Chapter 2
Part 2, Written by Lykosdracos
Jack Sparrow mumbled in his sleep, Annamaria was loathe to wake him especially after the battle with a storm the other night, but he was Captain and she always kept a promise. Now how was she to do this, after the pelting of the storm she wasn't about to wake him in the customary way. A bucket of freezing cold seawater seemed. . . cruel and he looked so peaceful.
"Mary." He whispered and Ana's jaw dropped in shock. Had he just nearly moaned another woman's name! That's it, her decision was made as she yanked one of the ropes on his hammock.
Jack woke in a tangle of strings and he pulled a carpet thread from his mouth as he glared up at Annamaria. He'd been having one of the best dreams of his life, and all he could remember now was a woman of outstanding beauty standing on a cliff looking for all the world like a sea goddess.
Her dark hair billowed out behind her and her eyes flashed green fire. If he had to travel to the ends of the world he would find her. The beautiful lass with hair red as fire and no doubt a spirit to match.
"Sleep well?" Ana asked hand on hip.
"Up until now, aye." He stood and couldn't help the roguish smile that came to his face. After such a dream how could he be miffed over such a small thing as this? It hadn't been a dream though she seemed so real. She had called him for help, he could see the cream color of her skin, the pink color of her lips just begging him for a kiss.
"Time's past and you have a ship to command, or have you forgotten with your thoughts of Mary?" she scoffed and closed the door behind her.
"Mary." The name rolled off his tongue and left him wanting to know more. Now the woman had a name therefore she must be real! All that was left to do was find where she stayed, a task in itself, but nothing was too great a challenge for Captain Jack Sparrow.
He buckled the cutlass to his waist and latched the pistol firmly along side it. He'd tell the crew that a change in course would have to be made Tortuga could wait. Annamaria would at least be pleased with that, while she liked the island well enough she thought they spent too much time there, as it were.
Jack for once agreed with her on that. They hadn't pillaged or plundered in nigh three fortnights and he'd need treasure to offer Mary when he met her. She deserved a ruby or emerald to match her beauty and he only hoped that would be enough.
