Chapter 7

Things were different on the Judith Prosperous following Audra Bellamy’s death. There was no more lullabies’ at night to help the crew fall asleep. There was no more rooster calls made by Audra at dawn to wake everyone up. And Lurg seemed more evil and conniving than ever.

Deidre Vasquez was a stow-away on the Judith Prosperous for many months now. She came on as Audra’s life coach, but also got involved with a certain female pirate. Deidre was finally discovered hiding behind a stall by Hackin’ Eve and Maximo, who were cleaning out the animal stalls in the lower deck. Hackin Eve alerted Lurg and Skully One-Eye of the witch’s presence. Lurg and Skully put Deidre into a prison cell.

Deidre told Skully One Eye about Audra coming to her and asking Deidre to be her life coach, and invited Deidre to hideout on board the ship. Deidre then exposed her secret affair.

Deidre told Skully about her affair with Condi! Skully gasped he was shocked. It made a lot of sense though; he’s always wanted to have sweet sex with Condi. Skully One-Eye held a meeting with Lurg and Condi. Condi felt betrayed that Deidre would expose their love affair. Skully One-Eye gave the option to Condi either Deidre can stay aboard the ship and join them, or Deidre can walk the plank. Condi would think about it and let Skully know later.

Later that evening Condi went to the dungeon to talk to Deidre. Things didn’t go to well. Deidre told Condi that she used Condi because she needs the love of a strong independent woman in order to make her magic stronger. Condi was furious—she was used by Deidre. Deidre then told Condi that she was on deck the night that Audra died and that saw had seen everything that had happened. And she would tell Skully One-Eye and Lurg the information unless Condi allowed her to stay on the ship.

You see if there is one thing that Condi really hates it’s being blackmailed. Condi went back on deck and told a lie to Lurg and Skully One-Eye that Deidre had killed Audra and made it look like a suicide. Lurg was furious, and he stormed down the stairs to the dungeon. He opened the cell and began to attack Deidre. Deidre used her magic and turned one of the milk cows into a raging bull. The bull busted out of its stall and stormed down the hallway, crushing Lurg against a wall. Deidre tried to run out of the ships lower level but she was shot with a poison dart by Bella Dizzy. The poison on the dart made it so the Deidre could no longer remember any of her spells, therefore temporarily disabling her. The raging bulls spell would wear off in a few hours and it would turn back into a milk cow. But in the meantime while the raging bull was still there, Skully-One Eye, Bella Dizzy, Finale The Periwinkle, Maximo and Chester Buoy played rodeo on the bull. Ultimately Bella Dizzy won the bull-riding contest, she was able to stay on the bull the longest because she knows how to bounce on it. After the bull riding once the spell wore off, the pirates ran over to see Lurg. He was unconscious so they brought him to Bella’s medic cabin.

Lurg awoke later that night, just as Skully and Condi were making Deidre walk to plank. Deidre threatened the pirates, saying that they would regret it if they proceed to make her walk, but the pirates didn’t listen to her threats. As she was at the end of the plank, she told everyone that she didn’t kill Audra but in fact she saved her. She saved Audra in many ways. She freed her, and Audra lived a happy life because of Deidre. Skully One-Eye had enough of Deidre Vasquez; the life coach and voodoo witch had to be gone. And with her hands tied together Deidre jumped from the plank and into the water.

The pirate crew that night went to bed shocked and confused, as to the mysterious death of Audra and how it was getting stranger and stranger. In the medic cabin and Lurg and Bella Dizzy made crazy monkey sex, apparently she was re-enacting to Lurg how she rode the bull today. Finale The Periwinkle was doing a new job that Skully assigned, to check the ship and make sure that there are no stow aways. As Finale was down in the dungeon she found Deidre’s old magic book.

Once Morning came the Judith Prosperous found that their ship was surrounded by almost 100 ships from the Spanish Armada. There were no battles, Skully One-Eye and crew were quickly arrested and put into a cell……

The Spanish Armada headed for Spain.
