Chapter eight
"MARI!" Will's shout echoed over the silent crew and ocean. The storm had ended but hung behind them as though admiring its destruction. The dust finally settled as the crew, Will and Jack in front, gathered around the fallen mast, praying that Mari had somehow managed to escape. But things looked very bleak for the crew's hopes.
"Mari? Mari!" Jack called her name several times, by now Orion had came back to the deck and was screeching wildly as he looked for his lady. Will was in stunned shock as he prayed that he hadn't lost his sister just as he founds her.
"Marieah!" He shouted, hoping, praying she would answer. Jack stood there, hoping to hear some, tough or insane comment from her; he had grown a liking towards the girl. And had always known she was special from the moment when she threw the man into him. Then, as he walked forward he stepped on something that let out a snap as he broke it. He looked down and saw, what had been Mari's splint.
"Captain, look at this. Wasn't she wearing it?" Tim asked, holding up Mari's locket. Will's stomach did about ah hundred back flips and front flips in about two seconds. Mari wouldn't part with that unless she knew it was too late. She knew she was going to die. Will thought and swallowed the lump in his throat. Jack took the necklace and turned to the crew.
"Mari knew the risks of the voyage and took them when she stepped onto the Black Pearl as part of the crew. She was a fine lass, and probably had more guts than any of us here. Before for the storm she came up and asked 'What are the chances of us pulling through with everyone alive and the ship in tact' I told her they were slim, though I was mostly referring to ship damage. Her reply to me was 'anything with half or less than half of a chance of survival is always a fun challenge.' And she smiled as she said it. Though we didn't know her very long, she had an interesting personality and probably would have been a valued member of the crew. But fate had other plans, now let's remember her as we carry out our duties." Jack said solemnly, though he didn't' know exactly where those words had come from he felt that they rang true. He retreated to his cabin to think. Will felt horrible, like there was nothing else worth living for, he too retreated to his cabin.
