The Queen Anne's Revenge
Madeline stood at the helm of her ship. The sun glinted off of the clear, blue, Carribean waters. They were about a days journey away from Blackbeard's island. She looked up at Jimmy in the crow's nest. She grabbed a passing cabin boy by his collar.
"Tell Firstmate Hartwood that I request his presence," she commanded. The cabin boy nodded, not making eye contact with her. He climbed to the crow's nest and talked to Jimmy for a few seconds. Jimmy climbed down and came over to where she was standing. He wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her close to him.
"You needed to speak with me, m'lady?" he whispered in her ear, his breath hot on her neck.
"Indeed I do," she said, "Do you think it was a bad idear to invite the other captains to help us obtain me father's treasure?"
Jimmy thought it over for a moment and looked at Madeline.
"Nay. Do you?" he responded. She shook her head.
"YOU DIRTY DOGS BETTER BE LISTENNING WELL!" she yelled to the crew. They didn't seem to hear her or they were ignoring her. Either way, it wasn't working. She pulled out a pistol and shot it up in the air. The crew froze and turned towards the helm.
"Well, now that I have your attention," she shot someone who wasn't paying attention to her, " first of all, someone throw that corpse off of my ship. Second, I want this ship clean enough to eat off of before we reach Blackbeard's, lord rest his soul, island." The crew began work instantly. She smirked. She was in charge and she knew it.

Black leaned up against the railing attached to the front of the boat, watching the red and black paint figure get covered in sea water. she smiled, it was always fun to sail. she turned around and walked to the lower deck, 'Aye, all of you better get up or there be no food waiting for ya." she yelled, turning around and walking up the stairs. as she walked onto the deck with the steering wheel a sand bag feel from the crows nest and landed right in front of her. she jumped back before looking up at who was up there. A grin crossed her face, "Rico, get you as down here." she said, as she watched him grab the rope next to him and come flying down.

Life [or Rico, as he liked to be called] landed in front of Black with thud. "What is it that you want, senorita?" he asked, he couldn't help the guilty smiled that crossed is lips.

Black put a finger to his chest, "Don't talk to me like that, Chico, you tried to hit me with a sand bag!"
she said, the smile still growing.

Rico gasped, "Chica, i would never do such a thing?" he said, not able to get the smile to go away, he liked toying with Black.

Black walked forward until Rico was pressed up against the mast, "Aye, Chico, me call me Black, not no senorita." she said, turning around and walking up to the steering wheel, "Rico, where we's headed." she grabbed the handles firmly, feeling the smooth wood in her palms.

"North west now, Black." he said, walking toward the crews cabin to get some food. he started to think about Black before shacking the thoughts he would never sub come to and grabbing a plate off the stack.

Black turned the wheel until the ship was sailing in a North west direction. she couldn't wait to meet Madeline, she loved sailing. the more she did it the more she learned about the ocean. one of the ships crew walked behind her, "Captain, an orders captain." she turned around, "Aye, i want to make a good impression on the other people headed the same way i'm headed, got that, so, this ship needs to be so clean that i can see my reflection in the wood." her expression was grave, to think of it, she never really smiled unless she was with someone that reach her soft center.

The Queen Anne's Revenge
They arrived at Blackbeard's island on time. She looked up at the house. Her father had strategically placed it so you could see for miles around, preventing sneak attacks. The old house held memories that made her sad. She sighed. Jimmy pulled her to him and hugged her tightly. His chin rested on the top of her head. Madeline hugged him back, burying her face in his neck. She pulled away slowly and walked up to the door. She rapped lightly on it three times. A tall manservant answered the door.
"Ms. Swords. Mr. Hartwood," he greeted them.
"I am expecting guests. Dinner is to be ready at five o'clock, sharp," she said before going upstairs to her room. Jimmy followed close behind. Madeline and Jimmy spent most of the day doing what married couples do...

Madeline checked her pocket watch. There were fifteen minutes until dinner was served. She had left notes on the bed of each captain that said dinner was to be served at five. She went down stairs to the dining room. The table setting was an elaborate mix of seasonal flowers and silver. She sat at the head of the table and kicked her feet up. This gave her the opportunity to examine her guests before they had a good look at her. Jimmy sat down at her left hand side.

