The Howling Ghost
The Howling Ghost was an odd vessel from appearance to crew, it's sails were blood red and all the rest black as coal, it's figurehead wasn't a mermaid, a half naked woman or anything you see everyday, it was a blindfolded men, holding a rose between his lips and a knife stuck in his chest, a member of the crew carved all by herself, cause that's one of the crew's favorite group activities, to kill men, they hardly have to kill women because there are hardly any woman at sea and most of them are in the Howling Ghost.
Today was the day the whole crew waited for three long months, shore leave, on their way to a nearby island, Lice screamed from the helm. - "Ships ahead ma'am!"- Her rough and raspy voice echoed through the whole ship, the captain woke up from a nap she didn't know she was taking in the stairs, blinked a few times to wake up and looked at Taffy who was already grabbing her spyglass.
-"One big pirate ship, and a smaller English vessel ma'am, I think they are engaging in combat."- The captain stood up, yawning and stretching. -"Let's help the pirates!"- She screamed very loudly, walking lazily around the main deck. The crew didn't move, they were not believing their ears. -"Am I stuttering?!"- She screamed after finally fully waking up and looking around, a few crew members sighed goodbye to their shore leave and did what their captain told them to, unenthusiastically. As she walked past Taffy, the girl held her arm and asked in a whisper. -"Why intervene? Our boat is already damaged, and we could lose women..."- The captain stared at the two boats ahead. -"I feel like we should…- " She stared at Taffy for a few seconds then turned back to the deck to keep screaming orders. -"The shore will be in the same fucking place tomorrow, all you have to do is survive!"-.
Taffy followed her captain from one side of the deck to the other trying to change her mind. -"Capitan, you are never this reckless, is there a reason behind this? I don't understand… The British are already on our heels… We… We barely left our last combat… This is so unnecessary!"- The woman was confused and afraid for the crew and for her captain's sanity, but Sadie was very calm, just a bit annoyed by her first mate's nagging. She sat on a box close to the handrail and started to sharpen her sword, ignoring Taffy. -"Blue!"- The first mate raised her voice but Immediately regretted it. Sadie abruptly stopped sharpening her sword and shot her eyes up to Taffy, angry and cold. -"Don't fucking call me that…"- She said in a very low voice, Taffy felt her stomach twisting. -"I...I'm sorry ma'am…"- The girl kept her eyes down until she couldn't feel Sadie's burning stare anymore than quickly left to help the crew.
----
They were all lined up now, ready to shoot each other, the British vessel strategically in the middle so if her crew and the other pirates shoot at the same time it would be an easy and quick win. Sadie's gaze traveled through the deck of the English ship to lock eyes with a man on the pirate vessel, he seemed to be alone on the main deck, she gave permission to shoot but it took a while for the other pirates to do the same.
-"Why aren't those idiots shooting?!"- She screamed, frustrated as her boat shook under her feet and Taffy pulled her out of the way of a large piece of mast that was falling. At that same instant they started to shoot. -"That's it! Let's fucking go!"- She screamed and hugged Taffy and the whole crew cheered in relief. Not long after the men were bound to sink, the shooting had stopped and they started to hop on their tenders, Sadie jumped on the handrail and held the ropes thigh, she watched and laughed from above as her crew were already pedaling towards them, mercilessly killing one by one and the ocean slowly turned red around the small boats.
Taffy called Sadie to board a tender herself and check the vessel before it sank, with them were Sissy and Mouse, the few men who were still on board were quickly attacked and killed, but Sadie didn't partake in the fun, all she could do was look at the other boat, where the crew was celebrating, hugging each other and waving at her.
She furrowed her eyebrows as she waved back, awkwardly.
The captain noticed when the screams, swords clashing and blood spilling noises stopped and turned to look at the mess. -"Wanna look around for loot ma'am? We have to be quick, we are sinking fast."- Sissy asked from across the deck, cleaning her sword. -"Just a quick look, I really wanna go there..." Sadie answered, pointing at the happy pirates in front of them. After quickly filling a bag with goods they hopped back on their dinghy and made their way to the other ship.
