Chapter 5: What Do You Do With A Drunken Pirate?
The Black Pearl and its crew had been sailing over the Caribbean seas for nearly two weeks now. There was a strong wind blowing through the sails, pushing the ship onward to its first and last stop before setting out after the Island of Black Sand.
Kilie had heard of this Island named Tortuga, but had never been there herself. The whole crew seemed overjoyed and energetic about going to the island, some were already celebrating, leaving Kilie to handle most of the ships chores on her own.
She climbed up a net, releasing the sails down further, allowing the wind to catch it and push them on a little faster. Kilie's long red hair was pulled away from her face with a black bandana; she wiped the sweat from her brow.
Meanwhile, down below at the helm, Jack was paying little attention to where they were sailing, instead, his attention was drawn to Kilie, watching her lean body climb about rather gracefully under the sails. 'Wow, she moves through those holes so easily.. so... bendable. I wonder if she's that bendable when she's.....' His eyes widened at his own dirty thought, his head darted around, paranoid. 'Jesus, did I say that out loud? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?' He shook the thoughts from his mind, and gazed back up at her. He knew that the crew should have been helping her, but she had not complained and so he said nothing. Actually, it made him admire her even more, she was a worthy crewmember.... and torturingly attractive!
Kilie climbed down from the sails, jumping the remaining feet to the deck of the ship, landing almost directly behind Jack.
Jack jumped slightly and spun around.
Kilie righted herself, tossing her hair away from her neck. She smiled at Jack and walked slowly past him without saying a word, flicking the tip of his hat as she went by.
Jack leaned to his right slightly, cocking his head as he watched her go down the stairs and make a left, going below decks.
He frowned and sighed heavily, she was teasing him, wither she knew it or not.
Gibbs ran up the stairs a few minutes later, a happy smirk on his grizzled face. "Cap'n! Tortuga is in sight!"
Jack furrowed his eyebrows and glanced over Gibbs shoulder, there indeed was Tortuga, just off the horizon, drawing ever closer. They would be in port before nightfall.
He smiled and called out to his crew. "Aye! On deck ye scabbarous dogs! Tortuga be commin' up on us and if ye want to go ashore, ye'll get this ship ready to dock!"
The crew rushed around deck, trying to get their orders finished and over with so they could get off and go get plastered in the local pub and then probably chase women the rest of the night until they finally passed out. Ah, yes. It was wonderful living the life of a pirate.
The Black Pearl sailed into the harbor smoothly, and the crew wasted no time at all in tying up and going ashore.
Kilie and Jack were the last to leave the ship, Kilie was finishing up her last chore, making sure that the sails were tied up for the night; and Jack was walking around his ship, making sure that everything had been taken care of. Kilie watched him slip below decks and come back up a few minutes later with a sack slung over one shoulder.
She walked next to him, cocking her head and pointing at the sack. "What's in there?"
Jack's eyes darted left to right for a second, his face scrunched up. "Er... my effects."
"Your effects? But you're wearing your hat, and your sword is strapped to-"
"IT'S MY EFFECTS!" Jack blurted out, almost yelling at her.
"Okay, okay, sheesh. Sorry, God I didn't know you were going to be so touchy." Kilie raised her hands in defense.
Jack growled and walked off his ship to the docks, not turning to look back at Kilie.
She stood for a moment on the ship, watching him leave, then she sighed heavily, giving the Pearl one last glance around before heading into town alone.
The pub, though filled to the brim with drunken pirates and prostitutes, was a warm and seemingly friendly place. Kilie recognized some of her crewmates in the mix, but she kept to herself in the far corner of the bar, sipping her rum slowly. She was used to the pub scene, she'd spent many of her nights back in Port Royal at the local pub with many grizzly and dark characters, and this place was no different except that it was louder. She asked for another bottle to be brought to her from behind the counter, and paid the waiter for it. Kilie only appeared to be a lightweight, when in reality; she could hold her drink with the best of them.
"All'ssssss I'm sayin' darlin' is that if ye wanted a bit o' the captain.. hiccup! All ye'd have te do issss get me another glasssss."
Kilie recognized the slurring voice close by as none other that Captain Jack Sparrow. She turned around, seeing him sitting at another table, talking with some blonde haired floozy who's makeup looked like she'd had some kind of animal smear it on for her.
Kilie stood up, grabbing her glass and unopened bottle of rum and went to his table, she set her drink down, and placed a hand on her hip, glaring at the tramp infront of her. "Excuse me...."
