Summary: Wellll.lets see. Romance...with some fluff...may lead to 'other things' But I'll be leavin that up to the readers!
Found At Sea
The Sirens call them out to sea.
' What such beautiful voices are these? '
She leads them to bays that are full of gloom.
And the sailors follow her to their doom.
" Man over-board!"
The crew of The Black Pearl ran to the starboard side of the ship to see who could have fallen into the ocean. They saw that it wasn't one of their crewmates, but a girl whom they'd never seen before. Captain Jack Sparrow saw her and noticed that she was unconscious. She had been holding on to a stray board to keep afloat.
" Drop the top sails! We need to slow this ship down. Throw a rope out and get that girl out of the water!" Everyone followed Jack's orders quickly. If they didn't slow the ship down soon then they may sail right past her.
" The top sails are dropped, sir!"
The others had gotten her out of the water and were carrying her onto the deck. Jack walked down to where they had laid her down to see what condition she was in. The first thing he noticed was that she was not wearing a nice dress, so she must not be from a rich family, but she was wearing long pants and a long-sleeved, dark blue shirt with boots. Up close he saw that she looked older than he had first thought she was. She had dark brown hair, tan skin, and wore several necklaces and bracelets. There was also a bruise on her right cheek and a large cut on her arm. Whatever had happened, it appeared to be an attack of some sort.
" Someone dry her up and put her in a bed with a warm blanket. Raise the sails and lower the flag! We make for the next town!" Jack went back to his post, steering the ship. At the next town they may be able to find out where that girl had come from, and also fill up on supplies.
" Captain. We've dressed her wound and put her in your bed. She still seems to be unconscious."
" Have you found a name for her?"
" Well, her name may be 'Sarah'. We saw it written on one of her necklaces. We also found this," they pulled out a dagger from its sheath, " strapped to her leg."
" Fine, fine. Go and help ready the mess hall, it's nearly dark."
" I' Captain."
Jack looked at his compass, turned the wheel a bit to the west, and looked back out towards the horizon. It looked clear and cloudless, which meant that he'd be sailing through the night again. It was the greatest feeling in the world, to be sailing his ship again.
I felt warm, soft blankets on me and a soft pillow under my head. I'd had a nice dream that I was back at my home, in my own bed. That Mother and Father would be waiting for me down stairs in the kitchen, eating breakfast and laughing with each other. For a moment I thought that it hadn't been a dream, that I was in fact in my bed. But then I felt the gentle rocking that you only feel when on a ship, and I shot right up in the bed.
Looking around, I figured out that I was in a soft wooden bed in a well- furnished room. It has to be the Captain's quarters. I know for a fact that the other sleeping areas aren't nearly as roomy.
On the table next to me was a tray with some bread, fruit, cheese, and a glass of wine. I didn't trust the wine so I helped my self to some grapes, a roll, and a small slice of cheese. When I stood and stretched, I was reminded, quite painfully, of the cut on my arm. I pulled up my sleeve to check it for any sign of infection, but it had been cleaned and bandaged. I let my hand stray down to my leg where I had hidden my dagger, but.it wasn't there.
I started to feel panicky. What if the people who ran this ship were British soldiers? Had they seen the tattoo on my left wrist? Had they seen my name written on the back of my locket? I quickly decided that I had to get out of here. If they discover that I'm a pirate, I'll be killed.
I walked over to where my boots had been placed and pulled them on. Ever so quietly I pulled open the door and stepped out onto the deck. Looking around, I could have sworn that I'd seen this ship before. It definitely didn't look like a British ship, but they had no flag to identify whom they sailed for. I walked farther out onto the deck looking around for a lifeboat when I heard someone behind me.
" I see you're up."
I turned around and saw that it was a man up steering the ship that had spoken to me. He was quite handsome with pirate locks, a red bandanna, a mustache, and a beard that was braided twice. There were small beads and trinkets hanging from his hair and he had nice, dark eyes.
" Who are you?" I asked as I began to walk towards him. I was beginning to relax because he obviously wasn't any British soldier that was about to hang me.
" I'm Captain Jack Sparrow. Most call me Jack. And who exactly are you, might me be asking?" Yeah, now I'm completely positive that he isn't a soldier of any kind. at all.
" My name's Sarah. Are you a pirate?" I asked and walked up next to him. I wonder how old he is. He can't be older than forty. at least I hope he can't.
" As great as they come. And I'm pretty sure that young ladies, such as yourself, aren't born with tattoos like that on their wrists." He'd seen it. But when. how? I pulled my sleeve up and looked at my tattoo. It was of skull and cross bones, with vines of ivy weaving around them, and two small hearts under it. One with an 'M' in it and the other with a 'D' in it.
" Who did you think brought you the food? Besides, the last things we're going to do is sail a whole ship of pirates into some town just so's they can hang you. But we's are going to go to the next town, and see if we can finds some supplies, savvi?"
" I'. Um. I s'pose you're going to drop me off there, are ya?" I really didn't want him to. The pirates that I had once known as my family had been taken away and the ship that had once been my home had been attacked and destroyed. I have nothing now. I'd simply have to find my way back to Tortuga.
Jack looked at me questioningly. " How old ya be?" I looked back over at him.
" I'm twenty-six. Why?"
" How long've you been a pirate?"
" Since I was seven years old. Why are you asking me-" Jack cut me off.
" What exactly happened to the ship you used to be on? We found you holding onto a board, drifting along. Looked like an attack to me." Jack was now looking at the horizon again, occasionally looking at his compass.
" I was second mate of a ship called The Falcon. Then about three days ago, British sailors attacked our ship. When they over took the ship, some of us tried to flee in the two lifeboats, but they used out own cannons against us. I was thrown from the boat along with a fellow pirate. He was killed. I had been hit hard in the face by a piece of wood from the blast, so I grabbed onto a piece of wood that was floating next to me. I drifted with nothing to eat, and eventually I lost consciousness. That's where you came in." I smiled at him.
" Well, it sounds to me like you're a shipless pirate, then. Welcome to The Black Pearl." Jack smiled at me, then returned to checking his compass and steering the ship.
I stood there, my mind swimming. Did he just say. am I really. he just smiled at me! Before I knew it, I was running over to Jack and throwing my arms around him.
" Thank you so much. You don't know how much this means to me." I hugged him tightly and, to my shock and happiness, he hugged me back.
" I know what it's like to loose everything that once made your life worthwhile. And I also know what it's like to get it all back, and them some." I continued to hug him. I didn't want to let him go, but slowly I pulled away from him. I started to walk back towards his room, but I stopped and turned back around.
" Jack, you know everything about me, but I don't know anything about you aside from your name." Jack looked over at me with the faintest smile on his face.
" I'll tell you everything you want to know in the morning. Right now I'd suggest that you get some sleep."
I gave him one last smile before turning and walking back to his room. I sat back down on his bed and ate the rest of the food that he'd brought in for me, and drank the glass of wine, before going back to sleep.