As they peddled the crew started to lean over to look at their helpers, as they got closer the men gradually stopped waving, cheering and smiling, when they were close enough to climb on board the men were speechless, just staring, mouths agape. -"My captain would like to board your ship!"- Taffy demanded, standing, while Sadie waved, and the other girls just analyzed the pirates above. After an awkward silence a blonde, well dressed man spoke with a very happy and energized tone, looking around for the approval of the crew. -"Of course ladies, you are now very welcome on The Revenge!"- He was all smiles but the girls could clearly hear the crew booing and hissing.
They all boarded anyway and took a quick look around, the men stared at them and whispered to each other. -"Let me introduce you to my crew!"- The blonde man said, adjusting his long coat, making his hair bounce. He introduced himself first, Stede Bonnet, then he introduced another man, Ed and explained they were Co-Captains, the bearded man seemed to blush a little as he half raised a hand for a shy hello, Stede talked for a while about himself and his ship, then turned to his crew. -"Come on guys, who is next?"- Stede asked and the silence was deafening. -"I've heard that Frenchie! They are not mermaids, that's nonsense!"- Stede got into silly arguments after silly arguments with his crew as Sadie and the girls looked around, it was a gorgeous ship, Sadie noticed it was clearly made from scratch, every detail carefully planned, yet the crew was so unprepared and the Captain undeniably
-"Odd…"- She whispered to herself when her eyes met him after looking all around the ship, he was still trying to reason with the crew, her gaze suddenly went up, she could feel someone looking at her, at that moment she noticed the man who she locked eyes all the way from her ship standing alone on the quarter deck, just watching them.
They stared at each other for a moment then she turned to Stede again and slowly approached him. -"An introduction won't be necessary, Captain Bonnet, all I wanna know is which one of you pretty boys is going to repair my ship?..."- She asked, staring at him, eyes peering up from beneath her eyebrows, Stede whimpered and forced a smile. Ed stepped forward and pushed Stede to stand behind him. -"We didn't ask for your help, you fix your own boat."- He was so close she could feel his breath, she exhaled a laugh, pulled him by the beard and grabbed her dagger, Ed quickly held her wrist, stopping the dagger from getting closer to his face, the whole crew was a screaming mess, the ones who tried to approach were held back by Sadie's girls, meanwhile the man was laughing under her grasp. -"Ed, stop laughing! We'll do whatever you want! Just let him go!"- Stede screamed, hysterical.
-"Let him go and drop the dagger!"- Sadie felt the cold metal of a sword against her neck and a tingling in her stomach from the raspy voice talking to her. As soon as she let go of Ed, Stede quickly pulled him and cupped his face with both hands. "Oh God! Are you hurt?!" She heard as she turned to face the swordsman, putting her dagger back in place. -"Hello there…"- She said, smirking. -"Get off this ship, now!" - He commanded. -"I already have a deal with your captain… He said he is going to do whatever want… Right?"- She looked at Stede, but he was too occupied caressing Ed's beard with both hands. -"Right Captain?!"- She asked louder. -"Yes, let her go Izzy…"- The blonde man answered without taking his eyes from Ed, but Izzy didn't put down his sword. -"Let her go Iz…"- Ed whispered and only then he did as told, Sadie chuckled and stared at Izzy, he stared back, after a few seconds Stede cleared his throat and turned to them. -"Let's talk in my cabin… That's enough conflict for today, we can resolve this otherwise!"- He cringed at their staring contest as he spoke. -"As you wish Cap…"- Sadie said, cocky, winking at Izzy before following the captains into the cabin, before the door closed she took one last peek at Izzy who was still looking at her.
In the quarters Stede sat down on the sofa and offered to fix her boat if she apologized to Ed, the girl was perplexed, but reluctantly apologized, she and Ed shook hands, Sadie was looking around the cabin as Stede talked to Ed about how he shouldn't laugh in situations like that and how worried he was for his well being, Ed laughed softly and told Stede he missed being confronted, their voices were sweet to each other, loving even, that was all too weird, they weren't being rude or loud, they weren't threatening her, they were welcoming and talkative since her crew boarded, even after her being a twat they were being nice and that was a huge contrast with her reality, that was scaring her more than a near death experience. -"Are you fucking with me?…"- She looked at them confused and asked, interrupting whatever they were giggling about. -"Are you actually this… Sweet?"- The words came out before she could think of maybe not saying that and that made her blush. Ed smiled at the gentleman and Stede looked flattered.
