Chapter eleven
Will looked up sharply, there in the door way, his sister was leaning heavily against the doorframe. Will just stared at her in numb disbelief.
"Are you just going to stare at me or can you help me with my blasted ankle?" Mari said.
"Mari… Oh my God Mari you're alive." Will stammered and quickly strode over to her and helped her to a chair.
"Yeah, alive and free." Mari said as Will bandaged and re-splinted her ankle. Will smiled then hugged his sister as he finished the bandaging.
"I'm so glad to see your safe Mari. I thought I'd lost you again, that would have been unbearable." Will said quietly. Mari flushed red, unaccustomed to the affection.
"Will, you're starting to embarrass me. Enough with the mushy gushy stuff please. And I'd like to have my locket back if you please." Mari said, still the scarlet in the face.
Will pulled away and saw her face, he grinned and started laughing.
"Oh shut it1" Mari snapped, slugging him in the arm.
"I don't have your locket; I think Jack must still have it." Will said as he sopped laughing and rubbed his arm.
"Ok, I'll just get it from him then."
They both made their way back to the deck where Orion quickly landed on Mari's shoulder and the Monkey was getting attacked by numerous blasts of gunfire from Jack. The ship was once again on course and most f the crew had retreated to the bunks in desperate need of a rest. The only exceptions were Tim, Will, Captain Jack, Jack the monkey and of course, Mari and Orion. Tim began flushing slightly as Mari limped past him towards the captain, every time he thought about her he got butterflies in his stomach. It astounded him that someone as wild and free spirited as Mari could come off so beautiful.
"Ahoy there captain. Would you mind giving me my locket back?" Mari asked as she stood behind him and well out of firing range as the monkey scurried by on deck. Tim and Will quickly retreated to the sails and hopefully out of firing range as well.
"Hmm? Oh right your locket." Jack said offhandedly putting his pistol away. He reached into his pocket and withdrew the locket.
"Here you go love, mind; you might not want to lose something as precious as that." Jack said, implying that he had looked in it.
"Yes, and you might do well o keep your nose out of other people's business, captain. It might keep you alive." Mari said.
"Aye, so I've heard. But I prefer to live on the wild side; I just love waving at the tame moments as they pass by." Jack said looking into her light brown eyes with his darker eyes.
"Then I suppose we have something else in common captain. So here exactly are we heading?" Mari asked, not tearing her gaze away from his.
"It's a small island by the name of Isle de Skye. It's closer to the European waters, but is said to hold a good deal of loot. Sound interesting love?" Jack said.
"European waters generally pose a life threat to pirates, so yes that does sound like fun Captain." Mari said smirking.
