Post 2: I'm a Princess
"So what now?" Jade asked the man before her. They were in a lofty room that had a bed in it and Jade was really starting to wonder what he would be doing to her. She took in his appearance in fully now. His skin was tanned. His hair was somewhat long and slightly messy, with beads here and there in it and a red Spanish bandanna tied around his head. He wore a weathered hat and he a goatee that was braided into two strands at the bottom, also beaded. His white shirt and leather vest were open at his chest and he had wore the classic Pirate boots that folded over at the top.
"Now, you work." He replied happily. "The kitchen, I think, will be a good place to start. Actually, I'm feeling a bit peckish, aren't you?" He smiled. "What's your name love?"
"My name is Jade Victoria Mornigson, Princess of Wight." She answered, holding her head proudly. "And I am not your 'love'." Jack smiled.
"Captain Jack Sparrow. Right, well, I'll have a sandwich then, now that we've just restocked on all the goods. And that'll be lettuce-"
"I don't cook. Nor do I prepare food. I'm a princess! At my castle people hand me my fork! I've never been inside of a kitchen in my entire life." Jack's smile disappeared.
"I don't suppose you can clean, can you?"
Jade scoffed.
"Well, you're completely useless." He proclaimed. "God! And you're going to get a free ride on my ship!"
"Or," Jade started, taking advantage of the silent moment, "you could take me back and never have to worry about me again. I'll be out of you're hair." She smiled at herself as he considered it. 'Stupid Pirate' She thought.
"No. No, I don't think I will. You see, that would make you happy, and I'm not here to please you. Going back would be wasting time and effort. Plus, the British army is looking for me and my ship by now and I'm not going to just run to them, am I. Though, there is a possibility that they aren't." Now he grinned evilly.
"What do you mean?" Jade asked, feeling frightful.
"Well, I disabled the runner chain in the helm as soon as my crew and I got to your ship. It's one of my favorite tricks. And," he eyed Jade now. "You were planning on running away, weren't you? I saw the note you wrote in your drawer. So, I left it on the table, nice and visible like. So they might just not even bother with you."
"Damn you!" Jade yelled. They were going to come looking for her, she could feel it. "It doesn't matter, they will come looking anyhow, and then you and your crew will be in grave danger. The Westdon Newcrest is the fastest ship in all of England."
"And The Black Pearl is the fastest ship in all of the Caribbean, love. It's uncatchable, even when it's stopped." The he added, "and we've just got new sails, did you see them?" Jade looked around the room, it was his quarters, no doubt.
"Where am I sleeping?" Jack's smile grew even wider than before.
"Well you see love, the ships' got three chambers. One for the whole crew, one for my first and second mate, who are not seeing each other but share a room anyhow. And then there's my room." She nodded. "Well, you wont be sleeping with my crew, I'm not that mean, me mates don't really have room for you either. Now, I know what you're thinking love, but you are NOT going to sleep in my room." He chuckled. "I know, I'm irresistible, but you're not really my type. So now I've got Gibbs looking itno a broom closet for you."
Jade was in shock. A broom closet?
"Well, Jack,"
"Captain."
"Since you decided to take a princess on board as your prisoner you must suffer the consequences." With that she walked right over to his bed, threw off her dressing gown, and climbed into his surprisingly comfortable bed.
"Goodnight, Captain." She said, closing her eyes. Jack was in shock. How dare she!
"Now you listen here, I'm the captain of this ship and you've got no authority here, savvy? Now get out of my bed!"
"No, I don't think I will. And I like my eggs scrambled."
