After what seemed like forever, (which I'm sure it wasn't), I finished the map book. I heard a knock on my door, and I hastily pushed the map book back on the shelf. I went over to the door, and opened it, for it to reveal Captain Grant Sparrow.
"Hello, I'm Captain Grant Sparrow. Jack, my son, told me that your name is Lily Bridges, that correct?" Captain Sparrow said in his deep voice, with a touch of friendliness, which I was more that welcome to hear.
"Yes, my name is Lily Bridges." I say to answer her question.
"Well, I'm not sure if Jack told you this or not, but this was his sister's room. He name was Ja…"
"Jacqueline, yes, I know. Uhh, Jack told me her name." I quickly covered up. I didn't want to mention the diary, because I kind of wanted to read it, and also, what girl, alive or dead, wants her father reading her diary?
"Yes, well, a few years back, she was traded. Her 'lover' traded her soul to Davy Jones. And we… we haven't seen her for… years." He was looking off into space, with a sad expression on his face. I think he would have cried if I weren't in the room with him. I wonder what it would be like to be traded to Davy Jones. By you're boyfriend too! Well, I hope that I don't have to find out.
Then, I have the courage to ask Captain Sparrow a question.
"Captain, why am I aboard your ship? I mean, what did I do to trigger your men to chase me down, and take me here?
"Aye, lass, I knew ye would be asking that question soon. Well, let me tell you one thing first, I didn't ask them to capture any innocent people, such as your self. Its just, once in a while, when we raid a town like yers, my men they…. ah, let me put it this way. They couldn't find enough gold, so they took ye instead. That make sense?" He ended kind of angrily. Which made me feel a great sense of pride for him. He didn't want innocent people captured. I nod my head. But, I still didn't get how pirates could be in my town, when all this probably happened over 240 years ago! Then, the Captain speaks, which stops my train of thought.
"Well, I best be goin' now. Oh, and by the way, I think that my son, Jack, likes you a bit more than a friend." He grinned like Jack, which is probably where he got his infamous grin.
