Chapter 11: Under Attack
The Captain released Kaitlin from his grip and put his gun down. He started to walk toward her, but she moved toward her dresser. As he got closer every second she looked at her sword, which was lying on her bed. "What do you want?"
"Miss Turner, I have no intention to harm you."
"Really," she said with a grin as she did a flip over him and landed next to her bed. She picked up the sword and pointed it at Jack's back. He slowly turned around and the sword was raised to his throat. "Put that thing down.please."
"Answer my question, and this sword will be back on my bed."
"Listen, gently put that sword down and I'll be on my way." Kaitlin looked deeply into the Captain's eyes and put the sword back on her bed. Jack walked toward her and knelt down in front of her. "Miss Turner," he said as he took her hands in his, "I never wanted to harm you."
"Then why do you always make it seem like a life or death situation?"
"Because."
"Because why?"
"Because it's how I am. All I wanted to say was.was.that I'm sorry for getting angry with you about you leaving your cabin. If you hadn't.I- MOVE!" he said as he dove on top of Kaitlin and a huge blast was heard throughout the ship. He stood up and walked over to the porthole of the cabin. There was a giant hole in the wall. "What was that, Captain Sparrow?"
"We're under attack!" he yelled as he ran over and helped Kaitlin to get up, "Come with me!" He grabbed Kate's hand and brought her up on deck. Young Jack Sparrow came running as soon as he saw her and wrapped his arms around her. "Did he hurt you?"
"No," she said breathlessly, "But something crashed through the window of my cabin and out the other side." He took Kaitlin up to the helm, where his father was standing. "Son, we're under attack by a ship of the fleet. I just can't make out which one it is."
"Where is it?" The Captain pointed toward the stern of the Black Pearl, so Kaitlin and Jack ran as far as the ship would let them. "Kaitlin, can you tell what ship that is?"
"The Dauntless," she whispered.
"Pardon me?"
"It's the Dauntless. My father and mother must be on that ship. Why else would they be following us?" He nodded his head and ran back to the helm. "Dad, I'm afraid that the ship at our stern is the Dauntless." The Captain's eyes widened and his body seemed to freeze. "Son, take Miss Turner to my cabin and lock her in. I can't have her father taking her yet." Jack nodded to his father and walked over to Kaitlin. He put his arm around her and walked her down the stairs. "May I ask where we're going?" Jack took a deep breath and led her to the Captain's cabin. He walked her in, kissed her gently on the cheek, and started to walk out. "Jack, what is the meaning of this?"
"I'm sorry, Kaitlin. Forgive me," he replied sadly as he locked the door behind him as he left. He leaned against the other side of the door and a tear ran down his face. He wiped it away quickly so no one could see him cry and he ran back up to the helm. Kate ran to the door, but the knob had been fixed. She tugged and tugged, but the door wouldn't open. "JACK! OPEN THIS DOOR NOW!" she shouted, but no one came.
Aboard the Dauntless, Will stood at the bow of the ship, watching the Black Pearl move away with his daughter aboard. "Will, WILL!" a voice shouted.
"Yes, Commodore, what is it?" he replied as he turned around to face him.
"We've spotted the Black Pearl, as you can see."
"Yes, and you shot a cannon at them. What if my daughter has been killed?"
"Knowing Mr. Sparrow, he's kept her from harm for a reason.although I don't know what the reason is. We are to attack and bring back your daughter within the hour." Will nodded and strapped his sword to his waist. He looked back up at the Black Pearl and gripped the rail tightly. We're coming for you Kaitlin.we're coming.
Back on the Black Pearl, the Captain was steering the ship and kept on glancing back at the Dauntless. His son was standing next to him, knowing that at any moment there could be another attack. "Father, what will happen if Kaitlin is in any way harmed on our voyage to Isla de Muerta?"
"Her father will have us hanged."
"Well, then why are we keeping her locked up?"
"Did you not hear a word I said? Listen.if she gets hurt, we die.savvy?" Young Jack Sparrow's eyes widened and he looked back toward the Dauntless. It was catching up every second. "Son, how far away is the enemy ship?"
"It's getting closer. This is supposed to be the fastest ship around.how can they catch us?"
"If I know Will Turner, he knows how to catch us because I helped Commodore Norrington catch this ship about seventeen years ago."
"They're getting closer, we must fight!" As he said that, Anamaria and Mr. Gibbs came running up to the helm. "What is it?"
"Captain, what are we going to do about the Dauntless?"
"Gibbs, I've been thinking about that and I don't know."
"What about you, young Mr. Sparrow?" Anamaria asked.
"We could fight them off," he quietly replied as he looked at his father.
"Miss Turner's family is aboard that ship.it's guaranteed."
"Gibbs, I don't see any other way. If we do not hurt those few who she loves, there should not be a problem."
"Father, they will attack us and kill if necessary to get to Kaitlin. If we can't attack them, we allow them to harm us." The Captain looked at the horizon and saw the sun setting. "Me hearties!" he yelled. The entire crew came running to his call. "The Dauntless approaches us from the stern. We must fight them in order to keep Miss Turner with us. She is locked in my cabin and will not escape, so she is not to be harmed. Do not intentionally kill anyone aboard that ship. Only defend yourselves and take captives if necessary, savvy?"
"AYE!" the entire crew shouted back as they went and prepared the Black Pearl for battle.
