Chapter 6: A twist in fate and a Bonny-Lass, All in one day!
Jack was lying on the cold wet sand; a group of shabby looking men surrounded him, looking down in bewilderment. Jack studied them closely through his half closed eyes. They all seemed to be wearing tatty loose clothing with rips in various place. One of the men stooped low and looked at Jack closely
"Looks like a freebooter ter me" the man stood up again "Can't tell whether he's still with it though, if ye know what I mean maties"
Jack looked up again at the man 'No, he definitely don't look like a Navy sailor to me' without any further thought Jack reached up and grasped the mans hand tightly, as quick as was pirately possible he jumped to his feet and pulled out his pistol
"An' would there be a problem if I were a pirate, or freebooter as ye so kindly put it?" Jack breathed into his ear, by now all the other men in the crew had backed off slightly, not really knowing what to do 'Not such a stupid idea then Jack!'
"No, o' course there wouldn't be, we don't wanna hurt ye, we only wanna get our rum" the man paused for a moment looking to the rest of the crew "O' dear I shouldn't have said that"
"Ye mean your rum runners?"
"Yeah, well what else do ye think we'd be fo'? There hasn't been no one on these lands fo' years, that's why we are a bit baffled as to why there is someone here"
"Long story, that you really don't wanna 'ear about mate" Jack glared at the man "And so what can I be callin' ye?"
"The names White, Mathew. Matt for short if ye like, an' may I asks your name?"
Jack took a long look at Matt before he answered, deciding whether he should answer, 'after all' he thought 'they may be givin' me a lift'
"The names Cap'n Jack Sparrow" Matt's crew gasped silently in shock.
(Jack to Will "An' why shouldn't they mate, I'm the most feared pirate in the Spanish Main" *Will rolls his eyes*)
"Well, well, well, Cap'n Jack" Matt's tone had changed considerably, but not in Jacks favour, or so it would seem "Where is your ship, the Pearl isn't it?" Matt's attitude was mocking which made Jack shift nervously 'I really don't like the way this conversation is goin''
"O' I had a little trouble, so ye could say" Jack retorted with a smirk of gold and white teeth
"O' really, so why are ye here on this island?"
"Some unfortunate friends of mine had a . . . change of heart" Jack didn't want this conversation to go any further, so he searched his mind for another conversation topic, and remembering the empty rum bottles decided that he'd risk mentioning his little 3 day party "so, um, ye own the cellar of rum-" Jack was cut off mid sentence
"So ye found our rum"
"I stumbled across it, yes. Look I hope ye don't mind mate, but I did take a couple o' bottles o' ye fine rum" he did complement them, at least
"So ye helped yourself to our rum, not thinking that anyone would come for it?"
"No, not really" Jack answered matter-of-factually "I've been 'ere for 3 days mate, an' when I found ye rum I couldn't resist" he explained with a smile. Matt looked as though he was about to snap back with some half-witty remark, but he was interrupted by the sound of a girl coming towards them shouting, Jack raised both eyebrows in delight 'knew there had to be somethin' good in all this'
"Father - Cap'n" the girl corrected, realising the look on Matt's face "the rum cellar has been broken into." A dark skinned girl had approached them and was standing facing Matt, who was obviously her father
"Aye, we know lass" Matt replied and pointed towards Jack, Jack looked up at him innocently "meet Jack"
"That's Cap'n Jack Sparrow to ye" he gave Matt a stern look and turned to the girl "but ye can call me Jack" Jack bent down a little and kissed the girls hand
"you-are-the-cap'n-Jack?" the girl stuttered
"Aye" Jack replied "at ye service" he bowed down again "An' what be your name lass?" He enquired politely
"Ana-" Matt interrupted the meeting of the two
"Avast! There's no need for ye to know that" Jack eyeballed Matt "Um, Cap'n Jack" he corrected unwillingly
"Father, he's only askin' for me god damn name!" the girl protested "its Ana-Maria Cap'n Jack"
"Ana-Maria" Jack pondered "Well, that's a fine name for a fine lass" he smiled at her, presenting his set of gold and white teeth
"Now be off Ana-Maria" Matt interrupted again, Ana-Maria grinned at Jack and retreated back the way she'd came 'lovely lass' Jack smiled, thinking to himself. "Now Cap'n Jack, is there anything we can do to help ye in getting' off this island?" Jack sighed thoughtfully 'o' who's clever'
"Well, actually, thinkin' bout it mate, I would like ter get off this island one day, so would it be possible to barter a lift off ye?" Jack questioned calmly
"O' I don't really know about that Jack . . ." Matt wondered off, reeling off a list of reasons why it 'wouldn't be a good idea to be givin' a pirate a ride'
"Well, it can't be that bad, where are ye next making berth?" He suggested pleadingly
"We have one more stop on La Orchilla, and then it's on to Tortuga"
"O', Tortuga" Jack cogitated "Couldn't ye fine men take me to Tortuga? I'll buy ye all a drink" Jack paused thinking about this 'why are they goin' ter want me to buy them a drink? They have a whole cellar!' Jack concluded his thought by adding "If ye be wantin' one"
"I don't think that'll be necessary mate" Matt replied smiling
"O' course" Jack laughed "Tortuga then?" Jack enquired
"Tortuga" Matt answered reluctantly "but any trouble Jack Sparrow and you'll be overboard. Savvy?" Jack saluted Matt grinning
"Aye" he replied mischievously as Matt turned his back and walked away.
