That was how it went for the next few weeks. Harry was getting used to having the crew around but he was still
pretty worried about Cassie. One day, while he was making dinner, he heard a knock on the door. In walked
the Captain. "Emerald," he said, "We are approaching land so we can get some supplies. I want you to stay on
board, savvy." "Savvy," Harry said back. He got the name Emerald Eyes because of their deep hue and the fact
they looked like emeralds.
Harry quickly finished his prep work before going out on deck again. Harry had changed from before he left.
His hair was now longer and reached his shoulders. It even covered his scar. He grew a few more inches tan
from being inside so often. He looked up and saw a black form in the crows nest. He figured it was still S. He
still hadn't met him yet, but he did hear a few stories from the time he asked about him.
Flashback
It was a week after Harry got on the ship when he asked his question. "What's S like anyway?" Jack thought
about it. "We found him on an island around June. Doesn't talk much or for that matter come down. Anyway
when he does come on one of our ... events he can somehow outdo all of us. It's strange but it's almost like
magic in a way. Anyway, we only take him when we go somewhere big."
End Flashback
Harry ran back down and got an extra loaf of bread. He decided now was as good a time as any to try. He
took each step one at a time before finally reaching the top. He looked out and saw a gorgeous view. Looking
around, it was almost as if S had disappeared completely. "Yes," a voice from behind him said. He turned
around and got his first look at the pirate. "I was just wondering if you were hungry. Brought you a loaf of
bread," Harry said handing it to him. He was wearing a long hood over his head for some reason (wasn't he hot)
but other than that he wore a peasant shirt and black pants with a sword at his side. The man took the bread
and gave Harry a piercing look. "Have we met before," he asked. "Not likely, I've only been here about a month
and you've never come down." He began eating the bread and looked out at the sea. "They should be coming
back soon," S said. Harry nodded his head and went to climb back down. "Oh and lad," S started. Harry
looked again. "Thanks for the bread." Harry smiled and climbed all the way back.
Later that night, Jack asked Harry what he did while they were away. "I went and visited S," he said. "You
mean you actually went up and had a conversation with him," Jack said surprised. "Well I wouldn't call it a
conversation as I only gave him a loaf of bread," Harry said smiling. Jack didn't ask him about it anymore but
just nodded his head whispering something to Gibbs.
The next morning Harry found out what it was. "Today we'll be practicing sword fighting," Jack said. Harry's
eyes lit up. This was what he had been waiting for. "We're going to be going into my cabin though to keep away
from prying eyes," Jack said leading him away. Once inside he closed the door and went to his closet and took
out a wooden sword. "Wouldn't want you to hurt yourself so soon," Jack said handing it to him. First they began
with some easy footwork before having a long talk about balance. "You did pretty good for your first try," Jack
said as Harry sat on the ground panting. Jack left the room then and Harry left soon afterwards. That night at
dinner though, something extraordinary happened.
Sorry about the long wait. That was fun wasn't it. Oh my god, a cliffhanger. Hahahahaha. Anyway, I hope you liked it. Review Please
