Family Reunion
Chapter 4:
A Fellow Pirate Lord
Thanks for the reviews everyone! I love getting them! Just keep 'em up, and I'll do the same with the chapters. It's quite easy for you, not as easy for me.
So keep up the great reviewing, and here's the next chapter. It will have some present stuff in here, it's not all going to be flashback. A reviewer kindly asked me to do so, and I think it's a good idea, so here you go everyone! Chapter 4!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Barbossa had two buckets of water in his hands as he, Will and Gibbs went below deck to wake up Jack. The 3 were just about to descend the stairs when they heard a voice shout out to them. They turned around to see a ship next to them and a woman on the ship yelling out to them from the helm.
Barbossa handed one bucket to Will, and handed the second bucket over to Gibbs. The two men watched as Barbossa went to the railing of the ship to get as close as he could to the neighboring ship.
"Who be the Captain over there?" The woman asked.
Gibbs and Will looked over at Barbossa.
"I be the only Captain standing." Barbossa replied.
"That doesn't quite answer my question. Who's the Captain o' this ship?" The woman asked.
"It be me, Captain Barbossa. Captain Sparrow is out at the moment, but he be here as well. What business do ye' have here, lass?" Barbossa asked.
"That's Captain Sparrow to you, Captain Barbossa." The woman yelled back.
Will and Gibbs dropped their buckets. The buckets fell to the ground and the water leaked every where on the deck.
Barbossa turned to see their shocked faces and the empty buckets on the ground. "What'd ya' do that fer' lads?" He demanded.
The two were speechless.
"Did-did she just say-Sparrow?" Will asked.
Barbossa glanced back at the woman. "Well Captain Barbossa? What's the matter with you and yer' crew? Girl got yer' tongue?" Captain Sparrow yelled back tauntingly.
"No lass. It be yer' name that got to us. Ye' said yer' name was what now?" Barbossa asked.
"I'll say it once more, but not again. Captain Sparrow is my name. Captain Angelina Sparrow." The woman said.
"Yer' not related t' Jack Sparrow are ya'?" Gibbs asked coming up beside Barbossa. Will followed and stood next to Gibbs.
"Unless ye can think of another Sparrow besides him, then aye, I be related t' said pirate. But that's beside the point. I be here to talk with me brother." Angelina said.
"Wait--brother? Jack never said he had a sister!" Will said amazed.
"There's a lot o' things Jack never said, mate." Captain Sparrow replied.
"Aye, that be true. But ya' can't be speakin' with Jack." Barbossa told her.
"And why is that?" Angie asked in a bit of an annoyed and impatient way.
"He, well, he's not conscious at the moment." Will said.
"Aye, Captain Sparrow. He hasn't been himself lately." Gibbs told her.
"How so?" Angie asked.
"It's a long story. Will here seems t' know the most. Why don't ya come aboard, and he'll explain it to ya'." Gibbs suggested.
"Aye. Thank you." Angie said. Angie got a bit closer to the Black Pearl and then cut off a rope, swung across her ship, and over to the Black Pearl, landing swiftly on her feet like a cat before Barbossa, Gibbs and Will, who had spun around watching her like hawks as she flew from one ship to the other.
"She really is Jack's sister." Gibbs stated as he watched how she landed aboard the ship.
"So, where be Will? The lad ya were talkin' about?" Angie asked.
"Right here Captain." Will felt a bit odd calling her Captain. He took a step forward.
"Why don't ya take me t' me brother, and then ya' can explain what's goin' on." Angie told him.
"Aye." Will nodded. He then led her down below deck to Jack's door.
"Pintel, Ragetti, excuse us. We need to see Jack." Will said.
"Aye master Turner." Pintel said, and him and Ragetti moved to the side and opened the door for the two pirates, then closed the door behind them.
Will glanced at Jack, still sleeping, and then back at Angie. Now that he looked at her up close, she truly did look like Jack. The hair, the face, the attitude/behavior, they even both wore a red bandana around their foreheads. It was like seeing doubles, only one was a man, and the other was a woman.
"Aww. Poor little Jacky!" Angie exclaimed in a whisper as to not wake Jack.
Will turned and looked at her. "Jacky?"
"Aye. That's his nickname. He looks almost the same as he did when I last saw him. He's grown a lot though, none the less." Angie said.
"So are you his younger sister?" Will asked.
"No. Older." Angie said.
"Older sister? So Jack's younger than you?" Will asked in disbelief.
"Aye. 3 years younger to be exact." Angie said.
