John waited a few minutes and then followed Calamity below deck. When he reached her cabin (she was the only girl on the ship other than the Captain, and John didn't like the idea of his little sister bunking with the crew so he had talked their mother into letting her have what should have been the first-mates cabin) he could here crying coming from the other side of the door. He knocked twice and waited for a reply, but when he didn't get one he simple walked in.
Calamity was lying on her bed with her back to the door. William was sitting in the corner looking bored out of his mind.
When John walked in Calamity immediately stopped crying but didn't bother turning around "John I don't feel like talking right now. Please just leave…"
John sighed and walked over and sat at the foot of the bed. "Ellie… what's wrong? What is it she said to you?" He asked softly.
Calamity sat up and leaned against the wall that her bed was pushed up against. "She thinks that I'm spoiled and that I can't do anything but watch children… she said that I'm weak and lady-like and so I am of no use to her." She answered, wiping the tears from her face.
"Well…" John said slowly, thinking. "You are, or at least were, a bit spoiled by me and Father, but you've never acted spoiled. And…I guess compared to some of the crew you are weak, but for a girl your age and height your very strong, and although you talk in a very lady-like manner (most of the time)…you don't act very lady-like." Calamity smiled slightly. John reached out and grabbed her hand and gave it a squeeze, he then stood up and started to leave.
"Oh! I almost forgot." He said turning back around and walking back to where Calamity sat on the bed. "I got you something." He then pulled a necklace out of his pocket and handed it to her.
She took it and studied it closely. It was a slim silver chain with a silver cross, in the center of the cross was a beautiful diamond and at each point on it was a shimmering dark blue sapphire. The cross wasn't very large but it wasn't tiny either, and the gems were a small enough size that the necklace didn't look too gaudy.
She put the necklace on quickly and gave John a hug. "Thank you so much! It's gorgeous!" John smiled and kissed the top of her head then left the room.
Calamity noticed how quiet William had been that whole time and looked over to the corner to see if he was still there, she saw that he was still in the corner and that he had fallen asleep. She smiled. Even though he was somewhat spoiled and bratty, he was kind of a cute kid while he was sleeping.
She walked over to him and carefully picked him up. She carried him over to the bed and set him down on it, covering him with a blanket.
She then walked over to her desk that stood on the other side of the cabin. She sat down in the chair in front of the desk and took out a bottle of ink, a pen, and a piece of parchment and began doodling.
Calamity woke up and looked around. She had fallen asleep at her desk…she looked over and saw William standing beside her, shaking her trying to wake her up. "I'm up, I'm up! What do you want?" she asked, annoyed. "I'm hungry…" he whined. "You woke me up for that?!" She screeched.
"Yes…that and there's another ship!" He answered grinning. "What do you mean there's another ship?" she asked, confused.
"Jack's ship! They came to save me!" he shouted gleefully. Calamity's eyes widened. "Are you sure their here for you?" William nodded. "Yes!!"
Calamity jumped up and ran to grab her sword. "William, stay here! If you leave this room I'll slice your belly open and toss you overboard for the sharks to eat!" She threatened him as she ran out the room, shutting the door behind her.
She ran up on deck and saw her mother standing across from a man who Calamity figured was the Captain of the other ship.
Behind Celestria stood John, Eric and Tom. Behind the man stood 4 members of his crew, 3 men and 1 woman.
"Are ye the captain o' this ship?" the man asked Celestria. "Aye! Celestria Sorbin, Captain o' the Dorchadas. Now what is it ye want?"
"Captain Jack Sparrow o' the Black Pearl and here I'm for the boy."
Calamity walked quickly over to stand next to John. "Where's William?" he hissed, just noticing her. "In my cabin." She whispered.
"You shouldn't have come up here!" he whispered back angrily. "I refuse to be left out of everything that goes on on this ship!" she shot back, louder than she thought.
Captain Sparrow had obviously heard because he turned his head quickly to see who the sudden outburst had come from. He studied her for a moment and then glanced back to the Captain in front of him, he looked back to Calamity and grinned.
"Well ye won't jus' be takin' the boy jus' like that…" Captain Sorbin said, bringing Jack's attention back to her. "not with out givin' us something firs'!"
"Well that is a shame… because we have nothing ter give ye. I guess we'll just have ter do this the hard way then…" he answered unsheathing his sword.
Celestria's ships name (Dorchadas)... I was told by a friend it means 'darkness' in gaelic (irish), though i'm not 100 percent sure on that ...Celestria isn't Irish, I just needed a name for the ship and i thought that was cool...you gets?
Thanks for reading and please review!!!
