I love all you guys, thanks for your advice and kind words! Now on with
the story!
Chapter 5
Will climbed aboard the Pearl with the help of Jack. On the way to the island, Jack and Will were silent until, "Do you think she'll forgive me?" Jack asked.
Will sighed and thought for a moment, "No, Jack, I don't think she'll ever forgive you," but seeing the sadness in Jack's face, he added quickly, "but you're her father, and that means she'll always have unconditional love. But don't expect anything.
"I know." Jack said absent-mindedly.
When the island came into view, Jack started giving orders, "Okay, I want JUST Will and me on the island! And if I give the signal, I'll be in need of assistance, but I think we can handle her."
Will and Jack started rowing to the island, "How will we find her?" Will asked.
"She knows we're here." Jack answered.
When they waded onto to beach Jack looked around nervously, "She's somewhere around here." He saw a movement in the trees ahead. "Amber?" He called.
She stepped out from what seemed like nowhere wearing rags (no doubt given to her by the rumrunners), a bandanna, and holding an old sword.
"Hello love." He said nervously.
She stared hard at him with those large, brown eyes.
"I think you know who I am, and this is my friend, Will." Jack said.
She never once took her eyes from his face, "What, did you bring a friend to help finish me off?" She said coldly.
Jack sighed, "I'm sorry, Amber. I... I really regret what I did.
Amber was untouched. She glared at him, "You left me on this tiny island with nothing but a bandanna and this," she held up the sword, "You can't say sorry and that's that."
"I know, but I want you to come back with me." Jack said.
Amber shook her head, "The only reason I survived was because the rumrunners brought me food, clothes, and books to teach myself."
"But why didn't you leave with them?" Will broke in.
Amber looked at him, "I was... well, scared," she looked embarrassed, "I thought that if all people were like my father; then maybe it wasn't worth going back."
Jack said quickly, "Well I came back because I want you to know I'm sorry, and not all people are like me."
Amber thought for a moment, "I don't care if you're sorry, but I'll come because I'm older and I want a life."
"Alright then!" Jack said, seeing this as his chance to make it up to her.
She glared at him and his smile quickly vanished, but his eyes still danced.
They rowed to the ship in silence, and Will couldn't help noticing Amber's very muscular body, and how her face looked so muck like Jack's. Her eyes were very large and a very odd shade of chocolate eyes. Her hair was very black and long, but tangled like she had never seen a brush. But, overall, she was very pretty.
When they arrived at the ship, the crew looked funny at Amber, but quickly ignored her when Jack saw them staring.
On the way back to Port Royal Amber said not a word, that is, until Jack made the mistake of trying to make conversation with her.
"So, Amber, would you like to live on the Pearl? Of course I can buy you anything you want, and that way you can see the world, and I could teach you to swordfight." Jack said to Amber.
Amber continued to stare out at the sea, "I know how to use a sword." She said evenly.
"Well that's good." Jack said.
"And as for living with you; I wouldn't count on it." Amber said ignoring what his comment. "Where are we going?"
"We're going to Port Royal, where I live." Will answered, "You can decide what you want to do when we arrive." He said, looking at Amber, "Don't make up your mind just yet."
"Oh, I'm pretty sure of my decision." Amber said looking hatefully at Jack.
When they arrived at Port Royal Will, Amber, and Jack made their way to Will's house. When Will opened the door Elizabeth greeted them each with a warm hello. When she got to Amber, she quirked an eyebrow, and then shook hands with her, "I'm Elizabeth, you must be Jack's daughter...?"
"Amber." she said, deciding she liked this woman.
Elizabeth smiled, "I suppose you'll be leaving with Jack?"
Amber didn't reply, she just sighed and looked away. "Umm, Amber would you excuse us?" Will said.
Amber nodded as they went to the room through the hall. "What are you going to do with her?" Elizabeth asked.
"I don't know," Jack answered, "She doesn't want to live with me apparently."
"Well if she's sure, then I suppose that we could take her in." Will said, noticing how disappointed Jack looked by this.
"I think that's what she would want." Jack sighed, "I better be leaving then. I'll just say goodbye." and left the room.
Sorry that was so long, I just couldn't find a good place to stop! :-) Will Amber stay with Will and Elizabeth? Will she forgive him? Deep down does she still love her father? If you want to know, then REVIEW! Thank you.
