Chapter 6
Slow Brains Carry Thorough Information
"Meline," called Jack, knocking on a door in the ship. "Are you awake?"
"Yes!" Shouted Meline through the door. "Just a minute!"
Jack waited outside the door. He could hear Meline walking around.
Could hear her braces, more like. Jack sighed. If, as was likely, they were being followed, Meline's limited mobility was going to hinder her chances of survival.
The moment he had seen Will carrying her up the dock, Jack had realized just how dangerous this trip was going to be.
The door opened. On the threshold stood Meline, dressed in pants and a button up shirt; her hair pulled back in a ponytail, like her father's. But, Jack noticed, there was a hole in the material on her left leg.
"Oh, that," said Meline, noticing where Jack was looking. "That piece of metal kept getting hung on my pant leg, so I tore a hole in it to keep it from getting caught on anything."
Jack smiled. "You're as good a problem solver as yer father, lass," he said, and Meline blushed scarlet. "Now," he continued, "I noticed when you came aboard yesterday; you were surprised that yer parents weren't coming with us. So, I figured that Will might not have told you everything-"
"Everything?!" Shouted Meline, slowly walking into her small room and sitting on a chair. "He didn't tell me anything. Well, he tried, but those pirates came before he could say anything."
"Which is why I'm gonna tell you everythin' now, luv," said Jack, making his way into the room and sitting on the bed opposite of Meline.
"Good," she said, putting her hands on her knees and staring at Jack expectantly.
Jack opened his mouth, and then paused, thinking. This girl didn't know nothing. About anything.
He sighed. "I had hoped your father would have at least laid out the basics for ya. Well, since he wasn't kind enough to do it, I will."
Jack told her about Cortes' treasure. About Barbossa, and everything else that had happened fifteen years earlier.
At this point, he paused to look at Meline. Her eyes were wide, her mouth was slightly open in shock. What was more, she was tracing an imaginary line on her hand. And there was no doubt in Jack's drunken mind that she was thinking about Will's cut and wondering why he had never told her.
But that wasn't a matter to be discussed now. There were more important things to talk about.
Jack kneeled in front of her and took her hand in his.
"I know it's hard to take all of this in, but I really need you t listen carefully now, 'cause this other part is a new addition to the story."
He stood up and started pacing around the room, his head down in concentration.
"Now, after this whole situation was over, something quite unexpected but even more dangerous happened to the governor. He got greedy. He'd heard from yer parents about the treasure contained on Isle du Muertes, and, like any other man, couldn't help himself from wanting it. The only problem was that every sailor in Port Royal now knows of the curse, and the Governor knew that he'd be stupid to think any of them would ever go near that island.
So, while Lizzie and dear William were off on their honeymoon, Governor Swan sent word to his step brother, John Marquez, and told him that he knew of an island with more treasure than a man could dream of.
Now, Marquez and Governor Swan have always had something of a rivalry, about what, I don't know, but Marquez is a pirate, and, therefore, naturally took the Governor and his offer on his ship and towards the island.
"But," cut in Meline suddenly. "You said that only the people who have been to the island know how to get there."
"Yes," said Jack. "And I told you that the Governor was with us when we went there the second time. I also remember telling you to pay attention. So stop interrupting me and listen."
Meline looked momentarily taken aback, but listened as Jack went on. "When they got to Isle du Muertes, they proceeded to loot it for all it was worth. But your grandfather knew enough to stay clear of the cursed treasure. Not Marquez, though. He took all the coins except for one, which he gave to your grandfather.
But, remember, your grandfather wasn't cursed because he himself didn't take out the coin. Might've been better if he had, though," Jack added, before continuing.
"After returning the governor to Port Royal, Marquez went away to spend all of his new gold. Now, things might have been okay at this point, with a bad pirate under an evil curse. But, Marquez is smart. And a smart and angry pirate is a bad combination. He arranged for the governor to be murdered, and the missing coin to be recovered so he can reverse the curse.
But your grandfather knew Marquez would come, and managed to outsmart his brother before he died."
"How?" asked Meline, unable to keep quiet anymore.
Jack sighed.
"He gave the coin to you, mate."
Alright. I'm hoping that I've got your attention now. I know where I'm going with this story, and, believe me, it's going to get interesting fairly soon. Definitely going to be much longer than my last one (which is a good thing, 'cause that thing was really short)
Have fun everyone, and remember, REVIEW if you ever want to see another chapter again.
And if you have any questions concerning the info given in this chapter, just post it and I'll let you know to the best of my ability. Being that I'm the one that wrote this, there might be some things that I left out that keep you from understanding it, that I might have missed when reading through it.
