Jessie's eyes opened suddenly and then she shot straight up in her hammock. She grunted loudly as she felt her forehead throbbing, Why do I be havin' this horrible headache? Jessie asked herself. Her memory of the other night was a bit fuzzy, she remembered the storm perfectly, but she didn't remember the fall. Jessie felt her forehead, but she didn't feel a bump. I be probably jus' goin' crazy, Jessie thought to herself as she slowly got out of her hammock. She looked around and saw no other crew members, they must o' either nereslept, or be all up already. Jessie walked clumsily up the stairs to the top deck and looked up at the sun making it's way slowly, very slowly, towards the middle of the sky. She walked around, looking at the crew putting the canvas back up. They haven't put the sails back up yet? Jessie wondered, they ought o' put them back up last night. Jessie's thoughts were brought to ruin when she remembered her throbbing headache,
"Why do I be havin' a throbbin' hade?" Jessie yelled loudly.
Jack stepped down from the helm and stood beside Jessie,
"You took a bit of a nasty fall last night, luv" Jack said while looking at the horizon.
"Aye, I reckon I did." Jessie said while remembering her fall last night.
"So, Cap'n, 'ere be we goin' now?" now asked Jessie curiously.
"Ta find some Aztec gold," replied Jack with a grin, as he made his way back to his position at the helm.
Jessie wondered what was so special about 'Aztec gold', but she didn't question him any further. He was Captain Jack Sparrow after all; it must be something better then just a few pieces of gold.
Jessie stared out at the sea in awe, it was so beautiful. But then Barbossa purposely knocked into her and smiled.
"Sorry Miss, I just thought ye'd be needin' this," he said and handed the swab and bucket of water Jessie had used yesterday to her.
Jessie glared at him and reached for her sword, but felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked back to see Bootstrap Bill.
"Careful" he said and Jessie sighed.
"Aye, I know. But I wish I could jus' send him t' Davy Jones locker. Jus' once, that's all I ask." Jessie grumbled and Bootstrap chuckled and left.
Jessie murderously put the swab into the bucket of dirty water and took it out and started swabbing the deck while mocking Barbossa.
"Sorry Miss, I just thought ye'd be needin' this," she said over and over again in a low and mocking voice until she heard some commotion.
Jessie left her swab and bucket behind and went towards the fore of the ship to see what the commotion was about.
"It's the Interceptor" she heard some of the crew say.
"Who's that women at the bow of the ship?" she heard someone ask.
"Is the Commodore and Lieutenant aboard?" another crew member asked.
Jessie pushed her way through he crowd of crew members and looked at the older lady at the bow of the boat. She looked very uncomfortable and out of place as she was holding onto a piece of rope for dear life. Jessie looked at the women at a glance and recognized something about her. She squinted to get a better look and gasped.
"AH! ELINOR!" she yelled and ran to the hiding place behind the stairs used by Jack the day before.
"Elinor! Where?" Jack yelled, remembering the name of his awful Aunt.
Jessie peeked out of her hiding spot and started yelling.
"Run! Run! Make this lily livered ship go faster! Hurry up ye scabrous dogs! On deck! I want movement" yelled Jessie franticly.
Jessie saw Jack look at her with askance and she fake coughed and put her hands together in apology.
"Apologies. Ye give th' orders." She said with a short smile and then returned to her hiding spot.
I know, this is a very short chapter, that is why I have another chapter comeing right up. :-)
