Chapter 2
An Honest Pirate
Elizabeth's POV
"Barbossa, where are we going?" I ask as I enter his quarters on The Red Scarlet. (Tia Dalma's ship)
"We, my dear Elizabeth are traveling to Tartoga. To find more crew members and then" He pauses. "To the ends of the ocean and back again."
"Well, that's reassuring." Gibbs stated sarcastically.
"Don't mock me Gibbs. I know that you may not like me and you are not the only one, but I am the captain of this ship and you will not mock me again. Now many of you may be asking yourselves why I, captain Barbossa, am trying to save Jack Sparrow, well I will…" I cut him off.
"It's Captain Jack Sparrow" I said swiftly.
"Yes, as I was saying. Why am I trying to save Captain Jack Sparrow, well I will tell you. Jack and I go back as far as his first year on the Pearl when he became Captain. Jack helped me find the only women I have ever truly loved. So in a matter of speaking I actually owe Jack something, which many of you may not believe considering I did lead a mutiny against him, but before he was marooned on that bloody island, he helped me. So I believe that looking for him would make us square." Barbossa concluded his story making the whole room silent.
"But you're a pirate. Why do you want to be square with Jack, you are both pirates?" I inquired slowly
"I may be a pirate, but I am also a man of honesty." Barbossa chuckled and the crew knew he was joking.
With all this talk of Jack I could feel the tears beginning to stream down my face. I left the room without another word. I explored the ship, walking below and finding officer's quarters. I guessed that The Red Scarlet had once been a member of the royal fleet of England. I chose one of the rooms as my own, as I was the only female on the ship and I did not want to share quarters with the men, again. As I entered the room I lied down on the hammock and fell into a deep sleep.
