CHAPTER FIVE
"A... pirate ship?" Jack asked confused.
"A' course." Anna Maria laughed. "Who's tha'" She motioned to Bill who was slowly waking.
"My friend, Bill."
Bill groaned and slowly opened hi eyes. "Jack?"
"Yeah?"
"Why aren't we dead?"
Jack smiled at Bill who was slowly sitting up, then turned to Anna Maria. "Why aren't we dead?"
"Me Da' saved yer life." Anna Marie explained. "But don' think he won't want nothin' in return."
Jack went to stand up but felt something dig into his side. He reached over into his pocket and pulled out the gift that his mother had given to him before he left. It was still wrapped in the brown package.
"Wha's that?" Anna Maria said, inching closer.
"It's the gift his mum gave him, before we left." Bill explained coming closer. :Why don't you open it?"
Jack gently tugged on one of the strings, letting it open. He unfolded the paper to reveal a small wooden thing.
"It's a compass." Jack stated, flipping over in his hands.
"It's broken," Anna Maria said, swiping it from his hands and studying it. "Might as well toss it. When ye fell in the water, it got all water logged. Don' point North."
"I'm gunna keep it." Jack said, sticking it back into his pocket.
Anna Maria shrugged. "Yer broken compass."
Bill rubbed at his eyes and yawned. Anna Marie shook her head as if remembering. "Oh, ye'll be wantin' a place to sleep. Best place we got available is in this room. It's where I sleep an' if it's good enough fer me, it's good enough fer you."
Bill and Jack shrugged at each other. There wasn't much of a response they could give to that.
Anna Maria went to a corner of the room and pulled out a couple of blankets. "Ye can use these to sleep on. One for under ye, one for on top of ye, and one to fold under yer head."
Jack and Bill each took their blankets and set up beds near where Anna Maria had hers.
"I suggest ye sleep now. I'm gunna. Tomorrow ye've got a lot te' do. Tomorrow, ye go on the account. Either that or we leave ye on an island somewhere."
"The account?" Bill questioned.
"The piratical account? The code?"
Jack and Bill exchanged confused looks.
Anna Maria rolled her eyes. "Ye'll find out in the morning."
Jack got down under his covers thinking he would not be able to sleep for hours, so much was going through his mind but surprisingly, he was asleep in a few minutes and didn't dream until he was woken early the next morning.

Jack was woken the next morning by Anna Maria shaking him. He sat up quickly, making his head spin. It took a few minutes for it all to clear and for him to remember where he was.
"Get up. Get up." Anna Maria tugged at him. "Time to go out on deck. The storms over and they wanna put ye on the account."
Bill sat up next to Jack, his hair mussed up and going every direction. "Wha's going on?"
"Time to go on the account." Jack explained, standing and doing his best to straighten his clothes.
Bill stood quickly and looked at Jack. "We're gunna go out the account?"
"What does that mean, anyway?" Jack asked.
"It means," cut in Anna Maria. "That ye're going te' join our pirate crew and hafta give up a certain amount of yer treasure to us for a certain amount of years. There's other rules but that's the basicness of it. Ye'll learn the rest soon. A'course, if ye fail to follow the rules," she grinned at them. "We're allowed to kill ye."
"What all do you do as a pirate?" Jack asked.
Anna Maria thought shortly. "Pretty much whatever ye want te'."
Jack and Bill grinned at each other.
"Wiv'in the code, a'course."
"A'course." Jack replied, then looked surprised at himself. The accent was beginning to wear on him.
"To the deck then."
