Chapter 3: Meeting the captain
When Bri woke up the following morning, she could hear lots of noise from the deck. It wasn't immediately clear for her, where she was, but after some thinking she remembered. She lay in a hammock. Beside her hammock there were other ones, empty right now, all the crew members were already out of bed.
As she looked to her right she saw canons attached to the wall of the ship. This ship was totally different from her father's. Her father's ship was a lot bigger and much cleaner. At the walls of this ship she saw lots of moisture, filth and cobwebs.
Bri stepped at the floor. Her hammock swung, because of her movements, calm to and fro. The young pirate, from who she still didn't know his name, lay in the hammock beside her, still sleeping. He was really quiet, he didn't snore nor move, the only reason she could tell he wasn't dead was because of the rhythmic movement of his chest.
Bri walked silent to the stairs. The stairs treads creaked under her weight. She came in a musty smelling hall. She grimaced because of the strong liquor smell. It was immediately clear where it came from. Against the wall boxes full of empty rum bottles were piled.
''There she is!'' A large man with a low voice screamed to his friends, pointing at Bri. ''The captain want to see her.'' Said another man Gibbs was he called, captain Jack Sparrow's first mate. He beckoned Bri and guided her through the crowd of interested crew members. Bri became nervous from all those eyes pointed at her. She didn't trust the people aboard this ship, they weren't just merchants, that was for sure.
She moved her hand slowly to the sword on her belt, just to feel more confident. She lost a part of her stress when she felt it was still there. ''I wouldn't do that again. You're really outnumbered, you know?'' Said Gibbs not unfriendly. Bri moved her hand away from her sword. She knew that she won't stand a chance against all those man, it was just nice to know that they hadn't removed her weapons.
''Captain, the girl is her.'' Gibbs and Bri stood just behind the helm, looking at the captain's back. The captain turned around on the ball of his foot, while waving his arms. He looked at Bri, very interested as if he was seeing her for the first time and then motioned her to come to him.
Bri did a few steps forward, but didn't came to close. She could smell the strong smell of rum from a distance and because of that she didn't thought it was necessary to get closer. His appearance made her flabbergasted. The dreadlocks, the things in his hair, like the bone for example, the giant hat, the strange beard, the dark eyes etc.
''Welcome at my ship, darling.'' He said with a soft and gentle voice. ''What's your name?'' The captain slowly walked towards Bri. Bri couldn't really describe his walk, it was just...very...different. ''Bri Mus, yours?'' She answered, while she didn't lost sight of jack for even a single moment.
''I'm captain Jack Sparrow, you may have heard of me.'' He said and it sounded almost hopefully. The name was familiar to Bri, but she didn't really knew why or who he was. ''No, never even a single word.'' She lied. Jack raise his eyebrows. ''Not even a teeny weeny bit?'' He kept his fingers close together to indicate how small he meant it could be. Bri shook her head.
''O, all right then.'' Jack thought for a moment what he wanted to ask. ''How did you get in the water love?'' He asked, now standing really close to Bri. ''I jumped.'' Bri took a cautions step back. Distracted by Jack's rather special appearance and his unique way of speaking. ''You jumped?'' Jack was not convinced. ''That doesn't sound really logical love. Why would you jump?''
Bri decided that it could no harm to tell the truth. ''Pirates, they attacked my ship, I escaped by jumping into the water.'' She explained. Jack leaned forward to her. His lips near Bri's right ear. ''Really.'' He whispered. Bri didn't know what to answer. Jack sparrow stepped back and turned around. Looking over the railing of his beloved ship: the pearl, while muttering: ''Interesting.''
''You're not a pirate then.'' He concluded. ''No..., but you are! Give my necklace back!'' Bri's necklace was gone, and she knew the pirate captain had taken it, while she didn't paid attention. A big smile formed on jack's face. He turned around again and leaned amused against the railing. ''I think I keep it, as a deposit for the fact that I allow you to sail with me.''
''That isn't fair!'' Shouted Bri angry. ''Pirate'' Jack replied shrugging. ''If you are a pirate, why did you take me on you ship anyway.'' Asked Bri curious. She stood close to him and looked him straight in the eyes. ''Love.. Ye may be useful.'' He said slowly. ''That's the reason?'' Outraged Bri stared at the smiling pirate. ''Yes.''
Bri took one last look at the man and then walked down the stairs away from the captain. Something jack didn't saw was the big smile at Bri's face when she walked away. He did however noticed the shiny thing in her hand and the fact that he was no longer in possession of her necklace.
