Sorry I'm taking so long to update stuff. Just came back to school from spring break and I have final exams coming up- my first is this Thursday. Wish me luck.
Chapter 4:
Five ships sailed across the caribbean, the waves violently hitting their sides. Lightning cracked across the dark sky and thunder roared through the air. The Black Pearl lead the ships, its sails and hull nearly blending into the dark surroundings. Captain Jack Sparrow gripped the wheel tightly with one hand. His other hand was holding his hat to his head, unsurprisingly.
"Captain!" A voice shouted from one of the other ships.
They must've been having issues because of the storm then. Jack rolled his eyes and sighed. There was nothing anyone aboard the other ships could do to help them, which would be bad if they happened to start sinking.
"Lookout!" Gibbs hollered as a lightning bolt struck the top of the Pearl's main mast.
Luckily, the charred mast didn't fall over. Jack sighed in relief, only to jump in surprise as a wave splashed over the quarterdeck, drenching him. He frowned in disapproval.
Lightning blasted the hull of the struggling ship. Screams followed the roaring thunder as the ship began to sink.
"Keep going! We have to leave them behind!" Jack shouted to the crew, who watched the other ship in shock.
Slowly, the Pearl's crew got back to work, securing everything on deck and making sure that the sails were still intact. They would make it through the storm, Jack knew it. He had faith in his Pearl.
Another bolt nearly scared his hat off his head. He forced himself to remember.
To remember that they could count on the Black Pearl.