"Wow. I mean-I never would have guessed." Will said.
"So tell me, what's wrong with Jacky?" Angie asked.
"Well, lately, he's been drinking a lot of rum. A lot more than usual. He's been spacing out a lot. Just this morning I came in to tell him we were close to Shipwreck Cove, and I watched as he didn't notice me standing there for 5 minutes. He looked like he was somewhere else, and was drinking a lot of rum. Probably without even knowing it. I even saw him cry. Then when he noticed I was there finally, he was so surprised he fell off his chair. When I asked him about the crying thing, he completely denied it. A few minutes after I had told him what I came to tell him, he came up above deck, and was so drunk, he couldn't walk. Then he started getting delusional. He thought that we were in here, and that Captain Barbossa was part of the Navy. He was screaming and yelling things and trying to attack Barbossa." Will finally finished. "He's not acting like himself at all. Do you know anything that could possibly make him act like this?" Will asked.
"The poor little guy! I think I know what's going on." Angie said.
"What is it?"
"He's thinkin' about the time Beckett captured our father's ship and he traded us fer his freedom. An' no, it's not Cutler Beckett, it was his father. Who is just as bad, if not worse than Cutler." Angie said.
"What happened?" Will asked.
"I need t' check somethin' very quick." She said ignoring his question. She walked over to Jack, and pulled down his shirt on the side so that it revealed his upper arms. She wasn't even shocked when she saw there was a visible scar of a deep cut in Jack's arm. "Just as I thought." She said pulling the shirt back up and giving a small sigh. "He's still got the cut from when one of the Royal Navy men cut him on the arm."
"How'd that happen?" Will asked.
Angie sat at the end of Jack's bed looking at Jack, and then she looked back at Will. "He was defendin' us both. But neither of us were quick enough to see the soldier come back down with his sword, and he cut Jack right on the arm. I remember bein' so freaked out about it when I finally woke up in the brig." Angie said.
"What happened to you?" Will asked, wanting to know more about the mysterious Jack Sparrow and what had happened to him and his sister.
"Well, I think Jack said that when that soldier cut 'is arm, I went straight into big sister mode. I started fightin' with that soldier, an' I think Jack said I was hit over the head with the hilt o' the sword by the soldier I was fightin'. When I woke up, I was in the brig of Beckett's ship with Jack." Angie said.
"But why did Beckett want you two?" Will thought aloud.
"I don't know. I didn't stay with him for long." Angie said.
"What do you mean?" Will asked a bit confused at what she meant.
"Well, I escaped. With the help o' Jack o' course. But, he stayed behind to-" Angie couldn't say it, because it hurt so much to talk about it.
Will sighed. "I'm sorry. I know it's probably tough for you to talk about this."
Angie shut her eyes, and silently nodded. "You have no idea Will. No idea."
"I'm sorry for asking you about everything. I--I had no idea." Will said, now sorry that he had made her rip open old wounds.
"It's not your fault." Angie said looking down at Jack again. "We've been through so much. An' Jack, I have no idea what he went through after I left. An' that's about 20 years or so that I don't know about." Angie said. "An' just imagine. Havin' t' live with the Beckett's. Havin' t' do everythin' that Beckett tells ya' to. Poor Jack." Angie said again. "But what he's gone through, it's made 'im stronger." She assured Will.
"Aye. I'm sorry Captain Sparrow." Will said.
"Just call me Angelina." Angie said. She took Jack's hat off, and stroked his hair, and looked at him.
"So what are you doing around here?" Will asked after a few minutes of silence.
"I'm one o' the 9 Pirate Lords. Armand the Corsair was killed in battle. He gave his title t' me." Angie said.
"When did this happen?" Will asked.
"A week ago. Unfortunately, the Brethren Court an' everyone else was so focused on some other things such as the song bein' sung." Angie said. "An' somethin' else I'm not too sure of. So because o' that, they didn't notice much when Armand left me in charge."
"Aye." He nodded understandingly. "The other thing that was of concern was Jack." Will said.
"What? What happened to him?" Angie asked getting all big sisterly again.
"He was trapped in Davy Jones's locker. But we saved him, and he's back, obviously. But now we've got to get him back in one piece again before we get to Shipwreck Cove." Will said. "We can't have him like this at the meeting." He added glancing at Jack.
"Aye. I think I can help with that." Angie said. "Step back, an' stay quiet. I'm goin' t' try an' wake 'im. Savvy?"
"Aye." Will said. He stepped back, and watched as Angie got up, and shook Jack by the shoulders. "Jacky! Jacky wake up!" She yelled.
