Chapter 5-Speaking with Jack
The storm soon ended and we were able to make it back to the Black Pearl. I was much less tense knowing that Elizabeth would be here with me on the ship and also Will, a childhood friend of mine.
However, I wasn't too happy with Jack at that moment. I thought he would be nicer than this, but I had to face the truth. He hated me. I wish we would be on better terms, but it wouldn't happen. Unless I did something about it.
I was nervous and my heart felt as if it would pound out of my chest at any minute, but that didn't stop me. I had to find Jack and let him know what was on my mind. And he would listen and come to some sort of agreement, if I had anything to do with it.
I found him at the helm, steering and staring off into the distance with a glazy look in his eyes. It was the love he showed for the ocean in front of him. He loved the ocean more than anything; more than his crew, more than any woman he ever slept with, and most likely, more than his rum. I interrupted his thoughts by tapping him on the shoulder. He shook his head quickly and looked down at me. He looked angry at me for interrupting him, but it couldn't wait any longer.
"Well, what is it lass?"
"We need to reach an accord of some kind, because I don't know about you but I can't take it anymore."
"Lass, what are ye talking about?"
"This! The way you treat me! I signed on this ship thinking you would be better than my old captain but no! It's not fair! Just because I have the skills to be a pirate, you put my in my cabin all night and didn't let me eat! It's not fair to me and we need to change it."
He just stared at me. But I wasn't bothered by it because he looked impressed. He smiled at me.
"You're the first one, lass, to speak up when ye don't like something. I like it. Ok, we have an accord, I shall treat ye better than I have in the past."
I smiled up at him and gave a pirate salute *If you don't know what I mean, remember what Jack did after he saw the sign 'Pirates, ye be warned?' Where he lifted his hand to his head then brought it down again? Yeah, that's it*
I started walking away, but turned to look at the pirate captain once more. He was gazing at the sea in front of him again and it made me wonder. He agreed quite easily to what I said, and I couldn't help but think if he was telling me the truth.
I found out while I was eating dinner.
I looked to my side at Jack, who was sitting next to me.
"Jack.what is this?"
We both looked down at my plate at the measly piece of broccoli sitting there.
"Aye, lass. I said I would treat ye better. I never said I would feed ye better." He smiled at me.
I made a small little growl, then grabbed one of the two pieces of chicken that lied delicately on his plate.
"Lass, what do ye think yer doin'?"
"Getting my fair share. Just like you promised me."
Jack furrowed his eyebrows, then came to a conclusion. "Ah, I get it lass. You take a piece of me chicken, and I take yer rum. Do we have an accord?"
I laughed at his antics to try to negotiate with me. "Aye, mate. We have an accord." We shook hands and went back to dinner.
After dinner, I helped Jack with the stupid rudder again. It broke down almost every day, and at the next stop we had to find a new one.
"So, lass, how long have ye been a pirate?"
"I think, Jack, the easier question would be when have I not been a pirate? And the answer to that is never."
"Is that so? I started when I was 5; right after me parents died."
My eyes widened in shock as I looked at his serious face.
"Your parents died?"
"Of course, lass. They were killed by British soldiers. Funny, the soldiers thought they were pirates. That's why I became one meself."
"Wow.that's awful.about the parents' thing."
"Yes, well, in truth it did make me stronger."
"Yes, I suppose it did."
There was a silence after that. I wanted it to end badly, and soon enough, Jack started conversation again.
"What happened to your mother?"
I looked at him shocked. He actually cared about what happened to her?
"She um." It was hard for me to talk about, but I continued anyway. "Ok.my father and mother were both pirates, right?"
Jack nodded and I continued again. "Well, evil men came on the ship. My father called them Navy Devils, but I knew them as British Soldiers. They went to take down my father's ship and kill us all, but they would never succeed at taking our ship, our crew, or our freedom. So we all fought back with our daggers and swords. They almost got me, but I parried and they missed, falling into the depths of the sea. My mother however was not so lucky. She could not parry quickly enough and they got her, and took her down. I had to take up all her responsibilities.she was head chef and.I couldn't cook."
"Wow.I never had to deal with cooking."
"Yeah.I almost set the place on fire a few times." At this we chuckled. But the awkward silence came back.
"So.I'm just going to go to bed." I said to him.
"WAIT!" He shouted, grabbing my arm.
I looked down at his hand grabbing my arm and let out a little laugh. "Yes?"
"Um.goodnight?" He muttered.
"Goodnight, Jack."
Before he stopped me again, I shouted back at him "CAPTAIN Jack."
