Chapter 2- Revealing
Jack had taken me into his cabin. I don't think that it had sunk in that I was on board the Black Pearl. He sat down in his chair before motioning me to do the same in a chair on the other side of his desk. "How did you get here, Dana?" he asked as I sat down.
"On my ship of course." I smiled. His jaw dropped.
"So you really are Cap'n?"
"Yes. Why would I lie 'bout that Jack?"
"I'm not accusing ye of anything' Dana. I'm just trying to understand how a girly girl became a pirate captain." Sadness filled my eyes. That was something I didn't really want to talk about.
"Teague took me in when my parents died. He taught me how to be a pirate. He even gave me his old ship. I made it my own though. I painted it black and upgraded it. It was in very poor shape. I also had to change the name. I didn't want everyone thinking that Teague was the captain on board."
"And what is her name?"
"Passero."
"Passero? I've heard of that." he said causing me to giggle.
"Aye, you have. Everyone has."
"What does it mean?" My face straightened. Should I tell him the whole truth or bits of it? What would he say if he knew.
"It's Italian for sparrow."
"Sparrow? Ah. That me reminds me of your tattoo. I never thought ye'd get inked. Why a sparrow?"
"It symbolises freedom." And finding your true love which just happens to be you.
"Oh." He seemed some what disappointed.
"Also," he perked up at this point, "I got it in memory of a dear friend who is very special to me." I winked. A smile spread across his face at this extra information.
"So what are ye doing here?" he asked, curiosity written on his face.
"Just going to pillage and plunder some unsuspecting town. What 'bout ye?" He gazed at me as though he didn't know what to say or think.
"I was on my way to Shipwreck Cove actually. I was coming back for you." he whispered this last part. I laughed.
"It only took you seven years." He looked hurt at this comment.
"A lot as happened, keeping me away from ye." He spoke with such sadness in his voice, I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Most people saw him as a legend. The infamous Captain Jack Sparrow. I saw him for what he truly was. First and foremost a man. I stood up and moved around his desk before dropping down into his lap pulling him into my embrace. His head rested on my chest as his arms linked around my waist.
"Oh I've missed ye, Jack." I said, kissing the top of his head.
"As I've missed ye, Love. What's Shipwreck Cove like with out me?" He laughed.
"About as fun as a life with no rum." His face dropped as he considered this.
"That's no life at all. Rum is good." He looked into my eyes. "That bad ay?" I nodded.
"I think I made it worse for myself for constantly waiting for you. Time seemed to pass very slowly. Even slower given the deficit of rum. So I busied myself with my ship and my crew in dreams of becoming the most fearsome pirate in the entire world." He burst out laughing at this comment.
"How's that working out for you?" Oh if you knew who I truly was, you wouldn't be saying that.
"It's going just fine thank ye."
"Well good luck with that dream, Love. Let me know how you get on."
"I've done pretty good so far." I snapped.
"What do you mean?" he asked in confusion.
"You'll find out soon enough." We sat in a comfortable silence just holding each other for what seemed like years before I asked,
"So what next Jackie?" I laughed at his old nickname, he smirked and replied,
"We need to restock so we were gonna stop in Shipwreck Cove."
"Ah. Well I'm gonna have to turn my ship around and head back. Who knows when I'm gonna see ye again and I want to make the most of it." I said smiling down at him before I jumped off him. "I best go and give the orders." I walked out of Jack's cabin, swaying my hips as I went. "Alright! Attention! Crew of the Passero, we are heading back to Shipwreck Cove so that I can get reacquainted with my dear friend Captain Jack. So back aboard the Passero and make sail."
"Aye, Cap'n Ransone." complied my first mate, Jonathan. Despite being rather old he is the best first mate I've ever had.
"Ransone!" shouted a familiar voice form behind me. I spun around to see Jack staring at me. "You're Cap'n Ransone. That's why the Passero sounded so familiar. Ransone is a woman? Ransone is Dana? My Dana? Bloody hell!"
Hope you enjoyed it!
How do you think Jack will react to this new information?
