Chapter 4: Brother and Sister, Pirates and Friends.
Jack looked out towards the horizon as he thought about what they were going to do now. Karla was enjoying the sea breeze and watching the ships as she sat by her brother's side. Jack smiled sadly at her and ruffled her hair. Karla looked at him, her bright blue eyes shining with longing.
"You know what i wanna be when i grow up, Jack?" She asked seriously.
"What's that, sis?" Jack asked looking at her with a grin. He was pretty sure what she was going to say.
"A pirate! I wanna be a pirate, so i can sail on the pretty boats and go anywhere i want!" She said smiling Joyfully. Jack looked at her with and idea glittering in his chocolate brown eyes. Karla just gave him an excellent idea, but hopefully it would work.
"Well Karla, I think ye will be able to do that long before your grown up, lass. Why not sign up to be pirates now?" Jack said as he jumped up and waited for Karla to do the same. He walked along the docks until he spotted a ship that looked most likely to be a pirate ship. A scruffy man in his forties was getting ready to set sail.
"C'mon, sis! Be quick." Jack said as he started to run towards the sailor. "Oi! Wait up! Sir!" Jack called as he approached the scuffy pirate. the pirate turned around and grinned at the young lad. "And what would ye business be wanted ter talk to me, then aye?" He said with a cheerful voice looking at Jack expectantly for an answer. Jack looked at the sailor with a smile.
"Ye wouldn't happen to be the Captain of this ship, would ye?" He said as he looked around to make sure Karla had catched up and saw her next to him. Then he looked back at the scuffy man. The pirate nodded.
"Aye, I be the Captain of the fastest ship in the Caribbean mate! The name's Jimmy Williams. So why would ye be asking?" He asked as he bent down so he was eye level with the two children. Jack looked at him with pleading eyes.
"Me and me sister were wonderin' if we could sign up on ye ship and be pirates. We are in a bit of trouble here and we need somewhere to stay and eat. We will work for it. promise!" Jack asked desperatly. and Karla looked at Captain William's with puppy dog eyes.
"We would be very greatful and happy too!" Karla added. The Captain chuckled and ruffled the children's hair.
"Well, ye can't sign up if i don't know ye names, savvy?" The captain said.
"I'm Jack Sparrow, and this here is me little sister, Karla." Jack said looking at Captain Williams. "So can we sail on ye ship and be pirates now?" Jack said looking at his ship. He opened his mouth with awe. It was the most beautiful ship he had ever seen. It was black all over, even the sails were black, he wondered how he didn't notice that before.
"ye ship is amazing, Captain! What's it called. The Captain looked at the ship with pride in his eyes.
"Aye, 'tis beautiful, she be called The Black Pearl. And ye, I almost forgot, Welcome aboard ye little pirates. some of me crew won't be happy with a girl aboard, but pay them no mind, savvy?" The pirate said turning to look at Jack again. Jack smiled at him with utmost greatfulness.
"Oh, thankye Captain! Ye have no idea how much this means to us!" The Captain nodded again and looked toward the town.
"Well, i think i will need to get ye the effects ye need to be a true pirate, aye?" The Captain said as he walked with them towards the town.
Jack smiled genuinely for the first time in his life. His mother always told him that pirated were mean scoundrels who had no heart. but now he believed different. Captain Williams seemed nice enough, and he was even going to buy Jack a sword and teach him how to fight with one. Karla was going to get a small knife for now untill she was old enough to learn how to fight with a sword. Maybe they were finally free from hell now, after all.
