Chapter Four

*I am a Pirate and My name is Brittney Turner

"Wasn't expecting that" I said and the kraken howled with rage "shoot!" I yelled and my crew shot at it, at the same time. "No! I just dropped my barrel" I said showing them. "it was a good choice anyways" I added, then the kraken slipped underneath the water.

"Oh no" Kayla said again, and at that moment, everything was calm.

"Did we kill it?" one of my crew members asked, questioningly.

"No...we just made it really mad" I replied, all of a sudden, the Kraken launched itself at the bottom of my boat! it sent us up, high into the air. At least twenty to forty feet in the air. For a minute it felt like everything had stopped. I looked around for something...anything to help ease my fall.

All I could think of was cutting a line in our sail. I looked down and my ship was cracked in half. So I quickly cut the main sail. I tumbled only once whilst sliding down it. Then, the mast cracked and started falling toward the Kraken.

I jumped off and dug my sword into the beam of the Bloody Rose. Kayla, Charlotte, Crepsley, Forman, and Nicole were on the side with me. On the other side was the rest of my crew, including Brandy. Now, Kayla's eyes flashed. "Oh, a minute ago would have been a better time for that" I growled hatefully.

"Hey, I don't pick the time they come, they just come" she said. I glanced behind me and I didn't see anyone on the other side. What about Brandy? I thought. Suddenly I felt sick, then I saw the Kraken's open jaws.

It had razor sharp teeth, I quickly looked away, I couldn't handle the image of Brandy falling to the Kraken's jaws and being its dinner. Then the piece of deck that we were clinging to flipped over. Onto its back, this time I landed on my back and it knocked the air out of me. A scream pierced the air around me, Charlotte was hanging on by her index (pointer) finger! I grabbed her arm and tried to pull her up but something had her.

"The Kraken!" she yelled "it has my ankle!" she screamed, I called over Crepsley and told him to pull her up. As I took my sword out I saw Charlotte's eyes grow big, I leaned over and I saw it. A huge tentacle had her ankle and it didn't look like it was letting go.

So, I chopped it off. "Pull her up!" I yelled.

"I can't!" Crepsley yelled back.

"Why?" I growled a fire building in my eyes.

"Too heavy!"

"Oh, for the love of..."I trialed off, as I was about to sit up, something hit me and forced me to fall forwards. Thankfully, I had a good grip on the deck. I sighed in relief and flipped back up. I grabbed Crepsley and pulled, we finally got Charlotte up but, it was a challenge.

"Thanks" she breathed. She was gulping down air, probably thanking the gods that she wasn't taken to a watery grave. I stood, watching the Kraken and silently cursing it for all the pain and death it caused. The Kraken now disappeared into the water, I prayed to every god that I knew the name of that it wouldn't come back. Short gusts of wind came and blew my long dirty blond hair behind my shoulders.

"What's wrong?" Kayla asked then I looked at her sideways. "Oh, is it because of Brandy?" she asked and I saw a smile on her face.

"Why do you do that and not tell me anything?" I asked angrily.

"It is not my place to tell you the future"

"You could at least prepare me" I grumbled.

"If I do, the future will change and right now things are looking up for you...I just do it for you" she said with a smile.

"Yeah, because this is so happy" I hissed sarcastically, I saw Charlotte giggle behind Kayla.

"Ugh" she said and sat down cross-legged and closed her eyes. Next, something hit my stomach and launched me from the front of the boat to the water on the other side. I looked around under-water and I saw the bottom of another ship a few feet away, but, when I came up for air I saw nothing. "What was that?" Charlotte asked reaching for me.

I held up a finger and dove back down to take another look, the boat was still there. "Brittney grab my hand that water's cold, you could get hypothermia" Charlotte whined. Then something hit me again and caused me to fall back into the water.

"Ok, what the hell is that thing?" I growled wiping the water from my blue eyes.

"I don't know but I don't think it likes you" Crepsley replied.

"You think?" I growled then Charlotte turned to Creep.

"She's just mad" she whispered "let's try it one more time" Charlotte said and I grumbled up, onto the piece of what was left of my deck. I felt yet another punch my stomach and it made me fly backwards. I started swimming toward the deck piece and just before I tried to get on again I felt something wrap around my waist and yank me toward where the supposed ship I saw was. Now, everyone else was yanked but, they kind of flew through the air. The person who pulled me up was slow and easy.

