Abby awoke the next day to the gentle rocking of a ship, and slowly the events of the pervious day flooded back into her mind. The memories of everything that happened brought a smile to her face. When the sleep finally vanished from her eyes she realized where she was. She was in her room, the room that was hers before the mutiny had occurred.

She decided that she should pull her weight here on the ship; she didn't need people thinking that she had to have any special treatment because she was the captain's daughter. She stood slowly, still getting used to the rocking of the ship. She found her weapons belt lying on the small dresser located by the door. She looked in the dresser and noticed a few new shirts and pairs of pants placed inside. Jack must have done this she thought. She decided to change her shirt because of the blood on it. She changed her shirt put on her boots and weapons belt and made her way up to the deck.

When she finally reached the deck everyone went silent. All eyes were one her as she made her way to some ropes and started working them with skill and accuracy. She didn't really care that people were watching her, she was used to getting looks from people. Jack who looked at his daughter in pride for her skills yelled to the crew:

"All right ye dogs back ta work."

Once he spoke everyone went back to there business Mr. Gibbs approached Jack to talk to him about there plan to see Will and Elizabeth without getting hung.

"Aye Jack ye already 'xacped the gallows once, and ye want ta risk doin it 'gain, 'specially since ye got Abby ta consider now too." Gibbs stated

"Aye, but it looks like the lass can 'andle herslf." Jake said motioning toward his working daughter.

The conversation continued between Jack and Gibbs, but Jack had his back turned to his daughter so he didn't see one of his newer crew members walking angrily toward Abby.

"That be my job, lass!" The man stated his voice rising with each word. This man, Jacob, was very skilled with a knife and had a temper, so most of the crew stayed out of his way.

With her back still turned to him Abby simply stated "Well it looks like ye weren't doin ya job mate." And with that she started to walk away, until she felt a cold blade pressed to her throat.

"No one does me job lass." He stated with a voice that would make most tremble.

Abby simply pushed the sword away from her throat and turned to face the man. "Ye best not ta be doin that mate." She stated.

"Aye what ye ganna do lass run 'n tell the Cap'n?" he said in a mock fearful voice.

"No I'll just have ta fight ya all by me onsies."

Jacob stood in a fighting stance with his sword drawn.

"No mate I prefer hand-ta-hand fightin." Standing in a fighting stance.

"Aye lass if'n that's what ye prefer." He said smiling, while putting his sword away.

In one quick movement Abby kneed him in the groin, punched him in the nose, and then when he bent over elbowed in the back; which made him fall on the floor.

Once they had both stood in fighting stances everyone went silent, all eyes had been on them; and everyone had been shocked with how someone of such a small size could do something like that. Jack had turned around to see what Gibbs was staring at to see his daughter walking away from Jacob. He then saw Jacob pull at a blade and hurl it at Abby.

"Abby duck!" Jack yelled, but it was to late that knife hit Abby on the left shoulder blade. Everyone stood shocked at what Jacob had done.

Abby just stopped abruptly, her face not showing any emotion, she didn't even cry out in pain. But in one quick movement she pulled the knife out of her shoulder blade, turned around, and hurled it at Jacob. It hit him Right in the heart, killing him instantly.

No one knew what to say or what to think. An 18 year old girl had just killed someone and she still seemed to show not one emotion, not even with her wound.

"Jack I'll be needin some rum and a couple bandages." Abby stated as she went below deck and into her room.

Still no one moved. None of them could truly understand what had happened. Sure they had all killed someone at one point or another, but no one had done it with such calm and grace, and with out showing one bit of emotion.

The first it registered with was Jack. It had shocked him beyond belief that his daughter had killed one of his own crew members. Not that he didn't think that he deserved it, anyone who tried to hurt his daughter deserved to die in his mind. No, the fact that she did it without remorse and without fear is what shocked Jack.

Finally he talked. "Mates keep sailin. Gibbs come wit me ta fix up Abby. Ana throw Jacobs body over board." And with that he and Gibbs went to go check on Abby.

"Aye ye heard the Cap'n get ta work. And someone help me with this pig." Ana yelled. She like everyone else was shocked at what the girl had done, but unlike a lot of the crew she wasn't fearful of the girl just respectful. She gave respect where it was due and this girl had defiantly earned it.
