Hi everyone...well this is the first time I've tried to post a POTC story
so please be kind. I have a pretty good story line worked out for it, but
the premise was given to me by Pirate Gyrl so I just want to thank her. :-
) Anyway, if anyone can see something that I need to improve on, please let
me know ASAP, along the line of inconsistencies in facts or anything. So
without further ado I give you:
The Velvet Star Chapter 1: Moonlight Revelations
Genevieve frowned at the man seated behind the expansive desk. The moonlight streamed in through the small window behind him as he smiled at her sadistically.
"Do you know the punishment for pretending to be a man in the Royal Navy?" Brigand asked her quietly.
She did, of course, know the penalty. She knew it when she had enlisted six months before. And she was paying the price for it now.
"Yes sir, I do."
"And you know that you could be arrested right now. I have Johnson and Germaine waiting outside to take you to the brig if you put up a fight."
She was silent as she waited for the captain to continue.
"You have two choices Gen- I mean Genevieve," Baker said hospitably. He stood and turned his back on her, surveying the seascape.
"Your first choice, and I would highly suggest this one is you can leave when we return to land. You will be honorably discharged to public knowledge, if anyone cares to ask. But you will continue to work for me. There's a small matter I need assistance with, but we can discuss that once you've made your decision." He paused for a moment and turned to study her reaction, to gauge her mindset before he continued.
"Your second choice, and I wouldn't choose this one if I were you, is you can fight me and be held to trial when we return to land in a few days. If you choose this one you will be sent to the brig as soon as we end this conversation and you will probably be taken to trial where I will push for the maximum punishment." With a smile he spread his arms wide. "Which one do you want?"
Genevieve folded her hands in her lap. "The first one," she said quietly. Brigand grinned widely, the look of a cat who had just cornered a mouse glinting in his eyes. "I am so glad you said that missy." He seated himself behind the desk again and propped his feet on top of it cockily. "Now we can discuss the terms of the agreement."
