Disclaimer: I didn't get Jack Sparrow for Christmas!! *cries*
"Come ON Jess!" Just one more time??"
Nick had been knocking on her door loudly for the past 20 minutes. "This kid doesn't give up, does he?" she muttered as she threw down her copy of Treasure Island.
"Fine." 21 year old Jess said as she unlocked and opened the door. Her kid brother was grinning from ear to ear. He grabbed her arm and dragged her down the stairs to the living room of their family's beach house.
It was summer break, and Jess was back from her junior year of college. Their parents had fought tooth and nail to get a beach house in the Caribbean years ago. When they had finally gotten one on Saint Vincent, the whole family had spent every summer there, without fail.
"Let's watch Pirates again!" he said with a grin. She rolled her eyes, laughing. Nick was completely and utterly OBSESSED with that movie. She'd been there three days and they'd already watched it twice. Not that she was complaining though.
He quickly turned on the DVD player, as one of the largest thunderstorms of the summer raged on outside. Looking around, she suddenly realized that she'd misplaced her Walkman. In a lightning flash, she saw it sitting on a pool chair outside. "Shit…" she muttered.
"NICK!!" she yelled. "I'LL BE BACK IN A SEC, I JUST FORGOT SOMETHING ON THE DECK."
"OK!!" he yelled back. "I'm just making some popcorn."
As she walked outside, she took a second to survey her reflection in the screen door. There was a slimmish, medium height girl staring back at her. Hazel eyes with gold flecks, brimming with energy and fire, blinked from behind wild gold brown hair, which fell just past her shoulders. She rolled her eyes at her reflection, and gave herself a mental slap. Pulling the door open, she continued toward the deck. She quickly grabbed her Walkman and went to go back inside.
Suddenly, lightning flashed across the sea, followed by a booming roll of thunder. Jess looked up, and saw something awfully strange on the horizon. As she focused more on it, she saw what looked like a large tall ship. She walked up to the shore and waded a bit into the water to get a better look. All of a sudden, lightning flashed near her, and an electric shock overtook her. She was thrown backward out of the water, and into the woods, where she blacked out almost immediately.
"JESS??" Nick yelled from inside. "Come on, the popcorn's getting cold! And you're going to miss the movie!" The first few bars of "A Pirates Life For Me", sung by the younger version of Elizabeth, could be heard, followed by the intrusion by Mr. Gibbs.
Nick groaned and assumed that his sister had ditched him again. He settled back onto the comfortable couch and began to watch the movie.
