Only the Truth
Author's Note: This chapter I hope isn't too gory for everyone. I'm off to my friends house after this is done!
Chapter 16
It was very very early in the morning.
Jack stopped abruptly and you yet again, bumped into him. His sense had come back to him.
"If I go to the Pearl now, in broad daylight, I may ne'er get to sail 'er again" he spoke to himself. You thought this was amusing, and stifled laughter as yet again your ankle throbbed. He turned around and started walking in the other direction. You turned to walk with him, but then he turned to face you.
"What am I doin'? Walkin' away from me Pearl!" He started running back to the docks. You were startled and didn't know what to do. He started running up the gangplank, and as you watched him look onto the deck with a smile, he fell off the gangplank and fell into the water.
"Jack!" you yelled and made your way to the water, trying hard not to wince at the pain from your ankle. You couldn't see him. There was nothing else to do but to jump. You dived into the clear Caribbean water, the cold shocking your skin at first. You managed to see Jack and thrashed your way down into the water, finally grabbing him. Why had he fallen? You pushed up through the water and got up to the surface. God Jack was heavy! You couldn't decide the best way to get him up onto the deck. There wasn't anyone around to help you and your energy was draining away quickly. After several attempts to climb up on the deck, you managed to get yourself up while still holding Jack's head up on water surface. He wasn't breathing, or conscious at that matter. You pulled him out, utterly exhausted. Now came the real problem, you didn't know what to do to get him to breath again! (A/n no lifeguard classes back then!)
"Jack, please!" you started crying. You thought maybe if you pushed on his stomach, the water that had overtaken him might come out. You gave three thrusts and miraculously, you were right. He came back to consciousness and he looked at you for three sparing seconds, then leaned over and spilled his guts out to the sea.
"Jack what is going on!" Then you realized people just don't fall into the sea for no apparent reason. You looked up the gangplank. There must be something up there that had shocked Jack so much that he fell. Jack was still throwing up. You braced yourself as you slowly walked up the gangplank, not knowing what to expect. Before you could see the deck you heard Jack.
"Love, no!" he said. Too late. You knew why now. The whole deck was strewn in blood and limbs. You couldn't hold yourself. You raced down the gangplank and joined Jack as you and him threw up into the water, your thoughts racing. Who would do such a thing? Cruelty. You knew those people had come back to get Jack after hearing he had escaped from the gallows. They were his friends and shipmates. A few minutes passed slowly as you and Jack had nothing left to throw up. You sheepishly looked at Jack, sort of embarrassed that he had to see you throwing up. Then you reminded yourself HE was throwing up, too. You straightened your face. Jack looked back at you. His face was red and sad. Then he came over and hugged you and started to cry on your shoulder. Not many women get to see a pirate captain cry, you thought. Especially Captain Jack Sparrow...
&*&*&*&
Yeah, I know. SHORT. But I'm leaving to go see a play, so cut me some slack! More of this adventure will come soon. REVIEW PLEASE!
