There
was a loud noise from just below deck. Darren jerked his head up and
blushed slightly. "Uh.Jess. I... let's go see what happened,"
He said hurriedly then rushed past her to see what had happened.
Jessie just stood there in a kind of shock, had Darren just tried to
kiss her? She was certain he had but that noise, stopped him. What
would she have done if the noise hadn't happened? She didn't want to
think about it just now so she decided to go below and check out what
happened.
She
wasn't too worried; it was probably just a member of the crew who had
had a little too much to drink. She went down the stairs and when she
got to the bottom she wished she had stayed on deck. There was a crew
of the ugliest, meanest pirates she had ever seen. She stumbled back
and stumbled right into one of them.
"You'll
be Miss. Turner then?" growled a menacing voice. Jessie turned
slowly around and though she was terrified out of her wits, her face
was a mask that didn't reveal anything. "Who be askin'?"
"Never you mind that jus answer the question!"
Just
then a pirate came running down the stairs, screaming, "MISS.
TURNER WE'RE BEING TAKEN OVER!" He was obviously new to the
crew.
The
pirate looked at Jessie and grinned triumphantly, "So you ARE a
Turner, I thought so. You looked jus' the spittin image of yer
parents, well never the matter, yer comin with us."
He
reached out to grab her but Jessie kicked out and caught him right in
the stomach, he doubled over breathless and in pain (A/N did I
mention that Jessie was really strong? Well she is) Jessie took this
opportunity to run up the stairs and to the deck when she realized
that Darren was gone. He had gone downstairs, but she hadn't seen him
down there. She stood there for a while trying to decide what to do
when Jack came strolling down the deck. "Ahoy there Jess, what
ye be doin standin there all by yer onsies? Please tell me my son
isn't not being a perfect gentleman and accompanying you on yer firs
day back."
Jessie
was so glad to see him "JACK YOUR BEING TAKEN
OVER!"
Jack
stared at her uncomprehendingly, "Huh?"
"There
are pirates and their below deck and their looking for me
and."
But she
never finished her sentence because right then the door that led
below deck was flung open and there stood the pirates. and one of
them was holding an unconscious Darren by the back of the neck. Next
to him was the pirate Jessie had kicked earlier. "Now now now
Miss. Turner, is that really any way for a lady to behave?" He
took out a sword and held it against Darren's neck. "Now look
Turner, I'm not playing games, if you don't come with us and come
peacefully I'll slit his neck, he'll die, and it'll be all yer fault.
Now we wouldn't want that to happen would we now?" Jack was
standing in complete shock staring at his son. "YOU FILTHY
BASTARDS! IF YOU DON'T LET MY SON GO NOW YOU'LL BE REGRETTING IT AND
SOON!" He had pulled his sword out and held it menacingly in
front of him. "Jack if you take one step towards me your son
will still die only then it'll be YOUR fault," he turned to
Jessie and continued, "so I guess the fate of this young lad is
held in your pretty little hands. Whatadya say lass?"
Jessie
looked helplessly from Jack to Darren to the pirate and back to
Darren. Just then Darren moaned and moved his head a bit, everyone
looked at him. He opened his eyes and managed to mumble "wha
appen?" It didn't take too long for another pirate to come and
knock him back out. The crew had gathered around to watch a few
minutes ago, and when they saw this it was all it took to start a
fight among the two crews. Darren was son of the captain, and was as
close to a son as the rest of them had.
There
were pistols being fired, swords clanging, people screaming, and over
all chaos. Jess had managed to kill the pirate that had had Darren
but unfortunately in her attempts to save him she had forgotten about
saveing herself so a pirate had snuck up behind her(which was pretty
easy to do considering all the noise going on) and knocked her out
and was now bringing her back to the ship.
Everyone
was to busy fighting for their own lives to worry too much about
anyone else's. So Jessie was brought onto the ship, still
unconscious, and with no one even aware that she was
gone.
The pirate
ran up the stairs to ring a giant bell that told the crew to come
back, everyone in the crew heard it and abandoned their fights and
ran off to the ship.
The
crew of the Black Pearl immediately started checking for any dead
bodies, or missing people. Jack ran over to Darren, he was still
alive and regaining consciousness.
Gibbs
ran up to Jack and said "Captain Jessie's missing!"
That
brought Darren around pretty quick he was soon sitting straight up
even though it was costing him a horrible headache, "WHAT?! WHAT
HAPPENED?!" Jack gave him the reader's digest version of the
tale. Darren sat there for a while holding his head in his hands, all
he could think was, 'I finally got her back, now she's gone, and
it's all my fault!' He was close to tears but he couldn't cry in
front of the crew so he decided to do something that would have more
effect, he got up and started shouting orders. "WHAT ARE WE
WAITING FOR?! THEY'VE GOT ENOUGH OF A HEAD START LET'S GO WE GOTTA
SAVE JESSIE! NOW! MOVE IT! GO!"
No
one argued with him, he was looked pretty scary when he was angry,
and even thought he was the youngest member of the crew he had
inherited his father's swordsmanship and was stronger than any 16
year old boy in the Caribbean.
He
stood at the head of the ship and looked out over the water,
somewhere out there was Jessie and he would get her back if it was
the last thing he did.
