Mary was both alarmed and scared by the Captain's words. She seen how Catherine seemed resigned to her fate, but Mary wanted to at least protest, even if the protest would probably be for show. "Please Captain I don't want to be your toy and to have to earn my way using my....my body like a whore aboard a floating brothel! It is bad enough that we are kept in chains like this. Let us keep at least our dignity."<br/><br/>Mary was trembling as she spoke those words. She knew that from stories she had heard working in the ports that some Captains could be very cruel to those on their ships, and was hoping that this Captain was different, but only time would tell. Satisfying the carnal cravings of a band of pirates on a long sea voyage was not a fate even a whore would want.
