~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Amera woke up that morning, yawning as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes. It was still early in the morning, and boy did she have a headache! She was about to sit up and get out of bed, but, she was held down by something. Or someone!
Jack! She looked over finding him with his arm around her, dead asleep. His hair was a mess, tied back in his red bandanna. He must've passed out the night before from all the rum. Last night! The kiss! The events of everything came back into Amera's head.
She slowly took his arm off of her, crawled out of bed, and snuck out of the room, sneaking to her own. Hopefully, no one saw her and knew what had happened last night. Still, she was worried what would happen when Jack got up, if he would remember. She put the thought out of her mind, had some water and food, then went up to the helm.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* "MMM.morning already?" Elizabeth opened her eyes and looked out the window. She looked over at Will, who held her protectively in his arms. He stroked her hair and kissed her on the forehead. "Morning Elizabeth, did you sleep well?" She wrapped her arms around him. "Oh yes. That was quite an evening!" "Yes, it was."
Will leaned over and kissed her lightly. "I must go help on deck. You can come up later if you would like." He got out of bed and got dressed. She sat up in bed and smiled. "Alright." He smiled back and left the room.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Amera stood at the helm, happy to be out of that god awful dress she was in the day before. She rather much liked wearing what she usually wore. She had on a long white sleeve shirt covered in a brown vest with long tight black pants on and black boots. In this outfit, she felt much more comfortable. Plus, it was easier to fight in.
The sea breeze blew her long straight brown hair behind her. She enjoyed the fresh morning air. Then, Jack popped out from behind her. "Morning Knightly!" Amera jumped a little, but then put on a serious face again, looking ahead of her, trying to act normal. "Hello Jack, sleep.sleep well?" He put on his brown hat and stood beside her.
"Not really. I drank too much rum last night. Left me with a bad 'eadache." Amera relaxed a little. "So, do you remember what you did last night?" Jack held his head from the hangover. "Well, the last thing I remember, is you." She stared at him, not sure what to think, waiting for an answer. "I?" "You puttin' a dagger to me throat. Took me off guard, really."
She sighed in relief. "Anyways, I'll take over the helm a little late, Knightly. I think I need to go below, not feelin' too well." He swaggered to the stairs, then almost stumbled down as he went to his cabin.
It was a relief that Jack was unaware of the kiss he lay on her the night before. Amera was happy, she didn't want anyone to know about that kiss. Though, it was one of the best kisses she had ever had. But, she cared nothing at all for Jack. Her love was only for one man, Christopher Garrett. She promised herself, long ago, she would never love again. She would stay true to that promise, no matter what.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Elizabeth put her hands on the rail, looking out over the glistening sea. She took a deep breath, breathing in the salty air. "Enjoying the view?" Amera appeared beside her, taking Elizabeth completely off guard.
"Oh! Yes, I am." She began to hum to herself, a grin grew on her face. "Umm, what are you smiling at?" Amera eyed her curiously. "Nothing, just happy to be out here, free." Finally, Amera's brain turned on. She began to laugh out loud. "Ohh.you finally became a woman last night! I see, good for you!"
Elizabeth turned to her, shocked. "What? How dare you say that to me!" "Don't worry! I won't tell anyone! Every girl does it sooner or later, it's apart of life." She put a hand on Elizabeth's shoulder, then Elizabeth relaxed a little. Amera grinned, "So, how was it?" Elizabeth turned back to her, smiling. "It was.amazing." She whispered. Amera laughed a little, then looked over at Will, who was working on the opposite side of the ship. "Yes, well, he is a good man. You stick with him, Elizabeth. I can tell a good man when I see one."
They giggled a little, but were rudely interrupted. "Well then! Look this way!" They turned and saw Jack who was standing just behind them, hands on his hips, grinning like an idiot. Amera rolled her eyes, "You wish Jack!"
He walked over to them, frowning, then handed Amera a mop. "Clean the ship, it's a bloody mess! After you've mopped it top to bottem, wash the windows. Then after that, I've got plenty more for ya to do!" "What? Why do I have to do all this?" Jack crossed his arms, "Well, you're the only one not workin' besides Elizabeth, and I feel since you've been so incredibly nice to me lately, I'd give ya somethin' to show how much I appreciate your attitude!"
