Cameron made her way up onto the deck of the Pearl. She quickly found her
dad and made her way over to him seeing that he was at the wheel of the
ship.
"Where are we headed?" She asked.
Jack looked over at her, his face emotionless. "We're goin back to Tortuga for a few days."
'Oh great! That's the last place I want to be heading right now.' He knew just how to irritate her. She didn't want to have to deal with the drunks there. They were always all over her even if Captain Jack Sparrow warned them. She would probably just stay on the ship this time around.
Jack watched the emotions play across his daughters face. "I thought ye liked goin ta Tortuga." He laughed.
"I did, but I'm just not up to it now."
"You did? Staying on that damn military ship must have caused ye some brain damage or somethin, luv."
"What would you think if I said I didn't want to leave that ship, huh? It wasn't necessary for you to just drag me away with out listening to me." She almost screamed at him.
Jack looked at her surprised. "Whata ya mean, luv?"
"You never listen to me anymore, dad. Its like I don't even exist to you anymore."
"I came and rescued ye didn't I?" He yelled at her.
"Yeah well maybe I didn't want to be rescued. Maybe I liked where I was."
Jack grew silent as he glanced into her eyes. He saw what had once caught him in its familiar trap. "Don't tell me ye've fallen in love, Cammie." He almost whispered knowing that they had caught the crew's attention.
Cameron frowned. How could he see that? He's never noticed such emotions before. She was speechless as she stood glaring at him.
"You're a damn pirate Cameron. Pirates don't fall in love." He growled through clinched teeth.
"And what about you and mom, huh? Was staying with her for a good five years just some joke or a game. Please humor me, because I would really like to know." She screamed at him. This time the crew was all ears. They listened silently as the two argued.
"Ye know nothing about that situation."
"I know enough to say that you loved her and you still do." She stepped back when she saw his eyes turn an even darker brown.
"She's dead Cameron! She's in the past. Why do keep bringin that up?"
"Because you never had enough time to tell me what happened. Just like now, you don't have enough time to talk about anything with me anymore. It's like we were never a family."
"A family? Yer right we were never a family and I'd like to keep it that way." He screamed at her. Jack immediately regretted the words that came out of his mouth as he looked away from Cameron.
Cameron grew silent as she listened to the words that just came out of her own dad's mouth. She could almost feel the tears that were pricking at the back of her eyelids.
"So it really is true. You never wanted me; I'm just some stupid girl that cramps your style. You only tolerated me because of mom, right?" Cameron could feel her knees growing weak. She held onto the railing of the ship to regain her balance.
"It's not like that." Jack said softly.
"Then what is it?" She yelled. "What have I done that was so bad that you could treat me like this? What did I do wrong? I have always been loyal to you, have I not?"
Jack nodded his head slightly not wanting to see the hurt and betrayal that was now clouding his daughter's eyes. There was a long pause before Cameron talked again.
"When we reach Tortuga.leave me behind. I don't want to be on this ship any longer." She started walking down the steps when Jack stopped her.
"I will not leave ye alone."
Cameron pulled her arm out of his grasp. "Since when do you give a shit what happens to me? I'll be fine on my own." She shot daggers at him with her eyes before walking back to her cabin. It wouldn't be long till they reached Tortuga and she was eager to get away from her dad and this bloody ship. She got out her small bag and started throwing her few belongings into it. She was going to leave and never come back, hopefully.
"Where are we headed?" She asked.
Jack looked over at her, his face emotionless. "We're goin back to Tortuga for a few days."
