The boat sways under the feet of men wishing to join the crew. No one pays any attention to the girl with auburn hair, the men laughing at the thought of a women wanting to join.
She just smiles at their insults the tapping of boots can be heard and a man stands at the top of the stairs looking down at all the men.
"So, you wish to join the crew do you?" He asks men cheer out at the words of the man but the girl smiles staying silent.
"We need good fighters, so you'll be asked to fight for a spot." The man says eyes gleaming with mischief, no one catches it they don't care.
"I can fight." The girl says smiling men scoff and start volunteering as well if only to drown out the girl.
The man laughs "the girl and you will fight." He says pointing to the biggest man.
"You sure about this little girl?" The man asks.
The girl trembles her lip but nods taking out her sword when they start the girl is dancing with her sword an easy win for the man turned out to be an easy loss.
"You have no balance." The girl spits. "You have nothing but burly strength and that will not do any good on my crew."
The girls eyes gleam with fire as the man tosses her, her captains hat. "Your the captain?" The burly man asks eyes wide.
"Get off my damm ship." She snaps pointing at a handful of men from the line. When five men are left she waves her hand to her second in command to continue even though they both know they'll all make it.
She jumps down off her prized possession ship and stalks though the docks spinning around men with heavy loads of fish.
"They have no respect for you, treasure." I spin around to find those god damm silver eyes staring at me.
My only response is a growl. "Don't be like that treasure, we may be rivals but I have enough conman sense to know you're a force to be reckoned with."
"Stop calling me treasure." I snap.
"No can do, you are my personal treasure and it annoys you."
"Asshole."
A pirate legend that's what she was she was the thing every mother warned their children to avoid she was the monster under the bed and even worse no one knew the most vicious pirate captain was a women.
No one except her crew and her annoying ass enemy. Everyone laughed at her when she said she was gonna be a pirate no one believed her no one thought she could do it.
She did it she became more that just a pirate she became the damm best pirate there was and everyone laughed in her face when they met the girl claiming to be a pirate they laughed until they realized their fatal mistake.
She was the best and she was going after the hardest treasure yet. No one has succeeded yet and she was determined to be the first and only one to get it.
————
The girl with auburn hair went after her own treasure despite her enemies pleas with her not to, she didn't listen.
He warned her it wasn't worth it, he pleaded her not to do it alone begged her to reconsider.
She was foolish to believe he was keeping her from the treasure to get it himself she limped into her apartment gripping the doorframe to keep from falling over. Blood dripping down her body, and hair mangled from the fight she'd put up.
Her eyes meet those god dammed silver ones leaning against the wall from where she gripped the frame.
"You we're right." She whispered to him.
"Of course I was treasure." The smirk on his face blinding the entire damm room.
She took another step but she couldn't stay upright she nearly collapsed if it weren't for those arms wrapped around her trembling body.
"Come to finish the job? Want to kill me? Go ahead do it I've already faced enough pain in my life just ducking kill me." She got out tears welling in her eyes.
The man frowned "no treasure, I can't kill you never."
"Just fucking admit you hate me!" She yelled with whatever strength she had left.
"I can't." He breathed.
"DO IT!" She pleaded it would make it so much easier if he'd just admit it.
The man sighed "I can't lie to you treasure, now please don't die on me today." He lifted her body up easily sitting her on her sink to bandage up every wound on her body.
"I hate you." She sobbed.
"I know treasure." He said wiping away the tears from her face.
"Tell me you hate me." She begged to him.
"I can't." He whispered laying his forehead on hers lightly kissing her nose. "I love you treasure."
She looked at him all that fire depleted within her eyes she sucked in a breath "I hate you." She tried to convince herself.
He laughed "your such a bad liar treasure."
"Why do you call me treasure?" She asked him.
"Because your the best treasure a pirate could ever ask for, because you've always been the prize I've searched for my entire life, because no matter what you threw at me I'll always love you because I'm addicted to you just like any pirate would be with his treasure. You will always be my treasure." He opened his eyes looking into hers and smiled "X marks the spot for treasure and anywhere you are is the X treasure."
She broke then kissing his soft mouth forcefully "I love you." She admitted.
"I know." He said.
