Chapter 26
Mari woke from her bed with a jolt. Orion was screeching insanely and there was a shrieking from by the door. Orion was attacking someone. Mari grabbed her dagger from the dresser and shouted
"Orion move!" Orion flapped out of the way and Mari saw who he had been attacking. It was another finely dressed woman. But not Elizabeth, this woman had long blonde hair trailing down and framing her face. She had blue eyes and frosty cheeks.
"Ok, no means to be rude but who the heck are you?" Mari asked, dagger half raised.
"Oh, my name is Sarah. I am a friend of Miss Swann's. Your ship picked me up from port early this morning." Sarah said.
"What time is it now?"
"A little after noon." Sarah said innocently. Mari swore and sheathed the dagger in her boot and flew out the door, Orion behind her. Jack was going to keelhaul her for sure. Her watch second watch was due at eight sharp. She ran into jack as she was about to climb the rat lines.
"There you are. Where were you?" Jack asked.
"I uh, overslept." Mari said.
"You're lucky we picked up two new crew members or it would have been really bad for you, love." Jack said. Mari just nodded then climbed the rigging to unfurl a caught sail. After the bell rang for her watch to end she slid don the mast and walked to the bow of the ship. She leaned over the railing with a heavy sigh. Part of it was because she had been running on being hyper and anxious energy and the other part was because of the problem with Jack. She wanted to tell him, but she didn't want to get hurt.
"Um, excuse me." Sarah said from behind her. Mari jumped and turned.
"Oh, hi. Um, about earlier I'm sorry. I just needed to get to work. I was late on my watch. My name is Mari by the way." Mari apologized, holding out her hand.
"Oh, that's ok. I figured something was wrong when you said that, um, word." Sarah said sheepishly.
"Sorry, I guess you're not used to hearing that kind of language. So you're Elizabeth's friend huh?"
"Yes, we've been friends for quite some time. But there's a certain man I want to befriend before this is over." Sarah said, moving over to the rail and glancing around nervously.
"Oh, well I'm afraid you're a little late." Mari said.
"Oh really? So you are his girlfriend then. That's strange, Will said e didn't have a girlfriend. Mari looked taken aback.
"Um, who are we talking about again? I thought it was Will." Mari asked, confused.
"Why, the Captain, he is so handsome and debonair." Sarah said. Mari stood in stunned silence. Half of her wanted to push Sarah overboard and the other half thought the woman was insane.
"Um, which captain? Mari asked, just in case she misunderstood.
"Captain Jack Sparrow, captain of the Black Pearl.
