As they turned the corner, Orlando gasped. This was the legendary Black Pearl and he was going to be sailing on it with a girl he liked. As Jack boarded the ship, Jessi stayed behind to help load the cargo on board. Orlando, of course, stayed to help her. Jessi took a box and easily lifted it up and into the ship. The other men shook their heads because they had been using two men per box. Orlando's mouth, by now, had to have reached

the floor. Jessi came back down and the men said together, "Use another man!" She laughed good naturedly. Orlando composed himself and Jessi looked at him. She motioned for him to help her and he walked over. Later that evening, Jessie and Orlando got the last box on board. They casted off and stared to

sail toward La Isla de Muerta.

One of the crew members went up to Jessi and hit her back. "Good work mate."

"I'm just so tired." She gasped and fell into him. She sounded really pathetic now. "Carry me Rodrigo."

"You're so dramatic Jessi."

"I know. The same thing happened yesterday," she quickly said in a regular voice. She smiled and stood up straight. The crew member walked off. "You need a tour?"

"Yes."

"Come with me then." At the end of the tour, they ended at the bunks. "This is where you're going to sleep."

"Where do you sleep?" he asked walking up to her. He was so close to her that she could feel his breath on the side of her face.

"You'll never know," she said playfully. He smiled at her and she turned to face him directly. She smiled back. They heard footsteps outside and the quickly backed apart from each other. Jack walked in.

"We need you two at the helm. Come quickly." They walked out of the room and up the stairs to the top deck. When they got there, they saw a ship burning up. It had been attacked by pirates. A cry came from the debris. Jessi ran to the bow and looked over the side. She saw a little boy on a plank. She knew her fear of being alone and she knew the boy had been there a while. He looked no more than five years old. Jessi got up on the rail, and then dove over the side of the ship. Orlando ran to the railing.

"Jessi!" The crew then sprang into action. "Man overboard!" Will threw a rope over for Jessi while the rest of them looked for her. Someone saw her, yelled, and pointed at her. Orlando ran over and saw her swimming toward the boy. "Drop anchor!" Jack yelled. Both anchors dropped and the ship slid to a halt. By this time, Jessi had reached the boy. She knew that there was no way she could pick him up and not have one of the drown on the way to the ship. The boy saw her and stopped crying. She treaded water for a moment

while trying to figure out what to do. The night seemed to grow darker all of a sudden. She looked at the plank and had an idea. She grabbed the plank and pulled it along as she swam. The sea was calm, so it wasn't hard. She was getting tired fast though. She was almost there when she just couldn't swim anymore.

Orlando saw her start to sink. He, without hesitation dove into the water. Will

followed him. Orlando got to Jessi and the child first. He grabbed Jessi and

pulled her to the ship. Will grabbed the child and did the same. Orlando put

Jessi over his shoulder and climbed the rope. When he was close enough, some men grabbed Jessi and pulled her up. Orlando swung over the railing. Will came over the railing and handed the child to Annemarie. The men gently laid Jessi down on the deck. Orlando leaned over her, fearing for her life. He leaned closer to hear if she was breathing. She was. He sighed in relief.

"Back to work! Hoist the anchors! Make way for La Isla de Muerta!" Jack yelled. The crew disbanded from their circle and went to work. Rose and Elizabeth, who had been downstairs cleaning, saw Jessi on the ground with Orlando holding her head. He was leaning close to her and talking softly her. Jack walked to Annemarie and took the child from her. He walked over to the girls and gave the child to them. "Take it below and take care of it love." They nodded numbly and took the child. They went below. Jack turned

to Annemarie, who had walked up behind him. "Do you think it was wise taking him? He will sidetrack Jessi."

"No."

"Do you have a reason?"

"Call it a woman's intuition." She pulled Jack toward the helm. "Lead us well Jack."

"Open your eyes! Tell me you're all right. Do something!" he said desperately. Her eyes flickered open. The first thing she was Orlando's beautiful blue eyes.

"I'm fine," she said weakly.

"Don't do that again. You scared me." His voice lowered to a whisper. "I thought I'd lost you."

"Come on mates! If she's up, get her working!" Orlando helped her up and she went out help with the port anchor. He shook his head. 'Come on Jack! Couldn't you have given me just a few more seconds?' "Yes sir?"

"Go downstairs and see if the girls and the child are all right." Orlando turned and walked off. A few hours later, the crew was asleep. 'Everyone except me,' Elizabeth thought. The child seemed to cry even louder. Jessi walked in sleepily.

"May I take the child?"

"Please do." She held the child and he seemed to relax, so she then took him up to the top deck. The wind felt good against her face. She sat down

of the deck and leaned back against the rail. She started to sing her favorite song. After she had finished, the child was curled up against her sound asleep. She smiled at him. She stood up and turned to face the bow of the ship. The wind whipped her now straight hair behind her. She closed her eyes and stood there for a moment. She then went downstairs to give the child back to Elizabeth. She was asleep, so she took the child into her room so she could watch over him. She put the child into bed and went to sleep.
