Pirate Princess

Plans

Amelia's P.O.V.

Now that the trouble was over I could finally return to my napping spot. I got comfortable and sighed relieved until I heard someone plop down beside me.

I didn't even have to look to know who it was. It was the only decent, good actually, smelling person on this whole ship.

„Did you know that soldier?" he asked curiously.
„Do you think I know the whole heir of my father personally?" I chuckled and he shrugged his shoulders. „Dunno, maybe?"

„No of course not. In fact, I only know very few of them. He was not one of them"
„Okay...thank you, you know, for not turning us in. You could've been rescued today but you chose not to" he said gratefully.

„They would have killed you if they found out. Of course I don't want that" I explained and his lips curved into a slight smile: „Why can't you just be a pirate and stay here?"

„To save your ass a third time?" I giggled and he rolled his eyes still smiling.
„You know what I mean"
I didn't know but I had a feeling what the reason might be...

We stayed silent for a while and listened to the sound of the waves.

„Sometimes I wish it could be like that too" I whispered and leaned my head against his shoulder „but it would break my father's heart"
I felt him put his arm around me and I snuggled into the warmth of his body.

He sighed and ran his fingers through my hair, deep in thought.
„Capt'n, we still haven't decided what to do with ol' Long John Slag" I heard Gibbs say as he approached us „oh, is it bad timing?"

He looked back and forth between the two of us, one eyebrow raised. Orion quickly let go of me: „No, no uh it's alright. The truth is I have no idea what to do with that dog"

„Well ye better decide quick, he's got a major appetite and Waddley is too kind to let him starve" Gibbs answered and I giggled.

„We'll figure something out. Any ideas?" Orion asked and turned towards the crew.

„Leave him on a deserted island with only one bullet"
„Throw him overboard"
„Tie him to the bow of the ship like a mermaid"
Everybody laughed at the thought of Long John Slag with a shell bra.

„We could bring him to Tortuga, I bet there are plenty of people that have an axe to grind with him" Henry suggested.

„Aye, that sounds like a good idea. We might even get a few gold coins for that fatty" Orion grinned and the crew cheered.

„Well then, next stop: Tortuga island" he announced and turned back to me.
„'tis not a very pleasant place for a woman. Promise me you will not leave my side as soon as we arrive there"

I nodded but my mind was racing: What kind of place was that? Should I be scared?
