They came back.
That nasty rotten dirty ship.
That horrible hunk of floating junk, that give us pirates a bad name.
The Blackshear.
WHAT DID I EVERY DO TO THEM!?
Ok, well don't answer that, because well you know..
The killed two or three right off. And put some good holes in the Pearl.
Did he know? Did that rat-dog Caption know?
He grabbed the first person he could.
Cameron.
My heart stopped.
Sure I hated him. I mean he's horrible. but no. He's Cameron.
I shouted as loud as I could and dove at the ass who'd grabbed him (who turned out to be to captain himself).
I shouldn't have. Now he knew that this boy meant something to me. "PULL BACK!" he called.
The jumped aboard their own, and set sail as quick the could.
No quick enough some would say.
We put a few more holes in her, and I also managed to sneak aboard.
Get him back, steal a boat get home.
That's all I could think about.
I was so caught up in my worried thoughts I didn't see the all-beef-no- brains sneak up around me, till I was encircled.
"Go away."
They all laughed at me.. Or most of them. "Just go." I maybe could take all of them. Maybe I couldn't but I didn't care. This ship was really starting to tick me off. It was time for me to grab my former best friend and be gone.
"Why you here?"
I couldn't see the speaker, but I swear I know that voice. But I didn't. There was not laughter in the voice. No amusment. Maybe a little anrger, and the reducing remains of shock. No laughter.
"I came to get you."
"Ovashing, go home."
"Can't"
"I'm not coming back Ovashing. I'm staying here. They'll let your go, if I stay."
"No boat."
"Right."
"Never coming back?"
"No."
"Not even for.. Robert."
He pushed his way through the circle and grabbed my chin and looked my square in the eye.
"You know?"
I nodded solemnly.
"Is that- never mind. Not even for; yeah, I'm not coming back."
"Why? I mean I can't go back either right now, just tell me... Why?"
"Why? Maybe because I have no friend there anymore.?" He looked at her so intently she had to look away.
"I'm sorry."
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"I think you know, Ovashing, I really think you do."
I did know. Did I want to emit it? No.
"What?"
"What did I do?"
"I.. When I found out, I was in love with you I've never loved anyone. not even my mother, and now I had a family! And I had friends and I had you! But no, that's be too much wouldn't it? To give Ovashing a little happiness."
I looked a way, as his eyes grew wide. He'd never meant to hurt me, and I'd ripped him apart.
I made him leave the Pearl. He loved the Pearl. He loved two things. And I'd made him leave them both.. At the same time.
Was I cursed? Was I doomed to ruin people's lives? Maybe.
Maybe.
