So....This one might fall under the category of....Fluff?
Idk.

I was roughly lead aboard a stinking pirate's ship, one with black sails, the one called The Black Pearl.

I had thought it was a legend, but now here I was, being kidnapped and put on that same cursed ship.

As soon as me, along with a few other unfortunate people, were on board, we were all tied around the mainmast.

I struggled a bit, but stopped when a pirate glared at me and began sharpening a wicked-looking knife.

After a few minutes, an ugly man who I was guessing was the captain came and inspected all of us prisoners.

"Well, well," he said as he walked up to me, a cruel sneer on his face.

"Shouldn't make a very good crewman, but we have other uses for her...." As soon as my brain registered this, I resumed my struggling in a desperate attempt to escape.

I would not become the toy of some scummy pirates!

"Oh, I wouldn't do that if I were you." The dirty captain said.

"Oh, REALLY? And since when do you care about women except when you get to use them as these.....Objects to satisfy your lustful desires?!?" I said, my voice dripping with venom and anger.

He was about to respond, when suddenly the moon came out from behind the thick, midnight clouds.

And as soon as it's silver light shine upon the pirate crew, their true forms were revealed.

Skeletons dressed as pirates now stood upon the deck.

Living skeletons.

I had heard stories about these pirates turning to skeletons when the moon shone on them, and, like the legend about the ship, I had assumed it was made up.

Twice tonight I had been dead wrong about what existed and what didn't....

I turned my eyes to look at the captain, his appearance was exactly the same as the others.

"Welcome, lass, to The Black Pearl....." He said with an evil sneer on his bony white face.

"Alright, you scumbags, untie the girl." He said, glancing around at the crew.

So the skeletons began advancing towards me,

"NO!!!" I cried out.

"SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!" I continued to shout as they began to cut my bonds, frantically looking around at all the other prisoners, who just looked down at the deck, knowing that there was nothing they could do.

"No! Get your hands off if me you dirty scoundrels!" Resisting was getting harder, and I was beginning to get worn out. But I kept struggling nonetheless.

But I was pinned down, and I screamed as those bony hands took hold of me.

When the sun has come up, I lay on the deck, sobbing, bruised, and exhausted.

I had been stripped down to my undergarments, so I was shivering and cold as well.

I heard footsteps coming towards me, so I cried out in fear, thinking it was another pirate, coming for some more.

"NO! PLEASE!" I screamed in terror, scrambling up off the deck, and attempting to run, but I collapsed.

"No, no, miss, I'm not a pirate. I won't do to you what they've done." A gentle voice said softly.

I couldn't even move, and I didn't make any attempt to escape as the footsteps came closer.

"Please." I whimpered. As I felt a pair of strong arms lift me off the deck.

"They took me away from my town, Port Royal, so I'm not one of them, I'm a prisoner and a slave, just like you."

His words almost didn't make sense to me, exhaustion and trauma from the last night had left my mind in ruins.

As he walked me towards a door to a cabin, I was guessing, darkness overtook me, and I lost consciousness.

~*~

I awoke lying in a hammock, and I gazed up at the wooden ceiling. Having a moment of confusion as to where I was, but it soon came back to me. And tears of fear immediately began pouring from my eyes.

"Oh, you're awake." Said that same gentle voice, with a slight British accent.

Then I heard him rushing over, tipping a over few things in the process.

"No, no, you don't need to be frightened. You're in my cabin now, safe."

Safe

I managed to calm down a bit, my eyes still fixed on the ceiling.

I reached my hands up, wincing at the soreness, and hastily dried my tears with the blanket I was under.

Then I turned to the man who was somewhat, I suppose, my rescuer.

He was sitting on a small stool that was next to the hammock. Gazing at me, looking slightly concerned.

I had expected him to be handsome because of his voice, but he looked so much different compared to the pirates.....And that shocked me.

Dark brown eyes looked into mine.

"Uh, hello." I said, slowly sitting up, but having a somewhat hard time, due to the bruises and strained muscles.

"Thank you, uh, for not just leaving me on the deck, out in the open...."

"It's fine, Miss. I'm William Turner, by the way.....But, uh, I go by Will." He said.

"Oh, I'm y/n, y/l/n....."

Will was about to say something, but somebody quickly opened the door to the cabin.

I gasped and fear filled me again when I recognized him as that disgusting, old pirate captain from last night.

With a sneer, he looked at me, before turning to Will and saying,

"Ah, so there's the girl from last night.....Are you taking your turn with her?"

"No, you filthy bastard, I was actually trying to calm her, after what you let your crew do to her last night." Will said, sounding very irritated.

I managed a small smirk.

"Alright lad, I'll leave you alone with the missy....." He said, stepping out of the cabin.

"Again, thank you so much...." I said after a short silence.

"You don't have to thank me." Will said as he gently reached out and took my hand.

"Well, nevertheless, I will still thank you, Mister Turner...." I said, feeling some of my old sass returning.

Will smiled, revealing white teeth.

"Alright, Miss." He said, kissing my hand gently.

THE END!!!

Hope you liked it!!!!
