Prologue
It was a predicament. And quite the interesting one at that.
Or rather frustrating, if you were to look at it from another point of view.
Because one of the most infamous pirates currently sailing the seven seas could not, by any means, get out of it.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't my old friend, Jack Sparrow." Came the words from a rather tall figure, hopping over the banister and onto the deck.
Said
man barely registered the words however, because he was dutifully
appraising the ship. The woodwork was particularly nice, a smooth,
glossy finish despite the obvious use and years on the water. Sturdy
also, with an ample supply of ammo and weaponry. He registered,
eyeing the cannons lining the edges of the craft. Oh and the sails,
they were clean with no rips or slashes in sight, not to mention a
brilliant crimson. The work of an extremely dedicated crew was
apparent. Especially since they had managed to capture- "Mr.
Sparrow!" The momentarily irate voice pierced his thoughts and
musings, before calming down once again. "I see you've noticed
our Veronica here."
"Hmm?" He finally looked at the speaker,
wondering if he had heard them incorrectly since their face was
mostly covered by some sort of scarf or bandana. All that was left to
sight were sharp grey eyes, clearly trying to hide their identity. In
fact, all of them were dressed- oh, mind drifting again.
"Veronica's
our pride and joy here. Faster than anything, even your ship Jack."
The smugness was apparent, radiating, even from behind the material.
"V'ronica?
Who the hell names somethin' like this V'ronica?" Gibbs
scoffed, a couple chuckles rippling through the members of the Black
Pearl.
"Now,
now. It's not good form to make light of the lad's ship." Jack
told the other, nodding all-knowingly.
"Lad?"
Their captors erupted into large bouts of laughter, while Gibbs and
company observed them all warily.
Jack
just blinked.
Finally
the chuckles died down, after a few glares from the captain and
well-placed smacks.
They
grinned, stalking across the deck to stop in front of our dear
captain Sparrow.
"Ye
really don't know who I am, then? Well, I s'pose I should refresh
yer memory."

it, you know the whole read and review thing.
