"I really do need a new way to do this." you say out loud to yourself as you untangle your long brown hair from the bushes. You had just climbed out your window and climbed down the side of your almost castle like house. You knew exactly where the good foot holds were. Well, of course you would. You had been sneaking out of your room almost every night since you were 10, and that was 9 years ago (you're 19. Got it?). Tonight you were going to go to the local pirate bar that you normally went to. Well, you hadn't been going there when you were twelve.
~Flashback~
"Come on Mary! We're going to miss them!" your best friend, and first crush, Daniel yelled after you as he sped down the street.
"Wait for me! Mother would kill me if she knew I was running in this dress!" you yelled, trying to catch your breath. You finally got to your destination and saw the most beautiful ship you had ever seen. She was a very dark wood color and was sailing Dutch flags. But you knew better. She was a pirate ship, of course they were the people that Daniel's father would be associated with, but that is part of what made this so exciting. If your family knew what you did at night the would be horrified. "Wow." you whisper.
"She's beautiful, isn't she?" Daniel asks you.
"Yes." you say, still speechless.
"I'm going to get in with their crew! And I'll take you away and we can be the most feared pirates ever!"
"I've never heard of a woman pirate!" you say, shocked and delighted at the thought.
"Ye'll be the first one! I'll teach you how to sword fight and everything."
"You kiddies get away from here!" a gruff voice called from behind you two.
"Be careful the way you talk to a future famous pirate!" you yelled back, outraged that someone would make you leave just because you two were young. You know that if Daniel was here alone and without you, a girl, he would probably be able to stay.
"And you be careful how you be talkin' to adults!" a large man says, stepping from the shadows. He steps up to you and slaps you across the face. "'e may be a future pirate, but ye'll be a wench!" he says and laughs drunkenly. Daniel steps up to hit him or something, but you pull him away.
"Come on, you don't want to do that."
Still Flashback, but now you are 15
"Daniel...I...I..." you stutter while standing in the dark little house that he lived in.
"This be a rare moment in history! Ye have nothin' to say!" Daniel says with a smirk on his face. "All I said was I love you." he says sarcastically.
"I love you too." you say and look up into his bright green eyes. They get wide and a even bigger grin bursts across his face.
"Really?"
"Yes." you say and he grabs you, giving you the most heart stopping kiss you had ever had. Well, it was actually the only real kiss you had ever had. Soon the kisses get more rough and one of his hands goes to your thigh and one at your waist. He picks you up and puts you on the table. "Easy there." you say and laugh off your nervousness.
"Sorry." he says and puts his head on your shoulder. "Guess I got caught up in the moment."
"A little mate." You say and get down from the table. Oh, what your mother, the governor's wife, would say if she saw you here. You give Daniel a quick kiss on the cheek and leave.
A few months pass and you spend every moment you can with Daniel. He keeps bugging you to tell your parents about you two, but you just can't do it. It doesn't feel right to leave now. That's what you would have to do if you really wanted to be with Daniel. There is no way in hell that your parents would be understanding about this. One night when you are alone with Daniel in his house, he tells you something.
"I have good news." he says, forcing a smile.
"Really? You found out that you are really the king of England's son?" you ask.
"No, but almost as good. Actually... I got a job serving as a sailor in the Navy."
"Oh my. That's great!" you say and hug him. "Wait, that means that you're leaving, doesn't it?" you ask.
"Well...I'll only be gone for a couple years."
"YearSSSS!!!!!!! What if you never come back? Do you really expect me to wait for you?"
"I said I loved you!"
"I love you too. I don't know what I'm saying of course I'll wait for you." you say and smile up at him. "Here, I want you to have this." you say and take the ribbon out of your hair (Hey, I know it's lame, but its also all I can come up with right now). Daniel takes it and packs it in his bag.
"I'm leaving tonight." he says sadly.
"I'll always be here for you." you say, give him a kiss on the cheek, and leave.
Two years later you are still sneaking out of your house at night, but not just to meet Daniel. Since he went away, you've been missing the excitement that came along with seeing him. There was the chance that you would get caught, or someone would recognize you, and that's what was so great about sneaking out. You are beginning to think that maybe the only reason you thought you were in love with Daniel was the adventure, even though it wasn't a huge adventure to sneak out every night.
You keep walking along the stone road until you get to the little pub where you come every night. The owner is a woman and waves you over when you walk in.
"Where have you been?" she asks you, "they've been asking for you."
"Sorry, we had a dinner guest. Is Pete here?"
"Yeah, he's on the stage." Lila (pronounced Lie-la) says and sure enough there's Pete waiting for you. You had made a deal that if you were the entertainment for the pub that she would give you free drinks, a little money, and most important of all, not spill your secret. Pete plays the guitar and piano, and is one of your best friends. He was Daniel's best friend before you left and now you are closer to him then he and Daniel were.
