Skull and Bones

Chapter 5

"Here. This is your bathing suit." Uma hands it to me and I change into the green and black bikini top with matching swimming shorts.

Uma was weaing the exact same thing. We go to the plank and we both jump in. Below i can see sharks. They quickly swim away.

"Okay. Incase you get captured by another pirate crew around here and they make you walk the plank, they are going to tie your legs up and your hands so you can't swim and basically drown. I'm going to show you how you can get out of all of that without drowning."

I nod as she continues talking.

"Alright. First thing's first. Open your eyes. Ignore the sting because you honestly really need to focus before you drown. And, since we are both daughters of people that lived under the sea so it doesnt affect us"

Uma teaches me how to get out of the ropes that would be around my hands. I had to use my teeth to loosen the ropes to bite through them or rotate my wrists or something like that.

I was then taught how to free myself when my feet are tied up. I had to bite through that too. Harry came to the edge of the plank and sat down with us. I roll my eyes as he smirks at me.

Uma snaps her fingers. "Hey! You're eye fucking her more then the guy at the restaurant!"

Harry stands up. "Me? And why would I do such a thing?"

Because you are a crazy lunatic in need of a mental hospital I thought.

"But you were staring." Uma said with a glare. He was staring. Ooh. was Harry Hook into Uma? I could so see that. The problem was, I sorta kind of think Harry is cute too. VERY cute. Hot even.

"Don't you want to tell her what will happen if her mouth is duct taped or something and she can't bite the ropes?" I swam to the plank and Harry kneeled down holding his hook up to my face.

"Don't you wanna tell her what's going to happen if she is kidnapped by another crew, and they tie her hands and feet together and then they duct tape her mouth and she is forced to walk the plank and they push her off the plank but she can't breathe or swim so she sufffocates and dies?" He smiles.

"You disturb me. It's like you want me dead or something." i smirk and his eyes narrow. That catches Uma's attention.

"Don't worry, Harry will kill anyone else except someone in the crew or related to me." she reassures.

"You sure about that?" i cross my arms.

"Yeah. And come on we have to finish this. Harry what's my time?"

"You sure you wanna ask him that Uma? Seems like he can't tell time as Gil had gladly informed us on."

Gil salutes me.

"Hey! You two remeber what i said. One day you will get along I'm sure of it. Now back to work let's go!"

After all the near deaths of drowning and dodging sudden sneak attacks I had finally finished the two hours of training with Uma.

"Great job. I think you've passed this part." Uma smiles as i secretly pump my fist up in the air.

"Alright Gil! You're up mate!" I yell. Gil jumps from thhe crow's nest and lands in front of me. I was already changed but the salt water smell was back and my hair was dripping down my dry clothes.

"this way please."

"Um Gil..that's the plank..."

"Oh sorry this way then." He points the opposite direction. I follow him to the other end of the boat.

"alright stealing. First thing you need to know about stealing. Stealing is always bad but you just need to steaal the right thing. Like this." Gil holds up my sword. I gasp and look at my waist and it was gone.

"How the hell did you do that?" I question him.

"Hear me out. Let me tell you the rules about stealing. Do NOT act suspicious. Don't have your head down in a place and don't look around to see if other people are looking at you. If you think you are bring watched, follow your gut. And wear jackets like mine.There are deep pockets."

"And what if i do get caught?"

"Then you run. Run as fast as possible. Use your resources to find some things to escape easily. Here. Try on me."

I shrug and hold up Gil's wallet and he slightly nods and I dash away. why was he so fast. Resources. Right. I look around the ship and I grab onto a rope and lasso myself up into the crow's nest.

"Great job!" Gil yells. I smile.

"But like- i want my wallet back."

I come to the ground and hand it back to him and he goes on about Navigation after that. For someone with less brain and more muscle, he was actually pretty good at navigating. He taught me how to use a compass and how to know where to navigate with the stars as well.

"Alright. You have passed!"Me and Gil high five and then Harry walks over to us with his normal crazy smile.

"My turn." he whispers. I sigh. "Good luck." Gil smiles slightly for we both knew what was coming my way. i follow him keeping my sword by my side just incase. I follow Harry to the other section of the large ship.

"Well this is going to be fun isn't it?" He turns to me and let's his hook fall to the ground. "the sword."

"No!" I argue.

"THE SWORD!"

"I REFUSE TO GIVE YOU MY SWORD!"

He flairs his nose and then closes his eyes slowly and makes his way over to me with his eyes still closed and stops right in front of me. I was so confused that i didn't notice him taking my sword until he was walking away and spinning it on his finger..

"No way. That hasn't happened since he had battled a rival old crew member." Uma says walking over to me.

"What are you talking about?"

"My last crew memeber. Her name was Quinn. Her and Harry had the same relationship as you do now except that Harry didn't have a crush on her."

"I'm sorry what?" I say in disgust.

"Oh please the feeling is mutual. Anyways, they would fight almost every single day. They absoultely hated each other. The only thing stopping Harry from killing Quinn was me. Me and Quinn were friends. She was always having my back. Until she found out that we were going to raid a ship that belonged to her other best friend who was actually a rival pirate of this crew. Eventually she had went and told the other crew and then Harry had found out. He had came to tell us but he was too late. The crew was already here and they were twice as big as ours. Quinn had faught along with them. We had managed to fight off half of the crew sending them over board giving the sharks thier dinner. Quinn was mad that she was loosing. She took her anger out on Gil's brother. She killed him."

I stood frozen.

"Gil had a brother?"
