Chapter 10
Jack shut his eyes as silence filled the room, Elizabeth looked up at him both woried and anxious. She opened her mouth to speak but closed it instantly knowing that it was a bad time. Jack began pacing the room the look of carefree was now gone from his face and his manner. His brain was hard at work trying to come up with a plan, and quickly for with each passing second their lives were more in danger.
Governor Swann looked possitively terrified for his daughter and his own life, he was beginning to regret agreeing to Elizabeth's idea of having a small get together on the open sea and now his life depended on a pirate, Jack Sparrow none the less. He stood up quickly and made his way over to his daughter who's eyes were now trained on Jack watching his every move. She looked up acknowledging him quickly as he sat in the place of Sparrow on the wooden crate.
The girls were scared and frightened they didnt know what to do and worst of all they knew that no amount of money or the amount of power their husbands held come save them from this predicament and that thought alone was enough to send them in hysterics.
"Captain wat do ye propose we do?" Gibbs asked woried.
Jack's eyes shot open and he instantly stopped pacing a plan forming. "I don't know" he replied truthfully.
Elizabeth leap to her feet and marched towards Jack a look of determination clearly visible in her eyes and in her manner.
"You dont have a plan" she exclaimed starting to get irrated. He shook his head the beads hitting one another in a pattern.
"You Captain Jack Sparrow do not have a bloody half crazed god forsaken plan" she cried.
"Well..." he started it was difficult to think at the moment due to lack of rum which usually provided him with his crazy plans and the fact that he was risking alot of peoples lives.
"Spit it out" she demanded.
"Alright its crazy but it just might work" he said aloud resuming his captain rank. He walked to the door and opened it slightly. On deck a large fire could be seen brewing, the rail and alot of the ship seemed to be on fire, the flames rapidly approaching the room they all currently stood in.
"Liz get all those girls to stop crying and come over here" he instructed Elizabeth before turning to his first mate.
"Gibbs get the Governor and Marty stay with me were going to have to jump" he finished.
No one dared speak, seeing as they have no other choice they would have to accept Jack's plan which didnt ensure the safety of their lives. Everyone stood huddled together in the cabin, the girls taking extra precautions to avoid all contact with the pirate.
Jack reached into one of his oversided coat pockets frantically searching for two items his eyes on Elizabeth as she waited expectantly. Finding what he was looking for he pulled them out and handed one to Elizabeth.
Her eyes met with his once more before they darted to the object she now held in her right palm. A loaded pistol. She nodded knowing exactly what he wanted her to do just as they were about to leave Governor Swann spoke up.
"Mr. Sparrow you cant expect my daughter to know how to handle a pistol. I am well aware she carries one but still" he yelled to Jack.
"Guvener I taught 'lizabeth myself how to use one and now is not the time for this"
"Everyone follow me Gibbs you go last make sure no one falls behind savvy"
Governor Swann opened his mouth to protest but chose not to knowing full well that it was not the time for that.
Jack opened the door wide and stepped out his eyes scanned the deck looking for a clear path back to his ship, the fire had clearly spread since he last checked sealing off most exits. He walked a little forward the smoke filling his lungs and blurrying his vision. His throat felt like it was burning as he walked further and further towards the fire, he could only imagine what the others were going through considering they had most likely never faced this before.
He squinted his eyes shut for a moment try to clear his eyes and rid them of the stinging.
Turning around for a fleeting moment he realised their was no one behind him and that they had mostly like fallen behind. He groaned and withdrew his pistol. Closing one eye he aim at the only visible clear sky careful not to hit anything above knowing that if he did it would most likely fall crushing a few.
Smoke left his pistol as his own shot rang in the air all he could do now was try and find a way out of the fire and hope that Lizzie, Marty and Gibbs could find him and get everyone back to his ship.
