Chapter Thirty
"Pearl could you help me with that box over there?"
"Sure father." Pearl said happily. Pearl handed her father a box filled with olds and ends. Pearl was so excited to be in Tortuga. She had heard stories about this place and how everyday brought something different. But most of all she was hoping that she would meet the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow.
Her friends had told her stories about him, and when she found out that now she would be living on the same island with him she didn't know what to say to that. It was like a dream come true!
"Pearl stop day dreaming! We still have a couple boxes to get off the ship." Her mother said in a stern tone.
"But mamma, do we even know where we are going to live yet?"
"There should be some empty space somewhere in one of the building down in the ally." Pearl gulped at the sound of that. She didn't want to live in a dark ally. Who knows what could happen! Pearl followed her father off the ship while holding her doll she had made close to her chest.
She followed him down the streets. Her curious eyes wandered around looking at all the shops and different looking people. She saw an open door to a building on the corner. She peered inside to see people sitting at tables singing and laughing. "Yo ho yo ho a pirates life for me..." she heard the people singing.
She grabbed mother's dress and pulled her over to the door. "Mamma, what's wrong with them?" Her mother rolled her eyes.
"They are just having some fun." Her mother said. Pearl nodded and they walked on. She held onto her mother's dress as they walked down the streets getting closer to the ally. Moments later they reached the back allies.
Pearl gripped the side of her mother's dress even tighter. "Pearl! For heaven sakes! There is nothing to be scared of." Pearl whimpered slightly as she let go of her mothers dress. Making sure that she stayed close to her mother she looked around at everything.
It wasn't a very big space. There were brick walls on either side of her and few windows on the buildings. She did not like the looks of it here. "Are you sure we have to stay here?" Pearl asked.
Her father turned around. "Yes, I am sure."
Pearl looked disappointed. After a few more minutes of walking they reached where they were headed. Her father stopped at a door and opened it. Inside was dark, there was not much light inside. Her mother walked in and looked for a light.
Moments later her mother found a candle. She lit it and walked over to the door. She reached out her hand and Pearl grabbed it. She walked in close to her mother. From what light that was in the room Pearl could see some rags on the floor and a small bed in the corner.
"It's cold in here mamma." Pearl wined.
Her mother ignored the comment. "This will have to do." She said to herself.
Pearl walked around the small room trying to make out everything in the room. Suddenly Pearl bumped into something in a corner. She leaned down and figured out that it was an old oil lamp. Pearl smiled and lit it. The light filled the room. Now they could see everything. The walls were brown with one small window.
There were rags and a bed in the corner. In another corner was a small wooden chair, then next to Pearl was the oil lamp. Pearl looked at her father with a disgusted look on her face. "Father!" she wined.
Her father gave her a stern look, "Pearl don't start that!"
Pearl looked down. "Yes sir." She mumbled.
Her mother walked over to her and leaned down next to her. "Why don't you go outside and play? Your father and I will finish getting the stuff out of the boxes. Pearl smiled and walked outside. She looked around, and ran down the ally and back into the busy streets.
Pearl was very interested in what she saw earlier. The people laughing and singing inside the building, she decided to go take another look. She walked around hoping she would not get lost. Finally she reached the building once more.
She looked inside and saw people still laughing and singing. Pearl smiled and slowly walked inside. She looked at everyone in the room and smiled. It looked like such fun she wanted to join in.
She walked over to a man behind the counter. "Excuse me sir...could I have whatever they are drinking?" Pearl asked.
The man looked at her and laughed. "That be rum missy. You are just a little too young to be drinkin that stuff."
Pearl walked away in frustration. What was the big deal? It was just a drink! It probably tasted like water for all she knew! Just as she was about to walk out she noticed that there was a cup sitting on an empty table.
Pearl looked around and then back at the cup. She slowly walked closer to it. Before anyone realized what she was doing she grabbed the cup and ran out the door. Pearl smiled and sat down on the ground. She then took a sip.
She smiled. "Not bad." She said to herself. She then raised the cup to her lips and drank the rest. "Mmmmm...." Pearl said. "That was great...I want more." Pearl decided that she would come back tomorrow and try to get more. Pearl gathered herself together and stood up.
It was getting late out so she decided to head back to her new home. She walked along with her doll in one hand and the other swinging freely at her side. She turned to corner and walked down the ally way. Suddenly she was not happy anymore.
It was dark down this path and she was scared. Pearl stopped and looked around. She took a deep breath and ran all the way down to where the door the her house...er room was. Finally she reached it. She could not open the door fast enough.
Once she made it inside she shut the door and ran over to the bed. She pulled the covers over her head and decided not to come out until the next day.
~*~
It was late the next morning and Jack awoke with Elizabeth sleeping peacefully in his arms. He smiled and crawled out of bed trying not to disturb Elizabeth. But it didn't work. She woke up, but she was not angry.
"Morning." She said in a sleepy voice.
"Morning love." Jack said.
Elizabeth got out of bed and walked behind the dressing screen. Moment's later she came out in a simple black dress. Jack was wearing his brown trouser and white shirt as usual. They both walked down stairs and into the kitchen.
Jack sat down at the table and watched Elizabeth. "Is it hard?" Elizabeth turned around. "Hard to do what?" she asked. "To cook." Jack said. Elizabeth laughed. "No not really. But I'm not in the mood today...how about we just go to the bar for some rum instead."
Jack smiled. "I'd love to."
They both walked down the hill and into town. Elizabeth heard what sounded like children fighting. She turned to Jack. "You go ahead I'll meet you there in a few minutes." Jack shrugged and headed to the bar.
Elizabeth walked over to where the noise was coming from and saw two boys picking on a small girl. Elizabeth hated seeing them do that, so she marched over there and shooed the children away. Before they ran away she heard the girl shout, "Give me back my doll!"
Before the boys could get away Elizabeth grabbed one by the collar of his shirt and glared at him. "Give her her doll...now." She said in a stern tone. The boy handed the girl her doll and Elizabeth released him. The girl sat on the ground hugging her doll.
Elizabeth knelt down next to her. "Is your doll all right?" she asked.
The small girl looked up. "Yeah she's not hurt."
Elizabeth studied the girls face. She looked so familiar. Same hair same eyes...everything about her reminded her of Jack. "Excuse me, but would you mind telling me your name?" Elizabeth asked.
The girl smiled. "My name is Pearl."
Elizabeth's eyes widened and began to fill with tears. "Y...you live right there?" Elizabeth asked.
"Yeah we just moved here. My mum said that I was here for a short time when I was a baby but I don't remember any of it." Pearl looked at Elizabeth and saw that she was about to cry.
"Are you all right miss?" Pearl asked.
Elizabeth looked at her. "Would you like to come to the bar with me, and meet a friend of mine?"
Pearl smiled. This was her opportunity to get more of whatever she was drinking the other day. "Sure!" she said happily. With that Pearl jumped to her feet and followed Elizabeth to the bar.