Both Jack and the woman looked up at her, Jack smiled and waved at her childishly, while the woman only starred in confusion.
Kilie tapped her boot, growing impatient. Finally she rolled her eyes and grabbed the woman by the arm, pulling her up from the table. "MOVE!" she yelled, pushing the woman away.
Kilie ignored the woman as she cursed her and walked away, moving on to another man.
"Kilie! Common an' sit down wif me darlin'" Jack motioned wildly to her.
Kilie took a seat across from him.
"I wassss jussss 'avin' a conversation with Edith over here an- where did me damned hat go?" Jack narrowed his eyes and ducked under the table. "AH! 'ere it is!" He slammed his head into the table as he came back up. "BLOODY HELL!" he grabbed his head with both hands, rubbing gingerly.
Kilie sputtered out some of her rum as she watching him, trying hard not to laugh, as it would only encourage him.
Jack looked at her and smiled wryly. "Ye know, yer one of the rarest women I know... not like any of the women I've known. An' there's been a lot..."
Kilie frowned at this; she really would prefer that he not mention that. Although, he was a pirate and she knew for a fact that he was a bit of a womanizer.
"But you," Jack continued. "You, I just can't figure out, one minute I think ye fancy me, an the next.... BAM! Crown yerself the Ice Queen!" Jack made a huge movement with his arms on the word BAM.
Kilie listened, half way to humor him, and also because she kind of wanted to.
Jack took a sip of his glass, eyeing her. "Ye not much fer talking tonight missy?"
Kilie shook her head. "No.... not really?"
"Wanna do something else then, something that requires less chattin'?"
Kilie eyed him suspiciously. "Like what?"
Jack smiled and licked his lips.
Kilie sighed, leaning back against the seat and rolling her eyes. "Ugh, gross Jack. Why do you keep doing that?"
Jack shrugged and smiled smugly. "Cause, luv. I'm Captain Jack Sparrow."
"Oh, how I wish you'd stop reminding me..." Kilie said under her breath.
The doors of the pub crashed open suddenly, and in came two officers, one with a piece of paper in his hand. The combed through the bar, calling out Jack's name.
Jack's eyes widened as he watched the officers search through the crowd for him. The decision to leave came suddenly. Or maybe not. He thought to himself, he could bolt for the back door, but they would see him and might cut him off... he was sure of one thing, however, and that was... he was screwed.
Kilie looked at Jack. "What did you do?"
Jack said nothing, he watched the officers come closer. Crap! They had noticed him! He sank down low in his seat, closing his eyes and muttering to himself. "Stay calm, stay calm. I'm a relatively respectable citizen- a multiple felon perhaps, but certainly not dangerous!"
"Jack Sparrow!"
Jack winced and opened his eyes, looking up at the officers. "Aye?"
"We're here to arrest you for stealing 6 cases of rum from the home of a civilian."
Kilie glared at Jack. "You can't get enough of it here or on the ship? You have to go and steal it from a civilian after only being on this island for 4 hours?"
"Jack smiled, trying to reason with her. "I was just stalkin' up.... fer the long journey."
One of the officers broke in on the conversation. "Will you be coming quietly or no?"
Jack cast a look at Kilie, who nodded and eyed the officers with a mischievous grin.
Jack stood up and stuck his hands out infront of him, waiting to be hand cuffed.
Kilie took this moment, since nether officer was paying any attention to her, to kick one of them in the shins. Jack then rammed the other officer, who fell onto his partner, knocking them both to the floor.
Kilie then grabbed Jack by the arm and pulled him with her to the back door, rushing outside into the cool night air.
Kilie cast her gaze around her, trying to remember in which direction the Pearl was.
Jack walked around her, swaying and speaking loudly. "That was brilliant! Thought they could capture Captain Jack s-s-Sparrow! HA! Imosssssible!" He stood still, watching an old couple walk by them, he flailed his arms and sang loudly to their faces. "AN' REALLY BAD EGGS!"
The old couple took one look at him and shuffled by quickly trying to ignore Jack's drunken stupor..... if that were at all possible.
Kilie laughed at him. "Common Jack, let's get you back to the Pearl." She walked up to him, slinging his arm around her shoulders to help support him, she was practically dragging him because he could hardly stand, let alone walk on his own.
'Ye know I always liked you." He slurred in her face, poking her cheek.
"That's nice, Jack." Kilie kept her gaze forward, and her face straight.
"An' I always liked him too." Jack pointed to a complete stranger.
Kilie let out a sputtering giggle; he was the most hilarious drunk she'd ever seen.
