Codswallop Ch 7

On the Babushka

Tom awoke the next morning, and yawned. The bed was empty...as usual. Izzy had been ignoring him lately, but he didn't care. That woman was getting on his last bloody nerves. After all, if it weren't for her he wouldn't have to be sailing a crew of common-kissing crazy-eyed wenches behind a pirate ship. He sighed, and stood, then walked to the door. He tried to open the door, but when it opened it hit something, and the something screamed in pain. He poked his head out of the door to see who it was.

Amanda, still hung over, attempted to stand, but failed. She fell back but was caught by Tom. She looked up into his eyes and squinted, then smiled broadly. "I love you." She said to him unable to control the words coming from her lips.

"If ye say so, luv." Tom said carrying her to his bed, and laying her down gently. Immediately Amanda began to snore. Tom smiled at her, as he pulled the covers over her, and made his exit.

On the Otis, Yignacio approached Jack. "Pardon me sir, 'ave ye noticed that ship over there. Its been following us for quite some time now, lad."

"Please refrain from calling me lad, as I am much older than you."

"I disincline to acquiesce your request...means no. So what shall ye be doing about our company?"

Jack sighed. "Let them follow, we'll deal with them when we get to Tortuga, savvy?"

"If ye say so, lad."

"Please call me Jack." He said annoyed.

"Alright, luv, I mean...Jack." She opened her mouth wide when she said Jack. "Sounds like a monkey's name."

Jack rolled his eyes, and left.

In Anna Maria's room, Patrick was alone, so Yignacio pranced right in. "What goes on in here?"

Patrick looked at her and blinked. "Nothing as ye can see."

"Why so glum, chum?" Yignacio asked taking a seat in a wooden chair by the bed.

"It's Anna Maria. Everyone is getting annoyed of her, and so am I. I don't love her."

"She loves you." Yignacio said with a frown.

"Tell me something I don't know." Patrick said with a sigh.

"Lorilie has a knee fetish."

"I didn't mean it like that."

"Sorry, poppet. Disregard that last comment then...but I can help ye with your Anna Maria problem."

"And how is that?" Patrick asked.

"Hmm...I'm not quite sure yet...give me moment." Yignacio went into a corner and began to chew on some paper. She then got up and approached Patrick who now had a confused look on his face.

"I am a psychic, and my 6th sense tells me that she loves you. She will die for you. There ends your problem. The downfall of Anna Maria will be you. So technically you have solved your own problem."

Patrick scratched his head. "If you say so..."

And with that Yignacio left. She also knew when where why and how Anna would die, but decided to let time take its path.

"ALL HANDS ON DECK!" Jack yelled. One by one each member of the crew came, including Yignacio. "We have arrived. Tortuga awaits us."

"What shall we do about the stalking ship?" Yignacio asked drunkenly.

"We shall find out who is on it, and then act accordingly." Jack replied.

"That won't be wise, Jack. I know who is on that ship, and if we get off this ship now, someone will die." She looked at Anna Maria.

"Who is on that ship if I may be so bold as to ask?" Jack questioned.

"Elizabeth."

"And how do you know that?" Will asked terrified.

"Psychic." Yignacio said plainly.

Jack turned to Yignacio. "I see..." He turned to the crew. "Do not listen to what she says. Go! Tortuga awaits ye!"

Everyone left, except Yignacio. "What fools these mortals are." She took her hat, sat in a corner and fell asleep on the ship.

The crew of the Otis headed straight to the Bar called (place name here), followed by the crew of the Babushka.

While in (place name here), Patrick met a lass named Lacey. Anna watched from afar as they talked to one another, and to keep from doing anything irrational she ordered rum.

"Is there anything else you would like, miss?" the bartender asked.

"Nay." She said resting her head on the counter.

From the Babushka crew, all except Amanda and Tom were present. Izzy approached Will, Elizabeth went up to Patrick, Stephanie cut between Lorilie and Jack, and Jhanille sat at the bar next to Anna Maria.

Izzy slapped Will across the face. "Bloody low life. I see you've taken a fancy to low life wench." She said as she looked at Jenilia.

Jenni grew angry and punched Izzy in the face. Izzy stumbled back, shocked that she was hit. "Who are you calling a low life wench, you tramp- trodden harlot?"

Izzy's eyes widened as she withdrew a sword from her waist. "We shall she who's the harlot." Jenni took out her blade and they began to fight.

Noticing the commotion, Patrick looked up, but Elizabeth blocked his view. "The show is this way." Elizabeth said pushing Lacey out of the way.

Enraged, Lacey got into Elizabeth's face, and punched her in the nose. "Don't touch me you whore!" Lacey screamed at Elizabeth watching her nosebleed.

Patrick smiled, but it faded as he saw Elizabeth come after him with an empty rum bottle. Lacey and Patrick ran past Jack, Lorilie, and Stephanie.

Stephanie kicked Lorilie in the knee, and sat in Jacks lap. "Hello, luv." She said to him. He pushed her off, and stood behind Lorilie who was now wielding her sword and prepared for battle.

Stephanie jumped up onto the bar, parrying all of Lorilie's blows. "You're better than you look, woman. Then again you don't look very good either." Lorilie told the girl as she stepped on Anna Maria's fingers.

"DRAT!" Anna yelled.

Jhanille laughed in Anna's face, and began to wheeze.

"SILENCE WHORE!" Anna said pulling out her pistol. Jhanille kicked her hand and it missed and shot Izzy.

"GOOD SHOT!" Jenilia yelled from across the bar.

Adriana and Sam were helping Patrick and Lacey fight off the love stricken Elizabeth. El Teacup and Lennon were fighting random people in the bar who were trying to get in on the fighting.

After a few more moments of fighting, the glasses stopped breaking and the noise ceased.

Lorilie looked around. Stephanie was on the floor unconscious. Jenni, Will, Jack, Lacey, Adriana, Sam, El Teacup, Lennon, Patrick, and Elizabeth were the only ones left standing.

Elizabeth looked from Patrick to Adriana to Sam to Lacey. "Fools!" She spat. "I'll be back!" And with that she took off but fell on her butt because she slipped in some spit. "God's knees!" she screamed. She stood up again and made her way out of (place name here).

Anna Maria approached Patrick and Lacey, who were now kissing. "Patrick?"

He looked up at her. "I'm sorry, Anna. I just...don't love you..."

"...Oh...I love you...goodbye..." Anna stuttered pulling out her pistol. Tears filled her eyes as fled from the bar, and no one followed her. Then they all turned as they heard a gunshot in the distance.

"Jack..." Lorilie said. "Do you think she..."

Before Lorilie finished Jack ran out of the bar, and everyone followed. They all saw Jack leaning over a dead body. "What's done is done." He said grimly. He made his way back to the ship without another word.

Yignacio greeted him. "Hate to say it, but I told ye so. I really did fancy her." She stood touched Jack on the shoulder then walked away. "I'm sorry." She said over her shoulder.
