I changed O'Connels name to O'Conner. So yeah...that is why his name is O'Conner.
Meangirl: YES! You guessed it. It was David Bowie, Queen Bitch. I love that song. Thanks for the compliments. When I finish up with this story, Im going to start Vixen again.
orlandoschick08: Thank you!
Chapter eighteen: Whispering Wind
I watched, anxious, as my ship grew closer. I saw they changed the name to Whispering Wind. I didn't like it much, but it did suit my ship. Jack realized that it was my ship and started barking out orders.
"Ready the guns! Prepaire to fight, if nessisary! Ill not have this ship, or Bonnie taken!" I ran over to him.
"Jack, remember what Faith wrote? What if it was true? Can't we see what they want first?" Jack gave me a hard look and walked away. I watched the ship come close enough for someone to swing over. Someone did. It was my second mate, Parker.
"Miss Bonnie!" He cried, and hugged me. I was stiff. Jack cleared his throat.
"Oh, Parker, my husband, Captain Sparrow." Parker paled, and let go of me. He always did fancy me.
"We were so worried when we went back to get you from that island, and you weren't there. We have been searching for you everywhere, until we found out you were part of The Black Pearl crew."
"Well, maybe you shouldn't have succumbed to threats, Parker. Then you wouldn't have had to worry about me. If you came to me when Faith threatend you, and me, instead of going along with her this would have never happend." Parker fidgeted. Two more men swung over. James and Tye.
"James, Tye, please tell me your side of the story." I said cooly. The pretty much said what Parker did. I sighed, and gestured for them to go back to my ship.
"Miss Bonnie!" They protested. I cut them off.
"It is Mrs Sparrow now. You lost the right to call me Bonnie when you went along with my sister. Go back to my ship. I will deal with you later. Until you are to sail with the Pearl, and under her colors until I say other wise. You are lucky I am not getting rid of you all. We are sailing to Nassau Port. If any of you get captured, and thrown in jail, you are on your own. You are not worthy of my crew if you cannot evade capture." I turned on my heel, dismissing them. They went back and Jack came back up to me.
"You can handle yourself...Ill give you that." I slapped at his shoulder. He grunted and went to the helm.
A few months later we were in Nassau Port. When we docked, we went in search of Evalynn and her brother. We found them both in a small tavern called "Whispering Wind." what was with that name? She spotted O'Conner and threw a shoe at him.
"Its about damn time, O'Conner!" She shouted, rushing toward us.
"I cant help it!" Ric(O'Conner...duh.) said. "Its not like I can controll the seas!." He threw his arms up in surrender. She glared at him. Then she saw us. She didn't blush for her attitiude, but instead...Sized us up. I immeadiately liked her.
"Im Evie...And you are?" She asked of me.
"Oh. I am Captain Bonnie...My husband, Captain Sparrow. Our good friends Will and Elizabeth Tunner." I pointed them all out. She nodded. She was very pretty. She had long curly brown hair that she had tied in a bun, and wasn't wearing a gown, but a pair of trousers and a button down shirt. It suited her. Her dark eyes were rimmed with gold makeup. She looked exotic, but talked with an English accent.
"Pleased...Johnathan!" She called to where they had been sitting. A small, o.k. looking man walked up to us. She introduced us. He nodded. Jack seemed to know him. He grabbed him by the colar and pushed him up againts the wall.
"Well if it isn't my good buddy Johnie...I think I'll kill you." He drew out his pistol and aimed it at Johnathans heart. Evalynn didn't do anything to stop it. She just stood there with a look saying: 'Not again...Eh. He diserves it."
"Think of my children!" John shouted.
"You dont have any children." Evie protested.
"Someday I might." I put a hand on Jacks shoulder.
"What did he do?" I asked in his ear. Jack lowered his pistol, and put it back in his belt.
"Stupid blighter stole from me a while ago." Jack said, trying not to punch him.
"Well, I would never steal from a crew member..." John trailed off.
"Im not a crew member, Im your captain." Jack said ominously.
"Now gentlemen, if we are going to work together we have have to learn to be fair and civilized." Evie cut in, coming between Jack and John. "I assure you, Captain Sparrow, that under pain of death, my brother wont steal from you again." John was about to protest when Evie kicked him. He nodded. Jack grunted and went to get something to drink. John went to grab his and Evalynns things to load on the ship.
"Where are we going?" Evie asked me as we made our way back to the ship. Her hand was in Rics, and she seemed to glow.
"You know what? I dont know. Maybe Tourtuga, Port Royal, The Isle De Morte..." She looked up at me sharply.
"Did you say, The Isle De Morte?" She damanded.
"Aye."
"Wow. I've heard many tales about it. Thats what first interested me in piracy. Sort of a lifes persuit really." I smiled at her enthusiasm.
