The Struggle Between Two Pirates
Chapter 11: Open Your Eyes
Barbossa opens his eyes, but no tears are present. He notices that he's lying in his bed and in his cabin. He looks around above him and is confused so he turns his head to his left and there is Katrina lying next to him asleep on her side facing him with Jack, the monkey, sleeping between them. Barbossa is shocked, but mostly confused. He looks down at his right hand and sees that he is holding a bottle of Rum practically empty. He looks over at Katrina again who looks peaceful in her slumber.
Nothing confused Barbossa more than this before. He got up out of bed, looking over at Katrina, and he takes his hat that was placed next to her. He puts on his hat and walks to the door slowly, opens it hesitantly, and walks out. There they were, both crews up early doing their duties, every single man, even Koehler and Gibbs talking as if they were best mates. Barbossa walks a little further, stops, and looks behind him up at the quarter deck. At the wheel was Jack Sparrow unharmed. Jack notices Barbossa looking up at him.
"Mornin' Captain Barbossa."
Barbossa doesn't reply, only nods his head.
"There's land not too far, Captain. With your command we wish to pillage off that land, what say you?"
Barbossa looks around and spots the land Jack speaks of. He turns back to Jack and nods to go ahead. Jack has someone else take over the wheel. Barbossa watches Jack as he walks down to the main deck. The cabin door opens and Katrina walks out. Barbossa looks back to see as Jack and Katrina walk towards Barbossa from different directions.
"You know I had a strange dream about apples." She says as she approaches. "Delicious ones too.according to my dream. Barbossa would have loved them, they were so good."
Barbossa's confusion would not leave him, but he was glad to see Katrina and felt better after she spoke. Jack laughs about her dream. She looks at him funny and straightens herself out.
"What? You would have loved them too Jack."
"Did you give her too much Rum again Barbossa?" Jack continues to laugh.
Barbossa just looks at the two and stays quiet.
"Dear Barbossa, what is the matter? Did you lose your tongue?" Katrina asks with concern.
"No." Barbossa replies.
Katrina just stares at him feeling that something was terribly wrong with Barbossa. She hopes it's nothing. Jack looks at the two wondering if they were even there in their minds.
"Well, I'm goin' to help out over at the Pearl." Jack walks away still looking at Katrina and Barbossa.
"You want to.talk about it Barbossa?"
Barbossa shakes his head in saying that he would rather not talk about it. He walks over to the side of the ship and looks out to the ocean's horizon. Katrina follows him and stands by him. She doesn't take her eyes off of him.
"I know just the thing to cheer you up."
Barbossa looks at Katrina with a questionable look.
"You'll see." Katrina continues. "And I hope you can tell me what's troublin' you later on."
Katrina smiles at Barbossa and she walks away. Barbossa continues to stare out at the sea. Jack approaches Katrina before she enters the cabin.
"Is Barbossa alright?" Jack asks.
"I don't know. I'm very concerned about him.
Jack and Katrina look in Barbossa's direction. They've never seen Barbossa so confused, down, and especially so quiet. Some of the other crew members also take notice of Barbossa's oddity, but they continue doing their jobs as they are nearer to the land.