Jack groaned subconsciously, and swatted a hand at her. "Just a little longer Angie!"
Angie chuckled. "No Jacky. Now." Angie said.
Jack groaned again.
"Come on Jacky! Wake up! Now!" Angie ordered.
Jack opened his eyes, and slowly got up. He then looked at Angie, but since he was still a bit sleepy and still a bit dazed, he thought she was someone else. He grabbed his sword as Angie arose from the bed and stepped back so he could get up out of bed. "Touch me again an' I'll kill ya!" He yelled holding his sword at her.
"Jacky calm down! It's me!" Angie said, trying to hide laughter.
Will was laughing.
"Whelp! What are you doing in me Captain's Cabin! Who's this? Angie?" He looked at her as his mind and eyes came into focus.
"Yes Jacky. It's me." She said softly.
"Angie, what are you doing here?" Jack asked as he lowered his sword and put it away. He flopped onto the bed and stared at her.
"Should I leave?" Will asked.
"Yes." Jack said.
"No" Angie said at the same time as Jack.
Jack looked at Angie. "What are you doing?"
"I want him t' stay. He's a good man, Jacky." Angie said smiling at Will.
Will flashed a smile at her. "Well that's a first." Will muttered.
"Angie..." Jack said looking at her.
"So can I stay in here? Or no?" Will asked.
"Aye." Angie said. "You can stay, Will."
Will nodded, and leaned against the wall watching the two siblings.
Jack looked at Will. "Ya' lucky eunuch. Usually it takes a while fer her t' trust someone."
"Jacky, be nice."
"I'm really liking your sister Jack. She's nice." Will said giving a smirk.
"Oh shut it!" Jack said in an irritated fashion.
"Jacky, he cares about ya' ya' know. He truly does. He's a good friend. I don't know why ya' treat 'im like that." Angie lectured.
"Yer' worse than Lizzie!" Jack exclaimed. "What happened t' Angie?"
Angie chuckled as well as Will. "Well, I'm not too sure on who 'Lizzie' is, but I can assure ya' Jacky. Nothing happened t' Angie. She's right here." Angie said.
"'Lizzie' would be my fiancé." Will informed her.
"Ah, ok." Angie nodded. "Congrats, mate."
"Thank you." Will smiled.
Angie nodded, then turned back to look at her little brother. "So I heard that ya' were havin' some drinkin' problems worse than dad, eh?" Angie asked as she put her hands on her hips and looked at him.
"Have not!" Jack said like a little boy as he folded his arms and looked at her.
"Have too!" Will interjected, still leaning against the wall with his arms folded over his chest.
Jack glared at Will. "What do you know ya' eunuch?"
"Jacky!"
"Stop callin' me Jacky! I'm not 10 anymore!" Jack snapped.
"Well I'm not 13 anymore but ya still call me Angie!" Angie retorted.
"Oi Angie! That's different! Jacky would be a name ya' call a 10 year old to annoy him like his dad did, and his sister decided t' call said boy that too!" Jack said.
"An' how is Angie any different? My full name is Angelina, so why can't ya stick with that? I've always hated that nickname anyway, but I let ya call me that fer the sake of it!" Angie said.
"Ok you two knock it off!" Will yelled.
"Shut up, Whelp! This is not your fight!" Jack shouted back at Will.
"Jack knock it off! You should have some more respect towards yer crew! Maybe if ya did, then they'd have some more toward you! Apologize to Will!" Angie ordered.
"Yer not me mum Angie!" Jack shouted.
"But I am yer older sister, and you'll listen t' me when I say for you t' apologize to Will for insultin' 'im!" Angie barked.
Jack shook his head. "Yer not me dad, yer not me mum, yer not Captain o' this ship, and yer not Beckett!" Jack said.
"So ya' only listen to them then? But not yer sister?" Angie asked.
Jack was silent a moment, then nodded. "Yep! Or at least at the moment I don't listen to you! Yer bein' ridiculous! I will not apologize t' 'im!"
"Jack yer bein' stuck up, arrogant, stupid, and just plain rude! This is a stupid thing t' fight over!" Angie cried.
"Jack, Angelina, please, stop fighting! I'm use to his insults. I don't like them, and sure, they annoy me, but you can't start fighting because of it!" Will insisted.
"Shut up!" The two yelled looking at him fiercely.
Will just stared at them, and then they went on fighting. Will went upstairs, and found Barbossa. "Captain Barbossa, can you help me with something?"
