Released to Her Father
Chapter 26
"Oh, come on, Jack!" Will shouted exasperated at the pirate captain, "It's been nearly three days and you've hardly said a word the girl!"
"So?" Jack shrugged as he stared out the window in his cabin.
"So?" Will asked with eye brows raised, "I thought you loved Isabelle!"
"I do," Jack mumbled.
"Then why haven't you done something about it?"
"Like having strange gatherings with the crew?" Jack looked angrily to Will.
"That's not fair, Jack, I've already explained to you today that we're still trying to solve the last and final piece of the puzzle in order for the box to open."
"Yes, right," Jack rolled his eyes, "Well, ye never did bring forth to me what your little idea was at the end of the week."
"That was because our final preparation for our plan didn't work out as we had hoped at the end of the week. Only half of it came true," Will said in a rush before pausing and continuing, "And we've completely gone off topic. Why don't you tell her that you love her?"
"What for?" Jack looked back out the window, "She doesn't love me."
"How do you know?" Will asked thoughtfully.
"Even if she did," Jack sighed, "it wouldn't work."
"Why not?"
"She's a maiden, I'm a pirate… I would only break her heart."
Suddenly a heavy banging came from the door.
"Yes? Who is it?" Jack yelled.
"Just me, captain," Gibbs replied, "Ye best come out, our course is bein' interfered. She's flyin' French colors."
Hearing this, Jack quickly got up and burst out of his cabin, scaring Gibbs in the process.
"Jack!" Isabelle shouted as the pirate reached the top deck, "Jack, you have to stop this ship!"
"Why?" Jack asked surprised.
"Because my father is on board the other ship!" Isabelle cheered, "He's come for me!"
Jack looked from Isabelle to the on-coming ship in silence.
"Though, you better let me talk with the captain of that ship," Isabelle continued, "I don't want any harm to come to you or the crew because of me."
"Very well," Jack said before shouting to his crew, "Lower the anchor!"
The Pearl came to a sudden halt, rocking dangerously in the water. The French ship also came to a stop very close by.
"Put the plank for Miss Isabelle!" Jack bellowed to his crew who swiftly obeyed.
"Well, it was nice to have met you, m'lady," Jack said as he helped her up onto the board to cross over to the other ship, "My best wishes to you and your father."
With that, Jack let go and watched Isabelle make her way onto the French ship. She held her hand up and stopped the crew members from that ship to board the Pearl. Once she was safely on the other ship, Jack took the plank onto the Pearl.
"Alright, lads!" Jack roared at his crew, "Take up the anchor and let's make weigh!"
"But Jack!" Will cried out with Elizabeth and Gibbs following behind him, "What about Isabelle?"
"She's fine," Jack answered as he made his way below deck, "She's safe and sound with her father once again, just as I told her she would be."
"But Jack-" Elizabeth began but Jack had gone into his room and shut the door in the trio's faces.
