A/N: One review! It made me happy. By the way, Jack was a little paranoid, good observation!
Disclaimer: I do not own one wittle itty bitty bit of Jack, or any of the recognizable characters from PotC. However, a few namesof the crew, I do own...so HA! I also own the 'villain' for this chapter.
Siren's Song
Chapter 2: Weakness
Jack stepped from the shadow of his doorway, which immediately sent the crew into a frenzy to line up properly.
"Mr. Gibbs, that will do," Jack commanded. Gibbs was swinging a quarter full bottle of rum in front of a crew member's, Jeremy, face.
Gibbs stopped swinging the bottle, and rubbed his forehead, trying to recall where he had heard that phrase before, "Aye, Cap'n, but he deserved it."
Jack sauntered up to Gibbs, so that he was only inches from his face, Gibbs looked scared, "We'll see about tha'. Now..." Gibbs relaxed as Jack stepped in front of each crew member making his way to the other end of the line and started to walk back, "I only saw AnnaMaria on deck with Gibbs earlier this morning." Jack stopped in front of Michael, "And.... this here boy." If any of ye want to make an excuse as to why you weren't up here helping out with the chores, please say so now."
There was dead silence except for the water splashing against the ship.
"Cap'n!" a crew member pointed to the right of Jack. "There's a ship on the horizon!"
It seemed as if on cue that the whole crew ran over to the side of the ship. Jack ran up to the helm, took out his spyglass and took a look at the ship in the distance.
A smile crossed his face. In the lens of the spyglass there was a man in a highly decorated navy coat, surrounded by people in similar clothing and men in red coats. They all had a decorated tricorn hat, except for the one in charge; he had a plume.
Searching the ship, he found a majestic British flag, flowing gayly in the wind. However, there was something else familiar about that ship.
Jack put the spyglass back in his inside coat pocket and called to his crew, "Mates! Anna! What's familiar 'bout tha' ship?"
None of the crew answered, save for the parrot. Nobody quite caught what it said.
"Gibbs, what is Cotton trying to say?" Jack impatiently asked.
Gibbs stepped forward a bit, "He says that there be trouble aboard that boat...er- ship."
Jack nodded, "Hmm...but what harm could it do if we just pay them a little visit?"
No one talked back against the captain.
"On deck ye scabrous dogs! Let's run along that ship and see what the Commodore is up to!"
The crew responded immediately and Jack grabbed the helm, swinging the ship around, "run up the flag of truce, Gibbs!"
Gibbs ran below deck where the flags were stored and brought up the flag. He ran the flag up quickly.
The ship was getting steadily closer, when Jack noticed something on the opposite ship.
Now that he was closer he realized that the people on board the ship did not have the right figure of a man. Jack could recognize a woman's figure anywhere, and that crew was entirely of women.
Just as he noticed that small feature, there was a scuffle aboard that ship...they were raising a pirate flag.
"Not good..."
Jack had already raised the truce flag, so they could talk in peace, but they were pirates. They would think of it as an easy victory. The ships were almost running alongside each other now. Too late to turn back. From being from a ship for so long, he made a mistake. Showed his weakness.
"Crew! We just surrendered!" Jack yelled to the bustling crew, then turned toward the other ship in defeat.
A woman's voice trailed from the other ship, "Captain Jack Sparrow! You've just surrendered to the worst pirate threat, the Siren's Song..."
A/N: Is this good enough for a review? Maybe two? Jack will give you kudos...right Jack?
Jack: One small problem, love
Me: And what's that?
Jack: I've just been captured.
Me: Oh, yeah. Maybe if you review, he'll be let free...(hint hint) Good comments about writing would be nice.
