Will walked up and stood by Salina; who was leaning against the mast. "Are you okay Salina?"
Salina turned and a couple of tears trickled down her cheeks. "Do I look okay to you!" She blurted at him. Salina took a breath and calmed down. She turned away from him and faced the sea once again. "I'm sorry Will. I don't mean to be a pest. That seems to be what I'm good at though. I mean I've managed to help kill my father, hurt my ex-fiancé, kill a woman, and get Jack to hate me. I get myself into too much trouble. I shouldn't of come!"
Will grasped both her shoulders firmly and peered down at her. "You're not a pest, not even to Jack. Despite what he says, you are probably the most important thing on this ship. Believe it or not ye hold us together. Ye really do." Salina continued to cry as she reached out and hugged William. Jack walked up the steps from the brig and to his surprise was not greeted by anyone. Out of the corner of his eye Jack caught Salina and Will holding each other. Engulfed with jealousy, Jack walked into his cabin.
"Thank ye Will. It seems ye are the one who is always here fer me when I get down like this." Salina let go of William and wiped her nose.
"Tis because I have a family of my own that I know how te help." William smiled and walked to the railing. Salina followed curiously asking about his family and why he became a pirate. "Well I have a son, he's nine years old now. His name is William, just as mine is. My wife's name is Carolyn; she stays at home with Little Will. I try to visit them as much as possible., but sometimes time becomes an eternity in it's own way." Will dropped his head in silence.
"What's wrong Will?" Salina placed her hand on his back.
"I once had a daughter, she would've been about yer age now." Salina's eyes grew sad as she recognized the tone of voice this man had. It was the same her father had just after her mother passed away. "She was 11 when she died. The ship had docked off a ways from port so that no one would notice us. She took a rowboat out te see me, but she never reached the ship. The tide was rough that day, but she was determined to see me on my ship." Salina noticed a tear slide down his face. "She lost control of the boat and ran straight into the rocks off shore. She died almost instantly, so many of her bones had broken, she just laid there peacefully. She looked asleep."
"Forgive me for asking Will. I know it's a sore subject, but what might her name be?"
"Her name was Jessie. Jessica Lin Turner." William turned to Salina; he raised his hand to her cheek. "You remind me so much of her. You have the same fire and passion in yer eyes as she did. Yer hair even looks like hers." William smiled as Salina held his hand.
"You must really miss her?" Will nodded and bowed his head again. "Will? I've herd men call ye Bootstrap Bill, why is that?" Will chuckled as he wiped his face off.
"They say that I am so fast at stealing things that I can undo your bootstrap's and steal yer boots without ye ever noticing. I'm very proud of the name I earned me self." Will spoke with higher spirits now.
It was close to the end of the day before the ship came near the island. There was something about the island that mystified Salina. She didn't know what it was, but it sent chills up and down her spine. Was this the adventure she was waiting for?
Jack walked out on deck. "Looks like we will arrive sooner than I expected, eh Gibbs?" Gibbs nodded and nudged Jack in his side.
"Jack don't ye think ye should apologize te her. Ye were rude te her earlier, and after all she is a lady, a very rough lady, but a lady all the same." Jack faced Gibbs and raised an eyebrow then spoke in a deep, rough voice as he squinted his eyes.
"I don't apologize te no one! Not even a lady, especially that one!" He yelled it loud and clear so that Salina would hear it. She swung around and looked at the man.
Salina cocked back her head slightly and raised her brow. "I suppose I won't be doin' ye any favors!" She paused in mid statement as she watched Jack turn around and walk over to her.
"Favors? What favors?" Salina pulled Jack by the collar. 'Well I came here to be a pirate; it's high time I start acting like one. I should start to play their game, the game that gets me what I want.' Salina thought to herself as she grasped Jacks shirt in her fist.
"Favors like this one." She pulled Jack in and kissed him. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the two of them. Salina kissed him with all the passion she could muster.
"Well that'll do the trick." Gibbs whispered to Will; Will nodded in agreement.
Salina let go of Jack and pulled slowly out of the kiss. She opened her eyes and noticed Jack starring at her in bewilderment. Salina became very uncomfortable as she looked around and saw every man aboard starring at her and Jack. "Favors like that and favors like playing a game of poker or two, to gain money for whatever we might need it for." She spoke suddenly as she tried to regain her strength.
Jack nodded and widened his eyes a few times to make sure he wasn't dreaming. "Well! Let's get ready to dock and go to the island!" Jack shouted to his men. As he walked away from Salina, in awe of what she had just done. The men scurried to work, preparing to dock.
'That went well! Now what do I do?' Salina turned back around and looked at the island. Salina stood thinking about what she had done and why she did it. Was it right of her to be so bold like that?
