The pirate(temporarily on hold)

Chapter 2 leaving port

Okay here we gooooo (Peter Pan reference lol ).

*helm is the basically the steering wheel to a ship (had to look it up cause I wasn't sure)

Anastasia's POV

My heart raced as I pulled all my clothes into an old sack I has found.I had followed the men earlier to see where their ship was and had then ran back to my "home".I finished packing and head towards the ship.

The closer I get the faster my heart pounded.I examined it looking for a way to get on with out being noticed.I saw a rope,one of many tying the ship to the dock.It was close enough that I would be able to jump in through the cannon hole.I inched towards the hole, my hands burning from the scratchy rope.

When I was close enough I swung myself into the hole.Once inside I looked for a place to hide.I found a barrel with some dried biscuits in it that was hidden towards the back.I decide it would have to do plus there was food so it was overall a win.I settled down to fall asleep it was going to be a long journey.

Xavier's POV (aka the pirate)

"JAKE"I yelled for my first mate."Yes captain?"Jake ran up the stairs and came to a halt at my side."Did you make sure everything's in order?"I asked looking him in the eye."Aye captain I believe so"Jake said his forehead crinkling in thought.

"You believe so?How about we make that you know so instead of believe so, Jake.I won't have anything out of order.We don't want to risk anyone's life."I said anxiety growing in my stomach.

We'd been here too long we needed to leave as soon as possible.I wouldn't put my men-or my ship-at risk just because we were in a hurry.Everything had to be in order no loose ropes.As jake check the ship I thought of the lass that had rejected me.How could she just roll her eyes at me?No woman could withstand my charms!!The thought of it made my blood boil.If I ever saw her again she would pay.

Jake came sprinting up the steps again "Everything's in order captain"He said saluting me."Very good.Hoist the sails"I ordered. Jake echoed my command and the crew scrambled to compleat their orders.The sails were hoisted and we began to sail away from port.I didn't relax until we were far from port.

After two hours of sailing I handed the helm(see AN @ top)over to Jake.I went to my cabin.I took off my coat and removed my weapons.I place one pistol under my pillow then flopped into my bed.I closed my eyes and soon fell fast asleep.

I dreamt about the lass for the tavern.In my dream the lass much healthier looking and she was shouting at me.I couldn't understand her,it was as if i was in a trance the whole world muffled.I heard a beautiful voice coming from the water.I went to the side of the ship and looked down at the dark water.There was a beautiful woman swimming in the water, beckoning for me to join her.

The lasses muffled voice shouted behind me but I ignored her.I hauled myself up preparing to jump into the water.Before I could I was grabbed from behind and the scenery changed.Now I was on a beach the breeze blowing against my skin.

I looked behind me to again see the lass.She was wearing a flowing white dress.Her dark hair blowing around her like daggers.She smiled at me and motioned me to follow her.She started to walk into the jungle that was ahead of us.

I walked after her.I struggled to keep sight of her.She walked on ahead never stopping to make sure I was following.She walked behind a massive tree covered in moss.I ran to the tree.I circled the tree but there was no sight of her.

I looked around,desperate to find the lass for some unknown reason.I ran till I came to the mouth of a cave.I turned around and there was the lass.I blinked and she was gone.I spun around to see her in the cave I stumbled towards her.She began walking again this time turning back to me every now and then,each time motioning me to follow her.

We wandered till we came to a glowing pond.The lass stopped and I walked up to her.She stared at the pond then looked at me."Why am I dreaming about you?What do you want me to do?"I asked her.

She said nothing only motioned towards the glowing pond.I assumed she wanted me to look into the pond so I knelt down at the edge.I stared at it not seeing anything at first,but the an image started to appear.It was a map.It was somewhere in the Caribbean sea.Then images of scenery began flashing in the pond.

I leaned towards the surface trying to look at the images more closely.There was an island,a beach,a jungle, and a temple.The last image i saw was a door.It was metal different piece curving into a strange design.I saw myself tracing certain parts of the design with my finger.With my touch the door shifted melting into the wall.Before I could see what as behind the door I fell into the pond and woke up from my dream.

Why had I dreamt of the lass?I had only met her once.Surely she hadn't left that big of an impression on me.Why had she been leading me,showing me the pond?Why had I seen those images?
I shook my head trying to forget the strange dream.

I heard shouting coming from the deck.I threw on my coat and grabbed my pistols.I ran out expecting a fight.I ran out to see my men struggling to hold onto a girl.I couldn't see her face because herb air hung in her face and she was thrashing around violently.

"What's this about men?Who is this girl and why is she on my ship!?!?"I shouted."Shes a stowaway Captain.Found 'er hidin in one of the one o' the barrels we did."One of my men responded."Did any one think to ask her who she is?"I said using my forefinger and thumb to rub the bridge of my nose.

"We woulda Captain but she been screamin an' thrashin around ever since we found 'er"Said another.I walked towards my men who struggled to hold onto the thrashing girl.

"Who are you and why the hell are you on my ship?"I yelled as I took a commanding stance.The girl froze and my men grasped her arms firmly.She slowly looked up,Her black hair falling away from her face.It was the lass from the tavern!She had snuck into my ship the bitch!"YOU!"I roared,My eyes widening in surprise then anger.

At that moment the lass broke one arm free from my men,Elbowed him in the face,then punched the other one and grabbed his sword.
