Chapter 5: A Little bit Uncomfortable

Rachel's eyes flickered open. She was expecting to be on the island, but found herself in a room. She sat up in bed. Her head was pounding. She put her hand to her head. She felt a soft cloth on her forehead. She saw a mirror across the way. She ran to it and saw that her head waas bandaged. She took a look around the room. In the very center of the room was the bed she had been lying on. To the right of that was a desk in front of a huge window. Rachel figured she might be able to figure out who had rescued her if she looked through the desk.

She walked over to it. She saw a bunch of various maps, an empty rum bottle, and a compass. With the following evidence she concluded she was definitely on a ship. She looked to her left and saw a cabinet. She opened it hoping to find food. Instead she found the largest supply of rum she had ever seen. Rachel closed the cabinet and walked over to the bed and wrapped the blankets around her. She sat there confused and alone. She wanted someone to reassure her that everything was going to be okay. But there was no comfort in the room.

On deck Will and Gibbs were helping the crew on there journey to Tortuga. They were tying some of the rigging. "Heard from the captain that we ave' a child aboard the ship." Gibbs said.

"It's true." replied Will tying the last knot. He climbed down next to Gibbs so they could talk. "You have to be quiet about it though. The only people who know about it are you, AnaMaria, the captain, and me,"

"Why doesn't he want ter tell anyone about it?"

"He's afraid some of the men are going to get some nasty ideas in there head when they find out about her. Besides she unconscious at the moment and he doesn't want her to be disturbed."

"Did the doctor take a look at er'"

"No, Ana did though."

"She's a poor substitute compared to Johnathan. He's a miracle worker." They were interrupted when they heard footprints behind them.

'Will, since your all done, why don't you check on the child." Jack said as Emy Rachel's dog came up beside him. Will nodded and left Gibbs to go get her. He opened the door quietly. When he poked his head in he saw her sittning up in the bed. The blanket wrapped around her and a frightened expression on her face. He stepped into the room and walked towards her. She leapt up from the bed and dashed behind the desk.

"It's alright." he said calmly. "I'm not gonna hurt you. Do you remember what happened?" There was no answer. "It's alright. The captain and I found you on the island and rescued you. We're not gonna harm you." There was still silence. Will was know only a few steps away from her. He stopped and looked her. Her hair was mangled and disheivled, her clothes still pretty wet. "Bet you want something to eat, huh? This time Rachel looked up at him and shook her head. "Okay, then. Liet's go to the galley then when your done eating, we'll get you out of those clothes." Will put out his hand for her to grab. She looked at his hand then at him. His face was calm and understanding, he looked farmiliar. She couldn't tell what it was, but she felt she could trust him. She gave her his hand and they began to walk to the galley. "My name is Will Turner by the way. What's yours?"

"Rachel Masselle." she said shyly. Now she knew who he was. He was part of her favorite movie.

"Well, Miss Masselle it's nice to meet you." After Rachel had something to eat she was taken to a women named AnaMaria. AnaMaria led her to her cabin to see if there was anything that might fit her. She found a pair of light brown breeches and a white shirt. She had to cut them alittle to make them fit her.

"When we get to Tortuga we'll find a dress that you can wear."

"No way!" said Rachel. Ana was relieved of the thought that the child was a mute. It had been the first time she talked to her.

"You don't want a dress?"

"I hate dresses you can't do anything fun in them." Ana laughed.

"Well, then we'll find a pair of breeches that fit you and some shirts then."

"That's fine. I just don't like dresses." Ana turned to leave. "Thank you for the clothes." Rachel said. Ana nodded and then left the room. Rachel thought she might learn to like it here. Will came into the room.

"All set then?" Will asked. Rachel nodded. "Good the Captain wants to see you. Follow me please." Will led Rachel onto the deck the sun was bright. The crew was on deck working hard. However as they noticed the little girl that was following Will they all stopped what they were doing. Will led Rachel to the helm. There stood a man with black dreadlock's and beads that dangled from his hair. She recognized him in a minute.

"Captain Jack Sparrow!" she said in amazement. The captain grinned.

"So, you've heard of me?" he said proudly.

"Yes."

"Well, then you must also know that I saved your life that means you owe me." Will rolled his eyes. "So, ter pay me back your gonna have to either swab the deck's or cook." Rachel thought for a moment. She enjoyed cooking way more than she did cleaning.

"I'll cook."

"Good. Maybe you can give Gibbs a few pointers on cooking. He'll come and get you when it's time to start cooking. Oh and I think I have a little something that might interest you." He stepped to the side to reveal a dog that was standing behind him.

"EMY!" Rachel shouted. She threw her arms around the dog. Will smiled seeing how happy it had made her. Jack wasn't used to such emotional sights and felt a little uncomfortable. She stood up and then hugged Jack. "Thank you for saving me and my dog." Rachel said. Jack thought he felt uncomfortable when she was hugging the dog now he felt really uncomfortable.