"I'll see if I can get Jack to go there. We are running low on swag in the holds anyways." She beamed and rested her head on Rics arm.
"Why do we need to go to Isle De Morte, again?" Jack asked that night after I proposed it. I groaned in frustration and started my plight over.
"Because. We do need some more money. I checked what we have right now, and its not enough. I went over to my ship and noticed that it wasn't stocked very well either. We are low on money. We need more, as I said. Besides, Evie and Ric want to see it."
"I dont trust Johnathan. He might steal one of the gold pieces, or something."
"He could be one of the ones who are gaurding the ships."
"But its a while away, and the baby..."
"I have a while to go, Jack."
"Elizabeth is pregnant again too."
"Same thing."
"And we dont know how trustworhty Evalynn and Ric are."
"Ric proved himself a hundred times over when we escaped from England."
"The crew might want to go to Port Royal, or Tourtuga..."
"The crew do as you tell them to. Your the captain."
"What about David? Im sure it would be easier for him to learn how to walk on land."
"Actually, he would fare better learning on a ship, then he would walk better on land.
Jack ran out of excuses.
"Your not going to let me refuse." He said sighing.
"Nah." I wrapped my arms around his neck, and gave him a kiss. "Does that mean yes?"
"Aye." He said, kissing me back.
I knocked on Evie's cabin two mornings later. She called for me to enter and I was amazed at how she decorated the cabin in such a short time. It was the second largest one, only a bit smaller than mine and Jack's. We gave her and Ric a big cabin because they were together. She had the walls coverd in maps of different islands and continents, most of them were littered with pins. She had shawls on the bedposts, and the rushes were clean for the first time in a while. The bed had a deep red satin cover on it, and Egyptian articafts were on any available space.
"Wow. Who would have thought this cabin could actually look nice." I said walking in.
"Well, I do my best. But it would be false modesty if I were to say it didn't take time." I laughed.
"I came to tell you that we are indeed going to The Isle De Morte. It will be about a month or two to get there. I hope your brother and you are sea-worthy." She nodded emphatically.
"Oh yes. My parents did a lot of traveling when my brother and I were little. I love the life on a ship. My mother was Egyptian. And my father was an explorer. They traveled a lot, bringing us with them. They loved each other so." She had a far away look in her eyes.
"That would explain the artifacts." She nodded again.
"Well, you can always ask me if there is anything you need. Be sure your brother keeps his sticky fingers to himself. Jack will not hesitate to kill anyone stealing from him. By the way, are you and Ric married?" She blushed.
"No. We are planing to, but the right moment never came." I smiled and walked out of the nice cabin.
"Mrs. Sparrow!" A crew member of mine by the name of Mick came running up to me.
"Well, what is it?" I asked as he stood there.
"I found this. It was under a floor board." He thrusted a piece of parchment into my hands. I turned it over. It was a letter. I dismissed him and sat down on a chair on deck.
Amelia, It read. That was odd, Amelia was my mothers name.
I think about you and our daughter, Bonnie every day and night. I know it was the right thing of you to marry Captain Klyde...he will take better care of you than I can. He has more money, and more power. I still feel horrible about not seeing you and my little girl. Maybe one day we can make an arangement. One can only hope. Seeing your face is what keeps me alive, and fighting. I herd that Klyde adores you, and you are becoming quite well liked on his ship, with his crew. I have an idea that can bring us together again, but it is a risk, and it would leave Klyde broken hearted, but what is a broken heart when two hearts are finally together as one? I will write again, I assure you. I love you too much for words.
Your true and devoted love,
Rex.
I couldn't breathe. Was this true? This Rex guy was my real father? Than who was Klyde, the man who raised me? If he wasn't my father, how could Amelia leave me with him to go off with Rex? And did she fake her death? Klyde said that she died after having me. I never questioned that. And what about Faith? I killed a stranger...I killed someones daughter. I crumpled the paper in my hands. This man, and the woman who called herself my mother...they were nothing to me now. But I vowed at that moment I would find Rex, and see if Amelia was alive. And if she broke Klydes heart, I dont know what I would do. He was the only father, or parent for that matter, that I knew.
(a/n: Ha. Done wif this chappy. Hahahahaha Threw a curve call at you AGAIN. I love doing this.)
I had no choice but to hear you
You stated your case time and again
I thought about it
You treat me like I'm a princess
I'm not used to liking that
You ask how my day was
You've already won me over in spite of me
Don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault
Your love is thick and it swallowed me whole
You're so much braver than I gave you credit for
That's not lip service
You've already won me over in spite of me
Don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault
You are the bearer of unconditional things
You held your breath and the door for me
Thanks for your patience
You're the best listener that I've ever met
You're my best friend
Best friend with benefits
What took me so long
I've never felt this healthy before
I've never wanted something rational
I am aware now
I am aware now
You've already won me over in spite of me
Don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault
