Chapter Six- Going Home?
I let out a cry of relief as I see Pete walk into view. "Pete." I call out to him, he turns his head to look at me and I can see relief wash over his face.
"Are ye alrigh' Kristy?" He asks me in a mere whisper and I look at him with confusion on my face.
"Yes, where's Jack?" I ask and I look towards the stairs.
"I'm sorry, he's no' here, bu' he is coming." I look at Pete and tears begin to fill my eyes. "Captain didn' know how ta ge' ye back withou' bein' seen so since I wasn' seen by any of Glaces crew tha' is left, Captain told me ta ge' on as crew." He lets a smile spread across his face but it quickly disappears. "I've been 'ere fer four days Kristy; I didn' know if ye were goin' ta wake up, an' I wasn't allowed in the cell ta check on ye." Pete's eyes fall as my jaw drops, 'I have been unconscious for four days?' I am soon snapped out of my thoughts by Pete. "Kristy, Captain told me ta give ye this." I take the letter and glass of water away from Pete and wipe away the tears from my cheeks.
"Thank you Pete, you are kind to come and help save me." Pete grabs my hand and gives it a small squeeze.
"Take care of yerself Kristy; I will help ye as much as I can." Pete lets go of my hand and it falls heavily to my side. I watch Pete walk over to the far corner of the room and grab a bag of something heavy, and then he walks up the stairs, leaving me in silence once again. I sit down on the cold floor and open the letter, my eyes feel with tears as I look down at Jack's writing.
Kristy,
I love you so much; I am trying my hardest to get to you. Elizabeth sends her love; she thanks you for what you have done and so does Will. We all miss you and hope we can get you back soon. Keep safe and I will be there as soon as I can.
With all my love,
Jack
I read the letter several more times before I fold it up and place it in a tight place between the bars and the side of the ship so that it isn't noticeable. I run my hands through my hair and let out a hiss of pain at the gash on the side of my head. I take some of the water Pete gave my and pour a little onto the dress at the bottom, I take the wet cloth and gently clean the wound on my head. I finish drinking the water and feel somewhat better, "Jack, come for me soon" I say aloud to the suffocating silence around me. I lay down on the hard floor and Jack races through my mind before I am lulled to sleep by the sway of the ship.
"No, take me…" I scream at Glace, who has a pistol aimed at Jack's head. He turns and gives me an evil smirk and pulls the trigger. "NO!" I yell at the top of my lungs and I run to Jack and pick him up in my arms. Crimson trails down my arms and dress and I feel faint. "I love you Jack." I whisper, and before I know it a pistol is pointed at me and I gratefully accept the calming black that soon follows.
I wake with tears streaming down my face. "Oh Jack…" I whisper, I let the tears continue to fall before my world goes black again. Soon I am awoken by a sharp, stinging slap across my face, my eyes fly open and I glance up at Rob.
"Ge' up, the Cap'in wan's ta see ye." I glare at him as I stand up and he roughly grabs my arm and drags me out of the cell and up onto the deck. Once again I am met with crude comments and this time a few reach out and grab my backside, I pay no attention, for I have spotted Pete. He looks at me with sympathy in his eyes as I am led past him and into Glaces cabin. He throws me onto the bed and then smirks at me, "Now, ye be goo' this time." Rob says before he leaves the room and not even ten seconds later Glace is entering the room, this time there is no eating, no words spoken between us, he just simply comes over to the bed and pins me down with his arms and begins to place sloppy kisses all over my body. He soon removes my clothing and I feel the tears sting my eyes, but I won't let myself cry, I remain emotionless.
I feel him enter me and I bite my lip to keep myself from screaming. I feel my whole body tense up and soon I can hear grunts and moans escaping his mouth and I try not to cry. When he is finished he slaps me hard across the face but still no expression crosses my face. "Ye are a worthless bitch." He says loudly and then slaps me again; my face is now on fire and I can taste the blood in my mouth. He laughs, then does up his pants and leaves the room, I quickly grab my clothes which had been carelessly discarded and I put them on. I sit on a chair at the table and bring my legs up, wrapping my arms around them and sit staring at the wall in silence. 'What if I get pregnant?' I think to myself 'What if something goes wrong and Jack can't get to me?' I continue to let my mind wander. Slowly the room gets darker and darker and soon it is well into the night and I hear the door creak open. I spin around and find Pete standing with his head barely peaking around the door he catches my eye and enters the room.
