Chapter 3
Uncle Charlie came home to find everything destroyed. I didn't mention Jack and our plan to leave. I was sure he got the idea when I gave him a warm hug and thanked him for keeping up with me all these 17 years.
"I'll never forget you Uncle Charlie!" I yelled, waving to him as I stepped out the door. "An' where do you suppose we'll get a boat?"
"Jack...Do you honestly think that I haven't thought of that yet?" He shrugged and we walked to the harbor. Everyone in town was weeping over the losses the night before. "All we have to do is say we saw some pirates on the east bay, the soldiers will run in that direction and YOU captain will steal that ship right there."
I pointed to a large boat that was floating lazily in the dock. With a nod, I stood up from behind the bushes and started to walk.
"Uh, love? How bout we take me own.." I tilted my head to the side in confusion and followed him to the east bay. After climbing up quite a few steep hills and over the rocks, Jack stood up proud and held his hand out, toward a black ship that was floating in the bay.
"You have a ship...Thank you for telling me this." I winked at him and we took off toward the ship, running through the sand toward the row boat he had cleverly hidden under a few bushes. "Jack." I took his hand before he pushed the small boat out to the water.
"Thank you..For going with me...This means alot."
"Ah, well..." He bit his bottom lip and scratched the back of his neck with his hand. We waited, staring at each other for a few moments before Jack looked out at the ship.
The wind, blowing from the East, was making my hair away wave away from my face. Jack noticed it and sighed.
"The wind is in the wrong direction love...Would ya mind waitin' on the ship until it gets the right way?" I shook my head and we were off.
The water glistened under the moonlight and it looked like a black blanket with thousands of diamonds thrown onto it. A thought occured to me as Jack continued to row with a smile on his handsome face.
"Can you handle that ship by yourself?" I pointed to the giant boat behind him and he blinked as if the question hurt him.
"I'm Captain Jack Sparrow...I can do anythin'. But, I will need your help. Since you are...a....female, I will lower and raise and turn the sails when needed and you can steer. Of course, with a proper teachin' of it first." I nodded, satisfied with that answer.
We finally reached the side of the ship and Jack climbed ahead of me to throw down the ropes so we could bring the small row boat to the ship. I hooked the roped in their places and to my amazement, felt myself being pulled out of the water.
"You're strong.." I said, blinking as I stepped onto the deck.
"Good way of statin' the obvious." He winked and together, we set the little boat on the side of the ship and secured it tightly.
"Now! For yer lesson. When I'll be down there," He pointed to the lower deck as he put his hand on mine, bringing it to the peg ontop of the wheel.
"I'll say either east or west or right or left. Still with me?" I glared and with a laugh, he continued.
"Whatever I say, you will have to steer in the direction. Mostly because when I'm pulling the sails to either side, it's goin' to face the direction of the wind and yer're gonna have to turn it the that way..Still with me?" Once again I glared at him for thinking of me to be stupid.
I raised my eyebrow and looked at him putting my hands on my hips. Right when I opened my mouth to speak, Jack grinned, bearing his gold teeth. He laughed and threw an arm around me. "Now, there are two quarters! One is mine, and the other'n is yers."
"Obviously." I said, jumping down on the wooden floor. Jack, turned slightly to look at me over his shoulder. He grinned and I sighed knowing I shouldn't think of him in the way I was.
A few hours later, the wind had shifted and we were off. I listened to Jack tell his story of Captain Barbosa. Every time he paused to look at me, I was staring at him intensely, waiting for the rest.
I loved every detail. From the lady Elizabeth and Jack being stuck on that island, to the young Will and Jack sword fighting in the blacksmith shop. "It's all fascinating!! How did you survive?" I sat down on the floor next to the wheel and stared up at him with wide eyes.
"How many times do I have to tell you, love? I'm Cap-" "Captain Jack Sparrow! Yes, I know.." We sat in silence for the next half hour until Jack got a bit nervous.
