Yet another boring evening at the Hallamore house. Valeria sighed as she looked down at the necklace in her hand; it had a sole, round blue gemstone that matched her eyes attached to the chain that shimmered in the moonlight. Her father had given the necklace to her, which had been given to him by her pirate uncle. Only a few times had she actually seen said uncle, yet she remembered him well.
Just looking at the necklace made her want to go adventuring. "To hell with what my mother says. The next ship that makes port... I'll be on it." She stood up and looked out the window. Her home was just across the street from the docks which were also conveniently right next to a tavern. "Hmm, I wonder if I can finally find some pirates tonight." If the day ever came Valeria had anything she might need already packed and ready to go. A bit silly for a girl like her, but she could always dream.

Barbossa was on the run again with Jack's Pearl. Being human and having human needs now was new to him, almost strange. He walked onto Tortuga, every pirate's favorite place. He was thirsty for rum and pleaserable company. Drunken men and saughty wenches were everwhere and pistol shots ran out occasonally. Laughter was all around him and the smells of bad order and liquor. He kept a low profile, not really talking to anyone, just keeping his mind about his own business and pushed the doors to a smoke filled tavern and strode inside.

Out of the corner of her eye Valeria saw what looked like a pirate hat, making her gasp. Quickly, she grabbed her bag, which was fairly small, easy to carry and miraculously fit everything she needed inside, heading out her front door and sneaking over to the tavern. Her plan: find the pirate, watch him, then finally sneak onto his ship right before he left the building. Feeling like a kid in a candy store, Valeria quietly made her way inside, eyes darting around until she finally found the pirate, keeping a close watch on him at a safe distance.

Barbossa ordered several drinks and downed them and then left, feeling pleasently drunk. He pulled out a green apple and brushed it off on his black coat and bit into it, slowly making his way to the Pearl.

Valeria hurried out after him. She was quite fast and managed to board his ship before he arrived. Spotting the stairs, she hid underneath them, heart pounding in her chest.

Barbossa barked out orders to set sail and finished off his apple and then chucked the core into the ocean and headed into his Captain's Cabin, walking right past the stairs, almost close enough to touch.

'He's the captain??' She thought to herself, seeing his face closer than she had before, ducking a bit lower as to not be seen.

Jack, the monkey, suddenly lept in after Barbossa, but not before stopping at the stares and looking at the girl and hissing before bounding into the Captain's Cabin.
Starry had disqused herself as a crew member of Barbossa's. As usual, she was after Jack's compass for her own private affairs. She knew wherever the Pearl was, Jack would surely follow after it to get it back. All she had to do was wait for the oppertune moment to swipe and jump ship. She kept to herself, scrubbing the deck with the others, her hair braided in a tight braid.

'It's only a matter of time before I'm found. I would rather be enjoying this freedom than running from it. Need to think what to do...' Valeria thought of possibly disguising herself, but it would hide her figure. It might be her only option. 'There must be another way...'

Starry looked up out at the horizon and whipped her forehead with the back of her hand. She might be a pirate but even she had certain standars for personal hygiene. It constantly amazed her how they could stand it. Suddenly she thought she saw a dark shape coming towards them. She smirked as she insantly recoginized who it was. Jack Sparrow come to get his beloved Pearl back.
