Hey pplz I got a review, yay! I feel very special thanks to Dani... Anyway I thought some people might want to know that my first juniors exams are over, and I'll try and post my fics quicklier.

Tortuga!

It was dark when Nicola woke up. She guessed that she had fallen asleep when she waited for the ship to stop. "Are we there yet?" She asked sleepily, her voice all croaky from the sudden awakening. When she got no answer back she sat up, rubbing her eye. "Mr Appledorn?" She called but her voice was soon drowned by the sound of the anchor dropping and the passengers yelling.

When Nicola's eyes got used to the dark, she found no one, no Mr Appledorn. So she got her already packed bag and walked out of the small dark cabin.

The passengers were crowding and pushing each other to get on land and they were noisy. They shouted, yelled and even when they were just talking they seemed to be loud.

Nicola was trying to find a way to squeeze in but the people were just too tightly packed. Just as she was about to give up and sit down and wait for the people to slowly go ahead, she heard a faint voice calling her through the rowdy pirates. "Nicola!? Nicola!!?" The voice got louder as the owner of it came closer.

Nicola turned to the direction of the voice and saw it was Kory. "Kory??" She repeated, getting hold of her bag. "What are you doing? I thought you would be already in Tortuga..." She thought aloud.

"I wanted to see you...." Kory stated quickly then added shortly, "Quick, I know a short cut..." He dragged Nicola to somewhere before she could protest. Then he stopped. Nicola wondered how Kory could run in the dark so professionally.

"Where are we??" Nicola asked, looking around at the dark faintly outlines.

Kory stood beside her. "We're one jump away from Tortuga..." He told her. "Now, All you've got to do is jump! You jump first, make sure you take a big jump..."

Nicola hesitated at Kory's advice like warning. She couldn't see a thing and she could only hear waves of seawater underneath her, splashing onto the side of the ship. "Jump? You mean I have to jump over onto something I don't even see?" She asked a little afraid.

Kory noticed the fear, and said, "Capt'n Jack Sparrow's relation afraid?? Especially jumping onto Tortuga? Ha! Well then I'll go first if you're that scared..." He mentioned mockingly and finished with a smirk.

Nicola flashed an icy glare that she was sure Kory would see. "NO! I meant... I'll go first." She said and Kory grinned as if it was all part of the plan. Nicola gulped once then jumped over. She thought she was going to end up in the sea but she felt her feet hit hard ground. She actually stumbled afterwards.

Nicola felt Kory jump beside her. "Wow! Nice landing!" He commented.

Nicola got up and got her bag. "Well that was one great thing not to tell me! You could have told me I was going got land on hard stuff like, this!" She whined and started walking away.

Kory shook his head and smirked. "Wait up, Nicola!" He yelled as he caught up with her. "So, where are you going?" He asked.

"Somewhere I can find my uncle." She said in a matter of fact way, annoyed at Kory's presence.

Kory looked a little taken back, but grinned anyway. "Oh, I thought you were going to say, 'Somewhere I can get rid of you!'" He mimicked Nicola's voice for the last few bits. Then he turned serious. "Can I go with you??" He asked suddenly.

Nicola looked confused. "Come with me? Where?" She questioned, slowing her pace a little.

Kory chuckled. "To find Capt'n Jack, you uncle..." He said as he looked around. "So where do you think we should start?" He asked.

Nicola rolled her eyes as she started walking at her normal speed. "Funny... Because that was exactly what I was going to ask you." She remarked, mostly with sarcasm. "How am I supposed to know where to search first? I've never been here before...." She told Kory, looking around a little.

"Well then here's a little advice for you, Tortuga is never safe! Especially and mostly at night. It's more dangerous in the dark than it is when it's light." Kory explained a little seriously this time. "Now I say we head to any random bar and see if Capt'n Jack is there." He announced.

Nicola raised her eyebrows. "And I thought you said that Tortuga isn't safe in the dark..." She hit back with her arms across her chest.

Kory turned around to face Nicola and thought of something to say. "Well...." He began, slowly to think. "It wont be dark no more in the bar because there will be light!"