"Glace sent me in' here to ge' ye bu' I wanted ta make sure ye were dressed first. Holy hell Kristy, did he do tha' ta ye?" He asks referring to my bruised cheek, I nod and stand up, but dizziness takes over me and I fall back into the chair.
"Kristy, are ye alrigh'?" Pete asks as he comes to help me stand.
"I haven't eaten in four days…I'm starving." Pete looks at me with worried eyes and starts to walk towards the door.
"Aye, I will ge' ye some food as soon as I ge' ye back ta the brig." I nod my head and Pete takes me out of the cabin and onto deck, there are only six crew members left on deck, all of them standing watch.
"Where is everyone?" I ask as I look around and listen, but I don't hear anything. It's at that moment that I realize that we are docked in a secluded area. "How long have we been here Pete?" I ask as I look around, nothing but rocks and high cliffs.
"Abou' an hour." He says as he helps me down the stairs and once we reach the bottom he takes the keys from his waist and helps me inside. "Ye know I would keep ye ou' bu' if Glace comes back he could take me off 'is crew an' then we would be back at square one." I nod my head as I sit down on the hard floor. "I will be righ' back with some food." Pete says and I watch him walk away, now that I am left alone, knowing that the Glace and the crew are gone, I let the tears fall from my eyes. 'I just want to go back and be with Jack…' I think to myself 'I want to go back to the Pearl and never leave Jack's arms.' Pete returns carrying a tray of food and a glass of water. I take the water from him and take a drink.
"Kristy, he will come." I nod my head and a few more tears escape my eyes and fall down my cheeks. I take some of the grapes and slowly begin to eat them, the sweetness making me want more but instead I eat the large piece of bread. After the bread I feel full so I take one more drink of water and look up at Pete.
"Thank you for coming Pete, it means so much to me." I give him a small smile which he warmly returns.
"Jus' rest Kristy, the Captain said tha' he would try an' take the ship within two weeks time an' it's already been six days." I nod my head, eight days is a long time to wait, many more opportunities for me to be raped and beaten. "Kristy I know wha' ye are thinkin' bu' soon ye will be back with the Captain, he is tryin' his hardest ta ge' here." I smile, Pete is right, Jack is trying his hardest, he risked one of his best crew members to come and save me, and I know he will get here soon. I yawn suddenly and my eyes water, I hadn't realized how tired I was.
"Thank you for everything Pete, I think I will go to sleep now." Pete nods and goes to leave but I stop him. "Pete, how long are we staying docked at port?" The longer we stay the better for me, Pete, and the Pearl.
Pete smiles and I know that he is happy. "Four days, Glace said he won' be back fer three bu' he could come back ta check on things." I smile, yes, that will be good for everyone. I think to myself as Pete leaves the cell, locking the door behind him. I breath a sigh of relief as I am left in the quiet, 'Three days, left in peace' I think to myself, I soon fall asleep with a small smile on my face.
I wake the next morning to the sound of Pete's voice. "Kristy, I brough' ye breakfast." Pete tells me as he unlocks the cell doors and brings in a tray with enough food for two people. "I though' I would eat with ye this mornin'." I glance up at Pete as I rub the sleep from my eyes, he doesn't know how much I need good company. He sets the tray down in front of us, today its eggs, toast, and a glass of water for each of us.
"Thank you Pete." I say as I take one of the plates and begin to eat, Pete soon follows me and begins to eat himself. "How is it Pete? I mean having had to leave the Pearl and come here?" I look down at my food and try my hardest not to cry.
"Well, I definitely like Captain Sparrow better, an' I 'ave more friends on the Pearl, an' well…everythin' is better on the Pearl." I see Pete gaze off and for some reason I get the feeling that he is thinking of a certain something.
"Pete, you know you can tell me anything right?" I see Pete nod his head and he looks up at me with a smirk on his face.
"Aye, bu' if I tell ye, ye 'ave ta promise no' ta tell anyone." I quickly nod my head and wait for Pete to tell me his secret.
"Well I…I, I like Anamaria." A smile quickly spreads across my face and I let out a little laugh, they really would be a perfect couple.
"Pete that's wonderful, have you told her?" I look in Pete's eyes and he quickly looks away.
