Chapter 4:Aboard the Pearl.
"William Turner, you will explain exactly what is going on, and why the Black Pearl is here after fourteen years of not being seen at all!!!" Mother yelled as Dad walked in the room.
I sighed, and slumped into a chair. I knew a row was coming.
"Sit up straight, Caroline." Mother shot out to me.
I straightened up. David flashed me a quick grin, and sat down next to me. "Calm down, Elizabeth." Dad said.
"Calm down!?!?!?! Calm down?!?!?!?!?" Mother shrieked, waving her hands around. "Will, how do you expect me to calm down? Who would act calm in a situation like this???"
"Caroline is acting calm." Dad said, quietly but clearly.
"Caroline is acting calm because she has no clue what any of this means!" Mother said shrilly. "And as much as I love her, she not what most would call normal, Will."
"So Caroline is mentally subnormal now, is she?" Dad asked, angrily.
"I never said that, Will!"
I turned to David. "Come on." I whispered, and I tip-toed to the door. He followed. Mother and Dad didn't even realize we were gone.
I lead him out the door and to the short-cut to the dock. Once we were there, we walked up to my father's ship, The Queen Margaret.
"This is your father's ship?" David asked, looking up at it.
"Yes." I answered. It was the fastest ship on the sea, besides The Black Pearl.
"It's nice." David said.
"What do mean 'It's nice.'? It's the best ship the British Navy owns!!!!!" I said.
"The Black Pearl is better." He said. Can't argue there.
"You're right." I said, looking out at it, sulking. I had always wanted to go aboard the Black Pearl.
David seemed to be able to read my mind. "You want to go out for a look?" He asked.
I thought I had heard wrong. 'You mean, go out to The Black Pearl?" I asked, sounding highly intelligent.
David rolled his eyes. "No, we're going to go half way out and turn back." He said, his voice full of sarcasm. "Of course to The Black Pearl!"
"And How are we going to accomplish that?" I asked.
He walked to the end of the pier, and whistled. As though it was waiting for that whistle, The Pearl began to move towards us.
"Wow." I said.
David just laughed.

"It's better than I dreamed it would be!" I exclaimed, once we were onboard.
It was fantastic. The sails were black as midnight.
"David!" I heard a voice call.
"What, Gibbs?" David said, as a man came up from below deck.
"I need you to go up and make sure the rigging is tight."
"Aw, come on, Gibbs, do I have to?" He said.
"I'll do it." I said.
"No, Caroline." David said. "It's too dangerous, you'll." He trailed off. He trailed off because I was already up.
"Caroline, get back down here!" David called up to me.
"You sound like my father!" I yelled back.
"I have a right to!" He shouted up at me.
"It's fine!" I said, as I came back down.
"You want to give me a heart attack or something?" David asked, as Gibbs laughed.
"You be Miss Turner, then?" Gibbs asked me.
"Yes." I said. I would have elaborated, if I hadn't seen what was waiting for me back on shore.
"David, I think we are in trouble." I said.
"What makes you say that?" He asked.
"That." I said, pointing to the shore.
