Chapter 9

Clara was still in the brig the next day, Dad figured that Clara was mad with him for some reason and had decided to let her cool off, little did he know that his wench was snivelling in his own brig.

I grabbed some water and some bread and a few apples from the galley and headed down to the brig.

"Morning Clara" I said brightly

"Go to hell" she spat

"Oh dear, here you go, its breakfast, Dad might find you today, he thinks your mad and avoiding him"

"I am mad!" she shouted at me. She picked up an apple and threw it at me. I wasn't prepared for this so it hit me on the forehead. I noticed Clara laughing at me so I walked off.

"Don't expect any visitors or food until tonight Clara, this is a little joke the crew and I are playing on you, lord knows you deserve it, so no one from the crew will get you out" I said as I walked up the steps. I heard Clara scream from frustration and grinned.

………………………………………………………………………………….

"LILY SPARROW!" Dad roared.

Oh no

I'm in trouble

"Yes Dad?" I called down from the crow's nest. Dad was stood at the bottom with a shaking Clara in his arms.

"Get down here now!" knowing I had to obey him; I grabbed onto a rope and swung down. I gracefully landed just in front of him and Clara. I looked at Clara, for some reason I saw bruises and blood covering her face; her clothes were drenched with blood. I took a step back and blinked, but when I looked at her again the blood was gone.

"What inspired you to lock Clara in the brig for A DAY AND A HALF?" Dad shouted

"Her face" I muttered, Clara must have heard me, for the next thing I know I felt a sharp stinging on my cheek and Oliver came rushing up to us, followed by Elizabeth and Will.

"Dad!" I screamed, expecting him to shout at Clara and kick her off his ship for hurting me.

"No Lily, you deserved it this time, I love you and Clara but Clara didn't deserve being locked in the brig, lass, you'll have to settle this between you" he said. He looked sad, I could see it in his eyes, but beyond the sadness I saw love, he did truly love this woman. But I hated her.

"You bloody wench!" I shouted

"Don't talk to me like that!" Clara shouted back. Dad took a step backwards and Clara stepped towards me. I stepped forward as well. I wasn't afraid of Clara, she wasn't afraid of me anymore, I could see it in her eyes, and she was blinded by anger. I had just discovered who she really was; the woman from Tortuga was standing before me.

"I'll call you what I like, you're on my ship, sleeping with my dad, so what gives you the right to tell me what to do!"

"the fact that you ripped up all my clothes, threw most of them overboard, taunted me since I arrived, you take the twins off me every chance you can get and you locked me in the brig for a day and half leaving me scared out of my wits!" she yelled in my face. I didn't have time for this. I punched her hard across the face.

"Add that to you're list of reasons you wench!" I yelled

"Oh I'm going to get you back Lily Sparrow, just you wait!"

"Bring it on" I sneered; I turned on my ankle and walked off to the galley, followed by the entire crew, leaving Dad and Clara hugging on deck.

I sat down in the galley and nursed my hurt fist.

"Well done Lily" said Oliver as he sat next to me. We embraced each other for a while, waiting for the crew to sit down.

"Yeah!" cheered the crew, even the twins made some sort of noise.

"Lily?" asked Will

"yes?" I replied

"How come…when you first got down from the crow's nest…how come you stepped back from Clara? You looked like you'd seen a ghost" he said

"I know who she really is now" I said.

"What?" asked Oliver

"Listen…" I began, and I told them of my first meeting with Clara.

"Oh my word" gasped Elizabeth when I had finished.

"Yeah, that's what I was thinking when I realised it" I said.

"So you're telling us, that Clara is the woman from all those years ago that you and Jack helped, but you didn't take her with you when you left Tortuga?" asked Oliver.

"Yes" I replied.

"So why the hell is she hear now?" asked Bill

"I reckon she's either genuine and my Dad and her are in love, or she's playing up to him so she can some sort of revenge" I said.

"Revenge it is" said Anamaria.

"Huh?" I said.

"Well I've seen the way she looks at him, and there isn't love in her eyes, it's always fazed me why, but now this has confirmed it" she explained.

"Oh yeah" I gasped.

Two hours later we were all still talking about Clara and what she wanted with Dad, we tried to think of a way to make Dad see her for what she was, before it was too late.
