Intro: When Ruby Hurst was eight years old, her British colony of Port Kennicot was attacked by pirates. They captured Ruby and brought her back to their ship. Their Captain, Sara Ockley, kept her on the ship and Ruby grew up under Sara's teaching and by the time she was 16, she had a boat of her own. Ruby soon became one of the most feared female pirates of the Caribbean. After word had gotten to her that Sara Ockley had been hanged, Ruby decided she would make it up to Sara and be not only one of the only female Captain's, but take a young girl, just like Sara had done, teach her to become the most feared pirate when Ruby passed on. So, with that, she went back to her home, Port Kennicot and took a young girl, about 8 years old, Sephora Arthur, onto her ship to pass on what she knew.

Chapter 1

Ruby's hands gripped the edge of the boat as she leaned over the edge, trying to stare past the horizon. She put a hand on her black floppy hat with the dark red feather as the wind tried to blow it away and sighed, walking back up to the deck where Sephora was steering the ship. She put a hand on her shoulder. "You can go, I think that's enough for today," she said, taking the wheel. Sephora stepped aside, the wind whipping her long, straight, red hair across her face.

"Ruby, where are we going?" Sephora looked out across the ocean in front of them. Ruby just shrugged.

"Where ever there's gold, love," she answered, pulling out her compass from its pocket in her big, brown, leather belt that held her pistol and her sword. She rubbed a finger over her big ruby ring and looked down at Sephora, smiling a little.

Everything Sephora wore was Ruby's. Unless they had just 'borrowed' a few things from a village or two, then Sephora almost always got a new ring or something. Ruby and Sephora dressed kind of the same, except that Ruby was always wearing red, while Sephora loved blue, like the ocean. Under her bulky belt, Ruby wore a long, ruffle-y, white skirt and crimson shirt with long, baggy sleeves. She always wore her hat with the red feather and her ruby ring. She pulled her long, wavy, blonde hair away from her face with a ragged, red bandana. When Ruby was 16 and Sara had given her a ship of her own, Ruby got a tattoo of a small ruby on the outside of her right eye, so that people would always know who she was.

Sephora dressed very much like Ruby, except she hated hats. She wore her red hair pulled back in a blue bandana. She had one, small red braid on the side of her head, that was tied off with a bead set with a sapphire. Sephora also preferred pants over skirts and wore brown cotton pants a shirt like Ruby's only blue. She wore one ring on her thumb that was made with sliver and set with several tiny sapphires. She carried her sword and pistol in her belt, just like Ruby.

As the waves beat against the sides of the boat, something appeared out on the horizon, drawing closer as they sailed on. "What's that?" Sephora leaned over the side of the boat to get a closer look. Ruby squinted and pulled out her spyglass, raising it to her eye. At first she still couldn't see what it was, but as it drew closer, she got a better look. Ruby lower the spyglass and returned it to her belt. Sephora was standing beside her now.

"Well?" she asked, staring at the figure, getting bigger by the second. Not even taking her eyes of the ocean, Ruby murmured to Sephora.

"Jack."