-"Polite menace, that's my brand!"- He looked at her and said with a proud smile, Ed sat on the couch beside Stede, arm around his shoulders, proud as well. Sadie disassociated, all went black around her and suddenly she was holding hands with her father, walking on a field.
-"You have to be polite with your colleagues, Blue…"- His voice was calm and soothing. -"I always have to be polite! I hate them, I want to be a menace, I want them to fear me!"- She answered, holding back tears. -"They are weak hearted, unloved. You can't let yourself get corrupted by their behavior, you are stronger than this!"- He said worried. -"They keep making fun of my mother's death…"- Sadie stopped walking and pressed his hand, throat hurting from holding her tears. He crouched down to be at eye level with her, hands on her shoulders. -"I'm so sorry baby…"- He wiped her tears as they started to fall, she pushed his hands away gently and looked down. -"I'm stronger than this!"- She said to herself, he got back up chuckling. -"That's the spirit! Louder now!"- He said happily. She looked up at him to see his smile but the sun was too bright, she blinked and was back on the Revenge.
-"Sadie?... Hello?"- Stede's voice hit her the same moment a strong wave shook the ship and she fell down on her side, blinking, still searching for her father. -"Goodness, are you alright?''- Stede quickly got up and bent in front of her, extending a hand. Sadie finally woke up, once again that day, and was embarrassed to be on the floor. -"I'm fine…"- She said, angry, she looked at his hand and took a quick look at Ed, who was also standing, worried, ready to help if needed. -"I'm… fine…"- She said again, in a soft whisper and accepted his help. That was an odd feeling, but deep down, she missed being treated with kindness. -"There we go! I'll go grab a glass of water…"- He looked at her softly and left, quick on his feet, Sadie genuinely smiled, looking at him. -"He is great isn't he?"- Ed said, walking towards the window to check the weather, she nodded, enjoying her own smile. -"Look…"- She turned to him. -"I'm really sorry about the beard…"- She scratched her neck, embarrassed and looked into his eyes, they were kind. -"It's alright mate, don't even worry about it!"- He smiled and so did his eyes, he looked so sweet Sadie had to look away. -"But if you do it again I'll kill you…"- He gnarled. She looked back at him quickly, frowning. -"Threat me again and I'LL kill YOU!"- They stared at each other, then Ed started wheezing. -"I like you Sadie!"- He slapped the air, laughing. Sadie laughed awkwardly at first then laughed for real.
Stede came back with the water and Sadie drank it in one sip then apologized and made a counter offer, she offered to pay his men for their help and insisted, Stede liked that idea, mainly because he knew their men wouldn't want to board her ship for free.
They chatted and he showed her around the cabin. She didn't touch a book in so long it was embarrassing, she enjoyed the smell and checked nearly every title, Stede watched happily and Ed drank a cup of tea, it was the most fascinating thing she'd ever seen floating on the ocean. When they left the sun was setting. The girls walked towards her, curious. -"What the fuck took you so long? You were all banging in there?!"- Taffy asked, fuming with rage, tired of being on that ship. -"That would be nice, but no, we were talking… Know what that is?"- Sadie said blushing a bit, Taffy cringed at that sight, she swore the last time she saw Sadie blush was over a decade ago.
-"Captain… I think this is enough "negotiating" for a day, we should get some sleep…"- Her first mate suggested, looking deep into Sadie's eyes, anxious for the right answer to come out of her mouth. -"Sure, let's bounce, let me say goodnight…"- She said, turning back to the Co-Captains. "Say goodnight?! What the fuck…" Taffy thought her captain was sick, or perhaps dehydrated. Stede met her halfway and said, cheerfully. -"You should stay for dinner to settle our partnership...Right crew?"- He looked around all happy, Ed was happy with the gentleman's happiness, couldn't stop caressing his shoulders with the most soft look in his eyes as the blonde spoke, the crew answered with a crooked cheer and some whispers, they weren't comfortable with them at all, Mouse heard some of them saying a mean thing about her and looked around hissing, grabbing the dagger from her waistband, the crew gasped and awkwardly tried to hide behind a crew member, who was also holding a dagger.
