Chapter One -Part Two-

The cavern. Music blaring. Crowds talking. Pirates slopping down rum and sharpening weapons. Respected men, on studies, quietly sitting in the corners of the room, trying to escape the noise.
“Lassie!!” Drunken, oversized, called out.
The prisoner turn, insulted in a way.
“Why ye hanging with the landlubber!!” He was practically screaming at the top of his lungs.
It rolled its eyes and followed the Professor quietly behind, squeezing through the crowds.
“Wait here.” The Professor told. It watched her walk up to the counter, whispered a word or two to the bartender and signalled for it to follow as she entered the wooden door leading away from all the commotion.
“Prof.” The prisoner whispered.
Professor Louisa IV ignored. Instead she walked up to someone sitting by the oil lamp. Shook hands and sat beside her.
“This is Captain Tuna Whiskers XV.” She introduced the girl in crimson. He hair laid about shoulder length, curled at the ends. Her cutlass laid beside her. She stood.
“And who this matey be?” She pointed.
“This-” Professor spoke.
“Captain Felix III. Scourge of the seven seas.” She tipped her hat.
“Ahhh...so I’ve heard.” Captain Tuna went back tied her cutlass around her waist, put on her hat. She straightened her clothes and buckled in her pistols. Her boots met her pants at her knees.
“Shall we Professor?” Somewhat she ignored Captain Felix.
She lead the way out the back door.
“We set sail by the break of dawn.” She set.
Captain Felix cleared her throat. The Professor spoke. “We don-”
“No boat, matey.” Captain Felix cut in.
Captain Tuna laughed a bit. “Ye running a rig on me aye?”
“I ain’t, bucko” Captain Felix shook her head.
On hearing that, Captain Tuna grabbed Professor Louisa by the collar with a dagger to her neck.
“Why I oughta blow this man down send ye scurvy to Davy Jones for good!!”
The pistol clicked. Aimed directly at Captain Tuna’s head, Captain Felix spoke, “Betcha ye be going to Davy Jones before Prof.”
She stared through the corner of her eye. “Captain Felix III, scourge of the seven seas, scallywag, I’ll make ye walk the plank after me blow this man down.”
The Professor spoke in stutters. “We can just get a ship and-”
Captain Tuna yanked at her. “Aye! That be good!” She rolled her eyes. “If me had loot!!!!!!!!!! Me ain’t got loot.”
Professor Louisa stood almost off the ground. Captain Felix still held the pistol to her head, fingering the trigger.
“Lass, put the landlubber down.” Captain Felix calmed her tone. Hoping to stop the insanity.
Captain Tuna slowly lowered down her dagger and released Professor Louisa. The professor ran behind Captain Felix just in case.
Captain Tuna had a grin. “Mate, dead men tell no tales, now do they?” With that she plunged her dagger into Captain Felix’s abdomen.
“Ahhhhhhhhhh!!” Captain Felix held on to where she was stabbed. The professor aided but couldn’t do much.
“Better luck next time, bucko.” Captain Tuna began to walk away.
She turned and continued. “Pppffftttt!! Ye ain’t the scourge of the seven seas no more. Ye going to Davy Jones!!!” Then added with a cackle.
Professor Louisa, worried as hell, tried to help. “Felix. Felix. You a’rite?”
Captain Felix stood, though still holding on to the area she got stabbed. “CAPTAIN FELIX to ye!!!!”
“Kay. Kay.” Captain Felix went back to bending down in pain.
Weakly standing up, Captain Felix spoke. “Aye!!! Captain Tuna, ye scumbag!”
The professor worried about Captain Felix’s condition, tried to see, but Captain Felix brushed her off.
Captain Felix yanked out the dagger. “Ahhhh!!! FUCK!!!!”
“Me rum!!” The dagger hit her canister she used to keep her rum, putting a hole into it.
Captain Tune looked back and sweared. “FUCK!!!”
Captain Felix pulled out her canister, shook it to see if there was any left. And threw the canister aside. She wiped her lips and clicked her pistol to Captain Tuna’s head again.
“Even if ye stood there, I send ye to Davy Jones!”
The Professor rolled her eyes.
“Alright already!!! Stop with the Davy Jones threats!! No one’s going to Davy Jones!! Not today!! Not tomorrow!! Not ever!! Captain Tuna Whiskers XV get over here!! Captain Felix III put away your pistol before I crush it!!”
Sternly she ordered and screamed at the both of them.
“Aye, prof.” Captain Felix shoved her pistol back to where they came from.
Captain Tuna reluctantly walked back.
Before she reach, Captain Felix asked, “Prof, Ye can’t have two captains on one ship ye know...”
“Of course I can!!!”
“Naye, Prof, Naye. There’d be a munity, except it’s capitan on capitan.” Captain Felix shook her head.
“Ye cowardly swab!!!” Captain Tuna remarked as she rejoined them.
