Hope woke up on hard wood.She too has been knocked out. The last thing she remembered was biting a strange pirate's hand who was trying to shut her up,while carrying her away.
She felt the floor move, and knew she was on a ship, even if she had never been on one before. What was going on? She looked around, and found herself in an empty cabin.She stood up, her head hurting a little, and tried the door. It was unlocked.
As she went outside, she was blinded by the blazing sun.She was in the middle of the ocean, and could see no land, especially no Port Royale, anywhere.
She was scared, well, as scared as you can be in such cheery sunlight and great weather, but reminded herself that so far nothing happened that would be too much trouble to her. She has been kidnapped, but noone died.She didn't know why she has been taken, but she was still alive and that's what mattered. She calmed herself down effectively.They didn't lock her in or anything, but then again, where could she run off to?
All this went through her head in a second.After that, she noticed that there were people on deck with her.She could see three people, all just sitting around on crates and barrels, talking to one an other. She wondered why they weren't working, but the water was smooth, the wind was steady, and there didn't seem like there was much to do, except steering.
She looked to the helm, and saw an old man wearing a dark coat steering the ship.He noticed her after a while, and indicated that she go nearer with a smug smile.
Hope hesitated, but edged toward the helm anyway.The old pirate didn't look dangerous at all, but he was a stranger, so she was careful anyway.
"Miss Turner, you're awake." greeted the man.
"I'm not a Turner, I'm Jack Sparrow's daughter.Who are you?"said Hope steadily, what fear she felt, hidden well.
"So, you know about that already.Well, that should make things easier." said the man."I am Captain Barbossa."he introduced himself.
"Youre a friend of my fathers?" asked the girl quickly and hopefully.In school, she heard that Jack and Barbossa were allies.Of course, she still hasn't heard the real story of the curse of the aztec gold, Elizabeth refused to talk about it.
"You could say that, young miss, though truth be told, he would more likely call me a bloody betrayer."Barbossa said.
"Why am I here?"asked Hope, getting right to the point.She'd ask for details on the mutiny later she decided.
"You are here, Miss Sparrow, so I can trade your life for those two rings and a compass your wreched parents have."said the captain plainly.
"Two rings and a compass?That's the reason you kidnapped me?"the girl knew their story, and knew how valuble they were, and the compass that led to the isle that the rest of the treasure was. But did Barbossa know?
"Those rings are the key to great treasure, lass." said Barbossa looking down on her as if he thought she just wouldn't understand.Though she understood only too well."and if I know Jack right, he will have taken half of it to Isle de Muerta.I had a compass, but I lost it when I woke from death.So I need his to get to it.That island can't just be found.Strange place that is.Moves around I think.Can only be found with the compass."
"Really?Why do you think that the treasure is real?"Hope would try to unsure him that what he knew was true.
"Your father himself told me, not to mention the legend of the cave of Hope and Despair is already great.Many men are searching for it.It's just like Jack's luck to find such a thing."he looked rather bitter.
"It's still just a legend.Why would you take my dad's word for it?He doesn't seem too honest" Still she was persistent to break his certainty.She really wanted to know why Jack would have told him about the treasure.She knew that he could be crazy, but not stupid.
Barbossa laughed,"Jack!" he called, then turned back to the girl."There be no sense in trying to deny, lass, I know what I know for sure."At that, a monkey dropped onto his shoulder from the mast.Hope thought it was cute, but knew better than to try to pet it.It carried two pieces of gold, and laid them obediently in Barbossa's hands.
Hope could see them clearly.One of them was detailed and had a skull carved in it.The other was quite plain and smooth, glittering beautifully, as she leaned in closer, she could see that running around the edge were two small, thin snakes carved in, devouring eachother's tail. He held up that coin.
"This, I got in Tortuga.One woman told me that Jack and Sword were in her shop, and payed her with it."Said Barbossa."Confirmation that they have found the cave, and the keys to it."
"What's the other one?"asked Hope, very disappointed that she could not deny it any longer.
Barbossa told her the entire story impatiently, up to the point where Jack shot him.
"So, you're dead?"asked the girl with doubt.
"Nay, I woke up, somehow.Alive and well, without the curse."said the captain.
"How?"
"That's something I have no knowledge of."He said, seeming just as disbelieving as the girl as he thought of it.
"So why did you steal the coin again?"
"After a while, when the curse was still on me, I forgot what troubles came with mortality, lass.When the curse lifted, I felt no better, just older, and dying was no great pleasure either.So, I decided to take this coin, and half live forever...or at least I get bored of it."
"But you have no blood now, do you?How can you ever lift the curse?"
"I stored some of my blood away in a flask before I took the coin."
"That's very foreseeing of you."said Hope, and wondered how she'd get out of this situation.Apparently she had no way out, unless her parents came and got her.She sighed.
We will be arriving in Tortuga shortly, and send a note to your parents, Miss Sparrow. I won't tie you, but beware, there be no gentleman in that place. You are best off staying where you are, if you be wanting to get out of this alive."said Barbossa ominously.Hope just knew the urge will come for her to run away, and she knew that she won't hesitate to try.