"No, I am …afraid to." I place a comforting hand on Pete's shoulder.
"Just tell her Pete, what is the worst that could come from it? What if you never tell her and you not only break your heart, but hers also?" Pete looks up at me and he gives me a worried smile.
"Will ye help me se' up a nice way ta tell 'er, a nice dinner or somethin'?" I give a small laugh and smile.
"Of course I will Pete." 'But first we have to get off this stupid boat' I think to myself. I finish the rest of my breakfast and place the plate and glass of water back on the tray. "Thanks for breakfast Pete, and for eating with me." Pete gives me a small smile and stands up taking the tray with him.
"I will be back la'er, I can' stay down 'ere too long they migh' suspec' somethin'." I nod my head and watch Pete lock up the cell door and go back up the stairs. 'Left in silence again…' I think to myself. 'At least my period has stopped…' I gaze off into the darkness and my mind wanders off to Jack and the Pearl. 'Oh Jack, I want to be with you." I let tears roll down my cheeks; I lie down on the floor and cry myself to sleep.
"Kristy, I brough' ye yer dinner." I sit up and glance around me, I find Pete opening the cell door carrying a tray. I rub my eyes as Pete sets the tray down in front of me, there is a plate with meat, some potatoes, and bread on it along with a glass of water. "I didn' wake ye earlier, Glace came by bu' I told him ye 'ad passed ou' again an' he believed me so he didn' come ta check on ye." I nod my head and begin to eat the food on the plate, which is surprisingly good.
"Thank you Pete, did he say when he would be coming back?" Pete smiled at me and I knew it was good news.
"He 'as business on the other side of Por' an' he won' be back fer four days." I let a smile spread across my face, an honest happy smile. The only word that comes to me is, safe. I am safe from being touched, begin raped, and being hit by Glace for another four days. I let my mind wander a bit and begin to wonder 'How is Jack going to find us if we are docked in a hidden cove?' I look up at Pete with worry in my eyes.
"Pete, how is Jack going to find us?" Pete gives me a small smile.
"We won' be 'ere fer too long, an' by tha' time we will only 'ave three days until the Captain tries somethin'." I nod my head, four days less of rape is four days less of rape.
"Thank you Pete, for everything I don't think I could have held on this long without you, and without knowing for sure that Jack was coming." Pete nods his head and gives me a warm smile.
"Jus' take care of yerself Kristy, they all wan' ye back on the Pearl."
"They want you back too." I tell him as I let a playful smile spread across my face which he quickly returns. He stands to leave taking the tray with him and then he exits the cell, locking it behind him.
"I will see ye later." Pete says and soon he has left my sight. I feel bored; there is nothing to do when you are locked up in a cell with nobody around to talk to. I soon let my mind wander and it immediately goes to the question that I am dieing to know, 'Will I become pregnant?' This question races through my head over and over. 'What will happen? Will Jack leave me?' I soon get frustrated and stand up and begin to pace the cell. 'Jack is going to leave me and then what? I have nothing here, Jack, Will, Elizabeth, and the Pearl are all that I have here, I would have to go back home.' I start to feel sick to my stomach and soon I feel like I can't breathe. I make myself sit down on the floor and take deep breaths, in and out. Soon my breathing becomes even again and I tell myself to calm down. 'If Jack and I have had a hard time maybe I won't get pregnant, unless Jack is the one with the problem.' I soon feel hot tears sting my eyes. 'I don't know what and the hell to think anymore.' I lie down and stare blankly at the side of the ship, my mind racing so fast that I don't have time to dwell on one though before the next one is entering my mind. I lay staring at the wall for close to an hour before I feel my eyelids slowly begin to close.
Three days have passed peacefully, no sign of Glace and Jack will be coming soon. Everyday the same question races through my mind, 'Am I pregnant?' I dwell on this question for hours, nothing I think of ends up happy. I always think that Jack will leave me, that is the worst thought I have, I don't know what I would do if this happened. Every time I think of Glace, I think of a new way to harm him, everyone sounding better than the last, but as long as I can go back to Jack, I will be happy. I peer out of the small hole in the wood and gaze out at the dark ocean water, the moon creating a silver streak across the top. 'This would be wonderful if I was back on the Pearl.' I think to myself as I sit back down on cold floor. Pete brought down some blankets for me two nights ago but I have to give them back before Glace arrives. Slowly, ever so slowly my eyes start to close; I don't want this night to end. "Please find me Jack…" I whisper to the darkness as my eyes close and I slip into a nightmare filled sleep.
