Daughter of Freddy Kidd

Chapter 13

Jessica: James! Where is james?

I looked around the deck desperately.

Finally, I saw him lying among the gunpowder barrels.

Jessica: James!

I yelled as I desperately ran towards him.

Jessica: Somebody help me!

Aaron ran over to us and helped James out of the barrels.

Not only was his shoulder wounded, but he was also stabbed in the chest after he fought even longer while wounded.

By this time, Shawn had also arrived and together with Aaron, they took James down to his room and laid him on the bed.

Shawn ran to get the bandages and Aaron brought a bottle of Rum.

James was in a lot of pain, but he was conscious, although he looked very weak.

The boys undressed him and made him drink the rum, which soon made him smile.

But that only lasted until I poured the rest of the rum into the wound.

Then he cried out in pain.

James: Awww!

I took his hand and looked into his eyes before I discovered a small smile on the corner of his mouth.

Then the rum followed again and I bandaged his wounds while the boys held James.

As soon as I finished the bandaging and we laid him in bed, he immediately fell asleep.

I stayed by his side, sat down in a chair, and watched him silently for a while, when the captain entered.

Dwayn: How is him?

Jessica: Not well. But he survives. He needs a long rest.

Dwayn sat across from me.

Jessica: So, what do you know about my father?

I turned to Dwayn.

Dwayn: Oh, I know all about him. I'm his biggest fan!

Jessica: Are you a fan? Sounds like he was a superstar.

Dwayn: He was the best captain. His people would have done anything for him.

Jessica: We would do everything for you too.

Dwayn pulled his lips into a smile and continued.

Dwayn: He was a famously brave and cruel pirate. But when he met your mother, his life changed.

Jessica: Do you also know about my mother?

Dwayn: Your mother was a beautiful baroness, whose favors the lords vied for.

At the same time, she was also a great adventurer and rebel.

When she found a bottle with a map on the beach, she set out to find the treasure.

But pirates followed her and attacked her when she found the treasure and captured her.

Then your father stole the treasure from the pirates, freed your mother and took her with him because he fell in love with her at first sight.

And she chose the pirate captain from among the many suitors.

Jessica: She must be out of her mind!

Dwayn: Once the king's men caught Freddy and wanted to hang him.

But your mother freed him and ran away with him.

From then on, they crossed the ocean together for years.

When they had already acquired a fabulous fortune, many people followed in their wake.

The pirates burned down the shelter where your parents were hiding and he could only save his daughter, you, from the fire.

At that, tears welled up in my eyes and Dwayn took my hand.

Jessica: Go ahead.

Dwayn: But he was also being followed so he hid the treasure in another place, made a map and hid you too.

I think in the orphanage to protect you.

He knew he would be caught.

In the end, he came face to face with the captain who killed your mother, but the only way he could finish him off was for him to die in the fight.

His famous ship, the Talisman, has not been found since then. Nor the treasures. And not even you until now.

Your parents has the most beautiful love story that has survived over the years.

Jessica: If he were still alive, my father would like you very much.

I caressed his hand.

Dwayn: And what about his daughter?

He leaned across the table and gave me a breathless kiss on my mouth.

Jessica: I know you protect me, but now I'm scared.

Dwayn: We won this time, but they'll try again soon.

We better get to the island asap. But you need to rest now Jessica.

Jessica: No!

I shook my head.

I'll stay here by his side in case he wakes up and needs anything.

Dwayn: As you wish. It's cute that you're so worried about him.

I blushed a little, and the captain left the room.

I picked up the book again and started reading, fully engrossed when I noticed James watching me.

I dropped the book on the table and hurried over to his bed.

Jessica: James, are you awake?

James smiled kindly, but when he tried to sit up I could see pain on his face.

Jessica: Wait, I'll help!

I carefully put my arms around him and helped him sit up.

James: You are my guardian angel.

Jessica: Oh, James, I was so worried about you.

Jessica: I've done everything I can, but unfortunately it's still going to take a while for you to get better.

Jessica: Would you like something to drink?

James shook his head.

James: But I know of a medicine that would fix me sooner.

Jessica: What is it, where is it?

James smiled and brushed my hair behind my ear.

James: You're the medicine, silly! Kiss Me.

Jessica: What?

I was surprised and hesitated a little, then I leaned over and gave him a small kiss on the mouth and pulled away from him.

James shook his head sadly.

James: Well, that didn't help.

I also looked down at the ground sadly, thinking that it was not good for him, and then he continued:

James: Maybe this one!

He grabbed my head and pulled me to him.

My whole body trembled as my mouth was flooded with heat from his kiss.

As he played with my tongue I even forgot to breathe.

(He is certainly feel better.)

I thought when he groaned in pain.

James: My arm!

Then I saw that I accidentally touched his arm when I tried to hug him.

Jessica: Oh, I'm sorry.

But he just smiled at me.

He has the most beautiful smile in the world, that's for sure!

James: I'm tired.

I nodded.

Jessica: You need to rest. Sleep well.

I sat back on the chair, reading on while occasionally glancing at him, until I suddenly realized that I was only staring at him.

As his silky lock of hairs rested on his face, he looked so peaceful.

