Malya fiddled with her hair. With three snide comments about her appearance and about how much she was like her mother. She didn't even know her mother but she had become to hate her because of all of the comments. She stood and leaned against the mast when she heard the large doors from the captains quarters open. With a large creak of the oak doors the Captain stepped out. The clinking rum bottles rang into her ears as the captain walked over to her and sat down as she stood standing. He pulled her down and looked out.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?"

"Yes," she said. She watched the captain take a large gulp of his rum.

"Your not going to pass out on me are you?" she inquired.

He looked at her and went back to his rum.

"You're just like your mother," he said taking yet another gulp.

Malaya stood up. "Who was my mother? Who was my father???" she yelled ."Everyone else knows who I am. Why can I?"

The captain dropped his rum and looked at her.

"You really want to know?"

She bit her lip them nodded.

"Your father and mother's relationship was a huge love story," he started." She was at first engaged to this commodore fellow, Norris, Norman; I don't know but had very small pants and this awful powdered wig. Any way your mother was captured by this fellow, Barbosa, and Your father, Will, ran off to save her. That's how he met me. I took him there and helped him save his love. Anyway before I was hanged he told your mother he loved her, I didn't think he had the guts but she did. Anyways so they where about to get married but where going to jail to find me, well Will wanted to save Elizabeth but he had to get this bloody compass to save her. Any way I tried to give up your dad as to pay my debt but apparently I'm worth 100 souls so he won his way off thanks to your grandfather who got him off. While your mother decided she would help me to save Will because she found her way out of jail and things led to another and she had to kiss me to handcuff me to something and your dad saw, and her compass always pointed to me, the compass tells you everything you want in the world, anyways while they where trying to save me Barbosa told her why the compass pointed to me, it was because I sort of represent freedom you know, at first she didn't believe him."

Malaya stumbled. "How did my father trust her again?"

"True love and trust, love.

"Anyway here I am in living flesh so you could see that they did in fact save me, but now no one knows where your parents are, I rescued you from their ship thirteen years ago, when Norman or whatever his name was tried to kill you, all I can say is karma, anyways there's you bed time story. Now go off to bed you stubborn little chica."

Mayla, while walking, had decided as long as she was on this boat that she would be determined to find out more, and to never consume the amount of rum that man did.