Sadie walked towards the woman with large steps. -"Bad girl, Mouse! Bad girl!"- Sadie pulled the girl by the ear. -"Should I make you go to shore swimming... Is that what you want?"- The woman screamed the question, the Revenge's crew was frozen in place, watching that bizarre scene, the only one who wasn't bothered was Izzy, he felt seduced by that side of her, even when he was protecting Ed earlier that day, deep down he felt like letting her do her thing, just so he could watch. Mouse made a few noises like a whining dog, looking up at her Capitan. Sadie released the girl, caressed her earlobe and gave light slaps on her cheek while looking back at Stede smiling. -"We accept your invitation, Captain Bonnet."- The man whimpered and gave her a forced smile.
----------
They were all waiting for the food and chatting, sitting around a long wooden table below deck, the girls were sitting next to Sadie, just looking around and answering any question monosyllabically. Sadie on the other hand was laughing at the crew's stories, asking about them, telling about her and gladly answering their questions.
-"How did you become a pirate?"- Frenchie asked, a bit shy. -"Oh that's a lovely story! My husband bought my sweet Ghost to fix it and resell it, that was his job, you know, but he died right after it was all ready. Can you believe it?.."- Sadie was looking at Frenchie acting like she was sad, when Taffy smirked and said. -"She killed him on board and took the ship..." - She couldn't even finish the sentence without laughing shyly, looking at Mouse.
-"Oh!" - Stede put a hand on his heart. -"That's quite a story..."- His voice was a bit high pitched and his eyes wide, he looked at Ed to calm himself down, Ed grabbed the hand from his heart and squeezed a little, placing it back on the table.
-"I still have the ring!"- Sadie raised a necklace and laughed loudly, the other woman chuckled. The crew looked around and forced a laugh, a bit awkward, Ed found it funny, he was genuinely laughing with them while holding Stede's hand to assure him they were all just having fun. -"And you, boy! What are you doing in that corner?"- Sadie asked, pointing at Lucius who wasn't sitting at the table but on a barrel at the far end of it. -"This is all too perfect! I'm sketching everything!"- He said in an amazed tone, eyes on the notebook. Sadie nodded content and raised her glass to click with Stede's.
-"How about the story from the day I sank 3 ships with the help from the Queen Anne's, eh?" Sadie took a sip waiting for the usual cheers that follows whenever she brings that story to any table but all she heard was an awkward silence. -"We… Can have the two sides of the story then..."- Black Pete said looking and pointing at Ed. Sadie looked around confused, darting her eyes between Pete and Ed. The bearded man looked a bit flustered, she did the math while looking at his beard. -"Oh my God...Ain't.no.way…"- Her heart was racing as she put her glass down with so much force it could have broken in her hand. -"Ten long years at sea and this is how I finally met Blackbeard?!"- The woman stood up and looked at him. Ed was feeling a bit uneasy. Should he have been more frightening? Was she thinking he was a softie? A fake, a myth? -"This is absolutely brilliant!"- He shot his eyes up and she was walking towards him with her arms open, he chuckled shyly to himself, now it was his turn to look at Stede for comfort, the gentleman smiled and nodded to him, gently squeezing his knee under the table.
-"Bloody hell, this is fantastic!"- She was beside him, arms still wide open, he got up awkwardly and hugged her, she held him so tight he coughed, the other girls were stunned, Mouse was covering her mouth in shock, Sissy was pinching herself and Taffy was wondering how they were still alive. -"I must apologize about the beard again mate, this is a legendary beard, I'm sorry to even touch it!"- She looked at his beard like it was made of gold, eyes shining. -"It's fine mate, it's still glued to my face isn't it?"- He slapped her shoulder and she hugged him again. -"I'm sorry…"- She pulled back quickly and felt her face go red, Sadie walked back to her spot and slapped Taffy's back. -"Way better than lame ass shore leave, am I right?"- The woman said and sat back down, a couple minutes passed and the food was there.
Roach brought large trays of food proudly and winked at Mouse everytime he placed one down, she just stared at him, eyes wide and face red. As they filled their plates, Ed started to tell the story Sadie mentioned, and she finished his sentences, adding her point of view. They all cheered as if it was happening in front of them, the night went on like that, full of stories, laughter and a lot of rum and wine.
