Chapter 4: Now We Start
The evening drew closer and the sky started to turn a darker hue. Jack waited impatiently on the docks, looking out to the no longer busy streets of Port Royal. He tapped his foot irritably on the wooden planks.
"Where the bloody hell is that woman?!" he muttered to himself. Kit came up behind him.
"Now Jack, don't lose yer temper." She saw his angered face turn towards her and couldn't help but laugh. "You're forcin' us to sit at the edge o' the docks! Why don't ye just give it a rest?"
Jack frowned and was about to say something when he looked back to the streets and yelled out, "Finally! There ye bloody are!"
Faye and Will, who were sitting as far away from Jack as they possibly could, turned their heads to the source of the yell.
Elizabeth was running down the docks as fast as she could, holding a lumpy bag in each hand. She was no longer wearing her frilly dress from earlier, but a more simple, casual dress instead. She came to a stop near Kit and Jack, out of breath. Faye and Will got up and rushed over.
"I'm . . . Back!" Elizabeth managed to say between gasps.
"Took ye long enough!" Jack proclaimed as he threw his arms up in the air. She looked at him with a sour expression.
Kit interrupted. "So anyways, now that we got everyone here, we sail for Tortuga, right Jack?"
Jack nodded. "Aye, that we will. The Black Pearl awaits!"
He started up the docks, Kit promptly keeping up and matching his step. Elizabeth turned and walked after them, and then Will. Faye looked around a bit nervously before running to catch up to Will.
"So . . . You've been on the Black Pearl before, have ye?" she asked him conversationally. He nodded.
"Yes, and it's a wonderful ship. Well, once Jack straightened it up, that is. Barbossa and his crew had it in complete disorder."
Faye smiled. "You know, you shall have to tell me that story while we're sailin'. I'm rather keen to hear it."
Will looked down at her and grinned amusedly. "Alright, we'll tell you all about it once we're out on the sea."
Faye nodded and looked ahead, to where she could see Jack making a stop in front of a large, majestic ship. She licked her lips with anticipation.
"Behold! The Black Pearl stands before ye!" Jack stated as he spread his arms out in a wide gesture. Kit rolled her eyes as Elizabeth and Will smiled in remembrance. Faye's eye's widened.
"So this . . . This is the infamous Pearl?" she asked excitedly.
Jack nodded with pride. "Aye! 'Tis a beaut, ain't she?"
"Eh, quit yer blubberin'!" Kit said as she started forward to the gangplank.
Jack shook his head in mock hurt and followed her example. Will walked after them with no hesitation and Elizabeth right behind him, her dress blowing in the wind. Faye wondered how on earth she expected to get any work done on board a ship in a DRESS . . . 'But oh well.' She pushed the thought out of her mind. 'A new adventure is upon me! A new member for the Black Pearl . . . Now if I could have meself a lifetime supply of rum and a man, then my life would be complete!'
She jovially ran up the gangplank, as Jack cast it back in and they all assembled before him.
"So, now that we are about to set sail, let's get the rules down," he started formally. "First o' all, NO ONE is to touch me rum!!!" He eyed Elizabeth suspiciously before continuing. "Second, no one is to take control o' the wheel while I am absent from it 'cept for Kit here, as I have taken the liberty to show her how ta steer." She beamed proudly. "And thirdly and lastly, ALWAYS respect the Captain!" He pointed an unnecessary jeweled finger at himself.
"Alright, now that that's settled, let's inform our newest sailors where they shall be sleepin'. I have me captain's cabin, o' course, and Kit's cabin is the one next to mine, on account of she's second in command. Elizabeth, ye can have one that's on the other side o' the ship seein' as ye like yer privacy. Will, there's a vacant one down the hall from mine, and let's see . . . Faye can have the one 'cross from yours. There, all done! Now, we set sail!"
They all sighed from relief as Will, Elizabeth, and Faye went to find their cabins.
"So now it begins!" Faye said enthusiastically to Will as they made their way down the slightly shadowy stairs to their cabins.
Will smiled. "Yes, now we can finally have a new adventure. I've missed the sea. Guess I can't ignore the pirate blood in me."
Faye laughed at his comment as they were lost to view.
Kit strolled up to Jack who was now at the helm, staring at it lovingly. "So Captain, how long 'til we reach Tortuga?"
"Oh, 'bout two days tops." He looked up to the now present moon, and then to Kit. Something he had always noticed about her was that she would always seem to radiate in the moonlight. He thought it was just his eyes, but then again, maybe she just reflected the moon's rays somehow . . .
She raised an eyebrow when she saw that he was staring at her. "Yes?"
"Oh, nothing." He looked back to the waning moon and smiled. "Now we start!"
