Chapter 9: A Sudden Storm
Kaitlin ran to the front of the ship and leaned against the rail. She looked up at the sky with a dazed look on her face. It was clear to her that the life of a pirate was actually not that bad. With no one close to where she was standing, she quietly sang a familiar song:
"Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We pillage and plunder, we rifle our loot.
Drink up me hearties, yo ho.
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot.
Drink up me hearties, yo ho.
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We extort and pilfer and filch and sack.
Drink up me hearties, yo ho.
Maraud and embezzle, and even highjack.
Drink up me hearties, yo ho.
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me."
She glanced around and noticed that every pirate on the ship was working. No one heard her voice, so she continued singing the song.
"We kindle and char and inflame and ignite.
Drink up me hearties, yo ho.
We burn up the city we're really a fright.
Drink up me hearties, yo ho."
Captain Jack Sparrow had followed Kate up to the front of the ship, but she hadn't noticed that he was standing about five feet behind her.listening to the song with a puzzled look on his face.
"We're rascals and scoundrels,
We're villains and knaves.
Drink up me hearties, yo ho.
We're devils and black sheep,
We're.we're."
Her mind went blank. She couldn't remember the last words to that verse. What is that line? Kate's mind pondered the thought until she heard another voice sing a couple words:
".really bad eggs.
Drink up me hearties, yo ho."
Kaitlin froze and slowly turned around. "Captain Sparrow.what are doing here?" He walked up to her and forced her to back up against the railing. "Where did you hear that song?"
"I-I."
"Where did you hear it?"
"My mother sang it when I was a baby.never could figure out why?" Jack looked Kaitlin in the eyes and took her hand in his. She smiled and then noticed that there were storm clouds surrounding the ship. The sky grew dark and Kate's eyes widened. "Captain.something bad is going to happen. This is a horrid storm." He glanced around and dragged Kaitlin back into her cabin. "You are to stay here. Do not leave this room."
"What's wrong?"
"Miss Turner, I'm ordering you to stay in this room. This storm is going to be terrible and I can't risk you getting hurt, savvy?"
"But-"
"Just promise me."
"Alright.I promise," Kaitlin said as Jack smiled and shut her cabin door as he left. Kate stood in front of her door, hoping it would open and the Captain would order her to come out, but it didn't. She ran over to her window and gazed out at the storm. It had turned into a deadly place of darkness and fear. The wind was blowing and lightning was the only thing that you could see clearly. This is amazing. I have to go up there. Kate took of her dress and realized that she was still wearing her blacksmith clothes. She went through every drawer of the cabin and came across a knife. She tied it to her belt and tied her hair back in a ponytail with a black ribbon. She looked at herself in the mirror and took a deep breath.
Kaitlin ran to the door and opened it slowly. The wind pushed her back into her cabin, but she grabbed the doorway and pulled herself outside of her cabin, shutting the door behind her. The wind was blowing harder than anything she had ever felt in her life. It was hard to walk, so Kate grabbed the handrail and pulled herself up the stairs, through the pouring rain.
Meanwhile, the crew was up on deck trying to keep the Black Pearl afloat. The Captain was at the helm, but he was having trouble keeping it steady. The rest of the crew was pulling on ropes, trying to control the sails and the mast. Jack's son struggled up to the helm, water blowing in his face. "Father, where's Kaitlin?"
"Miss Turner is in her cabin.safe and sound." What he didn't know, was that Kaitlin had fought her way to the mast of the ship. The wind was blowing and the rain was extremely hard to see through. She gripped a rope attached to the mast and held it tight. This isn't what I had in mind. Where are Jack and his father? She looked up toward the helm and saw the Captain with his son. Kaitlin knew that if they spotted her, they would drag her back to her cabin, so she hid underneath the stairs that led up to the helm.
Captain Sparrow ordered his son to take the helm and steer clear through the storm and he ran down the stairs. He then darted over to the side of the ship and looked ahead. There was nothing in front of the ship and without warning, the yard of the ship swung in the wrong direction and knocked him overboard. "CAPTAIN SPARROW!" Kaitlin yelled as she darted out from under the stairs and over to where Jack fell overboard. She took a deep breath and stepped onto the rail of the ship. Anamaria ran over and shouted, "KAITLIN, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
"Captain Sparrow fell overboard. I'm going after him!"
"NO!" she shouted back as Kaitlin dove into the ocean water after the Captain. She hit the water hard and its waves were as tall as buildings. "JACK.JACK!" Kate continued to scream. There was no answer, so she took a deep breath and went under the water. She saw Jack's lifeless body floating farther and farther down. Captain Sparrow.she thought as she continued to swim farther. Within moments she reached his body and held him in her arms as she swam to the surface. When she got to the surface, she coughed up water and made sure to keep Jack's head above the water. She was breathing heavily as the waves continued to knock them back and forth. Through the darkness and water, she saw a small island within two hundred feet. The waves were pushing them toward the island, so Kaitlin relaxed and let the waves push them through the darkness and danger.
