The Man // Khal Drogo (1)

2. Don't Jump

The Lakes / Viserys Targaryen / Corlys Velaryon out now

Oceana was a moon away from turning 13 when she was shipped off. What a shitty name day gift. Sandor and Gregor had been at the capital but once Oceana sent the raven sandor came riding back.

"You cant do this!" Sandor demanded

"I dont know what to do with a daughter!" Korge had never been all that fond of his children but a girl? What was he to do with a girl? They were to be shipped off and sold. Make a profit.

"Sandor!" Oceana begged.

"Some cunt in pentos wants a bride." Korge went on.

"I will bring O with me." Sandor told him. "She can stay at the capital and I can find her a match closer to home." Korge scoffed

"Father please!" Oceana begged clinging to sandor.

"Too fucking late." Korge told them. "Get back to the capital." He hissed at sandor. "And you get your ass to the docks."

"Sandor..." Oceana whimpered.

"Now Oceana!"

"Sandor dont let him do this!" Oceana cried out.

"Father please. I can take her in. She can be my responsibility." Sandor agreed. Oceana nodded eagerly. "I can take care of her. Dont send her away. Please. I can keep her safe I will protect her. Keep her fed and clothed a roof over her head and when shes older I can find her a match. Closer to home."

"I already agreed and they are paying a plentiful amount for Oceana." Korge corrected.

"Father no!" Oceana sobbed out. "Please! Please dont do this!"

"Its too fucking late. Move it."

"I love you." Oceana whispered clinging to sandor.

"I will get you back." Sandor promised. "Be brave for me."

"I'll try." Oceana agreed.

"I love you. This isnt goodbye." Sandor assured her. She nodded into him and he heard her teeth chattering with nerves.

Oceana gripped her fist tight nervous eyes stared back at sandor as she was shoved onto the boat. She was terrified. Couldnt their father see that? Couldnt he see she was just a little girl she didnt want a man she wanted to play with the horses and dogs at the kennel. She was a good rider and the animals loved her.

Oceana no surprise to anyone loved the ocean.

After a week on the waters she was getting more content and yet more agitated that she would reach her destination.

"You alright little lady?"

"No." Oceana answered honestly as she stared out over the sea.

"Dont jump."

"Where would I go?" Oceana countered. "To far out to swim to shore."

"Tortugas not far."

"Never heard of it." Oceana offered.

"Not a good place for proper little ladies." He agreed.

"Who said im proper?" Oceana countered. He hummed a laugh. "Im Oceana Clegane." She declared

"Yeah I know who you are."

"And who are you?" Oceana countered.

"Jack Sparrow. Im going to be captain one day. Of this fine vessel." He declared.

"Im going to be a bride of a strange man in a new land. Sold and raped until the day I die." Oceana informed him.

"Im sorry kid."

"Dont be sorry." Oceana corrected. "Save me."

"Its not my call." Jack reminded her.

"When are you becoming captain?" Oceana questioned staring out over the depths.

"Not before we meet your destination" Jack remarked and Oceana saw sadness in his eyes. "I would let you stay if I was in charge." Jack added.

"If I ever need a ride home and you're captain... will you come and save me?" Oceana rasped and Jack saw a tear slip from her cheek and fall down into the waters below.

"When Im captain." Jack agreed. "I'll come back to pentos. I'll come get you. Save you." He agreed.

"I know you are lying." Oceana remarked as she headed down to the hammock below deck. "But thank you for saying it." Jack watched her go hopelessly.

"This isnt where the old fart wanted her dropped." Jack corrected as they neared the shores. "We are too far south."

"I know."

"Jack?" Oceana questioned hesitantly.

"What do you mean you know?" Jack countered.

"Whos the captain?" Jack opened his mouth but Barbosa kept going. "Me! At the last dock I got word that the pits are looking for a girl."

"The pits!" Oceana shouted. She looked to see them nearing slavers bay. "No no no!" Oceana begged.

"They going to make her fight?" Jack questioned

"They paid more than her old man did." Barbosa agreed.

"The pits are to the death!" Oceana begged clinging to Jack. "I wont win. Im not that good. Im going to die."

"You arent fighting." Barbosa corrected as the men came up. Barbosas crew had to drag Oceana from the ship. She fought them every step but she small compared to her elder brothers.

"You sold her to a pleasure house." Jack realized.

"NO!" Oceana begged. "I would rather die! Put me in the fucking pits!"

"They are going to pass her around the winners." Barbosa corrected with a wicked smile.

"Jack Jack Jack!" Oceana begged. "You have to help me you have to save me dont let them!" She shouted.

"One move." Barbosa countered grabbing Jacks arm. "And you are off my crew."

"Jack please!" Oceana sobbed out.

"Shes just a kid." Jack declared.

"Jack!"

"She's just a kid!" Jack begged but Barbosa smiled greedily as he took the coin.

"Jack! Tell Sandor- Tell Sandor-" Oceana sobbed out as she was dragged away.
