The Flighting Ship

Ship life

The bombs fell right next to my ship. He attacked again, but I couldn't see his ship. I knew it was him, I knew it was Brandon. He was the only one to attack me. The rest of the shipmen were too scared to even come near me at this point. I lifted the ship out of the sea. I tried to see him above the clouds but with no luck. I landed my ship in the sea  again and started sailing. Luckily Brandon wasn't the sharpest shooter and he had not hit my ship. I sailed off not knowing if I would see his ship ever again. Suddenly I saw him.

There he was, he was sailing away again. But not this time, this time I had the plan to get him. He finally was going to be dead, I would finally have the chance destroy him. He had done enough damage already. And not only to me.
'Come here!' I screamed as my ship sailed towards his.
'You already killed enough people, it's your time to go now.'
Suddenly he gave over.

It's a normal day, nothing unexpected was happening or anything. I was just sailing on my ship. The only thing that did happen today was that Lewis came and just stared at me again. But I guess that's just him trying to process everything. Because on this ship, nothing is normal. Even if you think so at the first look.

I stand up from my chair, I had written in my diary but I wanted to sail again. I went up to the deck.
'So there you are' I said with a smile.
'I'll take the wheel now.' He gave me the wheel immediately. He always did exactly what I said, and he is the only other alive one on the ship. Lewis was his name. Sometimes I tried to think what he was thinking. I mean I just came by his house one day and asked if he would like to go with me on the seas, be a pirate. He didn't know back then what he had said yes to. Now he knows.

'Madame, your coat is nice today' Lewis said. I wore my navy blue coat, it was velvet.
'Thank you Lewis, you look nice too' Lewis blushed.
'Why don't you go and make some soup out of the greens that that other ship had?' I suggested. Earlier this day we raided a ship. the ship wasn't that big but they had to go down. I mean we are pirates, it's what we do.
'Okay Harlow, I am in the kitchen. Would you like your soup with  some bread?' He asked.
'Bread sounds nice, thank you.'

I really wanted Lewis as my human crew member. He seemed very nice the first time I met him and he could cook very well. He didn't need to help with fighting or raiding or anything, only if he wanted to himself. I did not put Lewis on this ship to fight after all. Just to cook. If I was going to live on the seas the least I could have was some nice food.

For fighting I have other crew members. They can't die so they are perfect for that. I love my 20 bony people. I didn't give them any names yet, maybe I should. I'm always calling them by their number. But then again I didn't know skeletons had their own personality yet.

I have the wheel again, not that I don't have the wheel very often, I am the owner of this ship after all. Sailing is the most fun of all, just going somewhere. I don't really have any destination, I just go wherever I go.
'Miss Harlow' I suddenly hear. It is one of my little bone man.
'What's the deal now, skelly number 6. Having trouble again?'
'No miss, well, number 8 is stuck in a barrel and 4 and 14 are fighting again. I tried to stop them but it wouldn't help.' the skeleton said.
'Thank you number 6, I'll go and watch.'

As I walk to number 8 I already hear the other two bickering. Sometimes it really is not bearable anymore but what can you do, I mean I can't drown them, they don't die. I could throw them off I suppose but I need them with raids. Both 4 and 14 are the best fighters on deck after all.

'So 8, having trouble again?' I said with a somewhat demanding voice.
'well, 2 pushed me over and I fell with my hip bones in the barrel. It wasn't my fault this time, I swear!' he said. He sounded kind of scared.
'Hey it's okay, I'll help you out of the bucket.' I helped him get out of the bucket, rearranging all bones together with him. Number 8 always got stuck in any situation possible. He really is just clumsy, but he is sweet.

Then I walked over to 4 and 14.
'You two, here now' I yelled as I pointed at both.
'Why are you two fighting again. Stop it or else I will throw you off the ship for a week.'
They immediately apologised.
'we will stop, I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have started the fight' 4 said.
'Okay, can go and eat now?' I asked. I was getting hungry from all that helping and taking care of my crew mates. Yes I liked them a lot, but it was tiring too. After all, I did choose for it myself so I can't really complain.
'Yes madame.' they said together and I walked off.
