They were five days from arriving at the island, give or take a few days, depends on what the weather is like. But the winds finally picked up and were making good progress.
Jack sat alone in his cabin only his bottle of rum for company. He thought about the last two weeks and what Bartholomew wanted with his daughter. He tired to come up with other reasons but he knew exactly why he wanted revenge and why he took Abi to do seek it.
He sat at his round table looking out the small window, looking at the stars, when he heard a knock on the door. "Come 'n." He said with a slur. Will walked in and sat down beside Jack. The sat in silence, Jack passed Will the bottle and watched him take a large chug of it. He passed it back to the pirate.
"Do you think she is alright?" asked Will. Jack nodded his head "She'll be jus' fine." He said looking at the floor. Will saw the look in Jack face that made him believe that Jack was worried and that she wasn't fine at all.
"What does he really want, Jack?" Will asked trying to get information out of the pirate. Jack just looked up at him "His daughter!"
Abi spent a lot of time with Bart's daughters. They would go for walks on the beach and sword fight with wooden swords. They would lie in the sand as the girls told her stories that they made up. Abi would enjoy their company. It was a whole lot better then sitting in the cell wait for the week to go by. She couldn't believe how trusting Bart seemed to be.
Abi sat under a palm tree breathing in the fresh ocean air. He mind went to her father; she was wondered what would happen to him when he would come, if he was coming. She did want him to get hurt or to give up his ship. She loved that ship just as much as he did. She missed sailing on it. Abi knew that she had to do something but she wasn't sure. She looked over and saw Bart talking to some of his men. Probably their plans for when Jack would arrive.
She heard a pair tiny footsteps coming behind her. "Abi!" the girls shouted with joy. They loved being around her. They often told Abi that they wanted to be just like her when they were older. This flattered Abi and was happy that someone looked up to her.
They sat beside her "What were you thinking about? Asked Hailey. Abi looked at her and smiled "Nothing much." Abi then sat in a peaceful silence with the girls. They were all content; thou Abi's mind was trying to come up with a plan. Any plan.
A small grin came over Abi, as she stared at the rowboat that was on the shore. She looked at the oldest girl "Hailey, can you do something for me?" The girl looked up "Anything for you."
Late that night, Abi paced in her cell. She wasn't sure if her plan was going to work. She was sure if that it didn't should would be a dead woman. Her heart was racing as she waited for her plan to begin. She looked out the cell window and saw that it was raining out side, a light tropical rain. She was sure that everyone was sound asleep in their beds.
Abi then heard tiny footsteps in the hall. She smiled and walked to the door window to see the girl. Hailey looked up at her and held out the key. Abi smiled at the girl "Good job. Now get me out." The girl looked down the hall before she unlocked the door.
Abi walked out and gave the girl a hug "Thank you Hailey. Now you have to go back to bed before they find out that you help me." The girl was sad "I want to go with you." Abi crouched down to her level "Hailey, you have to say here with you family." The girl nodded her head understandingly. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a shell necklace. "I made this for you." Abi looked at the present then took the necklace and placed it around her neck "How do I look?" Hailey laughed as she watched Abi make a pose "It suits you." Then she gave Abigail one last hug and quietly ran back up to her room.
Abi took a deep breath and walked down the hall and up the stairs of the cellar. She looked around to make sure no one was around. Then she silently walked through the entrance hall and made her way outside.
She looked at where she needed to go. The rowboat was still on the sand. She looked around to see if anyone was still awake but no one in sight. Then she took a deep breath and started running towards the beach.
Bartholomew couldn't sleep that night and was sitting in on his deck letting the rain fall on him. He looked down and saw Abigail running. "Bloody hell." He went into his room and found his gun. He went back on the deck and aimed the gun at her leg.
BangHe shot her in her right leg making her fall in the sand. He hears her scream and watches her lie on the beach. He smiles then runs out of the room and out of the house. She is still lying where he last saw her.
Abi looks back and sees him slowly walk towards her loading his gun. She looked ahead and sees the boat waiting for her. She gets the strength and stands up and starts to limp alone holding her leg.
BangHe shot her in her right shoulder making her fall a second time. Abi looks back at him then forward again crawling to the boat that was a foot away from her. She touches the boat but doesn't have the strength to stand up. She lays her whole body on the sand.
She could hear Bart walking in the sand. The rain was getting heavier. Bart stopped beside Abi's body lying in the wet sand. He grabbed her left forearm and brought her to her knees. She looked at him as sand covered her left side of her face.
"That wasn't very smart on your part." He said with a slight smile. He brought her to her feet and started dragging her back to the house. She limped along in pain. "You know I was really beginning to like you and you had to do something stupid like trying to run away."
He brought her into a different cell. It was smaller then the other one and there was no window. He led her to the back wall of the cell and turned her around so her back was facing it.
Then he took irons that were attached to the wall and put them around her wrist. "I really didn't want it to come to this but you seem to be just like your father." Then he turned and left the cell locking the door behind.
Abi leaned on the wall then slid down sitting alone in the dark. She was thankful that the chains gave her a little leeway, but not too much.
She could feel the pain from the bullets that entered her body. She could feel the blood running down her back.
The door opened again and she saw a short man come in. He put a bandage around her shoulder and another around the leg. They didn't want her to die of the lost of blood. She watched the man tend to her.
Then she was left in the dark once more.
Ok here is the next chapter sorry it took me so long to write it. I hope you all like it.
