Chapter 21-Plans
Jack sat impatiently in his cabin, stabbing his map with a pen. He tried to think of every possible place that the ship could've gone and the quickest route to each of them. It wasn't easy seeing as there were many routes to each individual place.
Will would come in every once in a while to help but would leave just as soon to tend to Liz. Ana Maria would help as well, but it didn't do much good. Jack was in there for about 4 hours trying to figure out if he had every possible place and the routes to them. Once he thought he had them all, he came back out and gave orders to the first place he thought the ship would be. Where the ship usually made berth; Symantec Port. It would take three weeks at least to get there so they wouldn't waste any time. ~*~*~*~
After they tied me up to a chair, they decided to question me.
"So...you knew you could come back and decided against it? We'll make you pay for that." He pulled out a large whip and almost whipped me with it but I used my body weight to fall over in the chair.
"Whatever happened to the bloody pirate code?!" I asked very annoyed.
"To the depths with the pirate code! We needed a better swordsman...erm, swordswoman so we came back for you."
It took me a while to realize, but as soon as I did, a gasp escaped my lips.
"Where's Elijah?"
The captain smirked before a laugh escaped him. "After you left, he didn't want to be onboard anymore...we dropped him off in Tortuga months ago."
I growled and tried to free myself, which only resulted in one painful whip.
"Want to try that again?"
I moaned and bared my teeth, but realized it was no use. I slowly shook my head no.
"Good."
"Where are we?"
"No business of yours!"
I sighed and silently prayed that I would soon see the Black Pearl in the distance. ~*~*~*~
"Will?"
"Yes?"
"What are we going to do?"
"About what?"
"About Jack! He's so depressed. I've never seen him like this before." Liz asked while braiding her hair.
Will sighed. "I don't know. I guess we have to do our best to find Juniper. You know that Jack is crazy about her."
"Yes, but that will take forever."
Will looked away from his wife to the sword he was working on. "Then we have forever to find her." ~*~*~*~
Jack was up at the helm, enveloped by a mass of creepy and utter silence. The whole crew was baffled at his silence; normally he was humming or singing or something. They knew about Juniper but had no clue the relationship between the two.
He thought about Juniper and how scared she must be. He wondered if they hurt her at all and if they did, it would be their lives to pay. He looked to the ground and saw her pale blue bandana that always reminded him of the sea below him. He picked it up, examined it and put it in his pocket. He needed a little reminder of the woman he loved. He couldn't stand being away from her and wondered if this was what Will and Liz considered being love.
He turned around and as soon as he did, he regretted he turned around.
"SQUAAWK!! THERE'S A CHANGE IN THE WINDS! SQUAAWK!"
Jack knew the bloody parrot was talking about how Jack's attitude had changed dramatically but didn't care. He nodded solemnly and returned to the helm.
"I will find ye, love. I swear on pain of death, I will find ye. And whoever took ye from me will pay." ~*~*~*~
I sat in the cramped cabin and shivered. I hadn't been fed that day and was cold. My back hurt from the whip and I missed Jack with such emotion that my heart was about to break into two.
The captain returned to my cabin and I jumped back into the covers with fear he would beat me again.
"Soup...'s not warm, but it's food." He thought I was asleep and left the room. Once gone, I inhaled the soup quickly. It was like he said; cold, but it was food. It didn't fill me up at all but it helped a little. I grabbed my stomach in hunger, the soup only added to the starvation, making me want more.
I was praying sleep would soon overcome me, but it wouldn't. I was up almost all night in fear, nervousness and depression. There was a lot on my mind; where Jack was, when I would eat again, when I would ever see Jack again...no matter how hard I tried my thoughts always seemed to drift back to Jack. Finally, at around 3 in the morning, I covered my head with the pillow and hummed a little tune. I was asleep for about two hours until I was woken up to go to work. ~*~*~*~
Will stayed in his cabin alone, thinking of where Juniper might be. He wanted to see Jack go back to his old, funny, awfully annoying self, but knew it wouldn't happen soon. They would have to find Juniper, safe and alive before anything changes in Jack.
He sharpened another sword, his only comfort on the Pearl. The sound the blade made calmed him down somehow. The pressure on the young man had increased greatly in the past five months, what with his wife being pregnant, Juniper's disappearance, and Jack's depression. He felt he was the only one onboard without a major problem, even though it wasn't true. The whole crew didn't have a big problem, but he wasn't exactly close to them.
Liz came in the cabin and was surprised to see him still up.
"Will? Why are you still up?"
He didn't want to talk, but answered his wife none the less. "Thinking..."
"Darling, come to bed."
Will didn't want to, but slowly nodded and crawled under the heavy covers. Yet he didn't sleep. More thoughts of his sudden depression overcame him and he stayed awake until daybreak. ~*~*~*~
Jack sat in his cold cabin, motionless, soundless and emotionless. It was as if he was dead; just sitting there staring at the wall. He wondered what would happen to him if he never found her. He would just sit there, rotting away, thinking still of where she could be. He would never give up. He would keep searching and searching until he found her. Even if that day never came.
He missed her more than anything. He found it funny; he lasted once ten years without the Pearl but couldn't stand 10 minutes without Juniper. He missed her face, her smile, her laughs, and just her overall company. He loved her, that much he knew, but he never thought that love could hurt a person. He always thought that love was filled with happiness and compassion. Right now, he was feeling that cold, empty feeling. His life wasn't complete without Juniper.
He knew that night he wouldn't sleep. He would think of Juniper; ways to get her back, where she was, and if she was even still alive. The last thought scared him and he tried to shake it away, but it wouldn't work. He wanted to know that she was alive, wanted to know that she was safe.
He did everything to comfort himself. Maybe she was happy. Maybe she liked it on her old ship. But how was that supposed to make him happy if she was gone? He put on his holster and attached his sword and gun to it. He walked up to the helm and waited there. He took out his 'trusty' compass and tried to find his way. He couldn't wait any longer. The man who had Juniper would pay.
Lady KaGoMe409-Yup, couldn't stand her so I threw her overboard.
