Pirates of the Caribbean: Heavens Diamonds

Chapter 3

Carina, on the other hand, was having the time of her life. For all her life, she was called a witch. Someone not worthy of studying the stars. Someone who should not know such knowledge. But that all changed when her father came along.

He offered her the chance to come aboard the Revenge, and become his first mate. She immediately accepted. At that very moment, her life changed. The first thing she did, was ask her father the ways of pirating. While she wasn't taught how to handle a sword, she was taught how to handle a gun. Which was quite useful.

Carina would be going on new adventures almost every day with her father. And if anyone dared called her a witch, it wouldn't be promising.

The Queen Anne's Revenge sailed at sea after just completing another attack. The crew went about, making sure the ship was in order. In the captains cabin, in his golden chair, sat Hector Barbossa. Commander of the Sea. He sat at his desk, writing on a large black book. Next to him, sat Carina on a chaise lounge.

She no longer sported fancy dresses. She now wore a nice red and black outfit befitting of a first mate. She sat in her seat, writing in the diary of Galileo Galilei, a Spanish treasure that her father had retrieved for her many years ago.

A string quartet played, making the room more lively than what it needed to be.

Carina wrote in her diary, making dozens of calculations. Apparently, in about three days, there was going to be a very rare occurrence known as the Blue Moon. The 3rd Full Moon in an astronomical season with 4 Full Moons. She hardly heard about it, but all she knew was that it was rarer than a blood moon. And she definitely wasn't gonna miss it. So, she was calculating where it was going to be, so she could see it clearly.

"Carina, come 'ere" Barbossa called from his desk.

Carina stood from her seat and walked up next to her father.

"Yes, Father?" She asked

"Make sure the crew be doin' their jobs. Or they'll be hell t'pay" Barbossa said, never taking his eyes of the book he was writing in.

"Of course, Father" Carina said,about to walk towards the exit. But before she could however, she felt her fathers hand reach for her diary, and snatch it from her.

"Hey!" She yelped

But Barbossa payed no attention. He was too busy reading what his daughter had written in her diary. He read through the scribblings and writings, furrowing his eyes.

"Hmm," He began "A Blue Moon, you say?" He said, raising his head so he could be staring at Carina.

Carina looked at her father, trying to find at least some words to say. "Um,yes," she said "In three days".

Barbossa looked at Carina and smirked. Her love for the heavens was never ending.

"Darlin', I understand you want to see the moon, but we've talked 'bout this. We're pirates. The sea cannot tame just fer us" he said

Carina frowned. I wish it did.

"I know but," she said, pointing at a drawing she had made on of the pages ",the Blue Moon only happens every nineteen years. It's incredibly rare! While it may not really be a blue moon, it's still an astronomical event! We don't even have to go far, it'll be visible to everyone!"

Barbossa understood she wanted to see the Blue Moon. And it would be visible to everyone. They just didn't have the time. But he hated to see his daughter upset. It's not like they haven't spent times 'minding the heavens'. He was a pirate, but he wasn't stupid.

Carina waited for her father to say something, hoping he would say yes.

Barbossa then sighed and turned to Carina. "Carina, I love yer adoration for stars. I really do. But we can't control the world"

"But we don't need to control the world" Carina said, grabbing her diary and smirking "Just the heavens. I thought you knew that already, Father". And just like that, she walked away and out the door.

Barbossa sat there, shaking his head and proceeding to write in his book.

Why did she have to inherit my sass?
