CHAPTER 9
Right, well starting were we left off...
Well then, I think its best ye know that Elizabeth's his fiancee now. Funny old world aint it?" he says, smiling flashing his gold teeth.
You dont say anything, but instead stand in silence.
"C'mon luv, lets go get some rum" Jack says to you, as you both start to walk this time at a normal pace. As you walked down a busy street, a million emotcions ran through your head- confusion, sadness and maybe a little bit of jealousy. No, not jealous you think to yourself though deep down you know you are. As you follow Jack into a pub, you push all thoughts of WIll and Elizabeth out of your mind. The pub is somewhat similar to most of the others in Tortuga, except for the strong smell of dust and of course, rum. As Jack placed a large cup infront of you, for the first time you were happy to see the rum. You instantly grab the cup, taking a large swig and feel the burning sensation of it, going to down your throat.
"Whoa, watch it luv. Wouldn't want to end up in bed with o'l Jack again now, would ye?" Jack said, with a cheeky grin upon his face. "Whatever" you reply, with a smirk on your face taking another swig.
You were only on your second large cup of rum, when AnnaMaria burst into the pub, running over to you and Jack. Suprisingly, Jack wasn't drunk at ths moment. "Why ello there luv!" Jack said smiling. AnnMaria looked shock, you could tell this wasn't going to be good. "Jack! At last! I've been looking all over for you!" she said, almost yelling. Jack opened his mouth to say something, but AnnaMaria continued- "The ship. She's gone!". Your eyes widened, in shock. "G..gone?" Jack managed to say after awhile, he was obviously in shock too. "Nobody steals my ship!" he said, getting up instantly and walking out of the pub, in a very fast pace. AnnaMaria and you follow, trying to keep up. You didn't know where he was heading for, but you had some guess it would be the dock. Down street after street, until finally Jack stopped. As you come to a halt, you pant for breath. "Jack were are we.." you start to say, but interrupted by a "Sshh" from Jack. You look ahead of you, and see a dock. Though it seemed to be a private one, you wonder why you were here. There is complete silence for a minute, and the only thing that could be heard was the soft sound of the waves lapping over the sand. You stand next to Jack, trying to figure out the expression on his face. He walks on, and you and AnnaMaria follow. Until you come to the dock.
Jack spins around, facing AnnaMaria and you putting his finger to his mouth signaling both of you to be silent. The three of you walk down the dock, the boards creeking under your feet. Until, both AnnaMaria and Jack stopped suddenly. You step forward and see a guard, sleeping. You looked at Jack, wondering what to do next. He notices you looking at him, and nods walking on. And then you see it, ahead of you- The one and only Black Pearl. You stand in awe for a second, looking at the ship. The wood shinning brightly in the moonlight. You step to the side a little...and feel yourself slip. You try to hold in your scream as you feel yourself falling off the side. You reach out in despair. This was it...you were going to fall into the cold, dark water. And then...you opened your eyes, and there was Jack holding your hand. You couldn't help but look down, and at this your eyes widened in fear. You look up at Jack, "Don't let go!" you say, not caring how loud you say it. He heaves you up, and you drop to your knees, panting. Jack stands near you, looking down at you. You move your head up, and your eyes meet. "Thankyou" you manage to say, with a smile on your face. He offers you his hand, helping you up. There is silence...again, until its broken by AnnaMaria- "Cap'n, the guards gone!" she says with a worried expression on her face. You look around you slowly, in search for any guards. Jack walking forward, AnnMaria following slowly behind, doing the same as you. You hear a slight movement, somewhere and as Jack turns around facing you, three or four guards appeared out of nowhere pouncing on Jack. You scream suddenly, in shock. And then more guards appear, this time heading for you and AnnaMaria. You try to fight them off, but soon realise its useless as they carry pistols and swords. The last thing you see is Jack, before something heavy comes down upon your head. And you slip into unconsciousness.
