A Pirate Story (part 1)
Cpt. Mel puffed out her chest proudly as she surveyed the ocean. Everyone knew that she, The Hazel Eye Siren, was one of the most feared pirates on the seven seas. Her ship, the Intrepid, sailed smooth and steady on the Pacific, cutting through the ocean like a blade. Ah, she loved the sea. Sure, it was a cruel mistress at times, but she loved it nonetheless. She couldn't see herself doing anything else but be a pirate. To think she actually considered becoming a teacher at one time. HA!
"Cap'n!" her first mate Zambonigirl said urgently. "We've spotted another ship coming up quickly port bow!"
"Another ship, eh? Nocturnias!"
"Aye, ma'am?" the Cabin girl asked.
"Fetch me spyglass!"
"Aye, Cap'n!"
Nocturnias sprinted from the deck and went down below to the Captain's Quarters. Zambi looked over at Cpt. Mel with worry clearly written on her face. Mel noticed but said nothing. She knew why her first mate was worried. They were on the run from the honorable and feared Admiral Tarah Fae. She hunted pirates as a sport and hanged more of them than any other admiral in history! However, she had a personal vendetta to settle with Cpt. Mel. It seemed the Hazel Eye Siren had stole the Admiral's best rum, a bottle that was over 50 years old. She had planned on saving it for her wedding day, but Cpt. Mel had other plans for it. After all, that's really the only reason Mel became a pirate... All the rum you can drink!!!
"Here ye are, madame!" Nocturnias said sweetly, handing the spyglass to her captain.
Cpt. Mel snatched the glass from her hand and looked through it towards the ship. She growled as it came into view, recognizing it immediately. Nocturnias and Zambi gave each other nervous looks.
"What the hell?!" an annoyed voice asked from the doorway of the Captain's Quarters. The group looked over to see Sailorpluto loitering in the doorway wearing only a bed sheet and looking quite pissed. "That damn Cabin Girl woke me up after she NOISILY rumagged through the room!"
"Shut yer mouth, wench!" Cpt. Mel told her pirate captive she used for her wicked pleasures. "Get back ta me quarters and stay thar!"
"Fine, just wake me up for lunch."
The group watched the wench go back under the deck before returning their attention to the oncoming ship.
"What is it, Cap'n?" Zambi asked. "Is it Admiral Tarah Fae in the Valiant?"
"No," Mel answered shortly. "The Valiant be a good ship, but this one be too fast. It got to belong to another pirate."
"Who, ma'am?"
Mel lowered her spyglass and said in a low voice. "Me chief rival... the Dread Pirate Notsosaintly and her ship the Smutty. Get the crew ready, Zambi. This might get ugly."
"Cap'n!" her first mate Zambonigirl said urgently. "We've spotted another ship coming up quickly port bow!"
