CHAPTER 3
"Pirates. There are pirates outside."
"Well of course there are pirates outside... Come on, bring me my rum." Jack said, still swaying.
"Oh you idiot! He means invaders!" Delora said. Jack smiled and went out the chamber.
"Stay inside, luv. Don't come out." Jack said. "Lock the door." Delora did as she was told.
Delora anxiously watched the battle outside. Eliabeth knocked on the door and Delora unlocked it for her. Elizabeth went in and lokced the door back. Both of them were silent. Delora wasn't sure why she was anxious about the battle, but just knew she was.
She wasn't conscious that she kept watching only Jack, for no reason at all. She saw him fighting a huge pirate, and there was one more behind him... She surveyed his surroundings and saw no other pirates close by. She couldn't help herself. She unlocked the door and ran out.
"Delora!" Elizabeth shouted. She wanted to run out but Will saw it and pushed Elizabeth back into the room, signalling for her to lock the door.
Delora pushed Jack down and watched as the two enemy pirates slid their two swords into each other's heart. Their blod splurted onto Delora and Jack.
Delora was embarrassed, and avoided looking into Jack's eyes. "Whoa, be careful, luv." Jack said, rolling over to avoid her being stabbed by another pirate. He got up and fought. Within minutes the fight was over. The Black Pearl had won over the enemy ship.
Delora got up and leaned against the ship's barriers. There was blood on her dress and face. And later she discovered that her arm was covered in blood. She groaned and walked towards the brig.
Jack grabbed her wrist and led her to the Captain Chambers. Elizabeth was still inside, binding Will's wounds.
"Didn't I tell you to stay in the chamber?" Jack asked.
"I'm sorry, I just..." Delora couldn't find the right thing to say. "Forget it. I'm sorry Captain."
"Well now, look at the wound." Jack said, pushing Delora's sleeves up. Delora hissed. It was painful. "Luv, does it hurt?" Delora unwillingly nodded. "Come on." Jack pulled her into the showering room and pulled her arm to the sink.
"No, Captain, don't. It hurts." Delora pleaded.
"Call me Jack." Jack said. "And it won't hurt. Don't worry. If you don't wash the wound it'll get worse. I mean, for ladies like you..."
"I am not a lady! I mean, I'm just an ordinary girl...whose parents are killed by pirates..." her voice trailed off.
Jack looked at Delora. "This might hurt a little. Bear with it." Jack turned the tap on, and the water flowed down Delora's arm. Delora wanted to scream. She was already screaming inside. She panted, unable to catch her breath. Jack's rough hands ran down her wound, washing away the blood. Since when were pirates so caring? After Jack turned off the tap, he took a towel and wiped away the water. Delora went numb and fainted. Though she had gotten into trouble before, she had never really been one who could stand pain.
When Delora awoke, she could feel a soft bed. It was already morning. She looked at her arm. It was already bandaged. Her face was clean, and her robes were changed.
Elizabeth came in and said, "Don't worry. I was the one who cleaned, bandaged and dressed you."
Delora breathed a sigh of relief. Last night's events spun in her head, making her blush. Elizabeth put breakfast on the bed, smiled and went out. Where was she? It didn't look like the brig.
Delora stared at her breakfast. She had no appetite. To think she saved the man she had been bickering with just moments ago. She played with the food, until the door opened again. She expected it to be Elizabeth but she was wrong.
