Daddy Barbosa (Part 35)

"Dad, you're so embarrassing, what would mum say?" You yelled while you got dragged from the shore onto the large wooden boat.

"Mums dead, Jasmine. Now get your bum on this ship now." He dropped your bags onto the desk on purpose so you quickly grabbed them.

"Don't drop my things, dad! What do you want me to do here anyway? I'm only a girl."

"You need to man the ship when me and the boys are off being brave fighters."

You sighed. "Ok. If I must."

That afternoon, Captain Barbossa set sail north on the Black Pearl. You stayed in his captains quarters most of the day as some of the crew made you feel uncomfortable, mainly Pintel and Ragetti. They were not only the dumbest, but also the grossest.

"Jasmine, why not help Pintel wash the floors below deck?" Barbossa told her.

"Ew no, make me work with anyone but him, dad."

That night when everyone was either in bed chatting or asleep you decided to leave your fathers office and sit on deck and watch the stars in the moonlight. You brought your pillow and blanket out with you. You propped the pillow up against the bottom of the large wooden pole that held up one of the sails and covered yourself with your pink blanket. You looked out at sea and stared at the reflection of the moon on the water.

While you were looking out you noticed that you could hear a noise. It was a little knocking noise that sounded as if someone was hitting something against the bottom of the boat. You crawled forward and looked down, nothing was there, only water. You then turned around and checked the other side of the boat, still only water was surrounding it. You shrugged and sat back down.

To the left of you, near the back of the ship behind Barbossa's office was where the noise was actually coming from.  Without you seeing, 2 male pirates hopped onto the boat and tiptoed around and into your fathers quarters.

"This must be it!" One said.

"You sure, Jack?" The younger of the two men asked.

"Yes, I've been here plenty of times before. I'll just light this and then-"

"Busted!" Your father said then pointed his gun.

Jack lit some of the candles then defended himself and his friend. "Barbossa, it's a pleasure as always... what brings you here?"

"Here? This is my ship, Jack. Get off it."

"Noooo, the Pearl is mine. Init, Will?"

"Umm yeahhh." Will said.

Barbossa looked to your bed then spotted you missing. "The girl, where is she?"

"What girl?" Jack asked. "I ain't see no girl on this ship. And since when did you invite women onto your boats Hector?"

"She's special.... where is she? You must have smuggled her away to get me to give you this boat back- well it won't work, dear Jackie. Hand her over!"

"We dunno what you're talking about, maybe you ate a bad apple and became delirious or something-"

"Dad?" You called out. Jack and Will turned to face the door.

"Dad?" Jack repeated then looked back at his enemy. "You have a kid?"

"Dad? Who are these?"

"Very bad-"

"Very good men, young lady, and you are?" Jack interrupted.
