as she walked up to Lee.
"Care to dance?"
"Love to," he took a hold of her hand and they started dancing again.
The pirates all took a big swig of rum and started up talk about what just happened.
"So Eve," whispered Lee. "What did you do to them?"
Eve smiled wickedly, "Oh, I'm just teaching them a lesson."
"Tell me."
"Don't worry, you'll see soon."
~~~~~
"I wonder wha's takin' so long," wondered Benji.
"Yeah, maybe we should go check…"
They both turned to where they'd left their clothes.
"Where are they?!"
They both searched frantically for their clothing.
"Bloody rats!"
"No Benji! Don't yeh see! Someone's taken 'em and taken Eve hostage!"
"Hostage?"
"Aye! Hostage! Cause there 'as never been a lass who can resist me charms…"
Benji stared at him.
"And yer charms o' course! We're irrisitable!"
They both looked at each other.
"We 'ave to save the capt'n! Let's go!"
They both pulled a couple of leaves off a bush, to cover themselves and ran out to the campsite.
"AHHHHHHHH!" They both yelled, stumbling out there as they did.
The crew all looked at them astounded and then at Eve and then burst out in laughter.
"Unhand 'er!" Gordon yelled at Lee.
"Ok," Lee let Eve go and she folded her arms.
"Wait, ye weren't taken 'ostage!"
Eve smirked and shook her head.
"But… but… oh…"
Gordon and Benji stood there awkwardly, holding the leaves in front of themselves.
Eve turned to her crew, "Now I want you to all understand this very important detail, I will NOT a tart and I will NOT be relieving any of yeh from yeh lust. I want you all to know that you have no chance what so ever of 'wooing me' and I'm no one's bonnie lass. Try it and yeh might end up starkers on some beach. Savvy?"
They all nodded and Gordon and Benji turned red.
"Oh and Benji, Gordon, those leaves are poisonous, they cause terrible rashes."
They both looked down and screamed.
The crew burst out into laughter once again as the two pirates went stumbling around, trying to gather all their clothes.
Eve laughed, leaning on Lee for support. She loved being captain…
