Pirate!EnglandxReaderxPirate!Spain~Black X~Part 11

"Ohonhon look what we have here!" the frenchman mumbled, stumbling on the sand to see two other ships docked close to the island. "It appears we aren't alone."
A young woman, with long dark hair tied up with two red bows, wearing a pretty light blue dress followed behind him.
"There are others?" she questioned, and Francis nodded.
"Oui Michelle! We are not alone."
The rest of the frech crew made their way onto the beach, while Francis searched the area.
"'Zey are already in 'ze jungle!" he cried to his men. "We must follow 'zem!"
As he turned, he was face to face with a large gun.
"Who do you think you are?" a burley man glared.
Francis pushed the gun away with his finger and frowned.
"Not someone to bother getting involved with."
He looked at Michelle, who was standing there peacefully.
"Come Michelle!"
At once she obeyed, following behind the blond man as they walked into the jungle.
"The captain will know what to do with 'em." the man grumbled, pulling his gun away, and walking back to the ship.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

         The moment you woke, you knew something was different. Stretching your muscles, you scanned the room, but no signs of anything wrong.
Thumbs were heard from upstairs from the bustling crew. Must be getting close to island, you thought.
As you rubbed your eyes, you went to pull back your hair, but just pushed air.
You opened your eyes and swatted again. No hair.
You grabbed your head, to feel you had..short hair..
With that, you screamed.
Antonio came running down moments after to find you screaming and feeling your head.
"Where is my hair?!?!" you shouted, hitting Antonio until he pinned you against the floor.
"I had to (Name) it's for your safety!"
Tears slipped down your eyes.
"You cut my hair!"
"The people we are going to encounter might hurt you if they knew you were a woman!" the captain tried to explain while holding you down.
"I needed to make you look like a man, or a boy at least!" you angrily kneed him in the stomach and shoved him away.
"I could have worn a hat! Can't boy's have long hair?!"
"Well Arthur would know it was you.."
Your mouth dropped open, as Antonio stood up holding his stomach.
"Arthur is going to be there.."
"He will be."
You felt through your short boy-ish hair again.
"He will know who I am."
Antonio suddenly walked up and slapped you across the face, making you fall on your knees and begin to cry. So many things happening...all at once..
"No he won't!" the captain replied, lifing your chin. "I will make you a man."
You growled slightly, before being pulled to your feet.
"I have some clothing you must wear. We need something for your face, so he won't know you.."
As he brought you into his room, he stuck two fingers in a small box of tobacco.
"Here.."
You shoved his hand away.
"That's sick! My teeth will rot!"
"It's only a little." he grabbed your head and pushed his fingers in your mouth. He then spread the tobacco over your teeth, making them look dirty. Like a pirate.
"Your eyes.." he said, scratching his chin. "A dead giveaway.."
He looked around the room until he saw an old gun. He pulled out some of the gun powder, and began rubbing it around your eye.
"This will make you look dirty..and beaten. Like a boy. They won't know it's you.."
You felt more tears coming, when you looked at yourself.
Cut shaggy hair. Black teeth, and black eyes.
"Don't worry (Name)." Antonio came from behind and kissed an un-covered part of your face. "I still love you."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                The plan was fullproof. You would look like a boy, but being the black X, would lead Antonio to the sacred treasure. However, you wondered how you would face Arthur again, and not pull him into a hug and kiss him all over.
As the row boat stopped, Antonio carried you from the small ship onto the beach, and set you down carefully.
"Now (Name), you must be mute." he whispered. "I will be your mouth alright."
You nodded, wishing you could try. At least you wouldn't have to explain..you were mute now.
It was a long trip across the beach to meet Francis-the frenchman Antonio called him sometimes-and..two other ships. You knew one of them was Arthur's, but the other you had no idea.
"Whose zis' fine boy?" Francis asked, pulling a young girl closer to him. Now you were really mad. She was no lovely, with her long dark hair and perfect tanned skin. She could be a girl..and you couldn't?
"This is (Name), actually. We need to protect her." Antonio replied, wrapping an arm around you.
"Ohonhon! The black X!" Francis grinned, grasping your chin and squeezing it. "I can see your femanine side, Antonio! She haz' no padding!"
You rolled your eyes and looked over at the girl, you were eyeing you all around.
"I'm a girl, okay." you told her, feeling even more awkward.
"I'm Michelle." she replied. "I'm sorry for what you've been going through."
Francis sighed, finishing his conversation with Antonio.
"Time to get going! Michelle, come!"
She obeyed quickly, following behind Francis as they made their way into the jungle.
"You ready (Name)?" Antonio asked, pushing you forward. You were going to be ready whether you liked it or not.
"Sure.." you sighed, wishing you could rub the crappy gun powder off your eyes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

             After at least an hour on foot through the jungle, you finally made a stop, meeting two other camps along with Francis.
"We've decided to work togezer!" Francis shrieked. "Sad..but true..Arthur the english idiot has a map."
"Well we've got something else~" you felt Antonio give your rear a squeeze, before you made a squeaking sound and blushed.
"None of that (Name)! You cannot speak at all!" he replied. Then he suddenly pulled you into a quick kiss, making eveything even more awkward.
"One last kiss, before you become a boy..well..sort of."
What he said..well part of it..reminded you of something.
You bit your lip, thinking about the very british man who nearly stole your heart.
"Hola men!" you heard Antonio shout, which perked you up a little, before running out behind him, not wishing to see anyone.
Francis lead the way with Michelle, while you hid comfortably behind Antionio. You noticed how wonderful he smelled.
"Hey bros!" a teenager-ish voice called out, along with a taller man greeting them. "I thought you'd never show up."
Well he's handsome..you thought before shaking your head. No (Name)..boy thoughts..well it's not like you can say anything anyway..
Before you knew it, you were being pulled inside a larger tent, with flickering candles.
There...he was.
Arthur..your Arthur. He was looking over the map next to the louder man from before, and Francis. The map you gave him..
"Well hello there." he replied, giving Antonio a look a hatred. "Why hello young fello."
He then smiled lightly at you, making your heart flutter.
You thought of the kiss before he left..now you couldn't even speak to him.
If anything..you could have pulled off the disguise and told him everything..but something in your heart told you no.
Was is your feelings for Antonio? Couldn't be..
"PAPA!!!"
Oh my goodnes..
In came little Peter, with a large grin on his face.
"Wow! Lots of people! I'm Peter!"
"Leave now, my son." Arthur ordered, just as Peter turned to see you.
"Wow! A boy near my age!" his grin grew. "We can play together."
"Peter!"
He rolled his eyes playfully before tugging on your hand.
"Can we play!!"
"Go on then (boy name)." Antionio replied, already having a male name planned for you.
You wished you could growl, but instead were pulled out of the tent, and farther away from Arthur.
