Pirates of the Caribbean - Angelica's childhood [ONE SHOT]

ONE SHOT CHAPTER

Before I start my one shot story I just want to tell that this is my first time I'm writing an English story so it's probably not the best story you have ever read. English is not my native language so it wasn't easy for me to write it. I hope you'll understand me.😁

Disclaimer : I do not own anything associated to Pirates of the Caribbean.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

A child, still newborn, was taken by his father when its mom died in labour. It was a girl. She was crying until, exhausted, she fell asleep. Her father left her in the closest Spanish convent after her birth. He didn’t want to have the burden of a child. He thought that his business was more important than his own daughter, so he abandoned her there. She would be safer there. He told the nuns to persuade her that her father was a good man and a great sailor, and not the most infamous and dangerous pirate of the seven seas, until she would be mature enough to understand. The nuns respected his wish and took the little child from his hug. He informed them that the girl’s name was Angelica Teach and that he was Edward “Blackbeard” Teach.

Angelica, naughty enough, was growing up. She always got in trouble but she really believed in God. Every single night prayed to Him to forgive her for her bad behaviour. She felt bad she didn’t do everything she was supposed to, but she couldn’t help it. It was in her blood to be cunning and naughty but still she was very sensitive and had a very good heart. She helped the poor women who came to the convent to repent for their sins but she always sneaked out of her duties just to practice fencing. Although she practiced alone with a wood-made sword she had made, she imagined that she had an opponent. She wanted so bad to be like her father. That gave her confidence to continue practicing. She had a pure talent for it, but she never told the nuns about it. Her talent shouldn’t be revealed, otherwise she would be punished! The rules in the convent were so strict that if they were disobeyed the punishment would be something that no one would like to experience.

Through the years the little girl became a young woman. She was nineteen and would finally be able to take her vows and become a complete nun. This is what she thought. However, everything would change. One night was brushing her hair sitting on the chair beside the only window her room had. She was staring at the small lights from the small city down the hill when screams interrupted her. Immediately, she stood up and opened the door to see what was happening. She saw a man, not much older than her, hiding from the angry nuns who yelled in Spanish! It was obvious that he had no idea of what they were saying. She stepped quietly back to her room but the floor cracked and the stranger started approaching her with big steps. He got in the small room and closed the door behind him with relief. She froze from fear. She was staring at him without knowing what to do. Suddenly, she came up with an idea! In the blink of an eye she took the wooden sword and turned it toward the man’s throat. He raised his hands to show that he didn’t want to harm her.

“Who are you and why did you come here?” Angelica asked him.

“I’m Captain Jack Sparrow, of course!” he answered with a self-satisfied smirk on his face.

Angelica looked puzzled.

The man added, “Never heard of me before?”

“No, and I’m glad I didn’t. From your look I can understand that you are a filthy pirate! This is a convent, not a brothel!”

“Clever and feisty at the same time? I’m impressed, darling.” he said examining her from head to toe while an awkward silence filled the room.

She noticed that and understood what he was thinking.

“Go away! There’s nothing for you here!” she ordered.