The Broken Desire
A sharp whistle pierced the sound of men working. Without a moments hesitation all the crew members ran to assembly to see what their captain wanted. Zain Turpin stood his back to his crew. He turned to face them. "Now we shall be arriving to..." He turned his head and looked to his first mate. "Where are we going Kadi?" He asks boredom apparent in his voice. "It's Blackbeard's Island sir." She said quickly. Zain returned his attention to his crew. "Now as you all know I will be taking two of you with me. Seeing how Kadi has already been selected I shall also be taking Sixarms." The man Sixarms pushed his way through the crowd. As he got to the helm he whispered in Zain's ear. "Sah, dah noot that ye got declared thet ye cold only bring one persun." He took a step back just in case his news angered his captain. Zain let out a light sigh. "Very well. Then while I'm gone Sixarms is in charge and if any of you rats other than Sixarms ere think you can play captain," A grim smile formed on his lips. "He has the right to kill." Zain looks at his crew with anger in his eyes. "Well go on then! You don't get paid to stand around!" Zain walks down the stairs motioning Kadi to follow him. She runs to him quickly. "Captain? D'you think that this time we could pretend to be married?" She asks nervously. Zain opens the door to his quarters. "Only if you behave yourself."

Zain had armed himself perfectly to his standards. His rapier attached to his hip, his pistols on the back of his waist, and several throwing knives strapped to his outfit and body. Kadi on the other hand just brought her pistols. As they walked down the gangplank Kadi behind him Zain heard her give a small yelp and he heard a bang. Turning sharply drawing his rapier he saw Kadi sitting on the plank holding her ankle, her face masked with pain. "What did you do this time?" Zain says sheathing his rapier. "I think I twisted my ankle." Kadi says through gritted teeth. Letting out a low sigh Zain picks her up throwing her onto his back in a piggyback sort of style. The crew starts to cheer and yell things "Yeah that's ow to treat your wife Captin! Maybe she's fakin lemme carry er jus to be sure!" Zain shot his crew a warning glance and they became silent instantly. Zain looked up at the house. "I'm not carrying you all that way." He says as he begins to walk to the house. "Please Cappin?" Kadi began to whine. "Surely I can't do eet meself." Zain continued walking trying to hold back a smile.

Black jumped over the side of her boat when the reached land, Rico right behind her. she put a hand to her eyepatch, "Rico, when is this coming off?" she asked as the walked towards the house.

"A couple more day Black, calm down." he said, trying to catch up with her.

Black sighed,"next time you get in trouble, don't call for me, i like having two eyes thank you very much." she said, Rico had gotten into another bar fight and called on black for back up, long story short, she ended up getting her eyelid cut off. the doc put it back on, but she couldn't remove the eye patch until it had completely healed. she walked up to the house a knocked on the door, waiting for it to open.

Rico came up behind, untying the strings from his shirt, 'Black, it sure is hot here." he said, looking around the island.

Zain carried Kadi to the house with her babbling nonsense things about them getting married and having children. After a short while Zain could take no more of this. "Kadi shut up!" He yells angrily. Her words cut off instantly. "For one damn minute could you just shut up!" His anger was rising he knew better than to yell at her, Kadi was a crier. She started to sob quietly before wailing, "I can't believe you you're so mean to me!" She buried her head into his neck and began to cry harder. Zain rolled his eyes and sighed. He kept walking to the house Kadi still crying on his shoulder. After a few minutes of walking he looked up at the entrance way of the house. Spotting a couple of people he turned his head slightly. "Shut up!" He hissed. Kadi looked up and started to slow her sobs. Walking up further Zain called out to the two people. "Oi, hello there. Say would you mind giving me a hand with this un' She hurt her ankle." He shifted Kadi so that should he need to he could draw a pistol.

