Sorry it took so long for me to write this chappie. I was busy, and taking
a poll, for that matter. And I would like to apologise to anyone who was
offended by what I said in the Authors note. I'M REALLY REALLY
SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!
Anywho, here's chapter 3 of The Black Rose
************************************************************************
So, we left off with Marie following the dude to find Jack. Okay, now that I have sorted this out, on with the story! *fans cheer* Wow, I have FANS?!?
************************************************************************
I followed the man out of the pub, and into the midday sun. I squinted me eyes a bit, because of the brightness of the sun after being in that low- lit pub.
'Cap'n Jack Sparrow is lookin' fer a strong sailor, and ye look like ye could take 'im on anyday, if ye don' mind me sayin' so, lass.' He said, adding 'Just so ye know, me name be Raykin. I be the quartermaster on the Black Pearl.' I nodded my head, thinking ~ Well, at least I have someone who'll take me serious like. But where's Jack? ~
Raykin rounded a corner, and led me down a dim alley, between the Leaking Keg Pub and another Shoppe. He stopped, and held out a hand to make me halt. Looking around carefully, Raykin pointed out what appeared to be a door that had been cut into the wall. Knocking on it, he said 'A visitor for ye, Cap'n! A lass. She almos' killed to see ye!' The door swung inward, and I stepped into a room lit only by a few lanterns on the ceiling. Without another word, Raykin shut the door, leaving me in the room with Jack, wherever he was.
I was startled by a voice in the corner, but then realized it was Jack. He was still wearing the same cotton shirt from the night prior, and the beads tied to his braids glinted with the reflected light of the lanterns. The pistol was still in the red striped waistband, and the foil still strapped to his waist. Jack's gold teeth shone as he approached me, his leather boots hardly making a sound, surprisingly enough. 'So, another lass who wants to see ol' Jack, eh? Good, I was plannin' on 'avin a little fun before I left Port Royal!' He smirked, and before I knew it, he had snaked an arm around my slim waist. I gave a small gasp, and punched him in the stomach. Jack emitted a low groan, and backed off, finally noticing it was me.
'Ye didn' have to hit so hard, lass! I was jus' havin' a bit o' fun!' he said, rubbing his stomach and wincing. I put a hand on my hip, and said 'Well, Captain, I've come to join your crew. Suck on that.' Jack, smiled, straightened up, and said 'Wonderful! I knew ye coudn' resist me! Well, then, we'll have to find ye summore suitable clothin' than tha' dress.'
He turned back to a small cot in the corner, and knelt down to look under it, pulling out a pile of clothes. Handing them to me, he said 'Here. Put these on, and quickly! I want ta leave afore th' Commodore finds out I'm back 'ere!' I took the clothes, and looked around the room for a screen to change behind.
When I couldn't find one, I turned to Jack, and said angrily 'D'ye honestly expect me to change with ye watchin' me?' He grinned, and said with a flick of his hand, 'Lass, don' worry. I've seen girls without their knickers on bef-' I cut him off with a sharp slap to the face, hissing, 'If ye don' turn away, ye'll be missin' a few assets ye don' want lost, Captain!' He held up a finger, and turned back to face me, rubbing his jaw tenderly.
'Alrigh', lass! Don' get yer knickers in a knot.' He said, and turned to face the wall. Setting down my bag, I unfolded a pair of breeches, a shirt similar to Jack's (but with buttons on the front), and a few effects. I undid my dress, looking over to see that Jack still had his back to me. Quickly, I pulled on the shirt, fixing it so it fit right.* authors note~ Marie is wearing a new style of knickers, a skin tight type to allow for more movement. Buy it on the shopper's network!* I pulled on the breeches, tying them up tight, because they were an extra pair of Jack's. When I looked up, I saw that Jack had turned around already.
'Y'see, tha's the proper attire for a pirate, lass! Now, for yer effects.' Jack said, and he reached under the bed a second time. I furrowed my brow when he drew out a pistol, saying 'I don't like using a pistol much, Captain. I have one, but I can hardly use a blade myself.' Jack nodded, and put the pistol away. I tossed my dress onto the bed, and picked up my sac *authors note~ yes, I do know it's usually spelt 'sack', but for a small sack, it's spelt 'sac'. Just so's ya know. I got a comment about that . . .*
I turned for the door, but Jack caught my arm, ordering 'Wait, I 'ave somethin' here for ye, lass.' I turned to face him, but there was a sword pointed to my nose instead. I glared at Jack, who was holding the sword, and took the weapon. After getting a belt and sheath from him as well, Jack led me to the door. Raykin was still waiting for us, and when he saw Jack, he asked 'Cap'n, should I go assemble th' crew, sir?'
Jack nodded, and I noticed (for the first time) that he was wearing black kohl around his eyes, giving him a more . . . mysterious look. As Jack led me off to the Pearl, he asked (without turning around) 'So, lass, what be your real name? No sense in callin' ye 'lass' for the entire trip!' I replied quietly, stating 'Marie, Captain. Marie Kemp.' Jack stopped, and turned to me, asking 'Kemp? Was your father, perchance, Edward Kemp?'
I walked up so that I was beside him, looking him straight in the eye. 'Yes, he was my father. Why d'ye ask, Captain?' Jack just flicked his hands at me, drawling 'Oh, he was a good friend o' mine. Good pirate, too. S'too bad 'e's not with us now. Bloody pirates.' My body went numb, and I thought ~So mum was right . . . he was a pirate 'till the end. Well, time to move on! ~ Jack brought me back to the real world by saying 'So, off to th' Pearl, then, Marie?' I looked at him, smiled a bit, and then agreed by saying 'Yes, off to the Pearl!!'
