Lady Ano

Chapter 5

It was early the next morning when Koleniko came to Coley's door.

"Rise and shine…" he mumbled sleepily. "We'll be arriving at this mysterious ship in the next few days and Captain want the ship more… just more." There was a slight pause. "Coley?" he asked, opening the door. When he opened it up she was not in there. All her things were gone. He shrugged. She must already have gotten up.

When Koleniko arrived out on deck he didn't see her. He was beginning to worry. He walked up to Greenbeard at the helm.

"Have you seen Coley?" he asked, concern evident in his voice. Greenbeard looked at him and shook his head no.

Koleniko searched the ship or an hour before he gave up to work. He knew if he kept just running around like this the crew would figure out what was bothering him. He wasn't about to give up his reputation now. It was near noon when Clanker approached Koleniko.

"Have you seen Coley?" he asked him. Koleniko said no. This disturbed both of them.

"And what if he had lied!" Davy Jones roared in fury at Coley. She stood cowered before him, up against a wall in his cabin. She wish he hadn't called her here early this morning. She had gotten a small lecture before he disappeared on deck to give orders. She sat in his cabin alone for hours before he returned in a rage. Davy paced in front of her now. "If you lied about what that man told you I will have your head between my claw…" he murmured to himself, but that didn't mean Coley didn't hear. She got up the courage to talk to him.

"What is it on that ship you want so badly?" She squeaked. He stopped and looked at her.

"On that ship, the Lady Amelia, is a possession that I happen to want back. Coley thought about this. She knew he had his heart back. She had heard tales from her father about how the East India trading Company had taken it and he had gotten it back. Davy approached her, causing her to press her back into the wall hard to try and get as far form him as she could. He bent to her height, his face a foot from hers. She was glad he wasn't trying to touch her.

"You shall remain in here until I have received my prize. Should it not be on that ship you shall be very, very sorry for saving that man's life." He paused before continuing. "Let's make this interesting, shall we?" he said in a haunting tone. "If it is on that ship, I will do everything in my power to make sure you do not become like the rest of my damned crew," He told her. Coley nodded quickly a few times. And with that he left the cabin, leaving her to sink down into a curled up ball and sob softly. She thought it was unfair. If it wasn't on that ship it wasn't her fault. It was that man she saved. She prayed to all the gods she could think of that what ever he wanted was on that ship.

Davy did not return to his cabin the rest of the day. She decided to find somewhere to sleep because it was getting late. She found an unused bed in a corner. She gently removed the top sheet. That sheet was gray with all the dust that had collected on it. Under that top comforter were several layers of pure white, untouched sheets. She took the case off the pillow, which also had dust on it, and used an uncased pillow. She found the bed larger than a normal one, and actually quite comfortable. Once she had removed her boots and a few uncomfortable trinkets here and there, she crawled under the covers. She fell into a fitful sleep quicker than she would have thought possible under the circumstances. She wondered what morning would bring.

The next morning she woke well after the sun had come up. She rubbed her eyes and fixed her hair a bit. She got up and put her boots on, cutting her foot on a piece of sea life sticking up from between the wooden planks. She walked around the cabin a few times and explored various things. She picked up some stuff and gently put it back. He never said I couldn't touch anything, she told herself. She went to his organ and fingered the keys, careful not to press down too hard. She noticed above the keys there was a figure of an angel bound by chains. She looked like she was trying to fly away, but the bonds were holding her to the ground. She looked down to the watery keys and sighed. This place was so gloomy. She wished she could go home to her old life, no matter how awful it had been. She then decided this ship was actually better than her old life… Here she wouldn't have to marry some man forty years older than her.

Next she saw the small music box. She had heard stories of this too. Given to him by the goddess Calypso… A part of her felt pity for this octopus man. But another hated him with a passion. And another part… She wasn't sure what the other part was. No mater how terrified she was of him, a part of her still felt…something for him. She decided to not think about that. Davy Jones was an awful man.

After a couple of hours of boredom Maccus entered the cabin.

"Be ready for battle, when you are decent come on deck." He instructed. Coley nodded. She went to the bed, where he belongings were, and clipped them on in various places. Coley was glad she would get to fight. It was a good outlet for her anger.

Once out of the cabin she had only gone a few steps before Koleniko and Clanker came up to her. Had it not been the circumstances they may have hugged her.

"Are you okay!" Clanker exclaimed, looking concerned. She smiled that these two fish people could feel concern for her.

"I'm fine." She said, trying to sound reassuring.

"Did he…" Koleniko began, but paused. "Did he touch you at all?" He finished. Coley looked confused.

"No, he actually didn't do anything…it was quite boring." Once both the men realized she was okay, they led her onto the main deck where most of the crew had gathered. Off the starboard bow these was a ship slowly growing on the horizon. We're gaining on the Lady Ameliashe thought. She mentally prepared herself for the fight. Crash came up to her and put his hand on her shoulder.

"You'll be fine. You're a good fighter. When we first fought you I couldn't believe you were a girl," he told her, trying to sound kind. She nodded. "Maybe you could have gone a bit easier on the man-handling," She replied, remembering the harsh way he had handled her. The sea life that was his mouth forbade him from smiling, but Coley thought he was smiling under all of it.

"Maybe," he responded simply.
