Chapter 23
Once back on board they had Will safely stowed in his cabin Elizabeth told them that Will had ha a little too much rum and got into a fight over her with a big man, probably about 230 pounds.
"Awe darn." Mari said. "How come my brother gets into a fight with Jackson and I end up not seeing it? That's just my luck." Mari said.
After the ship was out on Open sea Mari walked to the head of the ship, which was turning out to be a key visit with her, and was surprised to see one of the new guys, John, was his name, standing there. She hanged course slightly and ended up on the port side of the head. John was a well built, stocky, muscled man with decent looks, unfortunately for him, he also though he was God's gift to women. He moved closer to Mari and put one arms behind his back.
"Nice night." He said casually, Mari just shrugged and leaned casually on the rail, letting the ocean water splash into her face. Jack came around the corner, Orion on his shoulder; the bird seemed to be gluing itself to him. When John decided to 'comfort' Mari and slid his arm around her waist, she gasped as his rough hands hit her unbandeged bullet wound.
The next thing John knew he had been bodily dragged by Jack down to the brig and thrown unceremoniously in a cell.
"Don't ever do that again!" Jack snapped glaring at him. Jack went up to the deck and into his cabin. Mari was still standing by the head of the ship stunned, everything had happened too fast for her to respond. Finally her brain started working again. But it was as confused as her feelings. She retreated to her cabin and flopped down on the bunk.
What had got into Jack? He had never been like this, first coming in and saving her sorry ass and now throwing a new crew member in the brig for just touching her. And why was he suddenly getting along with Orion? When they first started out He had tried to blast him, now they were almost inseparable. Mari felt a pang in her gut as she though this. What if they did become inseparable? And Mari wanted to change ships? She couldn't' leave Orion behind, if ever Mari had a true love other than the sea it was Orion. Love, there it was, that word pooping up again. Mari closed her eyes and decided to try an old trick that a herbalist had taught her. It was how to see your true love. She closed her eyes and though about the word love and what it meant. Then she tried to conjure up a picture of what she thought love would look like. The image in her mind was Jack's. She shook her head and tried again, it was still an image of Jack. Mari shook her head and snorted.
"Why do I care anyway? Love is just another mistake; it only leads to unbearable pain. And she didn't need it anyway. All she needed was freedom and the sea. She drifted to sleep with the rocking of the ship.
In her dreams she was searching for something, but it was always clouded and in chains. No matter how close she seemed to get it always moved farther away.
In his cabin Captain Jack sparrow was having the same problems.
