Chapter 2 - The Famous Black Pearl

Jack walked up the planks and smiled at his ship. He could not put into words what she did to him. He then turned back to the girl who was following shyly behind him. The lass had spunk, following him out of the bar like that. That dress she wore was torture on a man though. The dark purple brought out the green specks in her radiant blue eyes. Her slightly tanned skinned was showing above the bodice of her dress, which Jack noticed was mighty tight. It was going to be hard to be a gentleman around her.

"Come on lass, I want you to meet my ship."

Shalynn had heard many stories about the Black Pearl. The most famous being the attack on Port Royale and the curse. Her nerves were reeking havoc on her stomach and she couldn't stop wringing her hands together. 'What am I thinking,' she asked herself.

Jack held out his hand to help her onto the ship. She stumbled and fell into him. He caught her and smirked. "If ye wanted to be close love, all you had to do was ask."

She quickly righted herself and pretended to fix her dress while Jack chuckled to himself.

Shalynn looked up to see a woman walking down the stairs from the bow. "Captain, I see ye be back." She looked at the Shalynn. "Who be the lass?"

Jack smiled, "Anna, t'is Shalynn Morgan. She has decided to pillage and plunder like a pirate."

Anna looked at Shalynn and just nodded, then walked away.

Jack started walking away so Shalynn hurriedly caught up to him. Then suddenly she stopped and looked around. She noticed everything on the ship was black. She didn't literally think everything was black. Apparently she was wrong. 'I am so far from home,' she worried.

Jack opened the Captain's quarters and motioned for her to go inside. She walked slowly into the dimly lit room. Candles were lit all around. A bed was along side a wall on her right and a huge table with chairs was along the wall on her left. Directly in front of her was a wooden desk with what looked to be maps scattered all over. She suddenly felt Jack come up behind her, "Welcome to me humble abode lass."

"Shay," she said sternly, or at least hoped she sounded stern.

"Such a pretty name for such a pretty lady," Jack said while going to a cabinet and pulling out a brown bottle.

"Jack, am I really to go with you... on your voyage I mean?" Shay asked shyly, really hoping he would say yes. Also, really hoping he couldn't tell.

Jack chuckled and turned toward her. "That be your decision darlin'."

She nodded and sat on the bed. She was actually pretty tired and she realized that she hadn't slept at all in 48 hours. She yawned and when she opened her eyes, she seen Jack sitting in a straight back wooden chair, looking at her. She tried to smile but she seen something unreadable in his eyes. If she wasn't mistaken, she would take that as lust.

"Love, if ye tired, I can leave you to rest for a while." Jack said while taking long pulls on his rum.

"That would be nice, but I have never slept on a pirate ship before."

"Don't ye go worryin' about that now darlin'. I will make sure you will sleep in peace." Jack said as he got up. "I am goin' to go see if Anna has any extra clothes for ye. Rest well lass."

Jack disappeared through the doors and Shay waited patiently for Anna. When she came in, she handed Shay some breeches and a white shirt. "This is all I be havin' for ye lass. Hope you get some good rest. Ye be needin' it."

Soon after she laid in Jack's bed, she felt sleep take her over. Her last conscious thought was, 'I am on the famous Black Pearl, with the famous Captain Jack Sparrow.'
