Chapter 10:
"Why 'ello, Sparrow."
Jack slowly turned his head and found two weather-beaten looking pirates grinning evilly at him, no doubt members of Barbossa's new crew. One of them was holding his sword to Jack's throat, and the other held a pistol.
"I could say the same to you," replied Jack in a completely unfazed voice. "But I don't even know who ye are."
The thin, stocky pirate holding the sword spoke. "Tha's none o' your business, Sparrow. We gots orders from Barbossa to hold ye hostage, and the like."
Jack raised an eyebrow. "But we haven't even seen a ship in two days. Don't tell me you rowed here?"
The other, rather ugly pirate holding the pistol grinned, revealing slightly rotted teeth. "As o' matter o' fact, we did. 'Don't cause a scene,' he told us, 'Just get the whelp and row back.'
The pirate with the sword pushed Jack towards the now open window, which was obviously how the two of them had gotten into his cabin. He had been too wrapped up in his thoughts to notice. He cursed himself silently.
The ugly pirate with the pistol leaned out the porthole and looked up towards the deck, checking to see if anyone was watching. When the coast was clear, he started to climb down to a small rowboat tied up to the side of the ship, waiting for them.
Once he was in, the stocky pirate gave Jack a little poke in the back with the tip of his sword.
"I'm goin', I'm goin' . . ." Jack mumbled as he too climbed down to the rowboat. The pirate with the pistol bound his hands as his comrade followed. They cast off and discreetly rowed away from the Pearl.
'Great,' thought Jack as his beloved ship grew fainter in the distance. 'Now I'm taken hostage. This is just my day, isn't it? I just hope Will and the rest don't do anything stupid . . . like follow me and fall into Barbossa's trap.'
* * *
"Oy! Turner!" Anna-Maria shouted from the helm. Will, on the lower deck, looked up.
"What is it?"
"Where's the bloody captain? I've got other work to do, you know!"
"Hold on, I'll get him," Will replied as he headed towards Jack's cabin.
When he came to the door, he knocked. There was no reply.
"Jack?" asked Will uncertainly. Still no answer. He turned the doorknob and entered, looking around.
There was no sign of Jack, though Will had distinctly seen him come in here not too long ago . . . He walked to the open window and looked out, but all he could see was the glittering waves shining in the late afternoon sun.
'Hmm . . . That's odd . . ." Will thought curiously. 'I could've sworn he came in here . . .' He turned and walked out of the cabin, coming back on deck.
"I don't know where he is," Will confessed to the female pirate. She cursed audibly.
Gibbs came up next to him with a frown. "Aye, he isn't below deck, either."
"Well then where is he?!" Anna-Maria asked exasperatedly. Norrington came to see what the shouting was about.
"What, Sparrow's gone missing?" He had no sign of worry on his features.
Elizabeth, now on deck, gasped. Everyone turned to her.
"You don't suppose . . . Barbossa?" she asked quietly.
Their faces fell.
* * *
It was night by the time Jack and the two pirates reached a slightly small-sized ship, drifting lazily in the water, bobbing with its movements.
They rowed over to it and climbed on board. The two ugly blokes threw Jack down on the deck, landing on his knees.
When he looked up he saw a sight that he had once thought he would never see again:
Barbossa.
A/N: Haha! Another chapter! And would this be considered a cliff? *thinks hard* Ah, who am I kiddin'? 'Course it is! *looks around nervously for any throwing of rocks or tomatoes* Ok, good! *gets hit in the head with a bean* OY! WHO THREW THAT?!
