"If it's your ship then why is someone else sailing it?"
When I woke up it was really dark outside, I stood up and straightened my hair and my cloths then walked outside. It was actually really warm for us being in the middle of the ocean. I half expected it to be freezing. I walked over to the bow of the ship and leaned against one of the wooden poles holding the sails up on the higher deck.
"Nice night isn' it?" A voice said softly besides me. I looked over and saw Frank Johnson. One of the biggest men on the crew. "I Suppose."
I said standing up straighter. I never did like guys all that much. Not since I was a younger girl when the love of my life ran off to sea. "So Mrs. Meyer. I'd swear I'd seen ya 'round Tortuga before." He said putting his hands in his pocket. "You might have." I said looking around. "Did ye use ta work there?" he asked getting closer. Before I knew what had happened he had me pressed against the wall. One of his huge hands held my shoulder while the other one trailed along my stomach. "Please stop." I whimpered trying to get out of his hold. "I don't think so." He said his mouth now on my neck kissing it.
Boom. A pistol went off and Frank fell on the floor in a heap. His blood on my face. I looked over to see Jack standing there holding his gun still pointed at the dead body. I ran over and threw my arms around him before I even thought about it. "Thank you so much. I thought he was going to….to….." I trailed off now crying onto his shirt. "Tis fine love. Just lookin' out for me crew." He said looking at me. I realized how stupid I probably looked so I stood up and wiped the tears from my face. "I'm sorry Jack I got your shirt all wet." I said looking at the giant wet mark right on the middle of his white shirt. "Tis okay. It's not like ya did it on purpose." He said looking at it. Then he slipped it off. I got a glace at his muscular and tan chest with like a million tattoos before he put his vest back on. He noticed me looking at him then smiled. "Ya know love. If ye want to see more." He motioned to his body. "My cabin's open for ye all night." I just stared at him open mouthed.
How rude. Like I would ever even think of doing that with another man. A Pirate no less. I thought to myself as I stood there. "Thanks. But no thanks Captain Sparrow. If you don't mind I think I'll go back to bed." I said then turned around. "Bloody woman" I heard jack say to him self then he walked into his cabin and I went into mine.
The next few days we pretty much just sailed around and went into towns drinking and getting food and rum and other things we might need for a long trip. Jack kept saying we were almost there then he'd change his mind. He's look at his Compass. Muttering, "I know what I want. I know what I want." Gibbs kept saying that Jack knew what he was doing.
We had been sailing for about 2 weeks when Jack suddenly turned the ship around and into a small enclosed grotto that was big enough for about 2 ships. Gibbs and I ran up to the helm and looked at jack who had a small smile on his face. "Capn' where are we goin'?" Gibb's asked. "To the place the compass want's us to go to. Which is where I want us to go." Jack said simply as if that made complete since. "Captain Sparrow. How can a compass tell us where it wants us to go?" I asked looking confused. "Jack just smiled then nodded at Gibbs who took the wheel. "Because my dear Raven. This is no ordinary compass." He said holding it up. "Oh really. Then what kind of compass is it?" I asked putting my hands on my hips. He just smiled again then opened it. "It's a magical Compass. It doesn't point north true. But it does point to what your heart wants most." He said handing it to me.
"Oh please, Jack." I said looking at it. "Open it then." He said still smiling. I opened it and watched as the little arrow spun around in a circle then stopped pointing at my chest. I looked down and saw that I was wearing my locket. I handed Jack back his compass and took my locket off and looked at it. "Where did ye get that at Love?" Jack asked looking at it suspiciously. "I've had it since I was born. Greg, the man who raised me, said that when my mother abandoned me she left it with me." I said fiddling with it. Jack looked at it then smiled. "What song does it play?" He asked taking it from me. "A soft tune that reminds me of the ocean." I said then stopped. "I never even said that it plays music in the first place. How did you know?" I asked looking into his kohl lined eyes. "I…guessed. It looked like it migh' play music." He said his nose twitching as if smelling something nasty.
