Jade woke up from her comfortable sleep to the sound of feet shuffling.
She was in a rather good mood, but then she remembered where she was. A man
was standing her room.
"I'm Mr. Gibbs, the first mate. Jack's asked me to bring you down your food." He pointed to a desk where some food was sitting. "Anyway, if you need anything, you can tell Annamaria, the second mate. I take the helm at night so I sleep in the day." He walked out of the room and then came back in.
"By the way, Jimmy was killed in the plunder last night. Don't let Jack make you think he's at all sad about it, he didn't like Ol' Jimmy; the boy was bloody useless." With that he left and Jade got up, put on her dressing gown, and made her way to her food.
She went up to the deck to talk with Sparrow after she finished. Jade observed the man in front of her and didn't know what to think. He was very odd. He moved as if he was slightly drunk but on purpose and his fingers were always fiddling. He had very many facial expressions and like to move around when he talked.
Jack was at the helm, humming merrily to himself. He missed the Black Pearl so much and now that it was his again, he was overjoyed. He heard Annamaria giving orders here and there and smiled to himself. That girl didn't miss a beat. He was on his way to Spiten. It's a small, remote island that not many knew about. He hated that island with an uncanny passion; that's why he named it Spiten. He was marooned on that island twice in his lifetime and he was taking precautions to make sure if it ever did happen again, he could get away.
He glanced to his side and stopped humming. The Princess was awake. Lovely! Jack was still tired from the night before, he had slept with Annamaria because Jade had taken his bed. And her bed is not only smaller, but also less comfortable than his own.
"Captain." She said, approaching him. He yawned. "Captain, it appears to me that the only clothes I have on this ship are the ones I am wearing."
"Get to the point love."
"I am not your love! Nor will I ever be. Now," Jade said, getting slightly frustrated, "You will need to buy me some new clothes."
Did he just hear her right? What kind of a pirate operation did she think he was running?
He laughed. "Sorry, no can do." Annamaria heard this.
"Jack," She said. "We have some of-"
But Jack kicked her quickly in the leg and signaled for her to shut up.
"No, go on." Jade said.
Annamaria looked at Jack and then to Jade.
"I am not a part of this." With that she left. Jack looked at Jade who was eyeing him suspiciously.
"Can I 'elp you?" He asked. She glared at him and then turned away, looking out to the Ocean.
"How is it that you can fence like that?" She asked, whipping around and looking at him. He smiled. He was wondering when she was going to ask him that.
"You fence well, but you're a woman."
"How dare you! Woman can fence if they like!"
"Oh, yes, they can. But you see, because you are a woman, you were taught and trained to fight like a woman." He looked at her. "Means you're not assertive enough. You'll never make the first blow, you need a reason to attack and you won't do so 'till you got one."
"Sir! Sir! You never did say where you want us to put this lass' clothes." Someone said. Damn them! Bloody Pirates! He looked at Jade who was smiling.
"You can put them in my quarters, thank you gentlemen." Jade answered. They left.
"Your quarters?" Jack repeated, turning on her. "Your Quarters? What in the blazes hell are you talking about? The broom cupboard won't fit 3 trunks in it."
Jade smiled.
"And that's why I've moved into your room."
"You know, things have been going very conveniently for you." Jack thought out loud.
"No." Jade responded. "Convenient would be you bringing me back to my ship. Convenient would be having my eggs scrambled for me when I woke up like ordered! Convenient would be never having to worry about my father telling Sir William Hant and having him come to look for me."
Now this puzzled Jack slightly. Why didn't she want more people looking for her? The more people looking for her, the higher chances of being found.
"Well love, you don't have to worry about anyone ever comin' to look for you, because no one will ever find you. You're aboard The Black Pearl."
"You don't know Sir William Hant. He's very determined, he always gets what he wants, and he wants to marry me."
"Why?" He asked.
"Excuse me?" Jade said. "What do you mean by that?"
"Oh, no offense love, no offense. You're just not my type."
"I'm Mr. Gibbs, the first mate. Jack's asked me to bring you down your food." He pointed to a desk where some food was sitting. "Anyway, if you need anything, you can tell Annamaria, the second mate. I take the helm at night so I sleep in the day." He walked out of the room and then came back in.
