Apparently I haven't updates since just after spring break. It's the second day of summer vacation now. Wow. Uh...Sorry.
Chapter 5:
Four ships sat in front of Whitecap Bay. The crew of the Black Pearl sat around lazily, bored. Jack stood near the front of the ship, looking for another. Angelica had told him that the name of her ship was The Bloody Dragon. He was just looking for it, waiting for her to arrive. Some of the pirates from the other ships had set up a camp on the island, not far into the trees. They were preparing in case they were forced onto land somehow. Smart idea.
Jack glanced at the beach, watching men carry supplies from the dinghies. He looked back over the water, spotting the faint outline of a ship in the mist. He smiled. Angelica and her crew were here.
*X*
The crew of The Bloody Dragon lowered the anchor and the ship docked next to the other four. Angelica walked off and conversed with one of the men helping with the camp on land. She ordered some of her crew to join in and help. She spotted Jack watching her from aboard the Black Pearl and climbed up to join him. She walked over, leaning on the ship's railing.
"Hello, Jack." She greeted.
"'Ello, love." He smirked. "Glad ye've made it."
"I see you've gathered some allies."
"Aye. Two ships and the mermaids can't win alone."
"What makes you think we can even with five?" She asked.
"The more, the better." He responded. "But to tell ye the truth, we stand no chance."
"I know, Jack." Angelica agreed. "The mermaids might not even be enough."
"Best hope they are then." Jack told her. "Ye should go convince them now, 'cause we won't know when they come."
"I will." She nodded, beginning to climb down the rope ladder on the side of the ship. "See you later, Jack."
He smirked. "Good luck."
