*Chapter 4: What?!?!*
Jack stood at the helm of his ship, his compass in his right hand, and his left hand on the wheel. "A pirates life for me." he sighed.
He heard a scream come from his cabin, "joy, the lass awakes!" he said sarcastically.
He hopped down from the helm and strode over to his cabin, hands flying carelessly in the air. He pulled the doors open to reveal a frantic looking Adriana. She was in the middle of the room pacing back and forth, her hands in fists on her forehead.
Jack was bemused by this, and he watched her closely, but when he glanced over to his bed, he was greeted by a most unpleasant scene. There was blood everywhere.
All over his pillows, the sheets, and now that he really looked at Adriana, on her nightgown too.
'What the...' Jack thought to himself. He walked closer to Adriana but she backed away, frightened of the way he looked.
"I'm not gonna 'urt you. I just wanna see somethin', savvy?" he circled around her, inspecting her for some open wound or something to the sort, but found nothing. Then, it came to him. The fight between him and the man.
****
They circled around each other like vultures circle around a dead carcass. Moving closer to the unconscious girl with each step. Jack thrust his sword at the man, causing him to stumble backwards. He hit the girl's head with his foot. It was a pretty hard kick too.
The man thrust his sword back at Jack and caused him to drop his sword. It fell with a clatter next to the girl, hitting her head on its way down.
Jack pulled out his pistol and pointed it at the man's head.....
****
He brushed his hand against the back of her head and she shot forward in pain.
"Hmm..." he thought to himself. He inspected it more closely and noticed a pretty bad gash. 'But how could have that gotten there?' he asked himself. She had only gotten hit on the top of her head, kicked is more like it. Where could have this come from?
Before he could ask himself anymore questions, she lashed back with some questions of her own.
"Where am I? How did I get here? How long have I been here? Who the hell am I?!" she ran her fingers through her hair and shut her eyes. She didn't want to be here right now. She just wanted to figure out who she was and what was happening.
"First of all, luv, yer on the Black Pearl sailing in the middle of the Caribbean. Second of all, I brought you here cause you were passed out in a tavern. You have been here since last night. And you mean to say that you don't know who you are?"
Adriana just looked at him in shock. How could all of that be true? Really, who was she? "Can you at least tell me my name?"
Jack looked at her for a minute, not saying anything. Then, a plot began to form in his head. If he told her the wrong name, he could possibly change her, and make her whatever he pleased. "Yer name is, erm, it's.....Audrey, yeah, Audrey." he said to her, pleased with his lie.
"Oh, okay. Well, what's your name?" she asked, sad that she didn't remember anything about her life.
"Captain Jack Sparrow, luv." he tipped his hat as he said this. 'Boy' he thought, 'she must 'ave hit her head harder than I thought.' he said to himself.
"What was that Captain?" she asked, intrigued by his soft comment. What if it had something to do with her past? She was determined to find out as much as she could to try and put the missing pieces of her life back together.
