Hey you know your right! She is a little to perfect. Let's just tweak it a
bit. Anyway I'm sorry I didn't update so often. I was on vacation and you
know all that free time can get to you! Enough about me, let's get to the
story.
Chapter 7
The people ran in many different directions, tripping over food stands, or even running into each other. They screamed and shouted trying to get away from the visitors that threatened their island.
"Stay down." Said Chang. "I'll talk with them."
"Talking doesn't usually work."
"We'll see."
Chang pushed his way threw the crowd looking for the captain, she could see him for a few seconds before a man pushed her down. She got back up and looked for him again, but didn't see a trace of him among the swarm.
She heard men laugh and she figured he had found the man he was looking for. She let out a frustrated sigh and looked for a place to climb up on to see better. The town's people started to crowd and it became increasingly hard to tell what was going on. She climbed up on a pile of logs, but she lost her balance and fell on her backside. "Ah!" She rubbed her back and stood up. "I can climb rope, but I can't stay on top of a log." She looked at the house behind her and found a ladder lying in the grass.
She set it up next to the house and climbed on the roof, but the ladder cracked in half and she was stuck on the house.
"Look old man we're just looking for a girl, it ain't none of your business. Get out of our way!" A female voice shouted out over the crowd. She held tight to the chimney and looked in the clearing where a woman and many men faced Chang. Then a man stepped out of the crowd. He had a tri- corner hat, dread lochs, and a coat that came to his knees.
"Settle down men! What be the problem here?"
" Nothing much. If you leave." Chang smiled with squinty eyes.
"I'm afraid I can't do tha'. You see I lost a treasure o' mine and-."
He looked at her direction and smiled, pushing his way threw the crowd. "Wendy!" She jerked her head at his direction and gave him a shocked look. "Jack? What. Why are you here?"
"Why not? Come on down I need ta talk to ya luv'"
She looked down at the ladder. "I would, but I'm stuck up here."
"Well I'll catch ya."
She looked at him with his cocky smile, his dark eyes burned in the Caribbean sun. She let go of the chimney and sat on the edge of the roof. She shook terrified that he would drop her. 'I've never been scared of heights before. and I won't start now.' She closed her eyes and slid off the side. Two hands grabbed her and held on to her closely. She opened her eyes and locked with Jacks. She just kept staring at them. Big beautiful. "See I told ya." He let her down gently and she regained her composure. "Umm. You wanted to talk to me?"
He took her arm and smiled, but she jerked her arm away. "Thank you Captain, but I can walk. Chang rushed up to her, but stopped when she stared at her like she was saying 'It's ok'. He walked her to her house and opened the door.
"So what did you want to talk to me about?"
He sat on the chair closest to him and put his feet on the dining table. She stood and crossed her arms expecting an answer. "Just came to check up on you." He smiled again. "YOU KILL HALF THE TOWN JUST TO CHECK UP ON ME?!" He smiled again thinking that that is a good reason. She raised her hand to punch him, but stopped remembering that she does need a ride.
"Can you give me a ride?" She said putting her hand down.
"Where to?"
"The states."
He looked at her confused. "States?"
"You know the United States. Florida. Michigan."
"I know a Florida, but not a Michigan."
"Well just get me there."
He frowned and stood up.
"What for?"
"I need to get home."
"Ah yes. Didn't know you came all the way from Florida."
She sighed and sat down. "No. I come from Minnesota. Florida and Michigan are part of the United States as is Minnesota."
He sat down and held her hands. "Your going to have to tell me all about this on the way there luv'"
She looked at his hands. They were blackened from the dirty work aboard the ship, and very rough.
"And I'll take you to your home. All the way."
She giggled under her breath. "Thanks."
She stood up and put her helmet back on, but quickly took it off. "Just let me change."
She went into a different room and took it off. She folded it and placed it into a bag. "Come on." She dragged him out and was faced with Chang and Gus. "Uh guys. this is Captain Jack Sparrow. He's going to take me home." Jack smiled and Gus sniffed. "I. I'm gonna miss you Wendy. I'm going to remember you for the rest of my life." He walked up to her and with a bunch of sniffles hugged her. "I'll miss you too." He backed off and Chang walked up to her and held out her sword. "You'll need this in your journey ahead." She took the sword and smiled. "Thanks." She hugged him and said goodbye, but not without Gus bursting into tears.
She watched as the island got smaller and smaller until it was devoured into the horizon.
"And my journey home begins."
That's number 7!!!!!!! WOOOOOH! Well because I am a horrible writer I've made myself an award. 'TO: the worst writer in the world!' Have a good one!
