Chapter 5
The streets of Port Royal were crowded as they always have been. Most of the people were trying to get somewhere in a hurry, which caused a problem for me.
Every time I tried to stop someone to ask them where I could find my cousin, they pushed me away and told me they were busy. After an hour of searching everywhere, I put my hand on my forehead and sighed heavily.
'What a snooty, stuck up town!' With my hands on my hips and my foot tapping the cobblestone ground, I caught some people's stare but, after a second, they looked away.
I turned around and found a nice looking tavern sitting behind me. "Well, it's worth a try." I picked up the skirt of my dress and walked in the dimly lit tavern.
A few men were sitting in at random tables, sipping a mug of ale and laughing amongst themselves. But, as soon as they spotted me, silence filled the air. I was assuming it was odd to see a woman like myself in a tavern.
The bartender wiped the wooden bar off as I walked up to it, putting my hands down flat. "Please tell me you know where I can find a Johnathon Scott." He smiled proudly and nodded.
I noticed in his smile that he was missing the first two teeth and he had more hair on his face than his head. "Aye, Johnny Scott as we call him. He's down by the docks today I'm assumin'.." I nodded and turned to leave.
Just before I touched the door handle, I turned back to face the man again. "Which way are the docks?" He pointed to the west and I nodded once again.
Back outside, the streets seemed more crowded, if that was possible. Just as my feet reached the cobblestone, a young man ran right into me, spinning me around. "OH! Pardon me!" He said in an all too familiar voice. I rose my head and grinned.
"Hello Johnathon!" His mouth dropped open and he picked me up, spinning me around. "Miss Madison! Where is Uncle Charlie? Why are you here?" His questions stopped me right in my tracks. I had never really thought of what I was going to tell him.
Quickly, I smiled innocently and replied, "Johnathon, I'm 17 years old. I don't need a chauffer every where I go. I just arrived this morning." It was his turn to stop.
I looked up at him and tilted my head to the side, confused a bit by why he stopped. "But, there was no ship to dock this morning."
"OH! It was a private ship. A family friend let me off here and he's actually waiting for me still..." I mentally kicked myself for mentioning 'the family friend', but Johnathon didn't seem to care enough to ask anymore questions.
"Well, Come along, I want to show you my new office! I got promoted!" I grinned and we took each others hand before walking off down the road.
~!~!
I took the cigar between my first two fingers and narrowed my eyes to shade them from the sun. The evening sky had turned a pink shade and I smiled.
'Red sky at night...Pirates delight.' I smiled with a sigh and set back against the railing of the starboard side of the ship.
My legs, sprawled out on the floor, were crossed at the ankles and the bells on my boot strings jingled lightly in the wind. It was a surprise that I hadn't left the girl. She wasn't too bright and she was too trusting.
I had walked around her room gathering up the bandages and needle, when I came across the map laying on her bed. I won't deny that I thought of turning around and heading away toward the Galapogos without her, but, each time I went to the deck to leave, her crying face flooded through my mind.
No matter how much I tried to deny that I was startin' to care for the girl, I knew I could never leave her like that. But, while I was searching, I did find a box of cigars that Barbosa must have left, because I couldn't remembering buying any.
I had already smoked two, and was on my third when I saw a few tiny lights bobbing on the bay. I quickly grabbed the scope and saw Madison on the shore with six men. She was waving to me and I sighed. 'I should have left.'
A few minutes later, I was rowing to the shore, mumbling the words to an old pirate song. "Dear God Madison!!" The gent standing beside her said, pulling her arm so she stumbled away from me.
"Johnathon!" She scolded, as I stood up straight, looking at each of them. "You failed to tell me he was a Pirate." I laughed when Madison rolled her eyes and came to stand by my side.
"Oh, shut up. He's a friend. And...you promised you would join us." I nodded, following her eyes to look at him. His mates, who were behind him, held their heads high, pointing their nose slightly to the sky.
Johnathon smiled and I grinned, knowing he couldn't say no to Madison. Just like I couldn't. "Johnathon, I would like you to meet, Jack Sparrow. Our captain." I put my hand forward and smiled, leaning my head to the side.
"How do you do?" The man walked passed me, not even noticing my act of kindness. "Very well thank you." Even when he was trying to be nice he sounded like an ass.
"I'm sorry Jack.." Madison whispered, lowering her head as she walked by me. Just as she started to step in the boat, I took her hand and helped her in the boat, gaining a smile from her. I turned around and spotted the other men waiting to get in the boat.
They didn't move so I took their hand and expected to guide them into it also, but instead they shoved me back. "Sorry, mate.." I sighed after everyone was in the boat and started rowing, still humming the song.
~!~!
"I will be hanged for this.." Johnathon whispered into my ear. I unwrapped the dirty cloth from my hand and sighed at the cuts on my hands. I touched my palms gently and listened to Jack hum.
"You told them you had to assist your family. That doesn't mean you're going on a ship with pirates..." I snapped back, whispering still.
"Ah, now, no secrets!" Jack winked at me as I caught his stare. We kept our eyes glued to each others until the ship was looming right infront of us. I looked up at it and almost fell back. Each time I looked at it, it seemed to get bigger and bigger.
I waited behind as the my cousin and his friends climbed up the ladder on the side of the ship. Jack took a hold of my waist and helped me up. Before I could start climbing, he stopped me. "I 'ope we can trust 'em."
His usually hoarse and raspy voice, had gone soft all of a sudden. I looked into his eyes and nodded, touching my hand to his cheek. "So do I.."
I had no doubt in my mind that as I was climbing up the ladder, Jack looked up my skirt. The thought alone made me blush and I found myself smiling as I reached the top.
A not so happy Johnathon was standing with his arms crossed on his chest and his usually kind face had turned into a scowl. I looked away and threw down the ropes so Jack could tie off the row boat.
When everything was secured and Jack had gave the 'crew' a lesson in what to do, we rose the sails and were off. The sun had set and we sailed on the dark open sea. The Carribean island only a black dot behind us.
An hour or two later, I yawned and rest my head against the rail as Jack continued to hum and sing the pirates songs which I knew were pissing Johnathon off very much.
I noticed Bryan, his best friend, and he were conversing secretly by the quarters door was on the opposite side of us. Jack noticed too and he turned to give me a look with a raised eyebrow. "They won't betray us.." I said sternly.
"If you say so..." I nodded and layed my chin on my arms as I propped up on the railing. The dark ocean was so calm and we were rocking so gently. It was amazing that all of us had not fallen asleep....
A/N review please!! I need more...*coughs* Ill die...*cough cough* and then...the story wont be updated...anymore!! so review!!
