Chapter Ten: Men!
A few moments later, I heard Jack's voice. I smiled, they've gotten the ship. I stood up and then sat back down. I decided to wait a few moments to see if they would remember me or not. I then heard William talking.
"When I was a lad living in England, my mother raised me by herself. After she died, I came out here looking for my father." William said.
I looked to the floor. I felt bad for the boy; he hadn't no family here or anywhere that we knew of.
"Is that so?" I heard Jack say. I rolled my eyes.
"Just like the Commodore." I said to myself.
I then heard them argue about Will's father and then I heard Jack say something to Will about getting beat again. Surely then I realized they forgot about me. I frowned; I would just have to re-appear in front of them, is all I would have to do. Then I heard William, angry he was.
"You didn't beat me; you ignored the rules of engagement. In a fair fight, I'd kill you." Will said. I had to do something, and I walked out on deck.
"William Turner, I won't have you killing someone near in front of me." I said both men looked at me. I was angry.
"You! What are you doing here?" Jack asked. I looked at him and narrowed my eyes.
"You told me I could come. You didn't think I was stupid did you?" I said he made a face of saying, oh right.
"Oh, yes now I remember, you told me something happened aboard the Pearl…that'll have to wait a moment." Jack said and boosted Will with the sail out above open waters. I gasped.
"Pull him back in." I said. Jack looked at me.
"Not until he pays attention, Miss Swann." he said, then turned back to Will.
"Now, as long as you're just hanging there, pay attention. The only rules that really matter are these. What a man can do, and what a man can't do." He said, pausing to pick up Will's Sword. I just watched and listened not at all happily. He looked at me, then went on with his speech.
"For instance, you can accept that your father was a pirate and a good man or you can't. But pirate is in your blood, boy so you'll have to square with that someday. Now, me, for example. I can let you drown. But I can' bring this ship into Tortuga all by me onesy, savvy?" Jack asked, and then brought him back aboard the ship. Then, he pointed Will's sword at him but not the sharp part.
"So, can you sail under the command of a pirate or can you not?" Jack asked. I just stood there. Will took the sword and looked confused.
"Tortuga?" Will asked, Jack smiled, and to find it all, Jack's smile was beautiful.
"Tortuga." Jack said. I sighed and rolled my eyes.
"Men! They'll never change." I whispered and walked up to the port, edge of the ship in front. I looked out at the waters and seen dolphins. I smiled.
"You like fish?" I heard Jack asked. I turned and looked at him.
"They're not fish. They're mammals. And yes, I like them, they're beautiful. Captain Sparrow." I said and turned to face him. He nodded his head.
"Oh, I see. So, what's this news you wanted to tell me of the Black Pearl?" he asked me. I sighed.
"Oh, I just said that so I could come. But, that tall black man, he looked very scary…he slapped me across the face. Don't know his name, but it hurt." I said, he looked at me like he could kill and I don't know why.
"Hurt you, did he? I'll take care of him, once I'm finished with Barbossa. I told them not to mess with you"
"No you didn't. You told, those two men, they said nothing of it. Once we were aboard the ship. My sister has the trinket I think they need. I don't know what they want with it though. I'm sorry for the trouble you've been through, Jack. But I have a fear that it's just begun." I said and looked at him. He nodded.
"So do I, love. So do I." he said.