The moon was high in the sky when slowly one by one said their goodnighs and left the table to find their beds, until there was just Taffy asleep on the table, head on her crossed arms, Mouse asleep on the bench with her head on Taffy's legs, and Sissy asleep sitting on the floor leaning on a barrel. Sadie was awake saying goodbye to the last crew member that stayed a bit longer to have a private talk with her, Jim.
A while after saying goodnight to Jim, Sadie decided to finish a bottle of wine looking at the stars and pondering about the crazy day she just had, so she climbed back to the main deck, then to the quarter deck and finally to her favorite spot, the poop deck. She relaxed there, leaning against the rails, humming some sea shanties, drinking and remembering every second of the day. She heard footsteps and turned around to see who it was, it was Izzy.
-"Hello..."- She said, analyzing his face. -"Hello..."- He said, looking up and down her body.
-"Nice voice..."- She said, sitting on the railings and offering him the bottle. He took it and sighed, leaning his forearms on the railings. -"Your plan to sink that English vessel was nearly perfect, you just didn't expect this crew to be so slow, nearly had to beg for them to shoot, think' it was their first time…"- He took a sip.
-"Thanks Izzy, if they waited a second longer my ship could've been the one on the bottom of the sea right now…"- She looked down at him, checking the bridge of his nose, his tattoo and his hair.
He looked up at her.
-"Odd things are drawn into this hellship."- He said, taking another sip and looking back into the horizon. She chuckled.
-"You think I'm odd Izzy?…" - Sadie asked, analyzing his face but he refused to look at her, just nodded. He took a third sip and handed the bottle to her. She gave him a smirk and grabbed the bottle, running her fingers over his on purpose, he felt his neck going hot. -"I'm Sadie, Captain of the Howling Ghost..."- She took a sip pointing at the black ship not so far away.
-"Female pirates… What's not odd about that? I've heard my men commenting about your stories after Stede's stupid dinner party..."- He huffed and shook his head while standing back up.
-"You don't think I'm a real pirate?"- She laughed and jumped down the railing to stand right in front of him. -"If those stories are true, you are one hell of a captain…"- He looked at her, they were standing a bit too close. -"If they are true?..."- She closed the gap between them even more. -"You want me to make you cry for mercy, Mr.Hands? To prove myself?"- She whispered in his ear and he pushed her away so hard her back hit the rails and she had to hold on to it otherwise she would have fallen overboard, she threw her hair back and looked at him.
-"Fuck off!"- He spit on the floor next to her boots, she smirked and kicked him in the stomach, when he bent forward she grabbed his hair and forced him to straighten up pushing him to lean on the ropes. -"How about a quicky, old salt?" - She said, face inches away from his, a tight grip on his hair, he felt his knees going weak but didn't let her notice.
-"Go on, big scary man, grab your sword!"- She said mockingly, he just growled and looked at her, she let go and walked a step back, smiling. -"I've been a pirate for 10 long years love, rather you like it or not..."- She caught a glimpse of him looking at her mouth. -"Like what you see?"- She asked and showed her tongue before laughing at him. He just huffed and walked away. -"Bitch..."- He said under his breath but Sadie heard and walked down the stairs behind him, on the last step she kicked him square in the back and he fell face first on the quarter deck, she jumped on his back pulling his arms to his sides and kneeling on them while drawing his sword and throwing on the other side of the deck, Sadie then leaned forward and pulled his hair back once again, forcing his face to stay right beside hers and placed her dagger on his Adam's apple.
-"What did you just call me?"- She whispered. He growled and tried to free himself, that only made her pressed the dagger a bit more, and asked again. -"What did you just call me?"-
He huffed in pain.
-"I'm going to kill you and all your fucking crew!"- His voice was shaking with rage.