They reached the Pearl after taking a few wrong turns, and Kilie plopped Jack down onto the deck.
Jack lay on his back, breathing in heavily, laughing.
Kilie smiled and laid back next to Jack, turning her head to look at him.
"That was fun." She said between gasps of breath.
Jack gazed at her. "First time I've seen ye smile all night, luv."
He saw the look in Kilie's face and laughed. "Oh, ye know ye enjoyed it!" He sat up, taking off his hat and scratching the back of his head. "O' course, now I'm soberin' up...and that spoils my evenin'. I think I'll be heading to me quarters now, got those 6 cases of rum to store away."
"How'd you get the crates back here?"
"I was out pickin up me effects an' I thought while I'm at it, I'll get Gibbs ta help me smuggle them on board."
Kilie smiled and shook her head at him.
"Well, I'm off luv." Jack stood and stretched. "The offer still stands ye know." He gazed down at her.
Kilie glared up at him. "No thanks... I already told you."
Jack sighed and nodded. "Well then. The rest of the crew should start to trickle in within a few hours. G'night, luv."
He bent down, kissing the top of her head.
Kilie's heart nearly stopped and she froze, staring up at him. She didn't know what to do.. she COULDN'T do anything!
Jack smiled triumphantly at her and walked away. "She's cavin'," he said to himself.
* * * * * * * * * *
Gibbs sat on a stool, drinking what was his sixth glass of ale and speaking to Anna Maria, unaware of the shadowy figure sitting near by, listening in on his conversation.
"Now that the Cap'n has that other piece of the map, we should be heading out any time now.... It's bad luck to wait aroun' too long though, never know who's watchin'." Gibbs took a sip of his glass.
Anna Maria nodded. "Yes, Tortuga is as good a place as any, but it's not wise to go around flaunting the map... he was telling some whore this evening all about it. Thank god Kilie shut him up. Jack's as good a pirate as they come.... but he's not one to use his head and watch what he says when he's had too much to drink."
"Aye, but we should be safe, I think we'll be leavin' in a day or so anyway. Who knows how many weeks it'll take to find the Island of Black Sand."
The shadowy man's dark eyes widened at the mention of the Island, an evil smirk crossed his chiseled face and he slipped down from his stool, sneaking out the back. Captain Bronze would be delighted to hear about this.
* * * * * * * * * *
Kilie walked to Jack's quarters with a tall glass of water in her hands, she saw that the door was open a crack.
Inside, Jack sat on his bed, a small, sandy colored teddy bear in his hands. This was Captain Snuggles; he had an eye patch, a hat, and even a beaded piece of hair with a medallion at the end.... He looked strikingly like Jack.
"Well, Captain Snuggles, it's goin' te be a long journey, I hope that yer up for it. Jus' think of all the treasure we'll find! The Island of Black Sand is said te be loaded with riches!" there was silence for a moment. "Oh yes, that's true, not that we should run into anyone out there, we've got the map, an' it's unlikely that anyone else knows where it is."
Kilie could hear him speaking out loud as she approached, though she did not catch everything he had said. She knocked once and pushed the door open.
She saw Jack start, and push something fuzzy under his pillow.
Jack stared at her with big, wide eyes as she entered. '"Ello!" he said quickly.
Kilie stood in the threshold. "What was that?"
"What was what?"
"What you were just holding in your hands... What was it?" She stepped closer.
Jack leaned back over his pillow protectively. "Rum bottle." He said, smiling.
"But it was fuzzy" Kilie noted.
"It was a fuzzy rum bottle." Jack gave her a nervous grin.
Kilie quirked an eyebrow at him and shook her head, sighing. "Well, anyway.... here, I brought you something to drink."
Jack stood quickly and smiled, taking the glass. He stared at the clear contents within, confused. "What is it?"
"It's called water, it's cold, clear, and tastes really good.... And it won't give you a hangover. Ever tried it?" Kilie said sarcastically.
Jack glared at her. "I know what water is." He took a sip, and smiled. "mmmmm, fresh. Thank you, luv."
Kilie shrugged and turned, leaving. "Anytime."
Jack watched her leave, and closed his door behind her. He set the water down and pulled Captain Snuggles out from his hiding place.
He held the bear up to his face, looking at him. "Now.. Where were we?"
The Black Pearl and its crew had been sailing over the Caribbean seas for nearly two weeks now. There was a strong wind blowing through the sails, pushing the ship onward to its first and last stop before setting out after the Island of Black Sand.
