A/N: Third chapter! Yah! I made it to the third chapter!
'Don't do anything stupid.' Allie told herself as Damien Copper came in her direction.
"Hi, you're Allie Sparrow, right?"
"Yeah."
"Nice to meet you, I'm Damien."
As they talked, it came up that Allie wasn't going on the attack on Haroldtown.
"You're not going?" he asked in surprise. Allie already felt embarrassed.
"I'm not allowed."
"That doesn't make sense if you ask me. My uncle is letting me go."
"I know. I guess my father's just trying to protect me."
"It would be great if you could talk him in to letting you go. He might let you if you stay with me." Damien said. Allie liked this idea. They went to find the Captain.
"Daddy?" she called, knocking on his door. She used her innocent sweet voice because he always gave in when she did.
"What is it?"
"Well, me and Damien, we were wondering if I could go to on the attack. I'll stay with Damien the whole time. And I'll be careful and-"
Her father raised his hand and then looked at Damien.
"Mr. Copper, are you attempting to undermine my authority?" he asked.
"No sir. Never. It's just- well, I get to go, and I'm only one year older than she is."
"This is none of your concern, lad."
"Sir, I-"
"But she may go."
"But sir-…huh? She can?"
"I can?" Allie asked, in astonishment.
"Aye, but wait. I have to give ye something." He handed her a sword. "Had it made a few months ago. Mind ye it cost a fortune so take care o' it."
Allie tossed it in the air and caught it again, easily. She noticed it was very sharp, too. And she could see her reflection perfectly in the blade.
"Thanks!" She said, and then she carefully gave the sword to Damien and hugged her dad.
"Alright, alright. Ye've made yer point." Her dad said, prying her away from him. He wasn't a 'hug' type of person.
Allie got her new sword and finally left after she said thank you about a million times.
"So when will we get to Haroldtown?" Allie asked Damien later.
"I don't know. I'll go ask my uncle." Damien said. He swung over to his ship, which was tied to the Black Pearl, and came back a few minutes later.
"About an hour."
"If you don't mind me asking, how did you become a pirate?"
"My mother died when my youngest sister, Jenna, was born, I was eight when that happened. I had three sisters. Hannah and Isabelle, the twins would be thirteen now. Jenna would be ten."
"What happened to them?"
"They're still alive. With my dad somewhere. He sent me to sea with my uncle, because I was…not very nice as a child, let's just put it that way. Well, I was evil. Hitting people, bullying, making fun of people. All the time. My dad thought that sending me to live with uncle would teach me something."
"Did it work?"
"No."
Allie was about to reply when she heard Dylan scream. She whirled around and saw Mr. Gibbs chasing him with a knife!
"Get back here you little sea urchin!"
"Allie! Allie!"
"Mr. Gibbs! Have you gone mad!" Anamaria called from the wheel.
"That little devil stole from me, he stole ten shillings!"
"Did not!" Dylan objected.
"Did to!"
"Mr. Gibbs! You're arguing with a nine-year-old!" Anamaria yelled. Then Jack came out.
"Wh-wha's goin' on? Are we under attack?"
"I'll tell ye wha's goin' on! That boy stole from me and he's goin' overboard!"
Dylan screamed again and ran behind Anamaria for protection.
"Honestly, Mr. Gibbs, how much rum have you had today?" Anamaria asked in annoyance.
"I only drank six times today for your information!"
"Alright, alright! Everyone calm down! Gibbs, was it ten shillings?"
"Aye it was, Captain."
"I borrowed that from you yesterday!"
"Oh…then never mind." Gibbs said, and went back below deck. Dylan came back out.
"Where's Gabrielle?" he asked. "She should hear about this."
"Well, that was an…interesting…distraction. Where were we?" Damien asked.
"Well, you said sending you to a pirate ship didn't help your behavior any, but that's understandable. How would your father think that it would help?"
"I dunno. But I have to admit, I'm not as terrible as I used to be."
About 45 minutes later
"There it is!"
"So I see." Allie said. The town was quite small. She knew that the twelve cannons and close to 100 pirates, between the two ships, should have no trouble at all.
"What for the signal before you fire!" she heard her father order as some men got the cannons ready.
When they were closer, she heard him yell, "FIRE!"
At once, the cannons went off.
"Everyone to the boats!" she heard Captain Stone yell. Allie grabbed her sword and followed Damien to a boat.
A/N: I'm ending the chapter here. But I'll have the fourth chapter up soon, I swear. Review!
