Jack glanced at Will, remembering how oh so often people forgot that part. He glanced at Adam then. The boy resembled his father.
Behind Adam, in the door stood a young girl about the age of fourteen. She had reddish-brown hair, brown eyes, and was about the same height as Adam. Her hair was parted in the center and tied down into ribbons, just below her chest. She dressed like Elizabeth. She always had the latest fashion. It bugged Jack that she had the attitude of perfection but the social rank of a pirate, which she was. She was Anna Maria's niece. She knew everything, like an open book, but nothing about the art piracy. Sometimes she would stand behind Jack while he stood ready at the wheel and watch his every move trying to examine the way he did things and memorize them.
"Ahem." She tried to draw attention to herself. She captured their glances. She was really trying to get Jack's attention. He looked at her with the look of "huh?" "Anna Maria wants to know if your ready to set sail." She questioned.
Jack looked around at Will, Elizabeth and Adam, then back to the girl. " Tell her to have everything ready to set sail. I'll be out in a minute. Thank you Lani."
She nodded politely as a servant would and walked out solemnly. Her mother had named her Lani. That was one of the few things she had left from her mother and father. They both were killed for piracy in Spain when she was three. That's when her Aunt Anna Maria took her in. Her necklace and stories her aunt told her were all she had left of them.
She walked over to Anna Maria who was shouting orders once again and calling everyone in sight a ninny. " Aunt Anna, he said to prepare for undocking and he'll be out in a minute."
" Thank you. Now run along. If you must, ask Jack for a book., when you have nothing else to do."
"CAPTAIN Jack." A voice said from behind.
"Sure. Captain wouldn't be a captain if it weren't…" She trailed off and mumbled to herself while unwinding ropes.
Lani turned around to confront Rilla.
Rilla was a girl slightly shorter than Lani. She had light brown hair and brown eyes. She looked more like a pirate than Lani. She wore a worn out petty coat like Jack's, but hers had designs so as for a girl. She had on black boots with her worn black pants, which were loose on her, tucked inside. Her shirt was frilled down to where it was tucked into her pants. Around her open petty coat she had her belt, and tucked inside was her sword. Her hair had different layers of lengths and was let down. It was slightly wavy. She had been onboard the Pearl since the youthful age of five. Her parents were servants to the king and queen of France. She was considered a nuisance in the palace, so when her parents died of fever when she was one, she and her older brother ,Rapheale, were forced onto the streets.
One day, she was separated from her brother while they were sitting outside a building, they were starving. He was only three. A man was walking towards them and her brother ran hoping she would follow. The man seeing an object scamper, looked down at the little girl and picked her up. She appeared to be almost skin and bones, and came off as homeless. He looked around to find an adult to whom this child might possibly belong. Then he realized he was the only one on the streets this early, other than a occasional passing buggy. He comforted the frustrated little one and took her to his ship. The man turned out to be Jack Sparrow, the ship was the Pearl, and the girl would be known as Rilla since she could not know or remember her own name at such a young age. She had not seen or heard from her brother since.
" I take it we're leaving soon, aye Lani?"
"Yes. CAPTAIN Jack is discussing with the Turners, I believe." Lani replied.
Just then Jack walked out of his cabin followed by the Turners. He then took his place at the wheel to begin their voyage. Crew members began raising the sails while Lani and Rilla headed below deck. Anna Maria helped to untie the ropes from the dock. Jack still at the wheel noticed a dark blue, royally outfitted man walk towards the docking area. Then Jack waved his hat to Commodore Norington. Who then waved his hat back, afterwards noticing that Will and Elizabeth were on board. And called Gilette to his side. Gilette then walked off as Norington nodded with a sneaky smile, and strode off as well.
The Black Pearl began casting off. It was a beautiful day already.
Below deck there were rooms behind the brig. There were 6, and they were small. Anna aria, Lani and Rilla were the only women so therefore, shared a room. The other five rooms went two men to a cabin.
Rilla and Lani walked into their room. Lani pulled out a book from a pile of books Rilla stole from Jack for her. He'd never notice anyways. Rilla sat down to realize that she had something in her pocket. Lani saw her quickly run out of the room.
Jack saw Rilla coming towards him in a bit of a hurry with an odd look.
"You might need this Uncle Jack." She reached into her pocket and pulled out Jack's compass.
"Thank you Rilla. Although I should be curious to as how you got it, I'm glad you have returned it." He replied." Should you borrow it again, I would be overwhelmed if you returned it to me." He smiled in a friendly way at her.
Rilla walked across the deck and down below deck.
