The Pirate Queen

Chapter Three

Suddenly I feel awkward as it seems that most of the people around are staring at me and I wish I could just disappear.

"Elias this is Thea and we need to get her some clothes to blend in."

"Don't tell me you found yourself a wench."

"No Elias Thea is far from being a wench and you know how I feel about them."

"Of course please come in, I will close up for a bit." The man nods to Wesley who then guides me through the door and into the house. A minute later we are joined by Elias who closes the door behind him. "So what is the problem and how can I help?" He comes to stand in front of the two of us.

"Thea is not from here, she is from some other world or something of the sort I am going to try and help her figure out how to get home but with what she is wearing she sticks out. In order to not draw attention to us, we need a change of clothes for her, but she won't wear a dress."

"Well, I think I have the perfect thing for her." He walks over to a chest and digs through it for a minute before pulling out a pile of clothes. "Here. These look to be about your size." He places them in my hand then ushers me into a room to change. I begin to slip out of my clothes and into the new ones which surprisingly fit perfectly. 

The pants were a thicker black material almost like leather and the shirt was a loose off-the-shoulder tan-colored blouse. Over the blouse was some type of what I assume to be a corset that at the moment was actually comfortable. To finish off the outfit there were knee-high boots with a good 2-inch heel. 

I take a minute to strap the sword back around my waist before I step out of the room. As I step back into the main room the conversation that Wesley and Elias were having stops and they turn to face me.

"So how do I look?" The two men share a look before looking back at me.

"You look like a pirate now," Wesley says with a smile as he looks me over.

"I agree but something is missing though." Elias goes back to the chest and rummages around for a minute until he pulls out a long black coat similar to the one that Wesley is sporting. I slip it on and like everything else it fits perfectly. "There perfect don't you think Wesely."

"It's amazing Elias, how much do you need?"

"I would normally say 50 but for my best customer when you get your hands on more of that magic ink bring it to me I just sold the last of it."

"Of course Elias, thank you for your help."

"Anytime, And Thea, I will keep your clothes safe until you are ready to go home."

"Thank you so much, Elias," Wesley says goodbye to Elias and we head back out the door and begin walking down the street to our next destination.

"How is it that he knew these clothes would fit me?"

"Some say that he makes magic clothes that change their size to fit the person who wears it, but others say he is a bit perverted when it comes to women's measurements."

"What do you believe it is."

"Well he doesn't seem to be the type to use magic and he has been known to take many women into bed with him, some say that's how he gets his clothes but I know it's not true."

"So you decide to take me to a pervert to get new clothes and let me leave my old clothes there. Well, at least we are not in my time where he could have recorded me changing. And you are very lucky he didn't try to do anything to me because you did arm me."

"Yes I did but I know he wouldn't do anything to you because you were there with me so he knows you are under my protection." Wesley stops walking causing me to stop as well. "I told you I don't kill but that doesn't mean I am not a feared pirate. I have done some things I am not proud of to survive and that gained me a reputation."
