Disclaimer: I want to give you a few words of truth, I DON'T OWN THIS! (he
he) That was kind of fun....
Hey.....*looks sad* I have only gotten 4 reviews on this story. Is it really that bad? *sniffle* I hope not...please, please, please review this! Even if you feel you must flame! (When I tell you to flame you know that I am desperate) Did you know "Tortuga" means turtle in Spanish? Ha ha....that's funny..... ********
On that first day I was introduced and, somewhat, accepted as a member of the crew as I was introduced to Anna-Maria, Mr. Gibbs and Mr. Cotton, The only crew members who had remained faithful to him.
"What's your name luv?" persisted Captain Jack.
"Erin," I squeaked.
"Well, I am Captain Jack Sparrow, and you are a bored the black Pearl," said Jack, "What do you know about sailing?"
"No," I said bluntly.
He shrugged, "Always time to learn, see that? It's called the mast."
"I know everything about how ships are put together! I just can't sail!" I yelled angrily.
"Sorry, luv. I was only trying to be helpful," said Jack.
"Unlikely," I heard Anna-Maria mutter.
I regained myself control, "Sorry, I've never been on a ship before."
"I see," said Jack, he gave me an odd look, "Well, Gibbs and Anna-maria can teach you all you need to know. I'm going back to the helm." And then they started to give me chores to do, there were a million things that needed to be done. Things like washing the deck, doing dishes, mending sails, that sort of thing. It wasn't exactly what I'd had in mind and my dress kept catching on all manner of things. By the end of the day I was dead tiered and reeked of sea water and sweat. I just flopped down on an empty bunk and fell asleep.
A few days later I saw that we were nearing shore again....well, sort of. It was actually a cave.
"Are we going in there?" I asked, really it was a rhetorical question but I got an answer anyway.
"Why? Scared?" jeered Anna-Maria.
"No!" I snapped.
"Jack thought that we might pick up a few things here," said Anna-Maria, her hat made a faint flopping sound in the breeze. Abruptly she looked at me then said, "I've got something for you." She led me down the below deck and she continued talking, "You know I'm not doing this for you...I'm only doing it because it's orders." She opened a chest and pulled out a pair of loose brown pants (the cool piratey kind that everyone wears in POTC) and a loose white shirt.
I gave her a curious look. "Jack said he'd pay me," muttered Anna-Maria.
"Oh," I replied. Then I put the clothes on and found that they went well with my riding boots and light blond hair. ( *scowls* no I really don't have blond hair...does that really matter?)
When I got back up top Mr. Gibbs approached me, "You're to go ashore with Anna-Maria and Jack."
"Alright," I said, then the three of us got into a small dingy and rowed ashore...err....well...into the cave I guess.
"Now luv, we're just here to get a few things. If you see anything that you want just ask before you take," said Jack as he rowed the boat into the cave, "Oh, and don't open any chests or boxes, savey?'
"Alright," I said again, that seemed to be the word of the day. We walked a little ways through a tunnel then into a huge cavern full of shiny jewels! (Giggles, I love shiny stuff) I think that my mouth hung open for a moment or two at the sight of all those riches.
Jack and Anna-Maria started to dig through the mounds of treasure so I figured that it was okay to look around. After digging through three of the giant piles I had found only one thing I wanted, and strangely enough it was a blue headscarf. (Don't ask)
"Captain Sparrow?" I called from behind him.
"What luv?" he said as he tossed a silver chalice behind him, I just got out of the way.
"Can I have this?" I held up the piece of cloth.
"'Course. Though I don't see why you'd want it," he said.
"Why?" Then I though that maybe he had killed whoever's grimy head it had last sat atop.
"A pretty girl like you doesn't need somethin' like that," Anna-Maria jabbed him in the side. He muttered something then picked up an object off the floor that was lying next to a lumpy brown bag.
"Can you fence?" he asked.
"No," I replied.
He tossed me a sword in a sheath with a ling brown piece of cloth hanging from the hilt, "You'll learn."
Then we went back to pearl and sailed from that cave. I ate a quick supper of dry bread and water then mopped the cabin. After that I fell asleep clutching my sheathed sword.
*******
Okay...still in the boring part but in the next episode there will be some bashing of Anna-Maria and *gasp* someone will die! So hit the little bluish button and REVIEW IT!
