Four
Jack's POV
As I watched Francesca walk to her ship I thought about what Barbossa was going to do and if he was going to take her sword. Then decided that I would have to beat Barbossa and steal her sword before he does and then quickly flea, leaving both Francesca and Barbossa behind. But when shall I do this? I would have to wait till she falls asleep which shouldn't be difficult because of the amount of rum she had tonight.
"Well, I best be gett'n to sleep, the rum is gett'n to me. I will see you bright n' early tomorrow morn'n.", I said turning around and slowly walking to my cabin. I hope Barbossa bought my fake alibi and that he wouldn't beat me to the sword.
After I spoke Barbossa nodded and walked toward his ship. He was up to something I could feel it. He was going to try and get that sword. I then thought about the monkey that Barbossa had, the stupid, annoying monkey that would never die. Where was this monkey? How come it didn't come onboard with Barbossa? That ugly thing was constantly with him, so how come it wasn't with him? I had a feeling that this monkey was either dead or in on Barbossa's plan.
After around fours hours, I got up and snuck out of my cabin hoping that no one was out there and that Francesca was in a deep sleep. I crept slowly across the Pearl's deck and headed my way to her ship. I then grabbed a rope that was attached to the mast and swung onto Francesca's ship. Everything was lit up via moonlight. Her ship was amazing and breathtaking. It, to me, was the perfect ship. The wood was so smooth and everything looked so beautiful. This ship looked like a ship that I would love to commandeer. But I was not here to steal a ship, but instead to steal Francesca's sword. I looked around her ships deck and saw what looked like the captains quarters and crossed the deck towards the doors. The doors, which hopefully led to her room, were beautiful too. They were almost all glass with wooden etchings of roses and skulls similar to the etchings on her sword. I then slowly opened her door and saw her sleeping perfectly with her head gently leaning back on her pillow. She looked like and angel and it was truly breathtaking. Her eyes were gently closed and her mouth looked as if the corners were slightly lifted up into a small smile. I had a sudden urge I couldn't resist. Therefore I slowly walked up to her leaned down and gently pressed my lips against hers. Her lips felt so smooth against mine. Even though she had no idea that I was kissing her, the kiss was one of the best kisses I have ever had. The moment our lips touched, I felt at peace and that this was meant to be. I then remembered why I came here and slowly stood up straight and looked around her room for the sword. I scanned the room but found nothing. Then, I looked through her drawers and around her desk but still found nothing. If the sword wasn't here then where was it? I looked back over at Francesca and once again had an urge to kiss her but then I saw something out of the corner of my eye, it was moving and near the door leading out of her room. I quickly glanced over to the direction the movement was coming from and it was gone. I then hastily walked out of the room and looked around her ship's deck but saw nothing. I started walking over to the Pearl then noticed something was missing. The rope that I had used to swing onto Francesca's ship was gone and there on the Pearl was indeed Barbossa's monkey swinging on the rope which I used to get onto her ship. After the monkey screamed at me as if it was laughing at me swung off the rope crossed the deck and jumped onto Barbossa's shoulder. Once I saw Barbossa with the annoying monkey on his shoulder, he smiled at me and lifted a sword and stared at it in the moonlight. As I looked closer at the sword he was holding, I noticed the golden handle and the etching that cover the sword. He had still beaten me to it. He had gotten the sword before I did and now I was stuck on her ship with no way of getting back on mine.
Barbossa then walked over to the railing of the Pearl and said, "Good bye Jack, thank you for giving me back my Pearl, allowing me to steal this sword, and for giving both the Pearl's crew and Francesca's crew. I will use all of these to my best advantage." As Barbossa said this, the Pearl began to move and take sail. Barbossa was taking the Pearl and Francesca's crew who were still probably drinking rum or unconscious form drinking rum in the galley. Now what am I going to do? I had to get the Pearl, the sword, and Francesca's crew back. All I need now is a plan.
