hahahahaha I reached the big 2-0...that is chapter...Well, I do have a few reviews...
Chapter twenty: The fool on the hill
I stood at the bow of the ship, looking out at the sea. Small pearl like tears dripped off my chin and into the warm ocean. I didn't bother to wipe them away. Elizabeth was below in labor, brought on by me yelling at her. Will was with her in the room, and our ship doctor, Mr. Lorenzo was with them. Everyone else was keeping themselves busy, maybe so I wouldn't go off on them. I had locked myself up in the cabin and wouldn't let anyone in, not even Jack. After a week of barely eating and drinking, I came up onto the deck and brushed everyone off as they tried to "help". I eventually snapped at them and they went away.
I heard a lusty wail, and knew that Elizabeth's baby was fine, so I didn't worry about that.
"Bonnie...?" I heard Jack say behind me. I didn't turn around.
"What."
"Are you going to be ok?" I realized he said going to, not are you...
"I dunno."
"Well you have to be ok."
"Why?"
"Because I said so." I finally turned around. He stood there, arms folded and a scowl on his face.
"Oh? Is that it? I think I get it now! When you say something has to be, it automatically is! So, if you say I have to be ok, Im ok? Well guess what, darling, Im NOT ok! My son has been kidnapped probably because you pissed this guy off!" Jack strode towards me and did something he never did before.
He slapped me. I put my hand to my cheek, stunnded. For a moment.
"YOU BASTARD!" I screamed charging at him. He grabbed my wrists and restled me to the deck floor.
"Listen to me, darling, do you not remember what the mans name was? Rex. So, obviously he has a problem with you. And then you shoot one of crew members, because of their fear. Your being a rutheless bitch." I stopped strugling.
"Im a pirate, Jack. Im supposed to be a ruthless bitch. And what happened to you? Your supposed to be the most feared pirate in the world...and your telling me that Im a bitch?"
"I started to care because of you! And our children! Your the bloody reason why Im like this, so blame yourself."
"So thats it then? Its my fault? Just like it was my fault to not stay with the children? Is everything my fault? Because if it is, tell me now,and I will leave and look for my son myself." Jack stood up and walked away, but not without calling back:
"Its your fault." I jumped up ran to the cabin slamming it shut and locking the door. I threw a bunch of my things haphazardly into a trunk, then dragged it out. Evie ran up to me, looking excited until she saw my trunk, and the look on my face.
"Where are you going?" She demanded breathlessly. I jerked my head to my anchored ship. Her eyes narrowed.
"Im coming with you then." She said haughtily. And marched off to her and Rics cabin. Will came running out next as I struggled to pull my trunk to the side of the ship.
"And you are going...?" He said picking up my trunk with ease.
"To my ship." I said out of breath.
"Ah." He called for a plank to be put between the ships, and he set my trunk down on mine. I ran to the nursery but started when I saw Jack holding Angie.
"Give me my baby." I said in a low voice.
"Shes my baby too." He said in the same voice.
"I am her mother! She needs a mother more than she needs a father right now. Give her to me, or so help me god, I will shoot you." I pulled out the pistol on my belt. We stared each other down for a minute until he handed me the fussing Angie. I turned on my heal and walked away. Evie and Ric were already on my ship.
"You cant just take two of my crew members!" Jack shouted after me.
"Watch me try!" I yelled over my shoulder and ran onto my ship. "Raise anchor! Hoist the sails!" I barked out and went below to the cabin that used to be mine.
"Bonnie! What happened?" Ric said following me.
"Blame that man." I snarled, setting Angie down on the bed.
"What did he do...?" I turned around so fast that Ric backed up.
"He shall not be mentioned on this ship, Ric. Go fetch Evie for me, I have to ask her a favor." I demanded, and turned to tend to Angie again. I heard the door shut and drew a shaky breath.
(a/n: I decided to stop those song things...Hmm. Next chappy is coming up soon!)