"No, Jack I didn't want to become pregnant, you of all people should understand that!" I yell at Jack at the top of my lungs. Five months pregnant with Glaces child, I dread waking every morning. I thought Jack would understand, he wasn't this angry in the beginning but now, everyday his anger seems to intensify.
"An' ye expect me ta rise the child as me own? An' not care tha' it is Glaces?" I feel the tears start to run down my cheeks and I glare at Jack.
"It's not as if I wanted this Jack, I would kill to have your child instead of his but this is reality Jack, we can't change it." I wipe the tears from my cheeks and with one last glance I leave the cabin and walk up on deck. I stand and gaze out at the moon lit waters and close my eyes, taking in a deep breath. The quiet is soon shattered by a gun shot; I turn and run back to the cabin, fearing what I may find inside. As I push the door open I am faced with my worst fear, I am once again alone in this world.
"Kristy…Kristy, wake up." I open my eyes and find Pete standing over my gently shaking my shoulders. I feel the tears on my face and I quickly sit up. "Are ye alrigh' I could hear ye yellin' from up on deck." I look around me, there is light shining through the cracks and I know that it is mid morning.
"I just had a horrible dream." I say with a shaky voice, this by far has been the worst dream that I have ever had. I glance up at Pete and see the worried expression on his face.
"Ye sure ye are alrigh'." He asks me again, this time I nod my head. His expression changes from worried to upset. "He will be comin' back in a few 'ours, I'm sorry if I knew there was a way ta stop 'im I would do it." I nod my head and take the bowl of oatmeal from Pete, and slowly I begin to eat. Pete quietly sits in the corner; he plays with his hands and never looks away from them. "I'm sorry I can' help ye…with Glace an' all." I feel tears spring to my eyes and I nod my head in response.
"Pete, don't worry about it. It's not your fault I'm here, it's Glaces and he will pay." Pete looks up from his hands and gives me a small smile.
"Aye, tha' he will." I feel somewhat better and I finish the rest of my breakfast and then hand the bowl back to Pete. "Why don' ye sleep, I'm sure ye won' be able ta do a lot of tha' once Glace gets back." I nod my head and lie down on the cold, hard floor. That's all I seem to do any more, eat and sleep. I want to go back to the Pearl and spend my days with talk and laughter and most importantly Jack. I miss that man more than anyone could know, I don't feel right without him, and I feel empty, like I will never be happy again. I close my eyes and hope that sleep will come, and soon my wish is answered.
I am awoken by the sound of heavy footsteps on the stairs and soon Rob comes into view. "Ah, ye be awake, good the Cap'in 'as requested yer company in 'is cabin." He lets a disgusting smirk spread across his face and he pulls me out of the cell and begins to run his hands over my body, I quickly try to push him away.
"No…stop…I said stop." I yell as I slap him hard across the face, I let a small smile appear on my face. I don't have long to celebrate before his fist connects with my stomach and I fall to the ground gasping for air.
"Now, ye will be a good girl an' come with me an' not make a sound." He roughly pulls me up by my hair and still finding hard to breath he leads me up on deck, but he is now dragging me by the arm. Once we reach Glaces cabin he throws the door open and throws me inside and I run into the table. "Stay in 'ere Cap'in will be in la'er." And with that he slams the door shut, leaving me alone in the cabin. I glance around, everything looks the same as last time the only difference is this time there is food on the table. A plate of meat, vegetables, fruit and bread cover the table, as I look at the food my stomach grumbles and I am tempted to take some grapes but at that moment the door swings open and Glace walks in.
"I hear ye be given Rob problems, ye will regre' tha' missy." Glace walks over to me and roughly grabs my arm and pushes me down into a chair at the table. I rip my arm away from his grasp, earning myself a slap across the face; I don't cry out or even flinch this only makes him angrier. He reaches out and takes me by the arms and drags me out of the chair and towards the bed, the whole time I am kicking and screaming. "Scream all ye wan' nobody cares, ye should know tha' by now." I know that he is right but I still scream and kick my legs, I feel my hand connect with his face and I drag my nails down his cheek, drawing blood. He struggles to gain control of me but he soon manages to pin me down and he pulls out a knife. "Ye think ye are funny? How 'bout this fer funny." He says and he drags the knife down the front of my dress, he cuts the dress and chemise and the blade barely runs across my skin. He draws very little blood, but from the look on his face I know he wants to draw more. He soon removes my dress and leaves me lying naked under his body.