Amera groaned and went and snagged the mop out of Jack's hands. Jack ignored her and winked at Elizabeth. She sighed and went back to her cabin.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* "There! Done with everything!" The ship was glowing in the night from all the hard work Amera put into it that day. She had been cleaning for hours, and she was tired, and incredibly hungry. Everyone was already inside, probably eating. Amera put the mop and cleaning supplies away, then went into the kitchen.
No one was there, they had already eaten. "No!" She mumbled to herself. She desperately searched for food, but was unsuccessful. Amera stomped out of the kitchen and walked towards her room. Then, the person she least wanted to see happened to be walking her way. "Ah, Knightly! I see you've finished! Well, we already ate. I guess you'll have to wait to have somethin' to eat 'till mornin'!" Jack grinned at her. Amera's eyes narrowed at him.
"You know, this isn't a good way to treat me! Since I'm your partner and all!" "Partner? What'd ya talkin' about woman?" "You made a deal with me, last night! We both agreed we'd captain the Black Pearl 'till we get our riches! Don't you remember?"
Jack's eyes widened, curiously. Then, he raised his hands. "There's a few things you'd otta know. Firstly, I was drunk last night. I don't remember a blasted thing! Secondly, I don't keep deals I make. And thirdly, I would never ever split the Pearl with a woman!" He came out of the serious mood, grinned at Amera with his gold and silver teeth. Amera made a fist with her hand, threw it back, ready to sock Jack in the head. Jack closed his eyes, waiting for the hit. But, she stopped, frozen. Amera put her fist down, then ran up the stairs outside on deck.
Jack laughed in relief, then started walked to his cabin again. But, someone stopped him in his tracks. He looked up to see Will, who had seen the incident. "Oh, what the 'ell do you want?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Amera sat on a barrel towards the bow of the ship looking at the stars. Oh, how she hated Jack! Just to rip out his lungs if she could! But, the deal was, they would sail to the island, the one that only she knew where it was. Amera touched the sapphire locket around her neck. She wished she wasn't alone anymore. This adventure is all she had left, it was the only piece of her father she had left. The only thing she had of her family's. God, just to have someone to lean on, like she used to. Christopher. She took a ring off her finger, a ring he had given to her, his ring. It was a thick gold band that barely fit around her slender finger.
"Can I join you?" Amera looked behind her to find Jack, with an apple. He handed it to her, not saying a word. She began eating it, as Jack pulled up a barrel next to her. When she was done, Jack noticed the ring she held. "Did that belong to 'em?" "Who Jack?"
"Your love, the one you spoke about earlier." She looked down at it, playing with it with her fingers. "His name was Christopher. He gave me this the last day I ever saw him. I even remember what he told me, 'No matter what happens, I will see you again.' A couple weeks later, I heard the ship he was on was blown up. I.I promised myself to never love again. But, if you breathe a word of this to anyone, I will finish what I started last night!" Jack stared at her. "Then, why did you tell me?" Amera laughed softly. "I don't really know, I guess, I felt like telling someone. I haven't before now." Jack nodded, still not clear on why she would tell him and Amera smiled. "Ey, listen. I am sorry I've been uh, rather harsh on you. Just don't want to get pushed around by a woman is all."
Amera grew puzzled. "You're apologizing? To me?" He grinned at her, then nodded. She turned surprised. Jack pointed a finger at her, "But I'll kill you if you tell anyone though Knightly!" Amera got up and rubbed her head, her long dark hair flowing in the night. Jack became intrigued, raising an eyebrow. She was very beautiful. Full red lips, nice chest, great curves, fair skin and eyes as blue as the ocean.
Amera looked down at him, noticing his crazed stare. "You alright Jack?" He blinked a couple of times. "Course, just need some sleep is all!" She grinned a little, "Alright. Night Captain!" She said as she headed to her quarters. Suddenly, Jack had a funny feeling. It was in his stomach, he'd never felt this before, life he was nervous. He felt like he had knots inside of him. "Must need some rest." He said. Jack got up and swaggered below beck, and went into his cabin to sleep.
The Black Pearl sailed on, unknowingly sailing into the worst danger in the entire Caribbean.
