Jack and Eclipse made their way out of the tavern and to the docks.
"Oh no!" Eclipse said with a worried expression.
"What?".
"My boat is gone!! Somebody stole it!" sure enought the boat was gone and Eclipse was furious.
"No matter,love. We can take my boat."
"Really you would do that?" Jack nodded and Eclipse gave him a big hug. "THANK YOU JACK!!".
They found his boat and climbed on board. Eclipse was wanted to just go back to sleep but couldn't. She didn't wanted tohave that horrible dream once again. The thought of seeing her parent's bloodied up bodys agsin made Eclipse's eyes swell up with tears,but they didn't come out. She didn't want to make a fool of herself and cry in front of Jack that would be too embarassing. A few hours past and they hadn't said a word to each other. Jack noticed the silence and broke it.
"So you're being the silent type now are we?" he said with a smile.
"Just watching the sunset. It's very beautiful." it certainly was. A splash of pink with whirls of orange and red which made it look like a beautiful curtain about to cover up the sea.
Jack had moved closer to her and smiled as he said, "Sure is. I've never seen one like that." once he had said that dolphins came underneath the boat and made it shake. The dolphins jumped up and chirped.
"I find those creatures fascinating. They look so graceful." as they looked at the sunset it quickly changed into light grey clouds sprinkling rain on them. Eclipse closed her eyes and sighed. She enjoyed the rain,even when it stormed,she loved to feel it on her skin. Just then a lightning bolt struck behind her on the horizon and made Jack jump at how bright the color was. The thunder cracked and made Eclipse jump and crawl from the side of the boat into Jack. "Sorry. I forgot you were here."
"That's funny because people usually know when I'm here."
"How?"
He said this with a smile, "Their belongings start disappearing."
"You steal their things?!"
"One of the things about being a pirate,love. You steal to survive or if your bored."
Eclipse found that pretty funny and let out a giggle. She then remembered that she was backed into Jack and sat next to him instead. When she fell asleep later on Jack saw that she was disturbed. He tried shaking her awake,but it didn't work. So he tried again and again until she woke up with and big gasp that startled Jack. She was breathing heavily and had a snarling face. She found her pistol and pointed it at Jack. "Eclipse it's me Jack."
"LIAR!! I DON'T KNOW ANYBODY BY THE NAME OF JACK!!!!" she yelled with that snarl.
"Eclipse wake up. You're still asleep." at this point she finally woke up and started crying. "Love,why are you crying?"
"Because I just want this dream to go away!! Do you know what it feels like to see nothing but your parents dead for 10 years everytime you go to sleep? It starts getting to the point where you start to break down and want to kill yourself. I'm almost at that point Jack and I need your help." Jack wondered what he could do.
"Well what can I do?"
"I need you to promise me you won't push me away like the other men. Please Jack you're the only hope I have."
Jack thought about it for a while and finally said,"Alright love. I promise." That night Eclipse lay awake in silence while Jack slept. She would look at him and smile whenever he would snore and mumble. She said a prayer and then started to sing softly,a song her mother would sing for her at night.
"Hush,hush yime to be sleeping
Hush,hush dreams come a-creeping
Dreams of peace and of freedom
So smile in your sleep bonny baby
Once our valleys were ringing
With songs of our children singing
But now sheep bleat till the evening
And shielings lie empty and broken
Hush,hush time to be sleeping
Hush, hush, dreams com a-creeping
Dreams of peace and of freedom
So smile in your sleep bonny baby"
