"Let's not keep him waiting then"

I was woken up with cold water hitting my face.

"Wake up ye little wench" said the old scruffy voice. That familiar voice from last night.

(A/N wench is a name for a woman or a peasant girl. In this scenario a woman. I'll notify you if it changes)

I wiped my face with my left hand and rubbed my eyes at the same time.

As I opened them I saw the whole crew circled around me. Most of them with weapons pointing at me.

Realizing where I was, and what was happening I jumped on my feet with the Cutlass in my right hand.

Even without any chances of winning If needed I will defend myself.

"Lower your weapons gentlemen. I speak no threat" I said without a shake in my groggy morning voice. Even if my voice wasn't shaking it doesn't mean I wasn't horrified.

"Ye!" said that voice and it finally clicked after I saw his face.

It was that older, gray bearded man whom I was saying my apologies about Stephan.

"Sire" I said nodding my head.

"Lass what are ye doing here?"

(A/N if I haven't mentioned it already lass is a name for a child)

"May them lower the weapons and I will talk about whatever you want"

"Ye heard the lady ye scurvy dogs. Lower them down" he yelled at the people.

(A/N "ye scurvy dogs" is an insult)

For a thin moment you could hear the sound of putting the swords away. And unclenching the pistols.

I, myself lowered my hand with the Cutlass.

Even though the crew lowered their weapons, they still eyed me warily. Which is understandable.

Remembering I was still in my night gown I cleared my throat and said.

"I presume you all have saw what happened last night"

"We did, aye" said the man and I heard a bunch of "ayes". Hmm so that means yes. Duly noted.

"As we are already on the sea.." I said and showed, brought up with my hands our surroundings "...and last night the thought of asking you the permission had slipped my mind. My apologies for that. But again you wouldn't had let me would you?"

"M'lady there are a lot of men on this ship that thinks that a wench could cause a lot of trouble"

" I am well aware of your superstitions Sire..." I stopped not knowing his name.

"Wylie m'lady"

"As I was saying I am well aware about that particular superstition. Even if a woman causes you trouble. Aren't you supposed to be pirates you know, trouble your middle name?"

He only laughed heartly at my comment. Actually not only him, a lot of the laughed too.

"Captain Wylie, do I look like trouble to you"

And I heard the whole crew laugh.

"Lass I'm no Cap'n, ye made me shred a tear, eh" Wylie said.

"Aye M'lady, tis old salt is the First Mate" said one of the members.

(A/N old salt is sailor/pirate who is already experienced)

"I presume you mean the right hand"

"Aye"

"Well where is your captain then" I asked.

"Those bilge-sucking British privateer has taken him from our ship. So we are after him after a little break last night for trade of loot" Wylie said.

(A/N "bilge-sucking" insult, "loot"-stolen money/belongings)

"I think that we both could have use of each other, if you do not kill me of course" I said already having a plan.

"Sink me lassie before I make ye become shark bait"

(A/N "sink me"- surprise me, "lassie"- child, "shark bait"- I think we all know this)

"My proposition is if you let me stay, I assure you I will save your captain with out a unnecessary slaver"

"And what makes ye think we're afraid of a little slaver lass"

"I do not think you're afraid. But I do think that is a better profit if you make it out of there alive Wiley"

"Aye , the wench does have a point" said one of them.

"Aye, I have no wish to visit Davy Jones' Locker yet" said another

(A/N A mystical fable about a evil spirit from the bottom of the ocean that draws pirates or sailors to their death)

"Aye, and how exactly are ye gonna rescue our Captain. He is the Scourge of the 7 seas, ye can not just ask him free lass" said Wylie " AND GET TIS SHIP MOVEING BEFORE I FEED YE ALL TO THE FISHES" he yelled, causing me to flinch.

(A/N "scourge of the 7 seas"- deadliest pirates, "feed ye to fishes"-its obvious 🤣💀)

"If the Privateer is the same one I think it is, lets just say he owns me a terribly huge favor Wylie" I said full of confidence. If Roger is the privateer then we're all good.

You see Roger owns a life. He killed one of the Heads of the government, and while he was drunk on rum he forgot to zip his mouth.

He blabbered all of it to me. No we did not sleep together. I simply went to my fathers boat-shed while Roger was there drinking his life away.

Anyway so when he woke up in the morning I told him that I was going to shut my mouth, but that he owns me a death favor.

"And if he isn't?" He asked lifting his left, thick eyebrow.

"I shall find another way then" I sighed.

"I see ye ain't no a landlubber"

"Pardún a what?"

"Ye don't have sea legs. Like ye used to a ship lass"

"Ahh, yes. I used to sail when I was younger with my father. Let's not keep the Captain waiting shall we. Oh and Wylie?"

"Aye?" He asked with raised eyebrows.

"Can you find some other clothes for me?" I asked hoping for a yes.

"Aye m'lady, I can. Follow me"

(())(())((()))))(((())))

Wylie gave some clothes similar others are wearing. And left me in the room to change.

(A/N what she was wearing but without the headscarf/bandanna)

It was a big white shirt and a little waistcoat on top.

Some big pants with a belt. Even with a belt it felt big for me so I took a big scarf and tied it around my waist.

He gave me some black boots on top of all.

I slipped the Cutlass in the belt and walked out of the room.

If my mother would saw me she would flinch.

(()))((()))((()))))(())))()

-Okay so for those who don't understand- Addies mother and father thought her how to fight while she was growing up. They kept it a secret, so others wouldn't know because she is a 'lady'. But even if they thought her, it was all basics, not like a pirate with the experience would know.

And while she was younger. Like 9/10ish her father brought her on her work while trading with another port.

Hope I cleared things up a bit.

Also I CAN NOT BELIEVE WE HIT OVER 100 READS. WOW guys I am so thankful for you. All of you.

*Okay so who do you think is the Captain?*

Enough of me mateys. Hope all of you are doing good.

Remember YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!

Just a little reminder.

Stay true to yourselves,

Yours truly,

Crimson Mist