"Umm…Capn' is that umm is that what I think it is?" Gibbs said pointing towards a ship in front of us. It was panted black everything along with the sails, which were torn and shredded. There was a hole the size of a large cannon ball on the side of the captain's quarters. And one of the masts has fallen off the ship and was hanging onto it by merely pure luck most likely. "Well who ever that ship belongs to they surely take great care of it." I said looking at it. Jack was staring at it open mouthed in shock. "Capn' do you want to just take it or fight Barbossa?" Gibbs asked looking at Jack. "I say we take me ship then embrace the oldest and noblest tradition of running away." Jack said walking towards the captains' quarters to get his stuff. "Captain Sparrow?" I called turning around to face him. "Aye love." He said stopping and looking at me a small smile on his lips. "If it's your ship then why is someone else sailing it?"
Jack looked at me then sighed. "My Dear Eleanore," he said walking back over to me and draping his arm around my shoulder. "A few months ago, I was beaten and mutinied. They stole me ship. Barbossa did. Then left me stranded on an island. Mr. Gibbs too." He said frowning. "So I need help getting me ship, savvy." He said motioning towards the wrecked ship. "So are we to leave Grand Dam's ship here for them?" I asked looking into his brown eyes. "No." He said then took his arm off me and walked into the Captains' quarters. I sighed then went to my room and gathered my stuff.
"Okay crew, half of you are going to be coming with me and the other half will be staying on here with Mr. Gibbs. Eleanor you'll be coming' with me." Jack said once the crew was all lined up on the deck of the Scarlet Raven. "Now half of you come with us into the boats. Bring your weapons knowing Barbossa he probably left someone aboard the Pearl. We need to be quick no knowing when they might be back." He grabbed my hand and pulled me into one of the boats then after he rest of the crew members where on the other ones we headed towards the Pearl.
As we got closer I could see just how big she was. Even though she was rather bulky she was still beautiful. On the front was a wooden statue of a mermaid holding a bird. I never learned what those things were called. I never understood why ships were called she's either. Probably because it'd seem pretty odd if a guy said that he loved him, talking about his ship. "Love your doing it again." Jack said in my ear as I realized we were on the shore next to the Pearl. "Sorry Captain I lost my train of thought." I said grabbing my back and getting out of the boat. "Please dear call me Jack." He said as we started to climb up the side of the ship.
We got to the top and say two men sitting on the deck playing a game of dice. One was tall and skinny with blonde hair and the other shorter and fat and half bald. "Hello boys." Jack said jumping onto the deck. The short one jumped up and grabbed his sword. "What are you doin ere?" he asked as Jack stepped forward with his own sword out. "Getting me ship. What are you guys doing here in this place?" Jack asked looking around the cave. "Barbossa is seeing someone about the fountain." The tall man said as we all put our swords' away. (Jack had given me one and was in the process of teaching me how to use it right.) "What happened to me ship by the way?" Jack asked looking at the broken mast. "We got stuck in some sort of storm on our way ere." The short one said. "What about the Cannon shot hole in the side of the Captains quarters?" "That happened after we left ya in Tortuga." The tall one said walking over towards me. 'Oh right. Eleanore this here is Pintell," Jack said motioning towards the short one. "And Regettie." The tall one bowed. "A pleasure to meet you ma'am." He said smiling. "Well at lest SOME pirates have a sense of honor." I said bowing back at Regettie.
"Right well we must be on our way before barbossa comes back." Jack said pulling me towards the Hull. He stood there holding the wheel in his hand then started shouting out orders. Within fifth-teen minuets we were on our way. I was down below sitting in the rum store room when I heard some one open the door. I looked up from my book to see Jack staring at me. "What are you doing down here?" He asked taking a bottle of rum from the racks and sitting down next to me. "Reading. It's colder down here and quite." I said setting the book down. "I can see that. Care for some company?" He asked leaning back. "It's your ship." I said smiling. "So Eleanore tell me, what's the big secret behind you." He said looking at me. "You're serious?" I asked leaning away from him. "Yes I honestly curious." He said taking a swig from the bottle. "Hand me that bottle and I'll talk." I said smiling. He handed it to me and I took a swig then gave it back. Three bottles later I was in tears and Jack was holding me. "And then you two showed up in Tortuga." I whispered smelling how sweet he smelled. Almost fruity. "Eleanore?" Jack whispered in my ear. "Yes Jack?" I asked looking up. He wiped away a single tear from my cheek then leaned over and kissed me.
My first instinct was to push him away but for some reason my body took over and pushed itself closer to him. We sat there kissing for a good 2 minuets when suddenly I pushed him away. "I'm sorry Jack. I can't. I just can't." he just sat there staring at me his mouth still open. I sighed then grabbed my book and ran to my cabin.
