Chapter Eight - The comming of the Deep Sea
Daisy peered ahead of them. They were nearly back to the Pearl now. Will the rest of the crew circled Daisy and Jack cutlasses out and ready for any soldier whom might be following. As the crew of the Black Pearl approached their beloved ship a feeling of great achievement swept through all of them. Once again they had managed to escape the evil navy dudes and rescue Jack. For it was not the first time that Jack had been in trouble before and needed rescuing. Finally they came to a halt in front of the ship. "We're home" Daisy whispered into Jack's ear. Jack smiled.
Rach and the rest of the crew jumped on board. Daisy went down below deck with Nikki to take care of Jack's wounds and injuries. Meanwhile Tiff took up her position up in the crows nest and Becky took the wheel as they wayed anchor...and set sail in silence...not to be heard or seen by any Spaniards of the island. Rach looked out towards sea....they had done it - they had rescued Jack without being caught-....There was a thud and a scramble....Rach spun round - that wasn't coming from below deck...it was on deck. "Becky?? Did u hear that!?" Becky shrugged, "No....what- "..."Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Rach jumped to the other side of the ship, "You Spaniard guard! You'll gets what coming to you!" A man appeared from the shadows of the sails...a cutlass in hand, he looked rather concerned to there surprise, "No....no! I'm not a guard!....i'm not here to harm anyone"
Daisy, meanwhile, was still below tending to Jack when she suddenly heard the scramble up on deck. She looked back to Jack, who was wincing in pain as Nikki stabbed and poked him with random instruments. She patted him on the head like a small child and was gone. She ran up to the deck at full speed while drawing her cutlass and pistol. The bright sunlight hit her eyes causing her to squint for a second. She drew her pistol and pointed it in the vague direction of where the noise was coming from. Her eyes finally adjusted to the light and she realised she was pointing her pistol at Rach. "oops" she muttered and pointed it to the man who was clambering onboard her precious ship.
Rach raised her hands towards the pointing gun in shock....then gasped as Daisy turned it towards the man, "No!!!....Daisy don't shoot! he isn't one of them!" Rach ran out in front of Daisy's line of shot, and sighed as shut lowered her gun. Daisy still pulled a face as thought she wanted to know exactly why he was on her ship....well Jack's also. Rach turned back to face the man who had now put his cutlass away, "Who are you?" The man walked over to her and Daisy, Becky cowered behind the wheel, "Mr Edwards 'Deep sea'" Daisy gave him an odd look, "Mr Edwards eh?"....He smiled..."Don't forget...'Deep sea'"
Daisy was silent for a moment and then finally said "Well i don't see you ship Mr Edwards meaning you must be a Spaniard meaning that you must want to kill us all." Mr Edwards 'Deep sea" was quiet for a moment while he worked out what she was saying and wanted to add in "You forgot 'Deep sea" but decided to stay quiet about it. "Aye well i was one of them but im not anymore" he said thinking that this would be enough. "OH your not anymore eh?" said Daisy sarcastically, "well what are you now then...spy" she whispered at the end. Daisy shot a glance at Rach and then at Becky who was still cowering, "oh for god sake woman pull yourself together!" Becky came out from behind the wheel trembling from head to foot. "Well" continued Mr Edwards 'Deep sea, "I've had enough of treating decent men like animals so i want to be a pirate. I sneaked food into Jack's cell a few times because i couldn't bear to see such an infamous pirate suffer." That was enough for Daisy. She usually had a good sense as to whether people were lying or not.
Daisy tossed out her hand and said "Welcome onboard the Black Pearl"
Rach turned to Daisy quickly before she headed back below deck, "Shall i give the order capn'?" Daisy nodded then showed Mr Edwards 'Deep sea' down below deck. As their voices grew dimmer, Rach turned back round to the rest of the crew who had huddled on deck to see what all the commotion was about and called, "Back to your posts everyone! And hurry up about it....you don't want them Spaniards after us do you?!" Becky went back to the wheel and the others scurried off to check the sail guide ropes...and then casually wonder off to their cabins. Rach stayed on deck for a while...it was a warm night and she wanted to make the most of the fresh salty air. As early morning approached, Becky became restless and Rach said she would take over the wheel for her while she got some rest. She lent her check on her hand, and gazed into the harrison....they were heading for home...Tortuga.
