Chapter 5: More Pirates?
Explosions rocked the ship and sounds of fighting filled the
air. All of them turned their attention to the stairs as someone
came racing down them.
"Will!", Elizabeth cried, looking very relieved.
"Elizabeth!", Will said, sounding equally relieved. He looked at
the others confused. "And who are you?"
"Why don't we save the introductions until after we get
out of here.", Cassandra recommended.
Will quickly released them from the cell and lead them
through the mêlée to the other ship. Cassandra was relieved to
see that it was flying a British flag. Her relief was short lived
however when she saw the crew. Out loud she commented,
"More pirates?"
"It's alright miss, no one will hurt you.", Will said, misreading her
annoyance for fear. He lead them aboard the Interceptor and
then went to find the captain. Cassandra, Chris, and the other
Will all exchanged wary glances. "Now what do we do?" "We
sit tight. So far these guys haven't threatened us so let's not provoke them." "Hey Chris did you notice that that Will Turner
guy looks a lot like you?", Will asked. "Yeah, there's a really
good reason for that, but let's not go into it now." "Oh come
one, why not?", Will demanded. "Because the captain wants
to speak to us now.", Cassandra replied.
They followed the pirate Cassandra had been speaking
with to the helm where Will Turner and the captain stood
waiting.
"Will and Elizabeth have been telling me a very strange
story. I was wondering if ye could clear some things up for me?
I'm Captain Jack Sparrow.", he added.
"Dr. Cassandra Martin, these are my associates Will
Hacker and Chris Turner. As for how strange our story is, I admit
that it must sound crazy, but it is in fact the truth. The amulet
brought us back to this time, but for what purpose we do not
know."
Jack apparently had his doubts but he wasn't going to
start demanding answers just yet. "Alright, you lot look like
ye've been through hell. Get some food and some sleep an' we'll talk in the morning."
Cassandra nodded. "Goodnight Captain Sparrow.", she
said formally.
"Good night, Dr. Martin.", he said, winking at her before
walking away.
A/N: Sorry this chapter is so short. I promise lots of secrets will be revealed in the next chapter which will be up really soon.
