Chapter 6 : The Cussers'
Everyone turned towards the low-hanging door... It wasn't the fact that a group of pirates had found their way to the tavern that made everyone startle. I mean, they were in Tortuga, for heavens' sake... what do you expect, faeries and elves? It was more of them being a full two heads higher than anyone else in the room, something that most people didn't appreciate... Especially considering they looked greatly like...
"The Cussers', God save us, the Cussers' 'ave cum..." Cries were raised from the corner of the tavern, causing everyone to stare even closer at the three giants.
(Jack) "Blimey, 'e's right," someone else yelled. By now the whole of "The Red Lion" was in uproar. Tables went flying as everyone pushed to get as far away from them as possible. In seconds the up till then dirty floor was practically littered with food and, to Jack's disgust, drink. Fancy being scared enough to send your rum flying!! Cowards!
They weren't even scary, these freaks - just a bit taller than an average human... Well, quite a lot taller in fact. Maybe he was underestimating them... Their heads were skimming the ceiling. Actually, this was a serious problem if they had, like Anamaria had said, indeed come to get himself. He could be in a bit of trouble.
He shifted under Fen's weight.
"Which one of you cowardly brats is the Sparrow?" One of the Cussers' grabbed the nearest drunkard he found by the collar - the, well, girl, formerly attached to his neck scurried away, whimpering - and sent him flying into the wall. He crashed to the floor, neck cracking.
What had Jack been talking about, a bit of trouble?! This was serious!
Anamaria obviously thought so as well, for she snatched Jack's hand and yanked him towards the back door. Fen nearly went flying off onto Carla's lap. Jack smirked as he followed his crew member, Fen really was going to kill him when this was finished. If he ever knew what happened, that is.
They ran into the fresh air, leaving the banging and disorder behind them.
"The Pearl is just round here, Captain." Anamaria panted. They both willed their legs to run faster - who knew when the Cussers' would realise they were no longer there?
The Black Pearl appeared into view. Gibbs, an ageing sea farer was busy talking to a gangly young boy by the name of Kestrel. They reached the port and mounted the gangway in three large bounds.
Gibbs turned away from his avid conversation with the crew member. He sighed with relief when he saw Jack on the deck.
"We've got trouble, Cap'n."
"Anamaria 'ere 'as already informed me of it. How about we set fer Port Royal? I suppose Elisabeth is still waiting fer us?!"
"Well, she doesn't have much of a choice, seeing as Will's, mmm, well, you know..."
"Ah, I see..." Jack answered, cringing.
"And who's the lass then?" He asked, looking at Fen for the first time.
"The lass? Ahhh... Fen... It's a boy actually, bit of a eunuch though..." He nodded suggestively towards the limp body over his shoulder.
"Oh.... 'T'ain't wise teh keep 'im hangin' in mid air like that, I'd..."
"Glad teh know I'm not the only one with good ideas around 'ere. No one's bin in me cabin, 'ave they?" Jack interrupted, sensing a superstition lesson coming on.
"'Course not, Cap'n..." Gibbs answered suspiciously, wondering why the Captain would give his cabin up to a young lad like Fen, maybe he was... Nah, he'd seen him with a thousand girls... Must just be an important guest, or hostage. He'd have to ask Jack about it later, now was not the moment. Not with the Cussers' on their neck. Gibbs shivered and made to the helm, watching Jack's retreating figure, as he sauntered off to his cabin, his step even weirder because of the weight adjustment. Anamaria walked over to Gibbs.
"What do you think of it all then?" She asked him. "I don't know, I don't know one bit..."

I know, it's short... but at least I updated quickly... you should always look on the good side!!
etheriums angel : Aww... me?! Throw in suspense... I'd not no how... And I beg ye pardon, dear friend, but Jack really was engaged... Next time I see him I'll try to get him to sail over to you though, if you'd like it... *smiles apogetically, but with twinkling eyes*
DaydreamBeliever14 : Aye... beautiful view... Jack would have probably been beheaded though... I don't think her patience and acceptance extends that far... *grins mischeviously*
Thanks for your reviews!! Anymore would be more than appreciated... (that is definitely a hint...!)
And it continues...!
