Lippa One Shots

Sword Fights

"You just can't keep us tied up forever!!" I yelled at the person walking away from us.

"Capt's orders. She'll like dicing ya up." The gruff man chuckled. We had been tied up for two days. Two days. All because these dumb pirates thought we were going to sail into their waters. It was an accident and we were having fun.

"Barnacle!" A woman's voice yelled. The gruff man in front of me lifted his head and looked at the woman standing at the top of the ship. "You leave them alive. We need them for trade when we get back." She said while stepping more into my view. She was gorgeous... Her facial features were phenomenal. Gorgeous light brown eyes, the perfect nose... I thought all pirates were supposed to be terrifying.

"Yes Capt..." Barnacle mumbled while kicking his feet. "Why can't we jus kill 'em?" He grumbled. The captain drew her sword and pointed the tip at Barnacle's throat.

"Cause I ain't cleanin' up the mess. Keep it up and I'll have yer ass hangin' in my chambers. Are we clear?" She said while poking him with her sword.

"Yes Capt!" He gulped.

"Good." She said while putting her sword back into her belt. "Now, can we get to port?! Or are ya just goin' to waste my time!" She yelled. Her entire crew went to work quickly. I was in awe. She had so much authority over everything and everyone... "Quit looking at me." She growled.

"Sorry.." I said while looking away.

"Shame we have to sell you." She said while walking up to me. Her hand grabbed my face and she lifted it up to examine. "You'd make a wonderful first mate."

"Why are you selling us?" I asked.

"Because if we don't. We would kill ya!" She smirked. "But we need the money. Can't just keep drinking sea water. Us pirates need our liquor." She laughed.

"Why not sing a shanty and just make money that way?" My friend scoffed.

"Mad eye!" She yelled. A man with an eyepatch walked over to her slowly. He was huge... Giant muscles and was bald... Completely and utterly terrifying... "End him." We'll only have one to sell." She scowled. The man, walked over to my friend and untied him.. Keeping his hands tied, walked him to the edge of the boat, sliced his legs and kicked him overboard.

"Oh no..." I whispered.

"Let that be a lesson to ya." She whispered before walking away.

That night, it was freezing. Just like every other night. The crew was sitting on barrels of god knows what and had on their version of coats. The captain wandered through and looked back at me.

"You look cold there." She laughed. "Look at him shiver." She pointed. Some of the crew laughed at me... I was freezing. How did they deal with it? "Guess I ought to give you something for warmth?" She smirked.

"P-please..." I said through chattering teeth.

"Swab the deck first." She said while untying me.

"But it's dark.." I said while rubbing my wrists.

"Best do what she says mate. Or you'll end up overboard!" One guy yelled. I looked back and saw Mad Eye holding a bucket and mop for me. I sighed and did as told. I didn't want to die today...

After a few hours of cleaning, a storm had hit. It was pointless for me to keep mopping so I stopped.

"Capt didn't say stop!" Mad Eye yelled at me. I frowned and kept mopping. This was stupid.

"Captain! Captain! Enemy ship!" One of the crew yelled.

"Blow 'em up with what we have! Kill them!" She yelled while pointing her sword to the sky. It took a bit, but I felt the ship moving so quickly on the water. A huge wave shot over us and a loud bang filled my ears. I watched as different people fought with swords, others attempting to steal the barrels off of the Captain's ship. It was terrible. I hid behind a post, hoping I wouldn't be seen or worse killed...

"Get up and fight you land lubber!" Mad Eye yelled while picking me up by my neck. He threw me towards the fighting. "You may be a captured man but you will fight under the captain." He said while handing me a sword. "Now go!" He pushed me again toward some dude who looked like he would kill me with just his finger....

"Wait, wait, wait." I looked over at my son who was sitting on the floor in front of me with his sister. "You expect us to believe that Mommy was a pirate?" He asked.

"I swear to you she was." I smiled. Pippa walked by holding a laundry basket full of clothes. "Right honey?" I asked.

"Yup." She answered.

"How were you a pirate?!" George asked.

"Well... I was taken as a kid and just managed to..." She paused while looking at our young children. "Work my way to being captain..." She smiled.

"But you can't be a pirate! Prove it!" George crossed his arms and glared at her. She set the basket down and walked over to him.

"If ye don't clean your quarters by sunset, I'll have your rear grounded to the deck for weeks." She said quietly. George's eyes widened at her words and ran into his room to clean it. I laughed at George's actions. "Oh I miss the waters sometimes." She sighed.

"But you're glad you're here right?" I frowned. I watched her pick up Catherine and walk over to me.

"I wouldn't trade this for pirating any day." She said before kissing me. "By the way... The old crew is coming by to welcome Catherine into the family. Since they were still at sea when she was born." She shrugged.

"The last time they were here we had the cops called twice..." I frowned.

"They just broke a few windows... We used to do worse years ago." She winked while walking away. God I was glad to be taken by her.
