Chapter 9!
Disclaimer: Me-no-own-no-person
Anna and Emlis spent the next day cleaning the entire ship. The only room they didn't clean was behind a locked door with a glass window. Emlis didn't know what the room was used for, but Anna explained it to him. It was the room that held all of the gambling games that Jack used to trick poor helpless souls. Now, Anna didn't know what the room was used for, but she did see Jack and a few of his crew come in and out of it.
By sundown, Anna and Emlis were exhausted. Their jobs ranged from cleaning out the toilettes to telling jokes to the crew members. Anna could tell Emlis couldn't go anymore, so she hid him in their room. As she walked away from the room, she felt a rough hand grab her shoulder.
"Where're you going' little pretty?" A rough-looking man with a scruffy beard grunted. Anna tried to get out of his grip. (Trust me this is PG)
"I believe that is none of your business." Anna replied coldly, now digging her nails into the man's rough hand.
"Where's your friend?" the man asked in an even rougher voice.
"He is…cleaning the lower decks." Anna said quickly. There was no way she was going to let this man disturb Emlis' sleep. He wasn't use to the harsh sun that was above the surface.
"Ah, well then it's lucky I found you." The man said, now dragging her by the scruff of her neck into another room. "I've had a little accident and I need you servants to clean it up." He led her down a passage to the bathrooms that were next to the game room. There was a crowd hovering over one of the toilettes. What Anna saw made her want to gag really badly. (No it is not sexual in any way, shape, or form) There was no way she was cleaning that up.
"You did that on purpose!" she said angrily. She supposed her anger gave her strength, for at that moment she broke free from the man's grip and swiftly punched him in the face.
"Why you little worm!" the man bellowed, grabbing her by the neck. "I'll --,"
"What is going on down here!" someone had opened the door. At first Anna was thankful as she saw Jack step in, but then she realized it was his fault that she was in the predicament in the first place.
No, it was your own foolhardy desire to go on an adventure, said a little voice in her head.
"Sir, your servant refuses to clean this mess up!" the rough man said, his grip tightening on Anna's throat to where she couldn't breathe. Jack took a step closer and looked at what the men where concealing. By the look of pure disgust on his face, Anna could tell he was just as angry as she was.
"This was made by you men on purpose!" Jack said angrily. "Do you men honestly think you have the privilege of using my servants! Drop her this instance!" The man did as Jack told him and dropped here onto the cold floor. She looked up at Jack and wanted to thank him, but saw he still wasn't happy.
"Where's your canine companion?" he asked her.
"Working on other parts of the ship." Anna replied quickly. Jack raised an eyebrow, obviously not believing her.
"Get up," he replied. "Since your doggie friend is not to be seen, then you can have the honor of making dinner." Anna got up and looked at him. Why did he help her get out of cleaning the disgusting mess the men made? "Come on, you wouldn't want us to starve would you?" Jack said impatiently. He grinned. "Then we couldn't take you to the West like you wanted." Anna hurried out of the room to do his bidding.
A/N Yay! 9 is completed! Wow, that whole mess with the sailors….well I don't even know what that is for. You can leave your imagination to decide that one. Hey I really enjoy reviews and that's what keeps me going. 1 review for 1 chapter is my goal. So, if there's one person out there loving this, then that's good enough for me!
