TRIGGER WARNING

I groaned as I mopped the deck for the 10th time in 2 weeks the men had gotten drunk the night before and trashed the place so of course, I'm the one who has to clean their mess, its been about a week since I've been one this ship and I have had half a mind to not jump over bored myself. I mean besides cleaning up after what feels like 30 toddlers its not that bad, the food is bearable

Only because i make it

But I am sleeping on the floor after the captain kicked me out i went back to the empty jail cell and slept there. Look at the bright side of it, i have my own room even though i am sleeping on the cold hard floor. when I was finished mopping the main deck I went below to the gally to mop there too, when I entered to men were there talking I chose to ignore them and go about my business, unfortunately, this is only a one-sided thing as the men love to mess with me, many have tried to flirt with me while others throw sexist and borderline racist remarks at me. lucky for me I'm used to this kind of abuse from my father so I just ignore most of it.

"OYE wench where's breakfast I'm hungry," one man said the other laughed

"yeh after you finish that why don't you come work on me for a little," he said i gagged and turned my back to them both, i fixed the tables and did the little dishes that were in the bucket they call a sink, after everything in the gally was looking clean i made my way down one more deck this is where they kept all the supplies and loot they took from passing ships, oh yeh i also had the pleasure of cleaning up after the plundered a small cargo ship that happened to be passing by.  It was quite literally the worst, the men would track blood and guts across the decks then struggle to make food and make a mess in the process. As I was organizing supplies I heard something fall behind me when i turned around it was one of the guys from earlier specifically the one that wanted me to touch him. i rolled my eyes and went to walk past him but he grabbed my arm and pushed me against the wall

"what the hell get off me" i demanded but he didn't listen i tried to wiggle out of his grip but he just gripped me harder and pushed me against the wall i cried out in pain and he put his hand over my mouth.

"shut the hell up wench" i kept screaming and trying the get out of his hands but nothing worked then i felt his lips on mine all i could taste was alcohol and he smelt even worse, i continued to struggle but nothing worked he stopped kissing me and i gasped for air, he put his hand over my mouth to keep me quiet as he sloppily sucked on my neck, he then forcefully threw me into some creates causing me to hit my arm and back hard. I screamed out in pain the guy than guy on top of me forcing me onto my back

"HELP SOMEONE HE-" i was cut off by him slapping me

"shut the hell up and take it" he said to me i started to scream more and kick i ended up kicking him in balls he doubled over in pain i took this as my chance to run i got up i made it halfway up the stairs before he grabbed my ankle and pulled me back down causing me to hit my chin on the stairs he dragged me down that stairs i started to fight him off more

"HELP ME SOMEONE PLEASE" i tried to kick him off one more time but he caught my foot and pinned me down before i could scream again i saw his fist pull back before he knocked me out cold.

i groaned and gripped my head at the skull breaking headache i had. as i opened my eyes it took a minute for my eyes to adjust to the room but when they did i noticed i was in the jail cell i looked around to see that i was in a bedroom i looked down to see my clotheshad changed i was no longer in that dress. Instead i was wearing a oversized shirt, i tired to sit up but the brusies on my body and my headache quickly stopped me just then captain walked into the room

"good to see that you're up, how ya feelin" he said in a soft tone which kinda caught me off guard i didn't say anything tho i didn't know what to say i then turned my attention to his clothes they were covered in blood but it didn't look like his blood i looked back up at him

"those guys won't be bothering you anymore the sharks had more fun with them then i did" i still just looked at him that was until I started crying I buried my face in my hands and broke down again i sat up despite the pain over my body telling me not to. My body started to shake and the air got thin i gripped my hair and screamed crying. i cired a few more minutes before trying to focus on my breath but everytime i tired it felt like it got harder

"Oye" i looked at him "slow. Deep. Breaths" i looked at him confused and he could tell "take. Slow. Deep. Breaths" i listened and did as he said and i started to regain my breath

"thank you" i said softly

"your welcome, starting tomorrow you won't be cleaning anymore" i looked at confused "I realize that having a women aboard a ship of 30- well 28 men isn't a good idea and since a can't throw ya overboard I'm going to train you to be a pirate and you will join the crew on the ship so get some rest we start bright and early tomorrow" and with that said he left out of the room for the day the only other time he came back was to give me food, he was actually really sweet towards me i think it was probably bc i was almost raped. But when night fell i expected him to kick me out of his bed and back to my cell. However, he gave me a choice of staying in his room for the night or if i was comfortable go back to my cell.
