Chapter 30

A New Look

"Isabelle," Jack moaned from out of the blue several long days later.

"Shh," Elizabeth said soothingly, "She's not here, but I'm glad to see that you are finally coming around. Gibbs said you would take a while."

"Isabelle," Jack repeated hoarsely, too stiff to move.

Elizabeth, ignoring Jack, took off out the cabin doors in search of Will and Mr. Gibbs.

"Feeling a bit better?" Will asked as he approached the bed with Elizabeth behind him.

"Aye."

"The wound is healin' well, captain," Gibbs said from the other side of the bed, "Ye lucky the man didn't twist the dagger once it was in ye."

Will and Elizabeth gave Gibbs an unappreciative look.

"Isabelle," Jack breathed out again before trying to move, "Isabelle."

"Just calm down, Jack," Will said as he put a hand to one of Jack's shoulders, "Isabelle's fine. She's with her father in their home. And we're anchored in a nearby cove. You can see her later, but first thing's first: you need to heal."

Knowing this was true but still a bit irritated, Jack rolled his eyes and stopped trying to move around.

"I want a new look," Jack whispered.

"What?" Jack's friends asked in confusion.

"I want a new look," Jack squeezed out again, "give me those clean clothes… change me hair… actually change all o' me."

"Come again, Jack?" Elizabeth asked, not being able to follow him.

"Wait, are you sure?" Will questioned, understanding what the pirate captain was feeling, "Are you sure you know what you're doing?"

"Aye."