"Does it have t' do with the yelling comin' from down below?"
"Aye."
"Aye. It be gettin' hard to work when ya' got two people fightin' below deck as loud as that."
"Aye, that it is. They're right in Jack's cabin. I tried to stop them, but it was no use."
"Ah, I see the problem, Master Turner. I'll get it all under control." Barbossa said.
"Thank you." Will said. He led Barbossa downstairs, and they opened the door, where Jack and Angie were still fighting.
"I'm yer older sister! Ya should listen t' me!" Angie yelled.
"I'll listen to ya when I want to, but not now! I'm old enough t' make me own decisions and such!" Jack yelled back.
"ENOUGH!" Barbossa screamed at them.
The two turned to look at Barbossa.
Barbossa grabbed Jack, and took him to the other side of the room. "Now what seems t' be the problem here?" He asked.
"We don't need yer help Hector! We're just fine thank you." Jack insisted. "Will you let go already?"
"Not until ya' tell me what's goin' on here! The yellin's killin' me ears as well as the crew's!" Barbossa said.
"I'll tell ya the problem! Jack here just won't listen t' me!" Angie said.
"An' who here is the older one?" Barbossa asked looking from one to the other.
"I am. By 3 years." Angie said.
Barbossa looked at Jack, who was trying to break free of the tight, firm hold Barbossa had on his wrist. "Ya best not be tryin' t' escape Jack. It's no use. I'm not lettin' go any time soon." He paused. "If she's older, yer obliged t' listen t' her."
"Thank you Captain Barbossa." Angie said.
"Yer welcome dear." Barbossa said flashing a smile.
"Why does everyone choose her side?" Jack asked.
Everyone in the room ignored Jack's comment.
Jack tried to break out of Barbossa's hold again, but he only tightened it more. Suddenly Jack gave a small cry of pain. "Ow! Let go! Yer hurtin' me wrist!" He cried out.
Barbossa loosened his grip. "What be the problem Jack?"
"Didn't ya hear? Yer crushin' me wrist!" Jack said.
"That's the wrist that he cut you on, isn't it?" Angie asked.
Jack looked at her, then down at the ground, and nodded.
Will looked at them. "What are you talking about? Who cut you on the wrist?"
"Cutler Beckett. When he was 10. So that cut's still there and still hurtin', eh Jacky?" Angie asked.
"You blabber mouth!" Jack yelled at his sister.
"I was just answerin' the lad's question Jack." Angie said.
"And maybe I didn't want you t' answer it!" Jack said acting like a stubborn and whiney little kid.
"Well too late. I just did."
"So that's why ya always wear the black wristband there." Barbossa muttered.
"Aye. That be why. But no one speaks of this! No one! You hear me? Not even you Angie!" Jack said looking over at Angie and pointing his finger at her.
Angie grabbed his hand, and lowered it. "Jacky, calm down. Don't worry, no one in here will tell. Will looks like a man of his word, and Barbossa doesn't seem like the man that would go off tellin' everyone." Angie said.
"You don't know either of them the way I do, sis."
"But I always had a knack for tellin' when someone was trustworthy Jacky, and these guys I can truly say are such. So calm down. Captain Barbossa, you can let go of him now. Jacky, lay down, and rest a little bit more, and I'll see ya when we get t' Shipwreck Cove." Angie said.
"Bu-!"
"Don't fuss! Just do it!" Angie yelled back at him before turning and leaving.
Jack for once actually stared at her as she left, closed his mouth, and sat down on the bed like a trained dog.
"Rest well Jack. We'll get ya when we arrive. But for now, I think ya need t' be alone." Barbossa said.
"See ya Jack." Will said.
The two left the room, closed the door behind them, and then bolted it shut so that Jack couldn't get out.
"I've never seen Jack actually take orders from someone else." Will said as they left Jack's cabin after closing the door.
"You may not, but I have." Barbossa said as they walked above deck, and watched as Angie swung back over to her ship, and began to sail away. Barbossa went to the wheel and took over, and started after Angie's ship, renamed after she had gotten it from Armand, The Red Lightning.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Ok, so maybe it's not flashback at all, but I do have present stuff in here. Next chapter does have a lot of Flashback, I'm sorry. It isn't in order of what happened last time with Beckett, that'll probably be later on, but this next chapter is based on another part of Jack's childhood, which I think you'll enjoy!
Sorry about the really long chapter, I just couldn't stop typing! lol. But hopefully, you got a lot out of this, and you enjoyed it. Thanks for reading, and please, please, PLEASE review!!