-"No you are not... You are going to be a very good dog and do exactly as I tell you... Aren't you?"- She asked kissing the tattoo on his cheekbone, she then let go of his hair and pushed his face into the deck, he managed to look at her from above his shoulders, peeking from between her fingers, he felt his cock getting harder in his pants and cursed himself, she leaned forward again and bit his ear. -"Answer dog!"-
He answered in a whisper. -"Yes, yes I will!"- She got up with a jump and he got up slowly, back turned to her, he sighed angrily while fixing himself in his pants, then turned to her. -"Fuck you!"- He gritted, face red with embarrassment. -"Whenever you want…"- She smirked and winked at him, then happily made her way back where her crew was, and without a care in the world lay down on Taffy's leg like Mouse and fell asleep. She couldn't be happier for changing her course to help this ship, this crew. Tomorrow was shore leave and she couldn't wait.
Meanwhile Izzy slammed the door to his room and sat on his bed, embarrassed, angry and hard as a rock. It had been a long time since someone treated him like that and he cursed himself everyday for longing for this kind of treatment, but he couldn't help it, he loved it.
----------
Everyone was up with the sun, doing their tasks all around the ship. Sadie woke up and her girls weren't there, she sat on the bench and rubbed her eyes. -"Hi... Hello... I came to check on you..."- She slowly opened her eyes to see who it was, it was Swede, she waved slowly with one hand and with the other keep rubbing one eye. -"Hello Swede, good morning..."-
He smiled and ran back up.
She climbed to the main deck and stood there for a while for her eyes to adjust to the morning sun then walked towards the captain's quarters. She knocked and had no response. Again this time saying knock knock with the knocks, nothing, she tried the door and it was unlocked, so she decided to walk in. -"Capitan Bonnet! Captain Teach!"- She called out in a singsong tone and walked in and for a moment forgot why she was there, seeing that cabin for the second time somehow seemed more charming, that beautiful place hit hard nostalgic notes and she couldn't help but feel like a child again, exploring a ship for the first time, going to balls with her father and walking in rooms she shouldn't, all those memories were so buried inside her she didn't even know they existed anymore, as she turned to the bed, the curtains were closed so she focused her eyes to try to see behind it and she saw Stede and Ed sitting on the bed, kissing, quite passionately, her eyes quickly looked away and she sucked in air and held it in trying not to gasp but gasping anyway, she gave a large step back, let out the air silently and called out again, her voice very shy this time.
-"...Capitans...- She heard the man moving around and whispering curses and giggles. -"Come in!"- Stede said with a very shaky voice, she was already there so she just took one step forward.
-''I… I wanted to invite you and your crew to join us on our shore leave today, foods and drinks on me..."- She said, looking at the library, pretending she didn't see anything, suddenly the curtain opened, with a quick swift motion, and there stood Stede, smiling, face red as a tomato. -"We would love to! Right Ed?!"- The gentleman was beaming with happiness but his lover was looking out the window with a cushion on his lap. -"Erm... Yeah sure, whatever..."- He answered, clearly frustrated. Sadie could taste the embarrassment in his voice. -"Go tell the crew, we leave once I've changed!"- Stede's smile was so bright she could feel it tickling her heart strings. "What a distinguished man" she thought as she left the cabin, she hated nobles, soft bellies and rich folks, but calling him that would be sacrilege, he was adorable.
Before telling his crew she looked for hers and they weren't there, Sadie sat on the stairway to the helm and her mind started wondering into dark territory, she caught Izzy staring at her from across the deck, she stared back and her mind changed course and now she was wondering into horny territory, she was thinking if he was a good kisser, its been a long while since her last kiss, before she could wonder if he was a good fuck, she heard. -"They're back on yer ship lady..."- Buttons was on top of the stairs with a seagull on his head. -"They asked me to tell you they left to check on yesterday's damage."- Sadie relaxed a bit, plus she really enjoyed listening to him talk. -"Thank you Buttons..."- She looked at him upsidedown, almost putting the crown of her head on the step behind her. -"Who is that?"- She asked while getting her head back up and properly turning to look at him. -"His name is Karl"- He tried to look at the bird in his head. -"Cool…"- She smiled with her lips.
Not long after, Taffy climbed back on board. -"Let's go ma'am, why are you still here, the girls are waiting for you for our shore leave!"- She said daring to be happy and at the same instant Stede burst out of his quarters. -"I'm ready!"- He almost sang. -"They are going with us aren't they?"- Taffy asked terrified, straddling the handrail of the ship. -"I've kinda invited them…"- Sadie said bashfully and Taffy growled loudly looking at the sky for a much needed clarity. -"I've brought your stuff ma'am…"- Taffy handed Sadie a bag and when her captain grabbed it she didn't let go and just stared at her, trying to read her mind, with a light sorrow in her eyes.
