ON WITH THE STORY!!!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Chapter 2: Rude Awakening

Several days later, Charlotte awoke in a soft featherbed. For a moment she thought she was at home, until she felt the strange rocking sensation beneath her. It made her slightly queasy. Her face felt like it had been stomped on. She opened her swollen eyes, expecting to see a ceiling of some sort.

Instead, she found herself staring into the most entrancing, liquid brown eyes she had ever seen. She sat up with a start, almost smacking the forehead of the face the eyes were in.

"Where am I?! Who are you?! What am I doing here?! And why does my face hurt?!?!" she croaked vehemently.

"Woah, slow down, love! In response ta yer first question, yer aboard the Black Pearl. Me name's Captain Jack Sparrow."

Charlotte's eyes widened in terror at the mention of his name. She had been so frightened by her father's stories of him that she had had nightmares for weeks. Now it seemed that she was living them.

"Why're ye lookin' all scared now, love? I didn't think I smelled THAT bad!"

"Y-y-yo-you're J-jack Sparrow?" She had thought he would be much older, and uglier. Perhaps her father's information on his appearance was slightly off..but she was certain that this "good pirate" act was just that.an act! Charlotte had no doubt that he wouldn't hesitate to kill her right there and to laugh about it afterwards. She felt a nagging sensation in the back of her brain - something about this man was familiar! A little bewildered, she pondered it for a moment.

Seeing her confused look, Jack asked, "Somethin wrong?"

The voice! "Your voice! Was it you who saved me last night?"

Jack's mouth turned up into a small grin, revealing several gold teeth.

"Yes, love, the one and only! And yes, though it was more four nights ago." He trailed off, seemingly lost in thought. Then he snapped back to reality. "Well, I'll be leavin' ye ta git some rest now, savvy?"

Charlotte nodded.

"Good. Sleep good, love!" And with that, Captain Jack Sparrow swaggered out of the room. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
