Still don't own anything – I wish I owned Jack Sparrow, but I don't. . .
Chapter Six
"Would you ladies care to help me again on the ship?"
That was the first thing Captain Jack Sparrow asked them after they had woken up that morning, his words slightly slurred as usual. None of them felt like anymore cleaning – they had spent all of the day before, and didn't feel up to doing it again. Even if it wasn't cleaning, they still didn't want to do anything – they just wanted to go back to sleep and wake up back home. They didn't enjoy being on this ship, even though Jack was there. He was the only reason they hadn't tried to escape. Otherwise, they would've found a way to be long gone by now.
"We're not really feeling up to doing much today," Ariana told him.
"Well. . ." He paused briefly, then continued, "You seemed to do just fine yestaday."
Ariana hesitated in answering, not sure how to reply.
"It's just that we're really tired today, from working all day yesterday," Kelsey told him.
"I see." He looked down at the floor for about two seconds, then brought his head back up and said, "Do you at least want ta come up for some fresh air?" His arms were stretched slightly outward, palms up.
"In a little bit, sure," Ariana responded.
"Well all right then." He turned and went back up on deck.
"So do you want to go up right now?" Ariana asked her friends.
"No," Julie answered. "I wanna go back to sleep."
"So do I, but I can't."
"I just want to go home. And I want to bring Johnny with me," Kelsey said. She grinned.
"He's not Johnny here, he's Jack," Ariana corrected her.
"No he's not!"
"Yes he is!"
"Look, Kelsey," Julie said, going over to her. "How else could we have gotten here? Just think about it. What other reason could there be?" She was trying to be gentle; NOBODY wanted to get Kelsey angry.
Julie now agreed with Ariana – at first she hadn't been so sure, but now she knew that there was no other explanation for what had happened; for where they were. She accepted it. Kelsey had to as well.
Her friend didn't say anything at first; she was too busy arguing with herself. Her adventurous, wild side knew that it was true, but her other, more rational side that didn't always come up as much knew that it just wasn't possible. But lately her wild side had been winning, and it was her friends against her. "I don't care."
Ariana sighed – Kelsey was the toughest person to convince. Once she had an opinion or was sure of something, she wasn't going to go back on her decision. Ariana and Julie both knew that from experience. "Let's just stop arguing," she said. "I'm sick and tired of arguing about the same damn thing."
"Hey, you're the one who brought it up," Kelsey told her, raising her eyebrows.
"No I didn't!"
"Yes you did."
"No I didn't!"
"Guys! Guys! Please!" Julie interjected loudly, putting her hands up.
The two girls both rolled their eyes, knowing that Julie could never stop an argument between them – no one could, or had ever been able to. They were both fighters, and when they disagreed with each other, they kept going until someone lost or admitted they were wrong, which almost never happened. The only people who could make them stop was themselves, and this time, they did decide to stop, to avoid it going any further and also because they didn't want to get angry at Julie, who had done nothing wrong.
"Ya know, if we go out there, we'll probably have to put up with the crew," Ariana said.
"Yeah, we will." Julie agreed. "But I don't think Jack will really let them DO anything."
"Hopefully not."
Kelsey nodded in agreement. "They do, and I'll kill 'em."
Ariana grinned. "We'll get to see Jack. So do you want to go and 'get some fresh air' or what?"
"Oh, why not," Kelsey replied.
"Yeah, sure," Julie said.
The three walked out of the cabin and up on deck, where some of the crew was. Most of the men were below deck, but some were outside, checking the sails and so on.
The harsh sunlight met their eyes and blinded them at first; it took a few moments before they adjusted and after rapid blinking and squinting, they walked over to the side of the ship.
They all kept glancing over at Jack, who was at the wheel, and whenever he would look back at them they would quickly shift their fix their eyes on something else.
Ariana thought that the ocean looked beautiful, the way the sun was hitting the water, making it sparkle. She gazed out over it, getting lost in her thoughts.
She didn't know how long she stood there, but soon enough she was pulled sharply back to reality by the sound of a cannon fire.
'Oh no,' she thought. 'Oh God, no.' She felt a knot form in her stomach and as she looked in front of her, the knot grew so painful that she winced and a cold wave of fear spread over her.
The Fearless (though she didn't know its name at the time) was about twenty feet away, maybe not even that, and getting closer. How had she not seen it? She had known that they would find out that the three of them were gone, and that they would come after them, but she had been so busy thinking about other matters that that had been pushed to the back of her mind, making her forget all about it. This now painfully reminded her.
"Oh shit," she said, too scared to move at first. "Guys. . ." She could hear Kelsey swearing.
They backed away from the side as crewmembers from the Fearless started swinging over to the Black Pearl, all eyes fixed on them.
"Guys, they want us, we have to get out of here!" Ariana told her two friends.
"Where do we go?" Julie asked, sounding frantic from her fear.
"I don't know. . .captain's quarters!" It was the first place that popped into her head.
"But they'll be able to get in there!" Kelsey told her.
"Maybe there's a lock or something, or we can push furniture against the door!"
"Then RUN!"
They finally began moving their legs, sprinting as fast as they could.
They weren't fast enough.
Kelsey felt someone grab her arm, and so did Julie. Both their reactions were to scream out Ariana's name.
She stopped running immediately and spun around.
Two pirates were picking up Kelsey and Julie and she knew that more would be coming for her. She had to save them.
Kelsey was kicking and elbowing the pirate holding her as forcefully as she could, trying to break free. Julie was attempting to squirm out of her captor's grasp – she wasn't nearly as violent as Kelsey.
"LET ME GO!!" Kelsey screamed dangerously.
The pirate just laughed and took hold of the rope that he had swung over with. The other did the same.
"No!" Ariana shouted, racing towards them. She was going so fast that she tripped and flew to the right, landing right next to the side. She quickly scrambled back up and saw the two pirates swinging across back to The Fearless, holding her friends.
She was about to grab another rope to swing over to them when she felt a sharp, sudden pain in her head. She felt herself falling, and then an ice-cold feeling penetrating every nerve of her body as everything went black.
A/N: Told you something would happen in this chapter. I bet I know what you're wondering-where was Jack when all this happened? You'll find that out next chapter. Please review!
