Day 13

I hope nothing goes wrong today. A lot COULD go wrong, considering we've been forced to stop in Port Thomas to repair the ship. I jes hope the Commodore isn't on a business trip here and is still in Port Royal. We have a chance of getting out of here alive if he's not, but if he is, we could be in for a lot of trouble. Mara has become more unbearable than ever. She refuses to eat now unless she makes the food herself. I can't bloody figure out what's gotten into her. I jes hope I made the right decision in leaving her locked in my cabin with no one else on the ship, while the crew and I get supplies. If she escapes.....Good for her.....I doubt we were going to get our ransom anyway. So it doesn't matter. Wait, I hear something....Yelling....Write more later, a new problem has just arisen.

Day 14

Good God...What has my little Mara gotten herself into? What did I get her into....I should never have left her alone on the Pearl. She managed to get out the cabin I had locked her in and had gone out on deck. That was when I found out the Commodore WAS here, just like I had feared. He saw the Pearl and stormed it. Not knowing Mara personally, he thinks she is a pirate, so took her into custody, then told his men to check for others. As soon as this all took place, with me watching from a tavern window, I ran off to gather the crew. It took me two hours to find everyone, then another hour to re-confiscate my ship and sail it out of sight behind a bluff. I've had to stab a lot of guards to get to this point, and I have yet to save Mara. Or rather...I'll leave her. She's already been saved....From pirates....By the Commodore. Why put her through more distress? She's probably already informed the Commodore she's a British citizen and is on her way home. I might as well leave her alone.

Day 15

I have very little time to talk. The Commodore moves very fast. He's already ordered Mara's hanging! Why he's going to hang a young girl who is part of the British colonies, I don't know. I would think he'd let Mara prove her innocence before hanging her....But he's just going forward with the hanging. I don't understand what's going on! All I know is I have to save her, even if it means putting my own life on the line. It's my fault she's where she is. I can't let her die.

Alori: Well, that's that. I hope it was exciting enough for you! Well, with the start of school, I've been forced to delay posting the revised version of Captain Jack's Journal. PLEASE BE PATIENT! I promise I'll get the first chapter up before October hits!

Weiryn: Thank you to all who waited for this chapter to come out. I am overwhelmed with homework. Now if you please, R & R!
