I stepped onto the ship with uncertain steps. It was the military boat, diva, they called it.
I fluttered my fan against the heat as my father, captain of this vessel approached.
But, as always, he wasn't talking to me.
"The ship has captives sire, down in the brig," he let out a short snort of amusement, "they speak of mermaids."
The general smiled. "The heat does strange things, and pirates are always drunk in any case."
The guards stepped on board, disappearing into the belly of the ship. The general followed.
My father slid his eyes to me. "Celeste? What are you doing? Women on the seas is bad luck!" He scolded.
I suppressed rolling my eyes. "We're in port. Can't I see my dear father after months away?"
He ushered me off the ship.
"I missed you too" I mutter into my fan as he steps back on the deck, and begins shouting orders.

Jack put his hand through the bars. "Captain Jack Sparrow. Call me Jack." "The Captain Jack Sparrow?" Delia said excitedly. "I've heard all the stories." He was practically a pirate legend. "The one and only. I sailed with your dad when I was young. It's good to know someone who knows who I am and doesn't want to kill me." He smiled. "unless this is a trap?" He questioned jokily. She laughed slightly. "Nope, it's just me. No guards." "Have you ever thought of following in his footsteps?" "Yes. I want to get away from Port Royal as soon as I can." "What's stopping you then?" "Well every time I try to escape I somehow get captured by Ma-" "No, no, no, Love. I mean becoming a pirate." Jack had a glint in his eyes as he suggested the idea. "Well..... If I'm being honest. I would love to but it is kind of hard when you can't even get on a ship without someone getting you in trouble, because women apparently can't be on the ship." Delia rolled her eyes at the fact.

Hooked • Harry Hook ✔
"Well, what do we have 'ere?" A hoarse voice stated above me, making my eyes glaze upward in the direction of the culprit, only to freeze at the icy, crystallized irises of the owner. There, above me, was the man I saved, looking insanely at me with crazed eyes and a mocking tone. His hair was stuck on his forehead and the smudged eyeliner created a trace of dark lining on his face, making him look hauntingly. The man gazed at my form in amazement and wonder before they captured mine again, sending an icy cold sensation coursing through my vein, making me shiver. He was frightening and breathtaking at the same time. "A mermaid, aye?" he questioned as his gaze trailed down the length of my body. Grabbing my arms with one hand, he caressed my face gently, his thumb grazing my parted lips before they went below my hair twirling a single piece. I struggled from underneath him when he let the hair graze my breast underneath my blackened hair. Grinning at me madly, my eyes narrowed distastefully as his hand touched my crimson scales, stroking the tail almost lovingly. "Is this how you repay your saviour, pirate?"Complete
