~20 years later~

We look towards our captain as he drank more. Connor knew his captain wasn't the greatest like Black Beard or a couple other famous captains known to pirate kind but they did have a good pay of bring in fish.

Connor stands up and chugs the last of his first and only bottle of whiskey down as he glances towards a couple crew members to follow him out into the fresh salty air.

As they walked they watch some men fish, women wash clothes, and children playing a few feet away from their mothers. Connor never had the luxury of the ability to settle down and claim a life of love, of children, of death.

Connor shook his head as he walked to the docks with a couple of his crew mates.

"Aye Connor when will you step up as captain? You are the captain's first mate after." He asked.

Connor looks down not wanting to answer.

"Eli's right Connor. You are more of a Captain than our own."

Connor could take the option of killing his own captain, to even become captain, and forever be called the  'Captain Killer'. Or he could wait til his captain gets killed himself.

"Aye having ye as Captain is a tremendous idea!" Snarled another voice.

Connor wheeled around on his heels. He came close to punch this man. He was always angry Connor was the first mate and not him. His name was Obsidian Kingsley and he was known as the butcher upon the ship.

Obsidian had butcher over a hundred people in his prime and he still is. Eli narrows his eyes at him and Williams hand rested on the hilt of his scarab.

Obsidian begun laughing now. "Ye think you can best me?!"

He drew his blade quickly but before he could even swing Captain Whitley drunkly called at him in anger.

"What the hell is wrong with you Obi!?" The angry drunk captain stormed over. "You dare raise a sword towards your first mate?!?"

Obsidian sheathed his sword and his ears grew a molten hot red before he could free himself from the envoy of the captains onslaught.

Connor, Eli, and Williams took careful  steps back towards the ship. Connor than stopped a net on the boat had been lowered for any fish to be passing by. Connor picks up his pace and he rushes over quickly. He begun pulling up the net when it felt heavier than he had imagined.

Connor ushers to his two other ship mates who rush over and help him pull it up. When the net was on the ships deck the relieve made Connor stare in utter shock.

Inside of the net was a woman, but the strangest oddity about her was that she had a tail.

Her hair was as black as coal. Her eyes were a light grey, as if she were blind, and her skin, though with scales at the end of them, was a gorgeous olive color. Connor could not take his eyes off this beautiful beast, and he clearly wasn't the only one.

"R-release me monsters!" She sung.

Williams blinked a few times rather quickly.

Eli rushed towards the deck to see if anyone came their way and there was, thankfully no one.

"It's a siren.." Stuttered Williams, when Eli returned.

"Let's make a sell with her! Buy our own ship!" Cried Eli.

Connor just shook his head, sweeps his arms, one under her tail and the other at her lower back,  and carries her off to the lower decks. Williams and Eli gave pursuit.

Connor carefully lowers her into a barrel of water to keep her, one alive and two safe.

"Stay here." he said to her softly.

She blinked up at him in confusion. Connor gave her a soft smile, which caused her to look away. Connor turned towards Eli and Williams. He gave them each nod and they knew exactly what he meant, but they stared at him in shock as he had spoke.

Connor was only appointed First mate just because he hardly spoke and that's what the captain liked about him.

"All everyone told us was that your tongue was cut out so you became a mute." Eli said.

Connor just shook his head. Once the three of them started back to head to the top deck, Connor took on last glance to their new captive and he felt his heart break for this creature, woman whatever she was he felt sadness with her nearness.

(762 words were put into this part. Connor is the sweetest pirate ever I will not deny but if he becomes captain will that change?Also I want to thank those who sat through this and actually read the story. And finally the song up top was more for fun than anything plus I found the video funny. Also you are lucky I was feeling generous.)