I saw a ship. The sails of the mystery ship were pitch black...I was on the Black Pearl!

Chapter Five

*I am Brittney and I am a lucky Pirate

When I was pulled aboard the crew quickly cut the rope around my waist. Then I heard "Brittney!" And I saw Brandy and the rest of my crew. Brandy hugged me tight, I just smiled at her. "So how's your stomach?" she asked with a giggle "I was watching the whole time!"

she said with a smile "it probably has a bruise" I replied.

"Do you know what boat you're on?" she asked me with wild eyes.

"The Black Pearl?" I guessed.

"How?"

"The sails" I said "it's the only boat with black sails." I added

"And you know the captain" she asked

"Yes"

Kayla came up to me "told ya" said she, I just rolled my eyes happily. A door opened and the captain came out...Jack Sparrow. He smiled at me.

"I hope you've found our ship home" he said, I smiled and nodded.

"I didn't much like getting punched in the stomach" I said

"Oh, that wasn't them" Brandy said quickly.

"Aye" Jack said

"I think the flying Dutchman was trying to pull you down but couldn't" Brandy whispered.

"Me too" Jack said whirling around to us.

"You don't whisper well" I said to Brandy, she giggled.

"Oh, you're funny" she said.

"Now that we have your crew I'll have them make a bed for you and put it in the Captain's quarters, your crew can sleep with my crew" Jack said, flashing a smile to me.

"Alright" I agreed, I turned around and glanced behind me to find Charlotte with a mesmerized expression. I laughed at her and Jack couldn't figure out what I was laughing about. "Nothing" I said then, I looked at Brandy and she slapped Charlotte.

"Ouch! what the hell?" Charlotte asked meekly.

"Better" I replied and went to go tell my crew the plan. Later that evening I stood at the bow with Kayla, her eyes had been flashing alot since we boarded the Black Pearl. I thought she saw all the crew's futures.

"You're happy" she finally said braking the silence.

"Um hum" I mumbled, her eyes flashed and her smile grew.

"You are interested in Mr. Sparrow?" she said knowing the answer.

"Why do you ask me when you already know the answer?"

"I like to hear you say it, not your mind" I looked at her weirdly "strange" I whispered, she yawned.

"He has a interest in you also" she said,

"Are you tattling?" I asked, grinning.

"No, I read his mind" she answered and I laughed at her "I'm going to go to sleep, don't stay up too long" she added.

"No promises" I replied with a smile. It was almost midnight when Jack came and joined me. For some reason I got nervous and started blushing! What's wrong with me? "You know you don't have to stand up here right?"

he asked "yes.." I said trailing off, my blush deepening.

"We have people who do that" he continued, smiling, I nodded. "Not much to talk, huh?" he asked, leaning forwards, attempting to see my face in the blanket of darkness.

"I don't talk much at night" I said "uh.. I-I mean..."

"I know what you mean" he said softly and I blushed a deeper red. I think Jack saw my blushing, by the way he smiled when he looked out to the ocean before us. Then he grabbed my arm and started pulling me toward the bedroom.

"W-w-what?" I asked, nervousness and eagerness consuming me.

"You heard your friend...she said not to stay up too long" he answered. He left me in the bedroom and it felt like my heart stopped. Did he hear the rest of the conversation? I asked myself, what does he think? I thought, but in a matter of time, I crawled into my bed.

My eyes finally shut and I drifted off into the land of sleep. I dreamt that Kayla and I were just talking, we were on the Black Pearl and Jack came up behind us and put his arm around me, then kissed my cheek. Now up came the Kraken came and destroyed the boat. I was the only one safe. The Kraken had Jack and I was screaming and throwing stuff at it.

Trying to force it to let go of Jack, but it ate him, and it was coming for me. I quickly sat up. My heart was beating one hundred miles a minute, I glanced over to find Jack fast asleep beside me. I sighed and decided to go walk around. The wind felt good on my face.

I sat down next to the door, and thought...am I mad? or insane?, No..it was just a dream you don't need to be shaken up like this. I sighed and just stared at the moon...living on the edge...woo hoo!...*finger twirling thing*.