Madeline heard the knock on the door.
The same manservant answered the door.
"Welcome to the home of Captain Swords," he said, "please allow me to take you to the dining room, where she awaits your arrival." In the dining room, Madeline checked her watch again. There were three minutes until dinner was on the table. She leaned over and whispered into Jimmy's ear.
"Will you go get the gifts?" she kissed him after she had finished talking.
"Yes, m'lady," he replied, kissing her full on. For a moment, Madeline forgot where she was, until Jimmy pulled away. He went upstairs.
(sorry my post is so short. There's really no where I can go until everyone is at the table.)

The Crimson Lover

Rico walked inside looking around the place before sitting down.

Black turned to look at the man who yelled at her, her expression turned blank, "Sure, just give the senorita to me." she said, taking the girl from his shoulders and putting the girl on hers. she may have had a petite figure but she was strong. she carried the girl with ease into the house where she set her down in a chair, "There you go chica." she said as she walked over and sat next to Rico.

Rico looked black up and down, "Maldito, chica, it took you long enough." he smiled, knowing she would get mad at his choice of words.

Black slapped the back of his head, "Watch it chico, unless they cus in front of us, we don't cus in front of them." she said, crossing her arms, she never really liked cusing in front of people she just met.

Madeline watched as her guests entered. Captain Black appeared to be carrying another girl. She set her at the table, before smacking her first mate in the back of the head. Jimmy came down the stairs carrying six parcels and took a seat. The giant grandfather clock struck five and servants came out carrying the evening meal. The food was fit for the king. A small serving boy started at the end where Madeline was.
"Would you like a glass of wine, Madame Swords?" he asked shyly, avoiding eye contact. Madeline kicked her feet down, so that she was in view of her guests. The young boy filled her wine glass up, and went over to Jimmy and filled his up too.
"Welcome to my home. I have just three rules that you must follow. One, do not touch the artwork. Two, if you are interested in some of the artifacts, just let me know and we'll make a deal. Three, the library is off limits. When you are ready, Nathaniel will escort you to your room," she said flashing a friendly smile, "Please. Enjoy the meal my chefs have prepared for our first meeting." Jimmy dished food up for Madeline and himself. She nibbled at a potato.

As the woman took Kadi from him Zain watched as the went inside following close behind. Quickly moving a dagger from his vest to his sleeve he went to Kadi as soon as the woman set her down. Another woman appeared and as the bell chimed five several servants entered the room with platters of food. Zain looked at them all skeptically. After everyone else sat down Zain looked at Kadi and she stood quickly. The woman spoke. "Welcome to my home. I have just three rules that you must follow. One, do not touch the artwork. Two, if you are interested in some of the artifacts, just let me know and we'll make a deal. Three, the library is off limits. When you are ready, Nathaniel will escort you to your room," Zain watched as the other ate. "Come Kadi we must talk." He said softly. Following him obediently she followed.

Zain turned on her as they got away from the others. "It's nice to see how fast you've healed." He says coldly. "But capta-" She started. Zain put a finger to his lips and she stopped. "That is besides the point." He continued. "Should anything happen here you are to escape and tell the crew to depart immediately. No questions." Returning to the room he sat down without a word Kadi silently sitting next to him. Quietly Kadi grabbed a glass of wine and sipped it. After a few seconds she handed it to Zain and he took a drink and observed everyone at the table in silence.

Rico grab greedily at the food in front if him, smiling like a kid in an all you can eat candy buffet.

Black watched him eat, quickly losing her apatite, "Animal!" she whispered to herself as she grabbed Rico by the ear and asked the servant to take them to their rooms before Rico ruined anyone else apatite.

"Maldito chica, i was still eating!" Rico yelled at Black.

"AY! i know you were, but you were going to make people sick with the way you ate!" she yelled back, dragging Rico behind her by his ear as she followed the servant. he showed them to their room, and Black almost died, "No, NO, i can not share a room and bed with...... THAT!" she said, pointing towards Rico. when the servant walked away she crossed her arms and scanned the room, cringing at the thought of Rico sleeping next to her.

Rico smiled mischievously, "Could be fun Chica." giving her a wink.

Black punched him hard in the gut, making him fall to his knees, 'Pervert!" she said, sitting on the edge of the bed, 'Your sleeping on the floor chico, so get used to laying there." she smiled as she watched Rico roll around the floor clenching his stomach.
