Low Key A Jay White Fan Account Now

"Don't you think you have had enough, captain?" The bartender asked roughly.

The pirate captain peered up at the man over the brim of his cup. The bar was dimly lit with candles all around to provide light. Several lanterns hung from the ceilings. The bartender gulped when he looked at Jay's face. A stern look that made any man's spine shiver.

"I have had enough when I say I have had enough," the captain told him. The angry and insulted man stood from his barstool. He grabbed his knife from his belt and stuck it into the wooden table between them. "Do you understand?"

The bartender looked between the knife and the irritated captain before him. A few nervous laughs slipped from his toothless mouth. "I am just looking out for my favorite captain. There is no need for such hostilities. How about another drink then for my friend Jay? On the house."

Jay placed his empty cup down on the table. He watched the bartender closely to ensure that he didn't tamper with the free drink that he so generously offered. The bartender was known to add water to a drink to save from the loss.

When he was given the drink, Jay nursed the cup in one of his hands. He peered around the bar. Several of his men were being rowdy over a game of dice. Others were passed out on the seats, tables, and floors. A couple were trying to get lucky with some ladies of the night. He paused when two of his first mates were in a heated discussion over a piece of paper.

"Probably trying to read it," he sighed to himself. The men were so enthralled in their own conversation that they didn't seem to notice Jay standing over them.

"We have to go back home, Colten," the younger of his first mates stressed.

"We can't just go home! How would we get back in time? If you know how to fly, then you might want to show your wings. Our dad and sister will be fine," Colten spoke.

"The town is accusing them of piracy," the first mate practically shouted. "If we don't save them, they are going to die, Colten."

Jay didn't hear the rest. His blood ran cold. The heart that still beat for her pounded in his chest. He swore he was going to break into a cold sweat. Without realizing it, he broke the cup in his hands. The liquid poured onto the floor.

"Captain?" His third first mate, Juice, asked. "Everything alright?"

"We are going home!" Jay announced. He slammed the broken cup to the ground. The men followed. They knew not to mess with Jay at this time. His mind was elsewhere at the moment. The memory of a promise he made plagued his thoughts.

"Dad!" You cried out as you closed the curtains. An angry mob had formed outside of your home. Rocks and other objects were being thrown into your windows.

"Get away from the window, honey," your dad ordered.

You stepped away as he instructed. He held a musket in his hands. Your father was loading the gun to defend himself.

Fear filled your eyes. Your brothers, Austin and Colten, used to be dockhands. When Jay decided to be a pirate, they quickly followed along with him. Jay grew to be one of the most feared pirates in the Caribbean. The town started to whisper about you and your father. Now you both were seen as traitors to the crown.

"We said come out, Billy!" A man from the mob yelled. Suddenly, the curtains caught fire. You stepped back as the flames started to consume the curtains. Your dad grabbed your hand.

"Listen to me, alright?"

"Dad, what do we do?" You asked.

He held your cheeks in his hand. "You are going to take the tunnel down to the beach. Find a boat at the docks and get out of here. I will distract them."

"I can't leave you."

"Go!" He ordered.

You took off immediately towards the secret tunnel. This was the very one that you used to play hide and seek with your brothers in. You turned to look at your dad one last time. He aimed his gun towards the front door. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, a cannon shot sounded off. Then another went off.

"Pirates!" The mob yelled.

More cannons started to fire. You grabbed your dad's arm and dragged him with you to the tunnel. Billy pushed the door at the end of the tunnel open. Your brothers stood a few feet away.

"Austin, Colten," you cried and ran to them. They wrapped their arms around you.

Billy sighed in relief. "Never thought I would be happy to see you two."

"What about the day we were born?"

"Hey, yeah!"

"Not even close." Your dad quipped.

You smiled at the family reunion. Many moons had passed since you last saw them.

"A charming family moment, but we must get going. I don't have unlimited cannons," Jay spoke. His arms crossed over his chest.

Austin and Colten led you to a small boat that was waiting to go to the ship. They rowed together while fighting in the process. Your father looked irritated, but he was happy to have his kids together again. Jay didn't take his eyes off you.

As the ship sailed away, you watched your home burn to the ground.

Billy thanked Jay for saving them. "I have friends in the Tortugas. Just take us there, and we won't be anymore of a burden."

The winds cut the trip to the Tortugas shorter than you remembered as a child. Your dad was the first to get off the jolly boat. He waited for you to get on the dock with him. Before you could reach for him, Jay pressed you into him.

"Sorry, love," he whispered against your ear. "But you aren't going anywhere."

Jay ushered for two of his men to start rowing back to the ship. Your dad started to yell. "You took my two boys and made them pirates. You aren't taking my only girl. You promised!"
