My smirk never died even as he shoved me under deck. I was proud of my role play. Maybe that boy would leave me alone if I became a pirate. Maybe I could even kill him. My blood thirst unlike everything else was not an act.
I found though that when I was shoved under deck I was among other pirates. I backed away from them, they were filthy. After what seemed like too long I saw a ladder come down and heard someone yell down "c'mon not Wendy. Captain wants to see you." And I hastily climb the ladder, and reach the deck above. All pirates at work. The Captains 2nd in command pulls me by my arm and I elbow him in the face.
"No one touches me. Ever." I say and head to what looks like the Captain quaters. He looks surprised when I come in. "Where the hell did Smee go?" He ask me and I just smile. "Oh, well he tried to touch me, and I guess he took a little spell and fell to the floor." I say and James walks up close to me.
"We may be pirates, but we don't lie. And we don't hurt our other crew mates." He says and I just question him. "Why must you tell me this?" I ask him and he spins away from me on his heel. "You wanted to be a pirate didn't you? You gotta learn the rules." He says and now we are both smiling.
