Child Of Calypso

Eight Years Later.

A young voice drew Mina to the ship.

"Yo, ho. yo, ho, a pirate's life for me. Yo, ho, yo, ho, it's a pirate's life for me." Mina swam along side of the ship and watched as the girl continued to sing.

"Drink up me hearties, yo, ho."

"Quiet, missy! Cursed pirates sail these waters. You want to call 'em down on us?" An old man questions and a ripple is sent through the water. Mina stuffles a shiver as she feels the gold call to her blood.

"Mr.Gibbs." Says a new voice and a young man glares at Gibbs.

"That will do." The man says.

"She was singing about pirates. Bad luck to sing about pirates, with us mired in this unnatural fog-mark my words." Gibbs mutters.

"Consider them marked. On your way." The man orders.

"'Aye, Captain. Bad luck to have a woman on board, too. Even a mini'ture one." Gibbs mutters as Mina moves off. Time for her to play her part in this game.

Finding the boy drifting in the water Mina grabs him and places him on a piece of lone drift wood. Seeing the gold piece Mina carefully puts it under his shirt without touching it.

"Be safe William Turner." She whispers in his ear before diving under the board and dragging it over to the ship.

"Look! A boy! In the water!" The little girl cries and soon the boy is being raised out of the sea.

With bootstrap Bill's son in the safety of the goveners daughter it was time for step two.

Mimicking the call of the gold piece Mina swam like hell in the direction leading away from the young master Turner.

Suddenly a net entangled Mina and she was pulled up out of the water and onto the deck of the Black Pearl.

"Welcome aboard Miss.Mouse." Barabosa calls from above her and before she can stop herself she hisses at him.

"Ohh more like a kitten." Barbosa taunts.

"Change back." Barbosa commands and she bares her teeth once more.

"I'd rather not. Instead if you could just kindly out me back into the sea I'd be grateful." Mina asks as she makes sure her hair covers her chest enough. It's bad enough the damn pirates caught her they don't need to see all of her.  

"Where be the last piece of gold?" Barbosa demands.

"Gold? I don't recall seeing any in the ocean but if you toss me back in I'll be sure to keep open eyes for any." Mina says with a disarming smile as she looks at him.

"Don't bother with the charm Miss.Mina it's not going to work on a man with no feelings. Toss her in my cabin boys. It would seem Miss.Mina is shy!" Mina was pulled up out of the net and tossed into the Captains quarter's.

"Damn pirates!" She yells after them but the only reply are harsh laughs.

Changing back into her mortal form Mina quickly pulls out a red dress and laces it up. It slides off the side of her right shoulder but for the moment it would have to work. She sits on Barbossa's bed lacing up her shoes when the fabeled captain himself graces her with his presance.

"Where be the gold?" Barbosa questions.

"I would assume in London with Bill's only child." Mina says with a shrug as she pulls on her left boot and then hurriedly laces it.

"For some untold reason I don't believe you." Barbosa says as he towers over her.

"Well then that's not my fault. That you have trust issues." Mina says with a raised brow as she stands and faces him never one to back down from his challenges.

"No but it is your fault if the LAST piece of gold is out of our grasp." Barbosa says threateningly as he stares her down.

"I want Tia Dalma released as much as you want your curse lifted. One cannot be without the other." Mina says as she shoulders past him. He gasps and then grabs her shoulder.

"Barbosa let me go." Mina says through gritted teeth but he does not let her go.

"Why can I feel you?" Barbosa demands.

"I'm an immortal Barbosa don't ask questions about me. Things are better left unsaid." Mina says as she pulls away but Barbosa pins her to the wall.

"Barbosa let me go. This is the last warning." Mina says as she puts her hands on his chest and tries to push.

"Warn me of what? From my view point I'm stronger than you Miss.Mouse." Barbosa says as he tries to kiss her. However she moves her head and he misses her mouth.

"Barbosa let me go." Mina demands.

"No."

"Fine." Mina says as her body becomes little less than air and she evaporates. Leaving the red dress and her bag behind.