"Say, Madison." I looked up at him and tucked a strand of long brown hair behind my ear. "Where did you say the treasure was?"
"The Galapogos Islands.." I studied my short fingernails, contemplating on which one to bite. With a sigh, I stuck my thumbnail in my teeth and chewed until the long part had completely come off, leaving a short fingernail.
"The....Galapogos Islands? THEY ARE ON OTHER SIDE OF SOUTH AMERICA!!" Jack shouted, hitting the wheel with his foot, causing it to spin and make the boat turn a little. "Yes it is..Why did you shout it?"
"Because! If we even make it around the bloody continent those pirates will ALREADY HAVE THE TREASURE!!" His face had turned a red color instead of it's usual tan. I widened my eyes and for a second I was afraid.
But, I pressed my lips together and stood up, placing my hands on my hips. "Those bloody pirates forgot the map that was in the bind of the book! I got it! And I also know of a secret channel that passes through Mexico. It will take them over four months to even get AROUND the 'bloody' continent and by that time, we will be waiting at the Islands READY TO STEAL THE RING BACK SO I CAN GET MY..I mean WE can get my fathers treasures!" By the time I was finished shouting at him, Jack plopped down on a barrel and looked up at me making an 'o' shape with his mouth.
"Ah, well, now that we have that cleared up..." I nodded, smoothing down my vest and looked around the ship. My mind turned to think about my cousin in Port Royal and how he works on ships much like this one.
'Johnathon (A/n her cousin is Johnathon...hehe)....works on ships...' I tapped my chin and crossed my arms across my chest. "Say, Jack..Since it will take so long....We might have enough time to gather up a crew..."
"A crew would just want to steal our treasure and declare mutany on the Captain..Which is me!" He stood back up, taking his place back at the wheel. I sighed and studied his face. I never really enjoyed looking at a man like him.
But, the more I saw of this Jack Sparrow, the more I was beginning to see the well dressed gentlemen to be more like pussy cats.
I stared at him for so long, I forgot what I was even thinking about until he snapped his fingers in my face. "OH! What?" I turned to look away from him, fixing my eyes on the floor.
"I said, what are you starin' at?" Without thinking, I looked up and smiled. "I was just thinking about you." I immediately felt my face flush and my cheeks began to burn a bright pink I was sure. Jack simply tilted the corner of his lips up into a smirk.
"I mean...I was wondering if...uhm..you would mind the help of my cousin and his mates as our crew. They are loyal and I could persuade them with only 5 percent of our treasure...It will come out of my side...I swear." Jack grinned and looked away from me, but grabbed my hand and pulled me close to him.
My heart beat was racing, pounding on my chest and I was afraid he would hear it. His arm was placed around my shoulders and I realized he was hugging me. And I had no clue why.
~!~!
I laughed at myself. I had no idea of why I was hugging her like I was, but it just felt like the right thing to do. She was so trusting and innocent, I was surprised she hasn't been cheated a thousand times in her life.
"Madison, money corrupts even your family. If they see us getting a larger portion..They are goin' to wish it for them as well. And, if they don' get it...They would declare mutany. I'm almost positive." I looked down at her as she narrowed her blue eyes.
They suddenly turned into ice as she pushed me back. "You do not know my family." "Love, I was just sayin'.."
"Well don't just say anything! I assure you, they are wealthy and have no need for anymore money. Just...trust me..." Those two words were all it took. Suddenly, our plans were changed and we were heading around the island to Port Royal...
~~~~~~ A/N- She just up and leaves like it's nothing! *shrugs* I probably would too if I had that kind of chance. And, to explain somethings...The necklace is a key. It unlocks a place in the Galapogos (if I spelled that right) Islands and that's where her father hid his treasures....^_^ hope you got that...I've confused myself!!!
To all of my reviewers!!! Thank you so much!!
Dazzle- She just never had anyone to...help her find the treasure...Glad you like it ^.^
