Chapter 2
"Yo ho! Yo ho! A pirate's life for me." I love that song with all that's in me. And the need for the fun that's to be had. Yet the first part was patience I had to give Andi time to arm my crew. Stupid Commodore! It's no wonder Jack escaped so easily. But then, after all my years of pirating I've learned that men are duped by women easily. How much longer 'til midnight? I need something to do until then. I could read a book, but that's no appeal. Or I could I know I could go for a swim… No, I'd lose the ship.
Get drunk! That's what I'll do, get drunk and I'm sure to be sober by midnight. Right? Of course, to the rum we're off. Maybe being drunk will help eliminate my feeling of unrest as well.
Hours later
Nope, didn't work. Being drunk only intensified the feeling. Damn! Well I think I've given them enough time. Time to go shoot the cannon at the Dauntless. This is going to be fun. Let's hop to it shoot the cannon swing onto the other ship brief squeamish and we're off with whatever goods they have on their ship.
Or so I thought. And hoped but Andi hadn't armed the crew yet! Oh look, I'. surrounded… What to do.
"Hello gentlemen. I believe you have a bunch of people that belong to me. Would you know anything about it?" hopefully my ruse would work. I prayed Andi would have the time to arm and release the crew while I distracted these buffoons.
"People that belong to you do you mean the pirates?" inquired Commodore Pole-up-his-ass.
"Who else would I mean? I am after all the Captain Jolene of the pirate ship Pure Rose. So wouldn't logically the pirates ye have belong to me? Or do ye say the pirates be someone else's?"
"Why do I have the feeling you are up to something? Like trying to rescue your crew."
"Ah… but then I could also be here to be captured like my crew."
"Meaning turning yourself in?" Clearly I was puzzling the poor man. Then I heard it the crew was coming.
"Or I could be here to loot your ship" and with that I drew my cutlass and started to attack. Unfortunately the fight didn't last long after I had my crew. But there was something between Andi and the Commodore because well she gave him the I-wish-you-were-a-pirate look. But within seconds of the end of the battle we were back on the Pure Rose set for a new day. Tomorrow was another day and you never knew what would happen.
"Jo. Captain Jolene!" I carefully poked my blonde captain. She rolled over and muttered in what I was fairly certain was a rum-induced sleep. "Jo, wake up. I've got a surprise for you."
"Andi, you have about thirty seconds to get out of my cabin before I chuck something at you," she mumbled.
"Just come see what I have. I promise it'll be worth it." Still objecting, she dragged herself out of her hammock and allowed me to pull her up to the deck.
"Dear lord, Andi," she muttered as she emerged to see the entire crew in a tight circle near the mast, "did you bring another man on board!"
"Not just any man." I lead her forward, pushing the rest of the crew aside. "Captain Jolene, I present Captain Jack Sparrow." Mr. Sparrow did indeed lie at my feet; asleep for probably the same reason Jo had been moments ago. "He was apparently being held by the Dauntless, and I decided you might find him…amusing?" Jo raised her eyebrows, and gave a curt nod before turning and heading back below deck.
"Alright, you all can understand that I assume. Captain Sparrow will be joining us for awhile. You're to tie his hands to the mast and then not go anywhere near him until told otherwise by Captain Jolene or myself. Or if he's dying," I added as an after thought, "you can go help him or whatever if he's dying. But try not to make obvious the fact that you've been kept from men of any decency for six months." There were numerous shouts of "aye" and a few giggles at, I assume, what they would do if the unconscious pirate in front of them wasn't off limits. Probably a few minds, mine being one of them, were trying to figure out what exactly Jo had in mind. There were only two issues I could find in having Jack present.
His crew was probably looking for him, and Commodore Norrington would probably now be looking for us. Perhaps the latter wasn't such a terrible thing…Whoa! Why am I thinking like that? I am Cassandra Monserat, first mate of the Pure Rose, the greatest and probably only pirate ship to be crew by only women. I need no man, nor do I waste thoughts on them unless I've spent one too many nights alone. And that was only when we hadn't been near Tortuga for awhile or looted any good ships. You see, male pirates are at a bit of a disadvantage if you ask me. When they raid a ship, the best thing they can get is treasure, maybe a few prisoners, and in very rare cases a woman to capture. Now, female pirates can get all those things. Plus, the thought of taking men as prisoners is far more appealing. And men aren't quite as hesitant to go to bed with a pirate, at least if she's female. So just try telling me we've got the short end of the stick.
