Jack stood on the deck of the ship. It would be hard to miss, which made
Jack a bit doubtful. After all, Maud was most likely watching for Jack. If
she saw the ship, well, she could easily slip away. The Black Pearl was the
fastest ship on all of the seas...wasn't it?
Yes, Jack was sure of it, never before had it let him down. Never had it been captured by some navy, and it never let another ship get away. The ship was his love, not his only love, but pretty high up. That was why Jack was going after it, he loved it. Also because Maud had Will, Elizabeth and his crew.
He also... loved them? Sure, why not? He loved them. Although they had once before left Jack behind along with Will and Elizabeth. But that was the rules after all; any man that falls behind stays behind. Jack, sort of fell behind, but he was getting treasure. There should be a new rule that sticks to the old one, in less the captain found some gold. Jack felt a grin on his face; he just had to get the gold bracelets, pearl necklaces, crown, and everything. In argument though, he was a pirate, obsessed with treasure. So even if he tried, he wouldn't be able to look past the gold. No, that'd be a crime against nature, well, his nature.
Again his eyes flickered down to the compass which was pointing Southwest. Jack gave the wheel a turn to the left then looked at the wheel. This wheel was not what he was use to. It wasn't his own. Yes, a wheel is a wheel. But when you grow accustomed to one, the next...just isn't the same. Gingerly he ran his fingers around the outside of the wheel then looked over his shoulder to Nathan who was playing some sort of hand and yarn game with Camille. "Very navy like, Nathan!" He called and Nathan just grinned and continued on with the game.
With a smile Camille looked up to Jack also. Pure delight was on her face, constantly she was smiling and her beautiful green eyes twinkling. Her long thick brown hair had a few carmel streaks in it from the sun. Also it was crossed with wild frizz from the air, but it only made her seem more...adorable. The first week or so on the ship (back on the pearl) her cheeks, face, neck, well just every part of her body that was shown would be sun burned. Now though, her skin must've gotten use to the sun, she'd no longer be sun-burned, but tanned. And Jack was glad, because when she was sun-burned, she'd be absolutely miserable. Camille smiled and blew Jack a kiss before looking back to Nathan, listening to him.
Jack smiled to himself, he now had no problem admitting to himself that he very much cared for her, the most important thing to him. His ship was second. Or maybe treasure was, well his treasure was his ship. So...Yes, Camille was the most important and his ship was the second. Or maybe his friends were, then his crew, then his ship? Well, his friends, ship, and crew were all close together.
His eyes stared out at the open ocean in front of him. He turned the wheel again, straightening the ship out. They had let Jack steer, or, well, were forced into letting him. "You do want to find Maud, don't you? Well, I've got the compass to find her, so in less you've got a better way to catch her, I'll be the captain of this ship." Was his statement, and they doubtfully agreed. They were eight others, not counting Nathan. A perfect number.
A member walked next to Jack, "Sir?"
Jack looked at him,he had light brown hair and hazel eyes. His eye's flickered to his boots, and he wrinkled his nose. They didn't look too comfortable, but they were very polished. "Nice uniform." Heartily Jack laugh, "What's your name sailor? Or what ever your called..."
"Anthony Robinson." He looked at Jack, waiting to continue.
He nodded, "Good name. So, what did you need?"
Anthony paused, "Well..." He hesitated, "I know Maud."
Jack quirked his brows, "Doesn't everyone on this ship?"
He swallowed hard, "Yes...But I know her better then the others..."
"How's that?" Jack asked, glancing to the compass then to the ocean ahead before focusing on Anthony again.
"Before she stole our first ship, she... and I were... courting. She was quite sweet, but I suspected she was only up to something."
"Of course she was!" Jack said, "Get close to you, a member in the navy, so she could steal a ship."
Anthony seemed a bit hurt by this, "I know, I knew... Really I did, but I didn't care. She said she loved me more then anything, and I loved her more then life itself. I mean, deep down I knew she was up to something, but I tried to push it to the side. Like, if I ignored it, it would go away..."
Jack cleared his throat, "Yes... I understand, but-"
"I couldn't personally get her only to bring her to her own hanging." He said worriedly, He was now wringing his hands together.
"There's something more important, isn't there?" Jack asked, staring at him.
"Yes... She can't –" He stopped, staring at something in the far distance, against the setting sun.
Jack followed his gaze and stared at it for a moment, "THAT'S MY SHIP!" Staring at it, he realized it was off the edge of an island, stopped. Another smaller ship was next to it. Jack squinted for a moment, "She's stealing from another ship, on my ship!"
Yes, Jack was sure of it, never before had it let him down. Never had it been captured by some navy, and it never let another ship get away. The ship was his love, not his only love, but pretty high up. That was why Jack was going after it, he loved it. Also because Maud had Will, Elizabeth and his crew.
