Chapter 3

Jack woke to the smell of smoke. He got up and looked around just in time to see Elizabeth throw another barrel onto the roaring fire that was spreading onto the trees.

"No, stop, what are you doing?!" Jack yelled, "You burned the food, the shade, the rum!"

"Yes the rum is gone." Elizabeth replied.

"Why is the rum gone?!"

"One, it is a vile drink that turns even the most respectable men into complete scoundrels. Two, that signal is over 1000 feet high; the entire Royal Navy is out looking for me; do you really think they won't see it?" Elizabeth challenged.

"But why is the rum gone?"

Elizabeth sat down in the sand, "Just wait Mr. Sparrow, give it an hour, maybe two and you'll see white sails."

Jack took out his pistol; thought better of it and put it away. Instead, he took a walk to the other end of the beach.

"Must have been terrible for you Jack," he mimicked, "well it bloody is now!"

Then he spotted a ship with white sails coming toward the island, "there'll be no living with her after this."

He was about to make his way back to Elizabeth when he heard something in the trees behind him. He looked over, and leaning on a tree was 17-year old Amber. Her dark eyes seemed darker with the anger that burned in them.

Jack was too shocked to say anything, but she sure wasn't, "You lied to me," she said this with an effort, like she wasn't sure if she was talking right, "you said you'd come back but you didn't." She was on the verge of tears now.

"I didn't...I, uh." Was all Jack could say before Elizabeth ran up behind him.

"Jack, they've come. Hurry!"

Jack looked at Elizabeth, and back at Amber, but she was gone. And for once, Jack felt like he had done something he regretted.

So what'd ya think people? I appreciate all the reviews and hope I get more! Love ya!
