I followed the Captain outside and to a room that had one small hammock.
"Ye'll be in this room." With that he closed the door and left me inside. I took off my coat and knife and hid them in the corner of the room, lay in my hammock, and went to sleep. When I woke, I walked out onto the deck. I saw about five other pirates raising the sails, swabbing the deck, and keeping busy. A pirate slapped me on the back and said, "Ye must be Jonathan. Ye be helping us keep the ship in order. Every day ye'll report to that pirate over there in the crow's nest, his name be, Giles. He'll be telling you what to do." As I was walking over to Giles I overheard the captain talking to the first mate, Angus.
"That boy's dangerous. I saw him kill someone in town," Angus said casually as if bringing up something of no importance "It was Gibbs."
"We can use the boy, Angus." The captain said quietly.
"Ye think we can use him to get it from Jack?" Angus asked.
"Aye," said Pierce. "Gibbs was very close to Jack Sparrow. Jack will be looking for revenge. We will use the boy as a bargain, savvy?" He touched his patched eye as if there was something under it.
"Savvy." Angus replied. I was stunned for a second and forgot where I was supposed to be going. I climbed up the mast up to the crow's nest and came face to face with the pirate named Giles.
"They told me that I was to report to you." I said nervously.
"Aye. Ye'll be workin with me on trimming the sails and navigating once we start sailing away from Port Royal. We'll be staying in Port Royal for another day or so." Giles said.
Giles made me do everything that the crew didn't want to. He made me work the sails, which eventually gave my hands a lot of blisters, and I was barely able to hold anything. I also had to clean the boat, so it was spotless before bed or mealtime. By the end of the day I was exhausted and dropped into my hammock. I was too tired to even eat.
