Hi guys! By the way, Jimbo's ship is called The Hornet. I'm terribly sorry if that's already the name of a ship, but i can't change it now. Although, there wasn't much point in naming it... teehee...
Johnny sat on the top bunk in his cabin, legs dangling over the side. He was frowning and glaring at the opposite wall. He was still angry at Ruby. It had been three days since their argument, and she was now ignoring him completely. And to make matters worse, Jack seemed to find it hilariously funny and laughed every time they passed each other.
There was a knock at the door.
"Jack says to come on deck, he wants t' show yeh something," Will said, pooping his head into the cabin. "And stop sulking." He added as Johnny got up and pushed past him.
"Johnny!" Jack grinned as Johnny came over to him. He was standing at the bow of the ship, and was staring at the horizon with a telescope. "Yeh can just about make out me ship." He handed Johnny the telescope.
"Where am I supposed t' be looking?" Johnny asked, holding it to his eye and seeing nothing. Jack moved the telescope a few inches to the left.
"About there." He said. Sure enough, there was a small black dot, in the shape of a ship, sitting on the horizon.
"What are we gonna do?" Johnny asked, handing back the telescope.
Jack grinned, as he held the telescope back to his eye.
"We're gonna catch up." He said, the grin turning evil, his eyes flashing.
Johnny felt a shiver run up his spine.
"Jack!" Will was running towards Jack and Johnny, a stricken look on his face. "Jack! Look behind you!"
"Where?" Jack turned sharply, dropping the telescope on Johnny's head.
"Out t' sea!" Will snapped as Jack was looking about the deck. Jack grinned.
"Righto, mate." Jack looked up. Behind The Hornet, clearly chasing them, and coming closer every minute, was The Steal Snitch. "Holy shit." Jack whispered.
Johnny, who had been rubbing his head, felt his eyes widen in shock.
"Father-?" Johnny got no further. The blast of a canon suddenly ripped through the air, straight towards The Hornet. Will through himself forwards and knocked Johnny out of the way. Unfortunately, the canon stuck home, and the main mast, complete with sails, was blasted into the sea. It also took with it several members of the crew.
"Shit!" Jack shouted from somewhere to Johnny's right.
"Johnny? Are you ok?" Will prodded his son.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Johnny replied, trying to stand up.
"Shit, John! Stay down!" Jack hissed suddenly, pulling Johnny down again. He landed painfully on his hip. "Where's Ruby?" He pulled Johnny over to face him. The boy suddenly noticed how scared Jack looked.
"I…I don't know. She was below deck last time-" He stopped as Jack took off, at a running crouch across the deck towards the hatch, where he disappeared to look for his niece.
Johnny saw Jimbo crawling towards them. He was bleeding from the head.
"Where's Ruby?" He demanded of Will. "Where's my daughter?" He shook Will's shoulders, looking scared.
"Jack's gone t' look for her," Will said, pushing Jimbo off him. "She'll be alright, Jim."
Jimbo, however, did not look satisfied.
"They're boarding the ship, Will," he whispered. Will glanced at Johnny. "They're gonna take us all prisoner. Cap'n Scarr's famous for not being kind t' his prisoners. If my daughter-"
"Jim! I've got 'er! She's fine, Jim!" Jack suddenly appeared from below deck, pulling Ruby up after him.
"Ruby!" Jimbo half jumped up, and hugged his daughter.
"Father-" Ruby said awkwardly, trying to push him away, glancing at Johnny.
"Father, what's going to happen to us?" Johnny asked Will, looking scared. Will swallowed.
"Nothing, son. We're gonna be alright." Will lied.
"No we're not! I'm not a child anymore! Father, tell me-" Johnny was cut off, as a huge, bald pirate suddenly grabbed him by the neck and pulled him away from the others.
"Johnny!" Will shouted, and leapt up, his sword in hand. The pirate laughed, and pulled out a pistol and held it Johnny's head.
"Shut up!" He said. "Now come quietly or you'll never see yeh son again. 'Cept maybe in hell…" He trailed off, a grin spreading over his gnarled face.
Will lowered his sword in defeat. Another pirate, smaller and skinner, but clearly just as strong, came and bound Will's hands and led him roughly over to The Steal Snitch. The bald pirate followed, as yet more pirates came.
Jimbo suddenly pulled out his sword and made a wild lunge at the nearest pirate, half cutting his left arm off. Blood squirted out as the pirate screamed and stared at his half-severed arm.
"Bind him!" Another pirate yelled, and suddenly half a dozen pirates were on top of Jimbo, tying his hands and punching the back of his head.
Ruby was screaming. Jack was trying to shield her behind him, although he knew he it was useless. There were too many pirates; he was outnumbered at least twenty to one.
Finally, Jimbo was tied and dragged away, by four or five burly pirates, and the injured one followed, cursing under his breath. Three remained. One of them pointed a pistol at Jack's head.
"Well, well, well. If it ain't the legendary Jack Sparrow." He said mockingly.
"Captain Jack Sparrow, if yeh don't mind." Jack snapped. Why did everyone insist on ignoring the fact that he was a captain, and did have his own ship? Well, it was rightfully his.
"I do believe your ship was taken away?" The pirate said, still mockingly. "Or is this your imaginary ship you're talking about now?" He grinned.
Jacks eyes narrowed.
"Come, come now, we don't have all day!" The other pirate said, and jumped forwards to bind Jack.
"No!" Ruby jumped from out behind Jack and brought her sword down on the pirate's outstretched hand. Half his fingers fell away. Immediately, a shot rang out, and Jack felt an explosion of pain in his left shoulder.
"Shit!" Jack shouted, as he stumbled backwards, clutching his shoulder.
"Jack!" Ruby whispered, wide-eyed. The pirate she had attacked grabbed her around the waist and held her still, while the third pirate bound her hands and gagged her. She was still screaming, though, until the fingerless pirate slapped her so hard her neck cracked.
"Don't touch her!" Jack roared, jumping up. He found himself face-to-face (hypothetically) with the barrel of a gun.
"Quiet now, and she won't be harmed," The pirate smirked. "Much." He added.
Jack gave a grunt of frustration, as his hands were bound and he was led roughly aboard The Steal Snitch.
He saw, standing at the wheel, with a very smug look on his face, Scarr. He was a beastly man; a deep scar (from which he earned his name) ran the length of his face, from his temple to his chin. He teeth were rotten and yellow, and his eyes were a dull grey. His nose was only half intact, and lumpy. His hair was grey and knotted, underneath a large hat, which was so dirty Jack could barely make out the colour. His right hand lay on the hilt of his legendary sword.
Jack couldn't help but shudder at the memory of that sword brushing against his flesh. Although it had only been for the small fraction of a second, the agony had been unbearable, and he had been screaming on the floor until someone threw him overboard. They hadn't expected him to live.
"In there!" The pirate holding him threw him into a cell with Will. He slammed the door shut and locked it. He walked away laughing.
Jack swore, as he saw Will was lying unconscious against the back of the cell.
"No…Will…Wake up!" Jack crawled over to his friend. He suddenly became aware of the pain in his shoulder. "Shit…" He murmured, as he fell unconscious.
Now remember people- REVIEW! Please, thank you! I love you all!
