The Princess And The Vampirate

Chapter Sixteen

A week passed by and I was pushed more into my studies of the rapier. It was very tiring. Wake up, eat, train, eat again, study pirates, eat then sleep. Jack had to practically carry me to my bed at night. That's all I ever did. But now at lunch the Captain said something new...

"There is a ship on the horizon. We are going to attack and steal all that they have. I want a clean fight, no killing unless absolutely necessary. Now go get preparations ready." Jack grabbed my hand and dragged me to my room.

When we got there he started handing me stuff to put on. He handed me leather chest plate and shoulder pads that I could move freely in. I put on a dark blue shirt, black stretchy jeans, a leather chest plate and leather gauntlets. I put my hair up and put my sheath into my belt with my rapier inside. I hid my small dagger in my left gauntlet. I also put my revolver on my belt. I hated it but I was forced to wear it just in case by orders of the Captain and Jack. I wrapped my hands in leather bands to protect them for when I use my fist. When I was done I walked out and Jack's jaw dropped. His cheeks became dusted with a light pink. I laughed and he dropped his gaze. His blush darkened and he started to pull me out the door down the hall to his room.

When we arrived I just laid down on the bed as Jack got his clothes to change. He went into the bathroom. I looked around his room. It was neat and clean. The bed was made but I jumped on it anyway.

He came out and I almost instantly hid my face in a pillow. I was a blushing mess and when Jack prided the pillow from my face I could feel the heat coming off of it. He was HOT. "Like what you see Claire?" I could see his muscles through his shirt and even his chest plate.

"SHUT UP!!!" I glared at him and instantly regretted it. Jack smirked then launched himself at me, pinning me to the bed and started to tickle my stomach. "Stop it!" I screeched.

"Not until you say I am a better fighter than you and that I am the most awesome person on this ship."

"NEVER!!!"

"Okay then." He tickled me harder.

"FINE, you are a better fighter and you are the most awesomeness person on this ship." He stopped I shoved him off of me and ran out of the room. I heard Jack follow. I have grown faster in these last couple of weeks but not as fast as a vampirate. I've started to call them that.

When I reached the upper deck I drew my sword and turned to Jack. He just barely blocked my sword. Now we were in a fight. I got the upper hand and he fell. I grabbed his sword and hold both of them at his neck. I bended down and looked him in the eye "I will always be a better fighter and I will ALWAYS be the most awesome person every on this ship." He smiled and I helped him up. I heard clapping and I turned to see most of the crew laughing and smiling at me and Jack. Jack them smiled to me and pulled me into a sweet kiss. I blushed a dark red. I heard Jack chuckle and the crew do wolf whistles and laugh at me. I feel like I belong here. I thought I would be ready for tomorrow but, I was DEAD WRONG.
