Okay, I feel like such an ass for not updating in such a long time, and I'm
really, really SORRY!
*cries*
I'm really busy with High School registrations, and homework, and tests, and my cousin's wedding, and . . . . Yeah, that's my excuse, live with it!
Anywho, here's a new chapter for My Misadventure in the Caribbean!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Recap on last chapter:
'Who was that lass that jus' ran by? Seemed in a bit of a hurry, I'd wager, whelp.' My stomach turned inside-out, and I almost missed hearing Will say 'Don't call me whelp! Please!'
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I slid down to sit on the floor with my back against the wall as I heard Will ask Lizzie as she hurried by 'What's wrong with her?' I quickly got up and looked for another door, finding one that led down to the basement, and I thought ~The laundering room! Fwa HA!~ I ran through the door just as Liz was explaining to the guys about me, and practically fell down the stairs, yelling 'Touch my clothes, and you DIE!'
The maid had made it halfway across the laundry room floor when I said that, and she stopped short, dropping my clothes in a heap on the floor. I rushed over, and began turning out the pockets of my pants, saying 'Where are they, where are they, where are th-YAY!' I triumphantly pulled out my deck of playing cards, along with that gold coin that I had found in the cave, picking up my clothes.
I pushed my clothes into the hands of the astonished maid, saying with a smile 'There w go, all better now. Now, toddle off and wash these, will you? I'll need them for tomorrow.' The maid just nodded her head, curtsied, and walked off. I flicked my cards as I walked slowly back up the stairs, and noticed that it was all too quiet when I got to the main floor. Looking in the entrance hall, I found that everyone had gone into the drawing room to talk.
Taking a deep breath, I walked by the open door of the drawing room, and silently peeked in. Jack was sitting with his back to me, and Will and Liz were taking turns saying 'She said she wanted to meet you-' 'And so we brought her here, and I took her upstairs, and -' 'And then I went and got you, and that's when she ran by-' 'Because Karen had taken her clothes down to the laundering room.'
Jack just sat there patiently until I realized that he had fallen asleep, and Liz sighed as she then noticed me. 'Miss Jillian, there you are!' She said as William shook Jack awake, and I said 'Of course I'm here, where else is there to go?' Jack turned around in his chair, saying 'This 'ad better be good, whelp. I was havin' a nice dr-' He stopped mid-sentence as he noticed me, and then got up from his chair, saying with a smile ''ello, lass! Ye must be Miss Jillian, of whom I've heard so much about. Th' name's-' 'Captain Jack Sparrow, commander of the Black Pearl and all those who sail under its flag, I know, I know.' I interrupted, and Jack looked a bit put out, shying away and asking defensively 'Are ye someone I've met and shouldn't meet again? Cuz if ye are, I swear, I'll either get you your money or pay you for your services! Just, please, no more slapping.'
I began to giggle, which progressed into chuckling, laughing, and then silent laughing *that's when you can't breath cuz you're laughing so hard*. I sat down hard on the floor, and managed to gasp out 'That's what I love about you, Jack! You're so funny!' Jack just kinda looked at me funny, and then whispered loudly to Will 'Is she like this all th' time?' Will nodded, answering 'For as long as WE'VE known her.'
I finally calmed down, saying 'Ooh hoo, my ribs, they hurt from laughing so hard!' Jack reached out a hand to help me up, and I took it, adding 'Thanks, Cap'n.' He smirked, saying to Liz and Will 'At least th' lass calls me by me proper title, unlike ye two.' I stuck my tongue out at Will, and clutched to Jack's arm, asking 'Oh, and another thing: May I come with you when you leave Port Royal?'
Jack began to nod his head, until Will and Liz said at the same time 'WHAT?' Jack let go of me and backed up, saying 'No, no woman is comin' on me ship! Besides Anamaria, that is. She'd murder me if she knew I'd said that. . .' I pouted, and walked around Jack, saying 'But why not? I know how to use a sword, kind of, I'll follow orders, I have the courage and fortitude to follow orders and stay true in the face of danger and almost certain death, and. . .I can clean.' Jack had stared at me in astonishment throughout my whole rant, and when I had finished, he turned to Will and Liz, saying 'Save me, please.'
I laughed, and said 'No, seriously. I mean, after the whole Black Pearl predicament and the cursed gold and such, you must be ITCHING to go on another adventure! I'll come with you, then.' Will raised his eyebrows in slight disbelief, and then Lizzie argued 'But they're pirates! If you're not careful, Jack might strand you on some Island, or . . . or murder you in your sleep, or worse! They're PIRATES, Jillian! They're beyond trusting!'
Jack looked indignant at this, and contradicted in an all high-and-mighty voice 'I'll have you know, luv, that I'm a man of me word! I won't do nuthin' of th' sort to Miss Jillian, as long as she keeps up a bargain.' I eyes Jack suspiciously, and asked 'What kind of bargain?' Jack smiled and clapped his hands together, coming around to stand almost nose to nose with me, and then he said quietly 'If ye'll not try to mutiny against me, or try t' kill me in me sleep, then I'll bring ye along.'
Smirking, I replied 'Fine, I'll do what you ask, Captain. Just one more thing: step away from me, or you'll lose something you don't want lost.' Jack looked down, and found that as he had been talking to me, I had taken his dagger, and was holding it close to his . . . well, let's just say he stepped back quickly. Will gave a choked laugh, and Liz snorted behind her hand as I passed the dagger back to Jack.
'Welcome aboard, luv!' he said, and I whooped loudly.
