"AHHH" I yelled throwing everything on my desk onto the floor. I griped the edge of the desk almost breaking it as i couldn't comprehend how angry i was my rage was paused by my wife Margaret coming in.

"Charles Wilson the 3rd may i ask why your yelling at 4 in the morning" she asking closing the door behind her making sure not to wake anyone else

I chuckled a little

"Its your daughter," i said with my back to her

"Elizabeth? What has she done now"

"Shes gone" i say looking over my shoulder and then turning to her
"Your delinquent of a daughter has ran away"

"Well have you looked for her" i looked at this women in disbelief, i walked closer to her and struck her down to the floor

"ARE YOU....mad women of course i have, i had a search party out for her we found her at the docks but lost her in the ally way" i said looking down at her as she held her cheek,

"What will you tell the king" she asked not making eye contact

"Ill talk to him in the morning, for now we go back to bed"

"Take it"

"No"

"Why"

"Its too big"

"Its not that big"

"Its huge and it looks heavy" i said looking at the huge sword Savage held in front of me. He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose

"How about this" he walked over to the middle of the ship and stabbed the sword into the floor board before turning back to me and drawing his sword

"im going to attack you and you have to defend yourself"  i looked at him like he was crazy and chuckled a little.  he has to be out of his left mind, as i was about to respond he started to run at me with his sword ready to stike right before he did i ducked and ran away a little

"ARE YOU CRAZY HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO PROTECT MYSELF" i yelled looking at him crazy

"Grab the sword and fight me" he said sternly. Hes about to kill me i tried to run but he charged at me again. I turned around and ran up the stairs to the poop deck

"HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO GET THE SWORD IF YOU ATTACKING ME!" i yelled at him he smirked before responding

"There are times where pirates have to get them selves out of a sticky situation without there sword. So figure it out" he then started to climb boxes and jump over the railing to chase after me i grabbed a stick to block his attack but he chopped it in half. He then tired to strike again but i ducked and his sword got stuck in the wall, i saw this as my chance to escape so i made a run for the main deck where my sword was when i got to it i tried to lift it out of the deck but it was stuck. I struggled but finally got it unstuck i turned around and blocked an attack he kept forcing his swords down but i managed to push him off of me. I caught my balance and stood tall i could see a smile slowly creep onto his face.

"I guess its not so heavy now huh?" He joked he then charged at me again but i blocked him again

"You want to live on this ship right?" He questioned i nodded, trying to focus on not taking a sword to the face

"Then you need to fight,live, and act  like a pirate understood?" I nodded again

"Perfect" he smiled then moved his sword in a way that made me drop mine

"no more of this princess act, you will be treated as another member of the crew. i will train you in sword fighting and everything you need to know. First things first no more dresses they slow you down, second no crying or complaining about anything unless your dying, understand" i nodded as i was keeping eye contact with the sword pointed at my nose. I slowly took my finger and moved it from my face.

"You have yourself a deal, but where am i to find clothes. This is the only thing i own" i said looking down and my gross old dress

"Follow me"

I followed savage all the way down to the bottom of the ship where they kept extra crates and boxes. The same place i was almost you know, i felt my breathing starting to gett shallow. As that day played back in my head, but then i remembered what captain said about slow deep breaths. As i waited while he looked though different boxes until he pulled out a huge chest when he opened it, it was filled with clothes.

"An old captain of mine always told me to keep womens clothes aboard just in case, find what you like and meet me on deck" and with that said he left, i looked throught the chest there where pants and shirt, corsets, daggers, belts, boots and jewelry. I smiled as i love getting new cothes. Well new to me i guess.

Its been about 20 minutes since i left the girl on the lowest deck. I had started talking to Jackson in the mean time, the sun was starting to set on the horizon causing the sky to turn a beautiful pink purple and orange color.

"How bloody long does it take a women to get dressed" i asked jackson and he shrugged

"Well when a women wants to look good she will take all the time she needs" i heard her voice say behind me i rolled my eyes as i turned around to finally see her outfit. She wore thigh high boots with tight black pants that had a drawing of the sun on side of her right butt cheek, she had a brown corset, and around the waist was a belt that held her sword and a red scarf. Under her corset was a cream colored shirt that was too big so the sleeves fell off the shoulder and revealed alot of cleavage up top. Around her neck was gold necklaces on her fingers were gold rings and she wore gold hoops on her ears. Her hair was out of that high ponytail and was down around her face. She looked good, the sun hit her brown skin so perfectly it made her glow it made her look golden. I guess i was staring too long because jackson hit me in my back.

"Captain the lady asked you a question" he said

"Huh? What did you say" i asked her again

"I asked how do i look" she smiled looking confident in her outfit
'I should tell her she looks nice'

"You look a mess but it will do for now, now come on its time to train more" i watched as  smile turned into a glare of hate she did look......okay
