Chapter 14: Servant of Slave?
I only own the plot line. CaptainSwanShipper2004 this chapter is dedicated to you and your wonderful review. That review gave me inspiration to hurry up writing this next chapter.
Flashback to 50 years ago after a week aboard the ship.
"GET UP YOU INCOMPETENT BRATS!" The shrill voice of the captain caused the girls to jump out of their hammock beds. Groaning they scrambled to the deck where the crew threw them pieces of moldy bread while the starving girls fought over them like rabid dogs. Jill and Cassidy each ate half of theirs while stuffing the other half into their pockets for Jack.
"Scrub the deck you swabs!" Captain Fenton roared. Cassidy grudgingly grabbed a bucket and glared at the crew who kicked over a bucket of dirty water that she had just mopped. Standing up to to revelan it, she tripped as a member of the crew stuck over his foot. The clanging of her bucket summoned the captains attention over to her. He marched over and grabbed her by the hair forcing her to look at him and fight back tears.
"Foolish Girl! Can't you do anything right?" He said as he spat in her face and struck her across the face. Dropping her to the ground, Cassidy collapsed and bit her lip to fight back the tears. As soon as the captain left and the crew were distracted Jill rushed over with a damp rag and placed it on Cassidy's red cheek.
"Well, looks like he red handed you Cassie." Cassidy let out a shaky laugh
"Thanks."
"No problem. We is family after all." Cassidy smiled
"How's Jackie?" She asked
"Tired, bored, scared, same as usual I suppose" Jill muttered. Looking around to make sure they were alone she turned to Cassidy.
"I want to show you something. Follow me." Cassidy nodded and followed Jill below the deck to their quarters. Jill pulled up a loose floor beds where she had hidden her newest prize, a sword. Cassidy gasped as she pulled out the silver sword. It was smaller than most of the Pirates swords and slightly dinged up and rusted, but I was a sword none the less.
"Where did you-" she began. Jill grinned.
"Found it in the trash. Captain was going to throw it away. I snuck while on kitchen duty. I'm going to kill Fenton."
"What are you bloody mad?" Cassidy shouted. Jill quickly shushed her bu placing her hand over her mouth.
"Shut it would you? He deserves to die for what he put us through. Then we can sail on, make a new life on the high seas. Freedom at last.." Cassidy sighed. It did sound nice.
"Alright. But be careful Jill. I wouldn't know what to do without you."