After telling the crew the big news and waiting for them to grab some stuff and change, they were off.
On land Sadie was excited, holding onto her purse like she was carrying some secret.
-"Stede and crew… May I have a word?"- She was standing on his left and Ed on his right. -"Of course Sadie, what's on your mind?"- He extended his arm a bit to her side so they both could stay under his parasol. She reached into her purse and gave Stede a purse full of doubloons and told him she wanted that back empty, and that was an order, their reactions were even better than she was expecting, priceless, even Stede and Ed were pretty stoked, she wished she could make a portrait of that moment, but instead she tried to decorate every little thing and make the portrait in her mind, she was soaking up on that fuzzy feeling the Revenge's crew gave her, their smiles, their tenderness, their peculiarities, their stupidity, it was all so lovable, her crew was cold and bloodthirsty, she would be lying if she said she didn't love that too, but she just wanted to feel a little bit more of that warmth before they inevitably go on different paths.
Everyone was cheerfully planning on what to do, both the crews were talking since the girls knew that island and its hot spots, most of Sadie's crew were enjoying their Captain's generosity because that wasn't common and if that means having a day with a bunch of weirdos, so be it.
Once everything was settled both crews walked towards the city and Sadie towards the woods, Taffy insisted on going with her but she said she needed some time alone, and told the girl to go have fun, after insisting and assuring her first mate that she was going to be okay, the girl left her Capitan.
After around 40 minutes walking in the woods Sadie found what she was looking for, a river with a waterfall and large rocks all around, she had bathed in that river a few times already, it was becoming a special place for her. She was only wearing a large white shirt with fluffy sleeves and underwear when she heard branches breaking. -"Taff, I told you to leave me alone..."- She rolled her eyes and looked to see where the noise was coming from. -"Well, I brought two towels, since you are already here, might join in..."- She smiled and started to unbutton her shirt, no one answered and she felt a bit uneasy, but she trusted her guts when it told her it was probably just a wild animal.
After undressing completely she jumped in the cold water, she came back up and looked around, nothing. Sadie kept swimming and floating around, eventually climbing on the rocks to jump back in, having fun, unwinding. She didn't know that the steps she heard belonged to Izzy, not any wild animal, the man followed her with the intention of fighting her, maybe to the death, but when he saw her taking her clothes off he hid behind a three and froze, to nervous to look at her, to nervous to walk away. He closed his eyes and hit the back of his head on the tree. "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" Was all he could think. Sadie started to sing and he felt his whole body shiver with goosebumps while his head moved by itself like he was being controlled to peek from behind the tree. She was floating around, singing, he hid again and closed his eyes, frustrated.
Behind his eyelids he started to remember her pulling his hair, kissing his cheek and calling him dog, he thought of the pain of her knees on him and started to get hard again, he couldn't control his hand and when he noticed he was opening his pants and pulling it out, he took another peek this time holding his member and she was on a rock, preparing to jump back in, her bare back turned to him, he exhaled a moan and started stroking his cock, he leaned his head on the tree and lost himself in his strokes, he was trying his best to hold his moans as he took another peek and she had only her eyes out of the water, looking straight into his eyes, he turned back quickly and before he could put a thought together long ropes of cum were coming out, his knees were weak and he was moaning loud, he banged his head against the tree as he stroked himself slower, coming down from his strong and sudden orgasm.
Sadie was smiling underwater, still looking at the tree he was hiding behind. When reality hit, his whole body went from soft to tense. He quickly adjusted himself and stared at nothing, for a moment he believed in mermaids, because why would he do such a thing? Why was he so drawn into her? He couldn't move. Maybe she wasn't looking at him? He stayed gazing at nothing for a few minutes, thoughts rushing through his head, he took a deep breath and gathered the courage to look, and there was no sign of her, no clothes on the rocks, no bag, no nothing. -"What the fuck?!"- He walked closed, unbelievingly, he got close enough to look into the water, nothing. He took another deep breath and decided to meet his crew in the city, to forget what just happened completely. -"I need a fucking drink…"- He whispered to himself.
