Disclaimer: I Do Not own Pirates of the Caribbean.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was a bright, sunny morning, and Jack Sparrow had just turned twenty-one. The world was his to explore, and he couldn't wait for the opportunities he could accomplish. He was on Tortuga, the Pirate Run Island of the Caribbean. His Dad had told him that on the morning of Jack's 21st birthday, he would kick him out of the house, and leave him on Tortuga to fend for his self, and get his self a crew and ship. After all, it was a family tradition. So here he was, on his 21st birthday, out on his own and starry eyed at the world around him.
Pirates of all ages were around him. Some were fighting, others trying to impress the girls, but one thing was for sure, they all had a drink in their hands. Jack walked to a near building, trying to avoid the many fighting. Finally he managed to squeeze into a small pub, and he walked over to the bar. The pub was a dimly lit, small building with few people in it. Jack didn't care though, it was nice to get away from the chaos for a moment. A short gruffy man behind the bar asked him," What do ya want?"
Jack breathed in the familiar bitter-sweet aroma of alcohol. His Dad drank everything from ale to whiskey and now that Jack was 21, he could drink. But what to choose?
"Let's try...some Whiskey first." Jack said studiying the drinks.
The gruffy man, grabbed a bottle and poured it into a glass. Then handed it over the counter to an eager Jack. Jack grabbed the glass and took a big gulp, but quickly spit it out, his mouth and throat burning.
"That was a little strong I think." Jack coughed. "Can I just get some...Rum instead?"
Jack's father had always loved Rum. He said that it was a smooth drink with a light taste.
The bartender handed Jack a bottle and walked away, and Jack was alittle more hesitant to try this one as fast as the whiskey. Gingerly, he took a sip of the amber liquid and was immediately impressed. It was just like his father had described! Even better!
He gulped the rest down and ordered another when a man walked into the bar and sat on a stool next to him. He was a man that looked to be in his 40s and in a tone that was almost a growl he told the bartender to get him the usual. Whatever that was. Jack turned back to the bar and in an almost too eager tone said,
"Can I get some more Rum?" The bartender then gave Jack another bottle, and jack started drinking it like there was no tommarrow.
"So you like Rum do yer?" The man next to him asked.
"It's amazing!" Jack said.
"Well careful! That stuff has a kick and before long you won't remember being here at all."
"Well, uh...Thanks good sir. I'll remember that."
"Me name's Barbossa. I just got a ship and a crew to call me own, and am about to leave, but I thought I would come in here first and get one last good drink before I leave. What are you here for?"
"Well, uh my name's Jack. Jack Sparrow, and I'm here becaus eit's my twentyfirst birthday and my Father just kicked me out."
"Ah. The good ole' Pirate tradition. Well I'll be the first to welcome you to such a...Civilized place." He laughed and continued," You got your mark though right?"
"Mark?"
The man called Barbossa grabbed Jacks arm and pulled his sleeve up hard.
"You call yerself a Pirate and you aint got yer mark yet? Come on! We have to take care of that before anyone sees ya."
He Pulled Jack out of the stool and pulled him out the door.
"Erm...Where exactly are we going?" Jack said confused.
"I already told yer. To get yer mark! And I hope you know another newby like yerself to do it fer yer!"
"Why?"
"Cause that's the only way that it can be done! But no worries if you don't! There's bound to be another newby there as well. He will do it for ya if ya's ask probably."
They came to a ship and Jack didn't know what was awaiting him there. But he wasn't sure if he wanted to either.
