Chapter Two
Her Story
I get on board and it's like a mad house. Pirates everywhere. Some were frantically scrubbing the deck, while others were running back and forth setting sails and tying knots here and there. It was pure chaos and I loved it.
I turn as I hear footsteps behind me to see Jack smirking at me again.
"Since you are currently the only woman on board you get your own room." He dangles a key from a chain in front of me and dropped it into my hands. "Let me show you around." He casually strolls over to the captains quarters and taps a door of to the side. "Lucky you gets to be right next to me." He grins slyly as he opens the door.
I quickly slide into the door and block the doorway with my arms.
"I think I can find my way around in here by myself, thank you." I say between my teeth. He is charming, but I can't allow myself to fall for him. Jacks face falters just for a second, but only a second.
"That's quite all right. I'm sure even a woman couldn't get lost in a simple room." He nods and turns to leave and starts lecturing a couple of young pirates.
I sign as I shut the door and lock it. I lean against the door and think to myself. "He really is a handful isn't he…" I look up to see a medium sized room with a worn wardrobe on one side, sitting next to that a small table with a tarnished mirror. On the other side of the room was a dust covered bed with a chest at the foot board. I walk over to peek out of the port hole. It was sun set, the sun seems like a small gem on the horizon. Then suddenly the light disappeared as a ship crosses it's path. . . heading right towards us. I fumble for my key and unlock the door. I run out and search the crowd of pirates on deck for Jack. He had to know.
