ONTO THE STORY LOL
It hadn't taken the other three long to realize that Jack was no longer lagging
along behind them. He had disapeared altogether! Inside, Alyssa was panicked, but
she managed to keep her composure. What if something terrible had happened to
him? She shuddered at the thought. Once they came to the realization that they no
longer had a pirate accompanying them, they headed back hurriedly towards the
ship.
Once inside, the trio started discussing Jack's possible whereabouts to get
off their minds that he could be lying dead somewhere. Will was the first to speak,
knowing Jack and his habits and ways. "He probably just stepped into a bar for a
tick. You know how he is. He'll show up here drunk in an hour or so, you'll see."
Alyssa nodded to convince herself that Will was right, "Y-yeah. That's it. Or,
maybe he stopped to chat with an old friend, if he has any of those. Uhm... c-could I
be alone for a few minutes?"
Elizabeth looked sympathetically at her worried cousin and put a reassuring
hand on her shoulder, "Of course, Alyssa. I'm sure he's fine." she said before she
and Will retreated to their room for a few minutes.
Once they had gone, Alyssa immediately sat down and broke into silent
tears. Why now? How could it be that she finds someone to love and he just
disappears from her? He was always so sweet to her. Always treating her like a
lady. A princess, even. Based solely on how he treated her, one would never know
him to be a pirate. He had freed her spirit from the entrapment of her parent's walls
and brought her to life on the ocean. How could she not love this man? She did.
With all her heart and being.
A noise in the shadows before her tore her from her thoughts. Thinking that it
was Will or Elizabeth come to check on her, she wiped her sparkling violet eyes dry
of tears. Who she saw, however, was neither Will nor Elizabeth, but a pirate. A
scraggly, old pirate with a grizzled gray beard and dark, dirty skin. Teeth missing
from his mouth, and clothes that would have been better suited for rags. He had
cruel cloud-colored eyes and thin lips which curled into a sickening, perverse,
scarey smile.
"Well, well, my pre'ey," he slurred as he dove for her, spinning her back to
him with one hand while covering her mouth with the other. She could hear him
harshly sniffing her hair and winced as he spoke again. "Alone 't last."
!@#$%^&*!@#$%^&*!@#$%^&*!@#$%^&*
Alyssa was dragged from the boat she had grown familiar with and onto
another not too far away. The smelly, filthy pirate shoved her roughly to the ground,
and to the feet of another old pirate. She guessed him to be the Captain, which he
confirmed as he spoke. He picked her up to her feet and roughly pushed herlong
red curls away from her face to look into her oddly colored eyes. "Ah, ye must be the
fair Alyssa. Capt'n Barbossa atcher service, me pre'ey."
Alyssa spat on his boots and looked at him coldly in the eyes. Her usually
carefree eyes now flashed an angry, violent violet at the old Captain. He laughed
momentarily at her rude gesture, but stopped abruptly, grabbing her angrily by the
hair and forcing her fair face so close to his rough one that the hair on her face
brushed with his. "Yer gonna be sorry fer that stunt, missy. That was a mistake." He
began literally dragging her down a flight of dank, dark stairs and into an even
darker, danker room which was better fitted as a prison cell. The sole source of light
came from a window which shone moonlight throughg the small opening. When that
light hit the arm of the Captain, she saw his hand turn to bone. She squeezed her
eyes tightly shut and convinced herself that it had been a trick of her imagination.
"Welcome ta yer new 'ome, lovely. Thar's some comp'ny 'angin' thar on the
wall should ye get lones'me." he spat, throwing her roughly into the room and to her
knees before he left, locking the door behind him.
She looked at the wall where he had motioned and there, to her horror, hung
her love. He was mounted there by chains which held him upright, in the very pose
which Christ had been hung on the cross in. His head hung to one side. He wasn't
conscious. Maybe not even alive. She stepped in closer to get a better look. His
chest moved, barely, every few seconds. He was breathing. But, oh, he had been
beaten. His shirt was so ripped that it hung off of him by threads. What was left of it
was stained by blood and sweat. His revealed chest was bloody and welted like he
had been whipped. The left side of his face was swollen and had been overtaken by
a bruise. She could see that his left eye was definitely swollen shut. His lower lip
was swelled and wore a cut, probably made by a ring on someones finger, and a
trail of almost dried blood had escaped from it, dripping down intil it disappeared
into his beard.
She ran the back of her hand down his sweaty right cheek. The only area of
his face which wasn't wearing a cut or a bruise. It was still so flawless. She
whispered his name. He slightly stirred, but not much. In his mind he had escaped
the physical pain by dreaming of the one thing that made him really happy. Alyssa.
She was such a lady. Not only that, but for some reason she was his lady. Such a
free spirit. Born for life on the sea. Life with him. She was so sweet. So chaste and
innocent, while still being so light and carefree. She completed him. Made him a
man and made him a man that loved her. He dreamt of her so vividly that he thought
he had heard her say his name.
"Jack," but there it was again. No. it couldn't be. Could it?
"Alyssa?" he said in a hoarse whisper. He tried to open his eyes, only to find
that only one would cooperate. "I'm imagining ye?" he half-asked, half- stated when
he saw her sweet face before him.
She shook her head, "No, I'm here, Jack," she began sobbing uncontrollably.
"I was so scared, Jack. When you weren't there... and then you were here... Oh,
God, Jack... I thought you were dead. I love you so much, Jack!" she kissed him
softly on the lips, not wanting to hurt his cut.
Jack loathed the moment when she broke the kiss. It made him forget about
the pain and where he was. When he saw the tears on her face, he wanted nothing
more than to take her in his arms. But, the mocking chains forbid him to. "I love ye
too, Alyssa, more than life. But-" he stopped.
"But what, Jack?" Alyssa encouraged.
A single tear escaped Jacks right eye and ran down his cheek. Alyssa wiped
it off with her index finger before it could drip to the floor. Jack then continued, "But,
I'm afraid that our forbidd'n love may've gotten us both killed."
A/N Like I said, I'm still in Ireland. Sorry for the quality of this chapter, I don't think it is what it could have been, but I plan to rewrite the very poor parts of the whole story when I get more time. Thanks again for the reviews, they keep me writing, I appreciate them a lot!!
