Chapter 9

"How long have you exactly been stuck in here Jack?" questioned Silver.

"Well, let's see, first ye yelled at me. Then ye yelled at me some more, and then ye went into your room. That's when I went to mine, and I've been stuck here eva' since." Jack's expression was hateful yet bored.

Silver's eyes watered up. "Jack, I came to apologize, and I guess since I'm stuck in here with you I can apologize all I want now, right?"

Jack grunted.

"Oh Darling, don't be that way!" she said, sweeping her feet toward Jack and pulling him off of his bed.

"You're kidding, right?"

"Yes, silly. Snorington thinks it's adorable! Oh, and guess what! We're going to buy a new house to raise the baby in!" Her voice was enthusiatically skeptical.

"And ye is happy about that?" asked Jack with a puzzled face.

"Sarcasm Jack. You must be delirious, I know for a fact that it's no foreign language to ye."

"Right. I haven't had rum for an hour!"

"What? You are going delirious because you haven't had rum in one measley hour,and I didn't have any rum for a week and I get dizzy! Ye are addicted, sweetheart!"

"I'm confused."

"Huh?"

"Ye just yelled at me and insulted me. Yet ye called me 'sweetheart.'"

"Hm…I guess I'm just as confused as you are."

"Will you sing?"

"Depends. Where's the stash?"

"How didja…?" asked Jack, flabbergasted.

"Please, not only being card game queen of the ship, swordsmaster, and Hawk Eye, I'm very observative. It's behind your frilly black hat, isn't it?"

Jack just stared at Silver in incredulity.

Silver walked towards Jack's closet and opened it up. Going through each item of clothing at a time, she found the frilly black hat and removed it. There laid a dozen bottles of rum. She grabbed two and shut the closet with her foot.

Raising the bottles up above her head she said, "Give me a kiss, and you can have ye rum!"

"Gladly," replied Jack, who walked up to her and gave her a passionate but short kiss.

"How's that?" he asked.

Silver frowned. "You already had rum! And you were delirious. Ha! You just made a huge mistake!" And with that she drank the entire two bottles of rum in a row.

"What did you do that for?"

"You had rum. You lied. No one lies to Silver. But in an exception, Silver can lie to others."

"You're crazy."

"Okay, if I'm crazy, then you are a lunatic!"

"If I'm a lunatic, you are a scallywag!"

"That means you're a…" Silver started, and then held her hand upon her forehead. "Oh…my head."

"Don't faint. The last thing I want is an unconcious Silver in my room."

This particular coment snapped Silver out of her headache, and she also snapped, "You are unconcious all the time Jack, and are the last person in position to tell me that!"

They continued to bicker and started to throw pillows at each other, when Silver landed on Jack on the bed.

She whispered, "I'm tired. I'll sing us to sleep." Jack smirked, but Silver just began to sing.

I've been looking down 'til my eyes are tired of looking
Listening 'til my ears are numb from listening
Praying 'til my kness are sore from kneeling on the bedroom floor
I know that you know that my heart is aching
I'm running out of tears and my will is breaking
I don't think that I could carry the burden of it anymore

All of my dreams and my hopes and my best laid plans
Are slowly slipping from my folded hands

So I'm gonna lay it down
I'm gonna learn to trust you now
What else can I do?
Everything I am depends on you
And if the sun don't come back up
I know your love will be enough
I'm gonna let it be
I'm gonna let it go
I'm gonna lay it down

I'm been walking through this world like I'm barely living
Buried in the doubt of this hole I've been digging
But you're pulling me out and now I'm finally breathing in the to oopen air
This room may be dark but I'm finally seeing
There's a new ray of hope and now I'm believing
That the past it past and the future's beginning
To the brighter now, oh

'Cause all of my dreams and my hopes and my best laid plans
Are safe and secure when I place them in your hands

Silver finished, and saw that Jack was fast asleep. She smiled, and snuggled into bed with him. She had a lost grin on her face as she fell asleep.

But Silver didn't know that Jack never fell asleep. He opened his eyes, saw that Silver was in bed beside him, and put his arm around her waist. He grinned and yawned, and decided that some sleep would be good for him.

"I want no less then 100 ships on the lookout for my daughter!" cried Queen Lidia.

"But madam…" stuttered her governess.

"What do you mean, 'but madam?' My poor daughter Serenity is lost in the Caribbean! She is the only heir of Ireland, and she must be found!"

"But your brother's son," started the governess.

"My brother's son? Do you mean to tell me that even though he is not even of age to be a man you would have him as your king!" raged Lidia.

"But, your majesty, in one year…"

"In one year he will be a mere 7 and 10. He will not be a man. My daughter is fit for the position! She is 8 and 20!"

"Why are they so far apart of age? 1 and 10 years is quite a long time."

The queen laughed. "My brother was not a charmer I say, it took him quite a while for women to find him desirable!"

Tay, the governess, nodded her head gravely, saying, "Not much of a charmer, aye?"

"Aye."

The women were strolling along the dock of Ireland's royal port, when a loud shout was heard.

"What is the meaning of this?"

Queen Lidia sighed. "Katarik let me explain."

"Yes, please, explain! Explain to me what are earth is going on? What are all these boats doing?"

"You do remember our daughter, Serenity?" she said boldly.

"Fine young woman, I hear. I have met many men who have met her, and they say she's an amazing woman…"

"You've met men who know where Serenity is?"

"Yes, but they call her Silver, not Serenity."

"Silver?"

"Silver Sparrow I believe. Oh, don't tell me that you're sailing off to find her? There's no need!"

"No…need?"

"Of course not! She's of age, when she wants to come back, she will. Actually, I asked one of her old friends, Tom, I believe, to ask her back on her 30th birthday. Won't that be a wonderful experience?"

"30? That will be 2 years!"

"Well, we'll just keep ruling until then. I like to rule Ireland, nice land and peace here."

"You don't miss her?"

"Of course I miss her! When's the last time we saw our daughter?"

Queen Lidia gasped, and followed by her was Tay.

"It has been 20 years! We haven't seen her since she was but a wee lass!"

"Then think of how we'll fill in all the missing years once she gets here!"

The queen sighed. "I suppose. Very well, I will only send one ship to see to her. I just want to make sure our daughter is alright. I don't want to lose her."

Hope you liked it! It's a bit short, but I really couldn't think of anything to write about Serenity's parents. Well, her daddy's okay with her, but what about her mother? And what will happen once they find out they're daughter is a pirate? And when are Silver and Jack getting out? Find out in the next chapter!
