Tessi's P.O.V.


It was about nine when I woke up, which was late for me, although I liked to sleep in later, since I'm not a morning person, but because of school, I have been forced to become a type of a morning person, one who may hate mornings, but will tolerate them until the blessed afternoon gets here.

I sat up slowly, being careful of my stomach, and saw that Misty had buried her head under her pillow in a desperate attempt to stay asleep forever. Which was fine by me, because hopefully the longer she sleeps the nicer of a person she will be. I got out of bed and began searching for a brush, because I was about to chop off all of my hair if I didn't get most of the knots out before braiding it to keep it mostly neat. I looked around the room at places where I wouldn't have to bend over to check, and then when I didn't find a brush, I decided I would have to check the drawers.

I was in luck though, the first drawer I checked had a brush, so I quickly used it to brush out the rats nests in my hair before braiding it quickly and using a piece of the sheets to tie my hair at the end. After I finished my hair I walked out of the cabin and onto the desk, Jack was the only one up, or at least the only one on deck. Will was probably up in the rigging.

I walked up to Jack and said, "Anything you'd like me to do Captain?"

Jack looked over slightly from the helm and said, "You can help Will with tying down the sails."

I nodded and walked over to the mast where Will was and climbed up, he glanced at me and then said, "Can you hold down this sail here so that I can tie it before it comes loose?"

"Gladly." I reached over and held the sail tightly and tried not to release my hold as the wind flapped the sail underneath my grip. Will finished tying the knot as tightly as possible and we moved onto the next sail, we worked like that most of the afternoon, not really talking, but not in an awkward silence either. It was mid afternoon when we finally got back down onto the deck, Misty was up and was scrubbing the deck, I smiled at her and asked what Jack wanted me to do next.

"You can either take a quick break or help you're sister with the deck." He replied.

I was a little tired so I decided to rest for five minutes and then help Misty. "Hey, Jack?" I asked quietly, not wanting to distract him.

"Yes?" he asked not turning to speak to me.

"When are we getting to Tortuga?"

"A little after nightfall, love. The wind has finally picked up." Jack said, I could tell he was excited.

"Oh ok." I said. I wasn't really comfortable around Jack, not because I didn't trust him, because I did, I've seen the movie plenty of times because for a while it was the only thing that Elizabeth and Misty could agree on, until they found out about each other's love for a certain blacksmith turned pirate. And because of their obsession or love, depending on which of the three sisters you ask, I have seen the movie enough times to have it engraved into my skull that even though Jack is honest, he's a good man, and you can trust him with your life…as long as you don't strand him on a deserted island, or do something along those lines to betray his trust.

A few minutes later, I got up grabbed a rag out of the bucket and started scrubbing the wood along with her sister.


A/n: I know it was short, and I know that I took forever to update, and I'm very sorry. All the mistakes in the chapters have been fixed, that includes the double writing of Mr. Turner's background so, I'll try and update as soon as possible!