His delicate skin, his lips ... (aww Jessica, you'd better read!)

I assured myself when Aaron came in.

Aaron: Jessica you need to rest too, go to bed and I'll stay here with James.

Jessica: Thanks Aaron.

Jessica: I'm really tired.

I went to my room to go to bed. I immediately fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, I woke up to someone pressing something smelly to my face, which made me completely dizzy.

I was dragged to another ship and I saw a huge explosion from our ship before I lost consciousness completely.

When I regained consciousness I was in a strange room.

I don't know how much time passed.

I tried to go out the door but it was locked so I started shouting when Ravenheart came in.

Ravenheart: So you woke up, it was about time.

Jessica: Let me go you filthy worm!

Ravenheart just laughed.

Ravenheart: You're a real little pirate like your father was.

Ravenheart: Believe me, I wouldn't have chosen this path either, but you left me no other option.

Ravenheart: We've been following you for a long time, we thought you were after the treasure and we'd just take it from you, but that donkey Lockheart didn't even know what a treasure he had in his hands.

Jessica: Don't you dare talk about him like that!

Ravenheart: Oh, love is great! Don't get your hopes up, he won't be looking for you.

Then I remembered the explosion and tears came to my eyes.

Jessica: What did you do with them, you scumbag?

I attacked the captain with all my strength, but he grabbed my wrist and pushed me on the bed.

Ravenheart: Calm down! You're not in trouble if you behave well.

He left the room and closed the door on me.

I could only cry and try to recall what could have happened, whether the others had a chance to escape, but that explosion ... it was too big!

James! Oh, James! He couldn't even get out of bed, he definitely didn't survive. And neither do the others.

Soon a man came into my room and brought food and put it on the table.

Jessica: Please, what happened to our ship? Did anyone survive?

I grabbed his arm beseechingly, but he shook me off from him.

Man: You won't survive either if you act like this.

I fell into complete lethargy. I was left alone.

I desperately tried to think of an answer to how they could survive this, but nothing came to mind.

Oh Dwayn! My little silly captain! Shawn, how you always took care of me! Poor James!- that beautiful smile of his appeared before me.

And Aaron! How jealous he always was.

I think they all loved me in their own way.

They were my family.

I felt that my life had no meaning.

Unless it's to….kill Ravenheart!

*

Suddenly I heard the lock open on the door.

Jessica: Ravenheart!

I huddled at the very end of the bed as he resolutely entered the room!

Ravenheart: Let me see the map!

Jessica: Don't get your hopes up!

Ravenheart: Either you show me so I can draw it, or everyone will stare at you the whole way to the treasure while you're naked!

His words scared me, and I started to think

Jessica: Okay, draw it.

I took off my shirt.

Ravenheart: I like that, you can be a good girl too.

He started grabbing my arm, which I immediately pulled away from him.

Ravenheart: Let's see then!

He sat across from me.

While he was drawing I thought I would use the time to find out a few things.

Jessica: If you've drawn the map, will you let me go?

Ravenheart: I can't.

Ravenheart: It's not just the map, it's you. Because you're the only one who doesn't get cursed, so you have to pick it up yourself. Then I will take it from you. Unless..

Jessica: Unless what?

Ravenheart: Your father was a sentimental fool, lost in love.

Ravenheart: The narration tells exactly that the person you love does not get cursed either. So, if you fall in love with me, that's even better.

His evil smile appeared on his face.

Jessica: That's out of the question. How could I love someone who killed my family?

Ravenheart: Come on, they were your family then, now we're going to be.

Ravenheart: We'll take care of you if you want. We'll have a fabulous fortune.

Ravenheart: And I'm sure I can show you one thing or another that your beloved captain hasn't taught you yet.

He winked at me.

Jessica: I'd rather die!

Ravenheart: As you wish. You still have time to change your mind until you have the treasure.

Then he finished the drawing and left the room.

I frantically looked around my cabin when I was alone to see if I could find something to protect myself with, to kill the captain, but I found nothing.

Then I remembered the knife I got from Shawn. It was small enough to hide, so I kept it with me at all times.

When my dinner was brought in, I took advantage of the opportunity.

Jessica: I want to talk to the captain!

Man: I'll tell him.

Soon the captain came to me.

Ravenheart: I heard you want to talk to me.

Jessica: Yes. I was thinking…Maybe still...we could get to know each other better.

I stepped closer to the captain and extended my hand to him.

Ravenheart: That speech! You've finally come to your senses.

Then he grabbed my hand and pulled me to him.

Taking advantage of this, I swung the knife with all my might to stab him in the neck, but he turned out of my hands and I only stabbed his chest.

Ravenheart: You! Two colored snake! Now you have earned my anger!

He shouted while slapping me with such force that I fell to the ground and then he took my knife.

Ravenheart: No deal from here on. If you have the treasure, you will die!

He shouted angrily and slammed the door behind him.

The knowledge that I was going to die didn't scare me.

I wouldn't have anything to live for anyway.

It just pissed me off that I was so clumsy.

I had been tossing and turning all night when I heard my door open.

I picked up the fork from the table that I had been given for dinner to protect myself from Ravenheart's visit when…….