A sharp intake of breath is the only thing I allow to escape my lips as he drags the knife down the side of my body, this time drawing more blood. I look him in the eye and watch as he lets an evil smirk spread across his face. He quickly removes his clothes and lies down naked on top of me and I hiss as he enters me, his thrusts rough and cold. I let a single tear fall down my cheek and I feel him release and I silently pray that no child will come from this. I am snapped from my thoughts by a rough knock at the door.
"Cap'in we need ye up on deck, there be a problem." Glace lets out a frustrated growl and pulls his pants and shirt back on and quickly leaves the room. I slowly grab the sheet and tie it around myself, covering as much of my body as possible. I don't even want to look at the cut along my side, but I can feel the blood beginning to run down my side. I can hear yelling and heavy footsteps on the deck and soon Glace is entering the cabin. "Well, it looks as if ye be havin' a visitor with ye tonigh'." I let a shudder run through my body and hope that this person will be in another cell. He looks me up and down and gives a small laugh. "Give me the sheet." He says as he puts his hand out towards me.
I glare at him and slowly remove the sheet from around my body and place it in his hand. "I request something to wear." I say with a smug expression on my face as I fold my arms in front of my chest. Glace gives me a small smirk and I know that he is up to something.
"If ye wan' somethin' ta wear then ye will 'ave ta kiss me first." I glare at him, kiss him or walk in front of the entire crew naked. 'What do I do?' I think to myself. 'I really don't want to kiss him, but I don't want to have to walk on deck and be stuck in a cell with nothing to wear.' I let my mind continue to dwell on the choices for what feels like hours. 'He didn't say where I have to kiss him.'
"Do I have your word on that?" I ask as I look at him with a disgusted expression.
"Aye darlin', ye kiss me an' I will give ye somethin' ta wear." I am screaming in my head as I walk towards Glace, I can smell sweat and brandy on him and I feel my stomach turn. I quickly kiss him on the cheek and pull away.
"Can I have my clothes now?" I ask and I am completely satisfied by the look of confusion on his face. He glares at me and walks to an old trunk; he pulls out an off white chemise and hands it to me. I quickly take the garment from his hands and pull it on; this one is tighter fitting around the chest, and on the arms and it hangs closer to my body the whole way down. 'Well its better than nothing.' I think to myself as Glace roughly grabs me by the arm and drags me out of the cabin and into the darkening night. I notice Pete standing next to the mast and he gives me a worried glance and I feel my stomach drop. 'This can't be good.' I think to myself as Glace leads me down the stairs, and once we reach the bottom I am relieved to find that there is no one in my cell. Glace opens the door and throws me in and for the first time I notice a man sitting on the floor in the cell across from mine. His eyes are open and he is staring at me but he says nothing, I feel a little uncomfortable.
"Are ye really married ta Jack Sparrow?" I look at him and can tell that he is asking an honest question, there is no smirk on his face.
"I am why do you want to know?" For the first time since I have been on this ship one of Glaces crew is attempting to have an honest conversation with me.
"Is he goin' ta come fer ye?"
"He might." I don't want to tell him that Jack is coming in case he tries to warn Glace.
"Ye can tell me, Glace is a bastard, I want him dead." His voice drops at the end and I have to strain to catch his words.
"What did he do?" I ask he now has my complete attention.
"Tha' business tha' Glace 'ad across Port a couple of days ago, well…he ran inta me wife, an' after he 'ad his way with 'er…he killed her." I let a small gasp escape my mouth and I feel my stomach turn. 'What if he kills me next?' I can hear shuffling and I notice that the man is now standing next to the bars of his cell. "Mrs. Sparrow, if ye le' me help ye, we can both ge' off this ship alive." I let my mind wander and I know that if I am not careful Glace will kill me.
"How do I know that I can trust you?" He reaches inside of his pocket and pulls out a small ring and a doll. He holds them in his hands for a moment and I can see his eyes begin to fill with tears.
