Chapter 21
That night before Will and Nicole went to sleep, the Black Pearl soon came to a sudden halt, and no one knew why.
"Will, why is this happening?"asked Nicole as they all run upstairs to the deck.
"I don't know."
"It isn't the Kraken is it?"
He shook his head. "No. That thing has been dead for quite sometime now love."
"Then what is it?"
"I'm not sure Nicole. Go downstairs. I need you to be safe."
"What if it's Jack?"
It couldn't be,he thought. Could it? "Just go downstairs all right? I'll come back downstairs when the coast is clear, all right?"
She sighed and went downstairs. I have to get off this ship,she thought. Something isn't right, and I need to find out what it is. This was my father ship, and now it's mine since he's dead. I can't believe I'm thinking about this, but I don't want anything to happen to this ship. I know how much he loved it, and I know how much he would hate me if something happened to it.
"Nicole,"said Will as he rushed downstairs.
"What is it?"
"I don't know,but I think we had better get off the ship."
"Are you sure? Do you even know where we are?"
He shook his head. "No. But we're really close to land, so we might as well make port for the night. Just in case something does happen."
"That sounds good. Where is our son?"
"I guess he's still sleep--."
"I'm right behind you,"said Little Will.
"Good. You two get off the ship and head for land,"he said as he took the two and lead them into the long boat."
"But what about you?"asked Nicole.
"I'll be all right. This shouldn't take too long. I think we just hit a reef."
"Ok."
He leaned over and kissed her. "You don't need to worry about me Nicole. Everything is going to be fine."
Will then dashed off into another direction as Nicole and Little Will got into the long boat and headed for land.
