Chapter 1

How did I get myself into this??
Why did I get myself into this??
My mind began racing as I was walking along the plank while men cheered behind me. Why the hell did I have to go and place a bet like that?
"What's the matter? A pretty lady getting scared?"
"What?me? No way im just... Thinking about how im gonna do this"
And how I'm gonna get away with it. While slowly inching my way closer to the end of the board the men begin to pick up in volume and cheer louder.
"DO IT DO IT DO IT"
Well I guess this is the end of Lil old me. Well I wouldn't necessarily call my self little. Standing in at 5"10, I'd say I'm pretty average for a woman.
"Alright alright calm down you knuckle heads, let the poor girl down."
I turn to see one of my crew mates, max.
Wow was she a dream to look at, I mean god I could just look at her all day but that would to gay of me wouldn't it?
"Max am I glad to see you"
"Yea yea you can pay me back by giving me some of your rations, the captain wants to see you"
The crew goes silent and looks away, returning to their work. Usually when the captain wants to see us it either means we are getting kicked off the ship or...death
"What did I do this time?"
"Don't know but he seems pretty mad."
Great just when I thought I got away from death, I have to go stare it in the face.
-----------------
As soon as I entered the room I could smell the alcohol pouring out of him. Normally us pirates would be used to this sort of thing but I could say he was one drink away from a coma.
"You wanted to see me captain?"
"Yess~ *hic* ugh"
"Rachel"
"Rachel! Yess~ you know *hic* you've been due for a promotion lately ~"
"Really??"
"Yepppp, you get to be my personal assistant or whatever the hell that is"
Is he serious?
"An assistant? That's it?"
He walks closer to me putting down the bottle on the dresser.
"What you wanted something more?"
I shiver as he runs his hand through my hair
"Um no but I'm gonna have to decline your offer captain"
"Oh but that's the thing Rachel.. You can't decline this offer~ I've had my eyes on you for a while"
I back up as he starts to get closer to me. Looking towards the window I notice we are close to land.
"Uhhh why does it always end like this."
"Like what-
Before he can finish his sentence I kick him in the stomach knocking him down on his back and begin to make a run for it.
"Come on max we gotta go"
"Why? What did you do?"
The captain burst out of his room with his sword drawn and points at me
"I WANT THEIR HEADS"
The entire crew turns towards me and max and draw their swords
"What the hell Rachel???"
I grab some rope and grab max while also saving time to blush a little
"Just shut the hell up and hold on"
I cut the rope and it slings us up towards land
"So uh there's one thing I forgot to account for"
"And what's that?"
"I dont know how we are going to lan-
We smack into a cluster of barrels, with me landing on the bottom of max, I'd probably have a broken rib but it was worth it.
"I swear your gonna get us killed"
I try and stand but feel a very sharp pain in my side
"Fuck, son of a bitch!"
"What??"
"I broke a rib, well maybe a couple"
"Could this get any worse?"
"There they are get them!"
"You were saying?"
She gives me a non entertained look as I smirk at her while trying to stand up. After a couple of minutes of weaving in and out of the crowd of people we managed to find an inn and rent a room.
"I swear Rachel everything was fine until you came along."
"Well I made everything more entertaining didn't I?"
I smirk at her as she gives me and eye roll and a grin
Max found me one day scrounging around for food, everyone knows if you are without a crew are as good as dead. Having know that, she took pity on me and convinced her captain to allow me to be part of her crew, ever since then, I've been In her debt.
"Now take your shirt off"
"Woah at least buy me dinner first"
"Not like that you idiot, I gotta see how I'm gonna fix your side cause you can't exactly fight like that"
After a minute of quietly screaming internally and whimpering a bit on the outside, she was done.
"Ok well it's not broken just badly bruised but you need to rest for a while"
"But that's no fun"
"Yea well who's fault was it to piss of the captain and fall into barrels?"
"In my defense, that guy was a douchebag and he came on to me"
"Sure, for all I know he could've asked you what's your favorite food and you would've freaked on him"
"Your really mad about this aren't you?"
"Of course I am. We have no crew, no ship, no food, and no protection. We're basically dead"
"Well I wouldn't say we don't have a crew..."
"What do you mean?
"I'll just leave it at that"
————————
I stand up suddenly total disregarding the pain in my side
"Max get up we gotta go"
"How are you not- why do we have to go?"
" I sense them"
Ok so basically I'm kinda superhuman.Some of my powers include super hearing, strength, and stamina for... other reasons.
"Their here"
"Who's here?"
"The people we're running away from remember?"
"How do you- never mind that we have to go"
Max checks her weapons and gathers our stuff. I get up to check my self in the mirror before walking out the door
