Sapphire was being lead up the stairs into another room where she
was put into a chair. She had only her nightgown on and nothing else, she
felt a little uncomfortable.
"The captain will be with you in a moment." A pirate smiled closing the door. Alone with a pirate captain, for some reason this was not sitting well with Sapphire, her stomach felt as though it was gone. She looked around the room. It was indeed need of a good cleaning. Dirt covered the floor and the fabric that used to be curtains were torn. One good thing was that there were enough candles lit to light the room. Suddenly a hand appeared on her shoulder making her jump, but her eyes remained forward.
"What's a pretty thing like you doin' here?" A voice bellowed, but Sapphire remained silent. The person moved in her path of sight and went to meet her eyes. "Your defiantly your father's child." The man was bald under the big brimmed hat, his teeth rotten, and had one scare in a shape of a snake on his cheek. "Your name Sapphire Turner, no doubt." She nodded. "Well Miss Turner your not as talkative as your mother, I'll give you that, but you be havin' somthin' I want, so best be handed it over." He held out his dirty hand.
"Why am I here?" Sapphire blurted out. The pirate took his hand back and smiled.
"Cause you be havin' somethin' I be wantin'." Again he held his hand out.
"Why do you want it?" She asked.
"That's somethin' for me and my crew to know, and you just better yourself by handin the necklace over and get off me ship." He sighed.
"What is your name?" Sapphire asked another question.
"Are you goin' to keep askin' questions missy?" He seemed aggravated with her.
"I can keep going if you don't answer them to my liking." She smiled.
"Your worse than you're mother, girly." The pirate had a fond note in his voice, but it soon changed. "Alright, I be Captain Snake." He tipped his hat to her. "And I need that necklace."
"What necklace, Captain Snake?" Sapphire smiled innocently.
"The necklace that your father gave to you!" Snake roared, only provoking a smile, and he stood up strait.
"Oh, you mean this necklace." Sapphire took out the necklace that she had in her pocket, and walked over to a window. She turned to him. "Why should I give you this necklace?"
"You're trying my patients, missy." His lip quivered with anger and his starred turned into a glare.
"Answer, my question Mr. Snake." Sapphire glared back, but it was the wrong thing to say. Snake soon had her up against a wall, with his dagger at her neck. "Filthy pirate!"
"I wouldn't be talkin' if I were you, Ms. Turner." He seemed satisfied with himself for doing this. "Now be a good little pirates' daughter and hand over the necklace." Her breathing was angry and rapid, and she felt the coldness of the blade of the dagger. She picked up the hand with the necklace in it and smiled, throwing it across the room making it hit a wall. The captain smiled and stabbed the side of her stomach, making her crumple to the floor. Sapphire starred at where the necklace had dropped, laying on the floor was a piece of folded paper and an open necklace. Snake picked up both, in one hand the necklace that had become a locket and a piece of paper. Turning to her he smiled and said, "Thanks love now I don't have to go through the trouble of finding out how to get the map out of there." Suddenly she felt herself being picked up. The pain was excruciating, that she pasted out.
Sapphire woke in the same way she had woken the first time on the ship. She tried to get up but she remembered the pain in her side.
"Not a smart idea doin that, Sapphire." Elizabeth smiled softly. "Don't worry the wound isn't too deep that it hit anything important."
"I should've just given it to him when he first asked." Sapphire sighed, and noticed she was still bleeding a bit.
"He would've still stabbed you." Elizabeth sighed the same as her daughter.
"Why?" She said harshly.
"Because he's a pirate." Elizabeth sighed again.
"That's not a good enough reason!" Sapphire tried to get up again, but cried out in pain and went back down on her mother's lap.
"Perhaps you should refrain from trying to get up." Elizabeth raised a brow. Sapphire nodded and they sat in silence for a few moments. "Sapphire, before you were kidnapped how your father and brother?"
"You mean Will and that boy Timothy?" Sapphire questioned and Elizabeth nodded worriedly. "They seemed fine, but a little worried at the same time, although I didn't see the boy much."
"He's not a boy." Elizabeth smiled.
"I suppose, but he acts like one." Sapphire sighed, and again they went into silence. "Will seems nice, but I don't know about that Jack man." Elizabeth gave a small quiet laugh.
"Yes, Jack is a bit strange to say the least." She nodded.
"The very least." Sapphire nodded along with her. "Why do they want the necklace so bad and that piece of paper that was in it?" Elizabeth gave Sapphire a shocked look, as if trying to say, "how did you know that?" but again an opening of the doors interrupted them.
"Come on love." A pirate sneered.
"She can't go." Elizabeth said harshly.
"Well, she has to." He smiled, "She has a meeting with Davy Jones."
"No!" Elizabeth whispered, as he came in and picked Sapphire up, and she winced at the pain. He helped her through the barred doors. Behind her she could hear Elizabeth yell, "NO!" but they were pirates and pirates don't heed the orders of prisoners Sapphire was pushed up on deck where a ship in the distance that was burning could be visible. She gasped almost forgetting the pain that made her slouched. Wreckage could be seen everywhere, and the smell of fire was in the air.
"Ah Ms. Turner glad you could join us!" Sapphire was forced to turn to see Snake. She glared at him. "Flames are excitin' don't you think, maybe you could get a better view up close." He smiled, as the pirate behind her picked her up and began to carry her to the side of the burning ship.
"No!" Sapphire screamed, as he held her over the side.
"You sound just like your mum." Snake nodded at the pirate, and the pirate threw Sapphire over broad. She held her breath as she hit the water. Sapphire surfaced and looked up at the pirates. They were laughing and jeering at her. Sapphire had fallen from the rocks enough times to learn to swim back to shore, but this time there wasn't a shore, and her side started to keel over with pain. Swimming through the pain Sapphire spotted a wall of wood floating on the sea's surface. It must've taken more than twenty minutes to get to the wood, because the ship was already a distance away. Sapphire painted on the wooden frame. Her limbs ached, and her side was beginning to let her fall into a deep sleep again. Darkness took over her, and she pasted out on the wooden frame.
"The captain will be with you in a moment." A pirate smiled closing the door. Alone with a pirate captain, for some reason this was not sitting well with Sapphire, her stomach felt as though it was gone. She looked around the room. It was indeed need of a good cleaning.