"Me name is Sam Hudson…" He pauses before continuing, holding back tears. "I 'ave a daughter an' I had a wife named Jessica. This doll is fer me daughter Hannah, she wasn' with Jessica when Glace go' her. An' this is Jessica's weddin' ring." He holds up the small gold ring and then holds it tightly in his hand. "Me daughter an' this ring are all I 'ave left…" He holds the ring out towards me. "For me trust ye can take this ring an' keep it until we are both in safety, ye 'ave my word tha' I will no' cross ye." I take the ring from his hand and place it on my right hand. 'He seems to be telling the truth but pirates know how to lie.' I think to myself as I watch him put the small doll back into his pocket. "Please Mrs. Sparrow, le' me help ye an' yer husband, if ye won' help me at least help me daughter." I feel tears spring to my eyes and I try to keep them in.
"My husband is coming…he should be here in four days time." I pause and I can feel the lump in my throat loosen. "Pete, the member of Glaces crew, actually is crew on the Black Pearl, Jack sent him here to help me and it will be easier when Jack comes if he has somebody on this ship, other than me." I look at Sam and can see the amused expression on his face.
"Yer husband is a smart man, I will 'elp ye in any way tha' I can." He holds his hand through the bars and I reach out and shake his hand. 'I hope I am doing the right thing.' I think to myself as I let go of his hand and give him a small smile. I go and lie down in the back corner of the cell, 'Four days Jack, just four more days.' My mind races with thoughts of Jack before I slowly drift off to sleep.
For the next two days the same thing seemed to happen, Rob would come and wake me up, usually by kicking me or yelling, then I am led to Glace's cabin. The first day, I fought, I kicked, screamed, punched, and scratched, but nothing seemed to work. On the second day when I tried to fight he simply pinned me down and took my wedding ring, along with Jessica's. I was furious I managed to get one of my legs free and I connected my knee with his groin, bad idea. After he regained his composure he beat me, he slapped me, kicked me, and once again he pulled out a knife. This time he dragged the knife along my right side, the same as before, but this time he drew more blood, he then took the knife and dragged it across the entire length of my left palm. After he had finished with me he left me alone in his cabin and I set to work. I quickly found a bottle of brandy and poured it onto a strip of the bed sheet that I had torn off, and I cleaned my cuts. I then bandaged my hand and tried my best to wrap some of the cloth around my torso.
I managed to leave his cabin fully clothed every time, always in the same old chemise, but it is better than nothing. Sam and I talk every chance we get, about our lives, what we want to do with the rest of it, but mostly he talks about Hannah. She seems like an adorable child, he says that she is five and has light blonde hair, green eyes, and chubby cheeks. He listens to my fears and problems and with every passing moment he becomes a closer friend. He asks me if I know what Jack's plan is, how he is going to take the ship from Glace, and I have to give him the honest answer of 'I have no idea'. It worries me that I don't know what is going to happen, 'What if I mess everything up?' Sam reassures me and tells me not to worry, that from what he has heard about Jack, he will have a brilliant plan and everything will work out. 'I just hope he's right.' I think to myself before I lie down on the hard floor. 'Two more days Jack…please come then, don't make me wait any longer.'
Five times, five times this man has touched me in ways that I have only allowed Jack to. I lie on the messy bed and wrap the sheet around my naked form, 'Tomorrow, tomorrow this will all end. All you have to do is go to sleep and when you wake up it will be tomorrow.' I keep telling myself this but no matter how hard it is I force myself to stay awake, I know that Glace will come back soon to take me to my cell and I want to be awake when he comes. Today had been the same as yesterday, he managed to pin me down and this time he beat me for no reason, I didn't fight back, I lay on his bed emotionless, limp, and it made him angry. He slapped me across the face a few times and I have about seven random bruises on my body from where he either punched or slapped me. It is pitch black outside and for some reason I feel uneasy, like something is going to happen, for the better I hope. I am snapped out of my thoughts by the call from the watch in the crows nest.
"Cap'in, there be a ship, an' their closin' in on us, fast." I jump from the bed and run to the window. I try to peer out but my heavy breathing keeps fogging up the glass. Once I finally gain control of my breathing I manage to see out of the window and what I see nearly makes me faint.
