Chapter 4
"Back to work ye scallywags!" Jack savagely yelled at his crew and rapidly they disassembled from around Stella. Jack grabbed her by her hair and pulled her into his cabin. She was scared beyond belief because she had never seen someone so furious. He dropped her to the floor and slammed the door shut behind him. His eyes were blazing and she no longer saw the handsome pirate. No wonder he's so feared.
"What in God's name are ya doin' on me ship lass? Ya were a lad last night, what happened?" Under any other circumstances Stella would have laughed at the ridiculous question however at that time she wouldn't have dared. She slowly stood up and looked the Captain in the eyes.
"Look Cap'n I'm real sorry about all this it's just I needed to get away from Tortuga and I knew the Black Pearl could get me there." She could see his anger was beginning to subside so she decided to keep talking until he could be rational. "Ya see I have no family and I love piracy and thought what better way ta start than on the Black Pearl with THE Captain Jack Sparrow. And I know that girls are supposed ta be bad luck, so ya know, I played off as a lad."
"Ok lassy, I understand ya but ya still made me look like a bloody fool. What am I supposed ta do with ya? My crew's expectin' ya ta walk the plank or fer me ta run ya through with me sword." She went pale at the thought of being killed. She started trying to think of a way to make herself useful so they would keep her around.
"Well Cap'n Jack I guess I could earn my keep by um..." She swallowed hard, trying to get the words out, "offerin' pleasurable company ta the crew." She was whispering by the end of her sentence. She couldn't believe she was actually saying that.
