Ok, next chapter. Hope you like this one. Why aren't you people reviewing? You know how easy it is. I don't care if the review is one word. Just review! Now on with the story...
Chapter 8
"Land Hoe! Port Royal on starboard!" Gibbs yelled from the crow's nest. Jack picked up his head. He fell asleep at the wheel, again. At least they got to Port Royal. Gibbs climbed down from the crows nest.
"So, cap'n how you going to get Bonny to give you the treasure?"
"I have a plan. But first, a visit to young Mr. Turner and Mrs. Turner."
"We also need supplies. Rum, bandages, and some new rope won't hurt either. Not to even mention the food supplies."
Jack nodded. He headed under deck to prepare for the trip.
Emma sat in the cabin, completely engrossed in her book. She had been reading a lot lately. No one would let her do work and she was completely bored. There was a knock at the door. Emma got up and answered it. Jack!
She nearly slammed it in his face. But Jack managed to keep it open. "Hello, luv! We're going ashore soon, and I was wondering if you'd come along."
"I don't like raids."
"We aren't going on a raid. It's a supply trip and I'm visiting some friends and a business person. So ye can stay here alone, reading or go ashore."
Emma thought for a moment. "Where are we going?"
"Port Royal."
Port Royal? Roxy! I would love to see her.
"Yes, I'll come along, but I as well have someone to visit."
"Right then. You can tag along with me until we get supplies, then head out. How about that? Do we have an accord?"
"Fine. Just keep your distance."
Jack left the room. Emma grabbed for a shirt and some breeches. She quickly changed and headed for the deck.
"Emma do you think we have everything?"
Emma checks the list Jack made. "Yes AnnaMaria, I'm pretty sure."
"Wind in the sails!" squawks Mr. Cotton's parrot.
"See, even Cotton says we do. Let's let the crewmen do it. I have to report to Jack anyway, so stop worrying, Anna."
AnnaMaria heads on deck, giving orders to the crewmen. Emma heads off in the other direction, towards the blacksmith's shop.
Emma stops in front of the shop. She knocks. A man answers the door.
"I'm here to meet Jack..."
"Yes, please come in."
The man opens the door for Emma and she comes in. Jack is sitting on a hay stack drinking his rum. Emma walked to him.
"Captain, we have acquired all the items on your list."
"Excellent. Luv, I want you to meet me mate, Will Turner. Will this is Emma."
Will shakes Emma's hand. "So this is the women that managed to outsmart thee Jack Sparrow."
"Is that what Jack told you?"
Will nods. Emma blushes a very bright red and smiles. Why does Jack care so much?
"Luv, I know ye just got here, but we have a person I have to meet. So, Will we'll be back later. We're leaving tonight. Bye, mate."
"Good bye Mr. Turner."
Emma waved as Jack pulled her out the door. Jack dragged her down the street and into a tavern.
"Henri, ye here?" Jack yelled
A man with blond hair and blue eyes came over to Jack and hugged him. Jack laughed heartily and slapped him on the back.
"Jack, ye dog, how have you been?"
"Fine, mate, fine, but I need to talk to ye about business."
"Right, business. Come in, to my office. We'll discuss it now."
Henri led Jack behind a curtain. Jack called to Emma.
"Luv, wait here, this won't take long. Please don't wonder off."
"Yes, sir!" She said mockingly. She sat down at the bar counter. Soon enough, a bunch of men came into the tavern.
"Well mates, we found some entertainment." said one, staring at Emma.
"Yeah, let's have a bit of fun." said the other.
Oh man, I was just starting to relax.
Meanwhile, Jack and Henri were discussing many things.
"So why do you have that lass with ye, Jack?"
"Well, for one she is Anne Bonny."
"How are ye so sure?"
"I know. Trust me."
"Why else do you have her with you?"
"She is my key to the Bronze Tiger. She has the key. So I plan to keep her for a bit."
"Yer sure that's wise? I heard the women who carry the key to the treasure can be a bit...aggressive. 'Specially when they are a Tigere."
"Henri, she's gentle as a lamb..."
There was a loud thump. Jack and Henri came from behind the curtain. The only person there was Emma. A bunch of men were knocked out, and laying on the floor. Jack and Henri looked at Emma, eyes wide and mouths open. Emma giggled.
"Heh, heh, I got bored...? Heh, heh."
