Chapter 14: A Plan
The morning came quickly and Captain Sparrow awoke out on the deck. I must have slept here all night he thought to himself as he stood up and looked back at his cabin door. "Miss Turner," Jack said quietly as he darted to his cabin and opened the door cautiously. He found his son lying on the floor, and Kaitlin lying on his bed. She seemed to have not moved an inch from the night before. He walked over and sat down at the end of the bed. "Kaitlin," he whispered softly, "Kaitlin.you have to wake up. I told you not to hurt my son, and look what's happened?"
He reached out his hand and grabbed Kate's gently. He touched her wrist, but didn't feel a steady pulse, so he laid it back by her side. "I'm sorry," he said quietly as he walked out of the room and shut the door. His son heard the door slam, so he stood up and looked around. There was no one there. Most likely my father again.why is he always checking on me? Jack's attention soon went back to Kaitlin. He sat down on the bed, next to her, and touched her cheek. There was no body movement. "You rest.I'll return to you this evening."
As he shut the door behind him, Kaitlin's eyes shot open to a bright and empty room. "I guess this whole 'dead act' worked well. Now I better go and save my family from the brig." She stood up and put one hand over her shoulder. Damn this thing hurts.but if I can deal with a corset, I can deal with pain. She touched her waist and realized that her sword was still there, so she crept to the door and peeked out at the deck. To her surprise, the Black Pearl had stopped moving, there was nobody in sight, and the air was still and silent. A thick fog had crept over the ship. A chill ran up Kate's spine as she slipped out of the Captain's cabin and made her way to the stairs that led to the brig of the ship.
All of a sudden, she heard people talking quietly as she walked farther and farther down the steps. Kaitlin looked over the railing and saw the entire crew from the Dauntless sitting in cells. After she took another step, the voices stopped. Her father looked at the stairs from his cell and screamed, "KAITLIN!"
"Shh," she said as she scurried down the stairs and ran to her father, "There's no one on board. We've stopped somewhere."
"Isla de Muerta.that's where we've stopped. It's a guarantee that they won't be gone long. Are you alright?" She nodded, took out her sword, and walked over to the lock. She then jabbed her sword into it and broke the lock, allowing the door to swing open. Both of her parents came running out and threw their arms around her. "Kate, we thought you died."
"Mother, do I look like I'm dead?" The navy officers in the other cell stared at them until Kaitlin finally looked up. "What about us?"
"Sorry, Gillette," Kate replied as she broke the lock on their cell and they all escaped from it. As they tried to run up the stairs, Kate stepped in front of them. "Miss Turner, I'm afraid that you had better stay here while we go and fight the pirates. After all, you are injured and.and."
"And what, Commodore?" He shrugged and looked her over with a puzzled face. "You're a woman!"
"Yes.did you just realize that?"
"No, it's just.women have a tendency to get hurt." Elizabeth walked up next to her daughter and looked up at Norrington. "Oh.sorry my lady. I didn't mean.never mind." She nodded her head and walked back to her husband as Kaitlin began speaking. "Listen, you all have to realize that they think I'm practically dead right now, and they're all in caves. We have to make a civilized plan."
"How about we just kill them!" Kaitlin glanced at her father and whipped out her sword as she walked toward him. "Now.sweetheart, can you put your sword down and speak calmly."
"No.I don't think so. If any of you so much as lay one hand on them-"
"Miss Turner, you realize that they will be hanged when we arrive back at Port Royal," the Commodore interrupted. That thought hadn't crossed her mind until he said it. Hanged.Jack and his father hanged. I can't let that happen, but I need to go home. I know! "I agree with you.they should be hanged. Just don't harm them until we arrive back at Port Royal."
"Wonderful plan.we will do it."
"Thanks Commodore. Now.everyone gather around.I've got an idea."