"Let's hear 'Step it up Mary'!" one of the men yells, saying one of the crowds favorites. The only like it because it is one that Pete sings and you dance one, showing a lot of your legs. You roll your eyes, but Pete starts up the music, forcing you to dance a long. This ears you a lot of money from the crowd and as you are going along to collect all of the money one of the guys grab your arm.
"What do you say to going up to my room, missy?" he asks and you can smell ale on his breath.
"I say no and let go of my arm." you say and the guys let's go of you. Not because of what you asked, but because Pete is starting to walk over to where the man is sitting, looking very angry. You smirk at the man and walk back up on stage to finish your show.
The night goes well and you give all of the tips that you earned to Pete. He doesn't take them until you make him. You stuff the money in his guitar case right before he closes it, just like you do every night. You give him a triumphant smile and turn to walk over the bar. Lila gives you a mug of beer and you drink it before you head off back home.
"Hey Mary! Wait for me. You know you shouldn't be walking back alone."
"Yes, I know." you say and wait for Pete to catch up with you.
Pete walks you back home and you give him a quick kiss on the cheek, as is your custom.
"Good night Mary. Be a good girl now."
"Am I ever anything but?"
Since Daniel left you are still unmarried, but you know that is going to change soon. There is a ball coming up soon and it's the start of the season. You are getting older and you know that this is the year that your father is going to find you a husband. Probably and old friend's son who is very good looking, but a huge pig. You've been engaged twice, but once the guy was killed during a pirate raid, and the second he had been over three times your age. Your parents were worried that this might mean that no one will want to marry you, but you know that you are the most sought after woman at any of the dances. For one, your are gorgeous, and of course there is the fact that you are the governor's daughter. You hadn't heard from Daniel in a year, and are afraid that he too had been killed.
~~~~~~~
A few more days pass and the ball is tonight. You receive the dress your mother had ordered you from London and reluctantly put it on. The clothes you wore to pubs at night we so much more comfortable. Believe it or not, but the dress you were wearing now was much more low cut then the ones you wore at night. At least tonight would be a great night for sneaking out. Your parents would be smashed from all of the wine and would sleep through anything. Your maid pulls the strings on your corset and you take in a breath of air. These things were so stupid! With a corset on you looked like a stick anyway, and you really thought it was disgusting. Why a man would like a woman that was skin and bones was beyond you. Finally the time comes and your brother takes you on his arm, into the hall. Before he lets go he whispers "Be careful alright?"
"Okay, but why?"
"I'm a man. I know what they think about. I just get nervous with you around men who have been drinking for five hours."
"Glad you want to protect me." you say. Your parents would be pushing you at men all night tonight.
"Oh, yeah. And be careful if you go out tonight." he says and winks at you. You watch your brother Tom's retreating back and walk over to the table where your friends are sitting.
"Amelia, please stop staring at my brother." you say to your best friend who had been in love with your brother since the beginning of time, "it's going to make me sick."
"Let her have some fun." your other friend Abigail said, "you know she doesn't get to see him that often."
"Sorry." you say to your slightly overweight friend (at least by the standards set by society) "Guess I am being a little...well not nice." you say, determined not to swear.
"So who are you hoping to dance with tonight?" Amelia ask the both of you.
"No one." you and Abigail answer at the same time.
"There has to be someone."
"No. There is not. Would you like me to ask my brother to ask you to dance?" you ask, just like you always ask her. Her answer is always no, but you ask anyway.
"I'm feeling a bit warm. I think I'm going to go stand on the balcony." Amelia says and starts to walk over to the balcony, where sure enough, Tom is standing.
"I really hope he doesn't break her heart." Abigail says.
"Me too. He's just so blind." you say and are about to say more, when two very handsome generals come and ask you two to dance. You want to say no, but you figure that you should at least dance three times. You stand up and the general takes your hand. You find out that his name is George Hamilton and he has served in the Navy for three years. He's a bit dull, seems smitten with you so you dance with him for the next one. You tell him that you are feeling tired and decline a third, just so you can sit down and talk with Abby. You look over at the dance floor and see Tom and Amelia dancing. You heave a sigh and look over at Abby.
"I just want an adventure." you say.
"Don't we all." Abby answers back in a bored tone, staring out on the dance floor. "So how was your dancing partner?"
"Same old typical Navy man. Boring, yet charming and of course very handsome. Nothing special. No brains. Yours?"
"Same, except not charming and incredibly terrible smelling."
"Ew. Want to go walk through the garden and then say we have a headache?" you ask, following your usual routine.
"Of course." Abby says, all 6' 2'' of her rising from her seat to walk out the door.
