The Spirits of the Horizon:
Chapter 2: Disappearing into Shadows
"You sure he's in here?" Mr. Gibbs asked.
"Yeah." Eden replied.
When Jack emerged from the forest, a great weight was lifted off her shoulders. But his attitude seemed to put most of it back. He just eyed her, like she was something he wanted to squish. Now, she felt like she was going to cry.
"Where did you go?" Mr. Gibbs asked.
"For a walk in the woods." Jack smiled.
"Well, then, come in for a bit to drink." Mr. Gibbs said.
Jack shook his head. "No thanks, I'm awfully tired. The Black Pearl awaits me." He slipped past Eden and Mr. Gibbs. A smile was painted on his face.
"Jack, you can sleep in the inn now." Eden said.
Jack stopped, his smile faded. He turned around on his heel and look coldly into her eyes. "Nope, no can't do." Without another word he twirled back on his heel and nearly ran to the ship. Eden felt tears springing to her eyes. 'He hates me,' she thought, 'What did I do?'
"You can sleep in the inn," Jack said to himself, mocking Eden. Already he knew why he left in the first place. To get rid of annoying females like her. He didn't know why but he found her annoying. All women were becoming annoying now. But why?
Climbing the ship's ramp, Jack stopped. He turned around and looked about the town once more. This is where he first came to when he was on the Black Pearl. That place he was at was the first place he met Jessie. She was singing on the rock and he followed her voice. Ever since then, he kept her secret, his secret.
He had fallen in love with her blonde hair, her mysterious blue, purple eyes, her siren's voice. But now all of her was swallowed up by the horizon. Was she still alive like that lady told him? Deep down inside, he believed her, but on the outside, doubt surrounded him.
Stopping his own thoughts, Jack walked across the deck and into the cabin where a cozy bed awaited him. He took off his heavy coat, belts and weapons. Setting his rough hat onto a small table, Jack let himself topple onto the bed. Instantly, he fell asleep.
The clouds rolled along the horizon, as the sun fell to the ground. The greens, reds, oranges, purples and all the other beautiful colors blended with eachother, stretching far through the sky, only to be fading into the dark shadows of the night where small sparkling gems began to dot the sky.
Eden stood up on the same bluff that Jack almost jumped off of. Below was the deep ocean. Beyond, was a mystery.
"What's going on?" Eden whispered to herself. She was confused. Why was Jack mad at her? Was it what she said? But she didn't mean to make him mad.
While thinking, she stared at the fading afterglow of the sun. After it diminished, her gaze steered to the Black Pearl. There she saw a shadow move about. He was putting down the sails. Someone was stealing the Black Pearl!
With panic, Eden ran down towards the Black Pearl. Who was taking the ship? Without thinking, she crept onto the deck and hid in the shadows.
"Bloody cripes!" A voice whispered.
It was Jack! But what was he doing taking the Black Pearl? Where was he going?
"Wherever he's going, I'm going too." Eden whispered to herself as she watched Jack take the ship out to see. But at the same time, she felt lonely and home sick. She already missed her home.
The sun began to rise the next morning. Jack was steering the ship towards the direction where he thought the same horizon was that he lost his treasure to. Thinking to himself of all the places that they stopped and what they did, Jack became very determined to find that horizon. But the sound of soft snoring upset his thoughts. Bringing out his revolver, Jack left the wheel and followed the noise where he came to the stairs. Underneath the stares it came from.
When he pulled the dark blanket that covered it, Jack lifted his gun. When he saw Eden, his expression turned hard.
"Bloody hell!" Jack shouted, "Why are you following me!"
Eden opened her eyes to a very angry Jack.
'Uh-oh'
