In the beginning

Set Sail

DILARA'S POV

     I woke up to the sun blaring in my face. Are there no curtains in this place? I guess it makes sense. I mean, they are pirates and stealing these kind of things is what they do. I rolled over and fell out of my hammock. "Shit. No bed. Forgot." I mumbled under my breath. I Looked towards the ceiling. "Why hello there Dilara." Flintlocke greeted, coming out of nowhere. I got up off the floor and wiped all the dust off of my dress, which was REALLY uncomfortable to sleep in. "Sleep well on your first night?" Flintlocke asked. "I guess." I sighed. "By the way, we're all about to eat, and captain wants you to join." He said, starting to go up the stairs. "Why not?" I sighed, following behind him.

Flintlocke led me to another room. Except this time, it was filled with pirates. They were all throwing food and weapons around. Some were even wrestling. "Yeah. You're going to have to get use to this." Flintlocke chuckled. What is wrong with these guys? Flintlocke led me to my seat. I sat down and looked around. Was I literally the only one who has manners in this place? I looked down at my plate and picked up my fork. The food actually looked fresh this time. I picked up a piece of what appears to be chicken or duck with my fork and ate it. It tasted amazing! It was nicely cooked, for a bunch of pirates.

Nadakhan then appeared out of nowhere and sat down at the edge of the table, which was unfortunately still close to me. He picked up his cup and tapped it with is knife. "Good morning everyone!" He bellowed. "It's nice to see everyone so energetic today!" He looked down at his plate and smiled. "And the food looks amazing, good job Clancy!" "T-t-thank you captain!" Clancy smiled. I was full but I had the feeling that they didn't want me to go anywhere just yet. "And Dilara, good morning to you as well." Nadakhan smirked. "Good morning." I said, showing no fear. I was getting used to seeing all these pirates. "I see you liked your food as well." He looked at my plate. "I did, thank you." I nodded once. "Everyone! I also have an announcement!" He shouted out. "Dilara is now our quartermaster!" Everyone cheered. I choked on my drink. "Hang on!" I shouted. "I said I would think about it!" "So?" Nadakhan asked. "So, that means I never said yes!" I argued. "Well you did now." He smirked. The crew started to chuckle. I hated him. And his crew.

"Everybody set sail!" He shouted. "We're on our way to scuttle island!" They all cheered. I groaned. Great. We all went to upper deck and I watched as the crew rushed everywhere to get the sails straightened and the ship prepared. "Are you excited?" A voice said from behind. I jumped. "Oh, it's you." I said unamused. "Oh c'mon. We're about to go on an adventure. Didn't you say you've always wanted to do that?" He asked. "Yes, but I never meant an adventure where I'm kidnapped by pirates and is forced to stay with them for the rest of my life!" I shouted. "You're being very argumentative today." He sighed. "So?" I mocked him. He chuckled. "Very cute." "Don't call me cute." I mumbled. "That reminds me," he said. "What?" I asked. "I need to find out an outfit." He smirked. I was speechless. I thought about it some more and...wait. He doesn't mean...he. Wants. To. Dress me?!

He grabbed me by the arm and we both poofed away. We ended up in that one room with that bra I had found. He walked over to a large chest and opened it, there was multiple pieces of clothing. Some had jewels on them, others were just plain. He rummaged through it and looked until he found something. The outfit looked like this:

Thankfully, he didn't actually dress me. I went behind a curtain and changed. I put on the outfit and looked in a nearby mirror. "I feel like a slut." I said. "How come?" He asked. "These shorts are to high and these boots feel like socks." I complained. He didn't say anything at all, he just smiled. Weird-ass. "You look fine to me. Very beautiful." He said. I choked. He thinks I'm beautiful? And here I thought pirates had no sense of good taste. 

He took me back out onto the main deck. I looked around and saw pirates dashing around everywhere to keep the ship in shape. "I believe the ship is ready captain." Flintlocke said, appearing out of nowhere. "Good. Do you have the ship on course as well?" Nadakhan asked. "Of course." Flintlocke replied. As they carried out their conversation, I looked around once more at the multiple pirates, who were either talking or staring out into the ocean. I walked towards the edge and looked out. The sea really was gorgeous. The sparkling, blue ocean looked as if it was completely still. As the sky was mostly clear and blue with seagulls soaring through it. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes to feel, somehow, at peace in my situation. I opened up my eyes and looked out into the ocean once more before turning away. 

"Beautiful isn't it?" Nadakhan asked. "Yes." I kept my answer short. "I know you have more than just that to say." He chuckled. "So? It doesn't mean I have to speak everything that comes across my mind." I huffed. "If I did, you would find it....offensive." I glanced in his direction. He chuckled. "Well, we're on our way to Scuttle Island, so find somewhere here on the deck to stay and feel comfortable." he poofed away. I recon he's gone to go talk to Flintlocke. I leaned over the edge and looked ahead. This is going to be fun.
