Pirate Journey's

A familiar encounter

We've been out at sea for quite sometime, a few days to be spot on. I was up on the main deck steering the ship, it was quite challenging at first but I got the hang of it after a few practices.

"Miss Maddie." One of the crew members said, I turned to my right to see the crew member standing up right. Aboard this ship the men found out that I was a girl, that was fine as long as they won't tell anyone while we landed and kept it to themselves, they didn't fuss over it thankfully.

"Oui, what is it?" I ask averting my eyes to the front of the ship once again,

"It's my shift, you go rest in Captain's quarters." He said moving towards the wheel taking it from me. I nodded heading down the main deck towards the Captain's quarters. As I entered I scanned the room, Matthew was studying the maps and the coordinates written on the side and Lovino was sharpening some weaponary. He reminds me of tío Toni, always sharpening his axe and making sure all his weaponary worked perfectly and was still in good condition. Walking towards the desk she placed both hands on the side of the map svanning the mapand pin-pointing where the we meant to dock.
"Maddie, pass me your-a twin blades." I turned to Lovino unsheathing both swords giving him my right one, the one with the wolf engraving first. "It's a beauty. Let me-a do some polishing." I smiled thanking him giving him both swords and their leather scabbards along with the pistol. Walking back to the map where Matt now was.

"We should be there soo-" He was interrupted by men yelling and a loud splash, the ship rocking roughly. "Shit! What was that?" He asked taking his sword and pistol quickly wrapping around his belt, Lovino passing me my cutlass since my twin blades were bekng under maintenance. Hiding my long hair under my hat, we moved through the door.

"Men! What the hell is goi-" Another splash erupted the ship once again shaking roughly, loosing my balance slightly.

"Tis the British!"

"The British! Shit shit shit!" I held my cutlass clutching my pistol in its sheath. "Men! Ready the flasks, arrange some men to go down and ready the canon's! We aren't going down without a fight! Oui!"

"Oui!" They all yelled, Matthew had rushed up to the main deck doing his best to stay on course avoiding the canon balls, Lovino going down to check on the men and helping ready the canon's, I stayed on the deck directing order's and such towards the men.

And at last, the British ship near's us. "Ahh. . Hello there, you must be new to this. Who's the captain? I'd like to introduce myself." A man with blonde hair, dark green emerald eyes, black and torn coat with a golden rim, his hat in the same condition. I stayed behind the men, my brother still at the wheel, looking down at us his hand readied on his pistol. I exchanged glances with him many times. "Must I repeat myself? Where is the ca-"

"Which one are you after?" My brother decided to speak up, his face showed no fear.

"It would be rather pleasant if you were to make this quick, British. We're on a tight schedule, and need no disruptions." I spoke, I was quite hesitant but I didn't show it, this was no time to do so anyways. The men making way for me to walk through, though they stayed close, their hnds readied on their weaponary. The ship infront of me was rather large, and the captain was. . He was somewhat familiar.

"Ahh, hello there. You may know me as the most feared pirate of the seven seas." I gave a chuckle alongside the crew behind me which ticked him off for sure. "Arthur Kirkland, and you the captain?"

"Which one? We have three captains Arthur." I smirked as I saw Lovino join me on deck my brother as well.

"Three? Why, you must be weak the-"

"James Williams," My brother spoke quickly, to which Lovino then added,

"Flavio Vargas,"

"Alex Williams." I spoke bluntly,  Alex was the first name that came to mind, since I hadn't thought of making up a name till now.
