Chapter 9: Spanish Town

"Sophie,are you okay?" Elizabeth asked noticing my far off gaze as we got closer to the land we were sailing toward.

"No Elizabeth, I'm not okay at all. We are docking in Spanish Town." I said looking at her. Elizabeth was the only one that knew about my past. She was the only one I could trust with my secret.

"Wait that means-" I cut her off. "It means that we're all going to die and it will be my fault." I said, lowering my eyes to the deck. I didn't feel like looking at anyone right know.

"You haven't told the Captain yet?" She aked. I could fell her eyes on me the whole time she was talking.

"No. I don't want to talk about it. Ecspecially with a man I met a less than a month ago. It took me four years to tell you." I said , feeling ashamed.

"Sophie you must tell the Captain. All of our lives depend on it. We're practically throwing ourselves at the noose."

"I can't tell him Elizabeth and besides that happened over 6 years ago. I doubt they would even remember me. I dont look as I did."

"You look the same to me Sophie. Please, do not do anything stupid." She said pleading, I knew I should tell Jack but I just couldn't. Not yet anyway.

"I'm sorry Elizabeth but I'm not telling him. It hurts too much." I said.

She just sighed and walked away. I walked to the helm I had to talk to Jack.

"Jack. Did you know we were sailing into Spanish Town?" I asked him. Getting to the point, I didn't feel like playing games at this moment.

"O'course I did,luv. Captain Jack Sparrow never sails blind. He always knows where he's going." He said smiling broadly.

"Are you crazy? Most of the Navy resides in that part of Jamaca!" I yelled.

He winced and said "Don't worry,luv. You haven't forgot who I am, have you?"

"No." I said sighing "Your Captain Jack Sparrow, the best pirate in the whole Carribbean."

"Not just the Carribbean,luv. The whole world!" He shouted proudly. I rolled my eyes and continued on the forgotten subject.

"Jack. I don't think this is a good idea."

"Triffles,luv. This is a wonderful idea. Plus we are low on rum." He said and I snorted.

"Your risking our lives to get rum?" I asked furious.

"Yepp."

I threw my hands up in defeat and started to walk away. Before I had gone two steps a arm slipped around my waste and pulled me back. In about to seconds I was pressed up against Jack's chest.

"Don't worry,luv. I won't let anything harm you." He said, his eyes had lost their playful shine and had suddenly turned serious.

"I trust you Jack. I'm just afraid,that's all." I said not able to break his gaze.

"Afraid of what,luv?" He asked, confusion now in his eyes.

"Nothing to worry about Captain." I said as I pushed away from his chest and started to walk away.

Before I started down the steps, I turned and looked at Jack once more.

"Jack?" I called.

"Yes luv?" he had replied

"Thank you" I said.

"For what luv?" He asked

"Everything." I had said. Before I turned I could see that his eyes once again held the playfulness that had gone missing for the last few minutes.

I thought I had heard an "Anything for you,luv" whispered before I went down the stairs.
