It was a hot afternoon and the wind was still. Everyone gathered around at one end of the ship. They all circled around Abi and Pintel who were arm wrestling. You could see their vains popping out of their wrist. After five minutes of going back and forth, Abi finally beat the pirate. Pintel looked around "I let her win, I was being a gentleman." Everyone one started to laugh. Abi smiled "Good game. Anyone else want to try. Another pirate sat down and they were about to begin.

Ragetti came up behind them "Rose, Capt'n wants to see ya in his cabin." Rose looked at a opponet "Sorry mate. Someone can take my place." She got up and walked across the ship and into the captain's cabin. He wasn't in there yet, so she went to sit on the bed.

She slowly looked around the room, then she saw that the bedside table drawer was slightly open. Curiosity got the best of her and she opened it. Inside she saw her father's journal. She picked it up and held it in her hands. She heard the captain enter the room. She slowly looked up at him. He just stood by the door looking at her.

She got up looking at the book "How long have you kepted this from me?" He remained silent. "How long have you kepted this from me?" She said more demanding. "Since you have been with us." He said moving closer to her. Tear started in her eyes "How could you keep this from me? It's the only thing I have left of my father." She looked down at the old book.

Barbossa went over and put his arm around her, but she just moved away from him. "I was going to give it back to you but I I forgot, I was going to give it to you for your 18th year." Rose glared at him.

They were both silent. "I knew your father you know, he was a good man." Barbossa said as he sat down. Rose face softened "You knew him?" Barbossa nodded his head "Yes, he was captain of the ship. I was his first mate. He was a good pirate."

Abi arched her eyebrow "Pirate? No he was a merchant sailor." Barbossa shook his head "Nah, Not Captain Jack. He was all pirate. He would do anything for this ship and he died because of it. I did everything I could to save him." Abi looked at him, her eyes watery. "You wanted to see me." She said to change the subject. He stood up, "Aye, I did. I just wanted to know if you wanted brawl for practice." Abi looked at him and shook her head "Not know." She said and left the room.

Sorry for the short chapter, the next one will be longer, way longer. I promise. Thank you all for at the great reviews.
