"On Freedom's Wings"
"Jack, come back here! Jack!" Gillian shouted after her brother. But Jack, being as stubborn as usual, continued to run, leaving Gillian and James standing in the middle of Tortuga with no money, as Jack was carrying the purse.
It was two years since James family had died on the Crow's Flight. The Sparrow family ha taken him in, and he thought of himself as a pirate. He sometimes laughed when he thought about what his father, a British Commodore, would think of that. But then again, James was only twelve and, if his father had been alive, James could have bested him with the sword.
"Let's go." Gillian said bitterly, grabbing James' arm and pulling him back towards the Freedom.
"No. If we go back, Jack will get into trouble!" James pulled his arm away.
"So what? He deserves it!" Gillian argued.
"Have you seen Dad lately? Ever since we lost that treasure to the Brits he's been drinking more and more!" James wouldn't mention the bruises that Thomas Sparrow had given to both him and Jack when they had been playing with the scrub-water on deck the week before. Gillian had been in the town buying supplies, and Thomas had been drinking, as usual.
"Alright! We'll go to the Borrowed Heart, Gus'll let us stay there until it's time to get back." The two started off towards the tavern, but they had barely gotten a couple of yards when a sleazy-looking pirate grabbed Gillian from behind.
"Get off of her, you-!" however, James didn't have the time to recite the pirates lineage as another pirate took him from behind and knocked him out.
"James!" Gillian struggled harder than ever, but it was no use. The pirates dragged them towards the grungiest looking ship in the port and stuck them in the brig. The bars clanked as one of the pirates locked them in.
"James! James, wake up!" Gillian took some seawater off of the bottom of the cell and splashed it on James. James sat up with a start and something that sounded like "Let me at 'em!" He looked around and saw where they were.
"Damn!" He grabbed the bars and started shaking them with all his might, but it was to no avail. He collapsed on the damp floor and drew his knees to his chest.
~*~One Deck~*~
"We got 'em! We got both the Sparrow kids in one grab! That Thomas Sparrow will pay through the nose for this!" Both sleazy-pirates were so busy drinking rum that they didn't notice the young dark-haired boy sneaking onto the ship.
