Chapter 6: Tortuga.
Jack was learning to fight with his sword and was sparring with Captain Williams, learning how to prairie and attack.
"Ye pretty good, lad." Captain Williams panted as he blocked Jack's sword once again. "I say ye be a natural! Ye'll get this in no time." Jack blocked the older pirate's attack and smiled as they shook hands.
"Thankye, Captain. That was great!" Jack exclaimed as he looked around for Karla who was climbing and swinging all over the rigging like a monkey. He laughed as he climbed up towards her.
"Are ye having fun, sis?" Jack asked trying to chase her. Karla jumped down from the rigging laughing happily, looking down to make sure her mother's necklace was still there. She grabbed the coin and started playing with it absentmindedly as Jack jumped down beside her and looked out towards the horizon. He was really enjoying this feeling of being free.
"We'll be stopping at port soon, Karla! The Captain says we need supplies." Jack said as he looked at his sister. Karla looked into his eyes with a question in hers.
"Where are we going?" She asked with excitement.
"A place called Tortuga! A pirate's port!" Jack smiled. Karla smiled back at her big brother brightly.
"This will be great fun, Jack! This is much better living, better than being scared all the time!" She sighed. Jack just grinned at her and looked towards the horizon once again. He couldn't believe it had already been three weeks since their hell of a home.
"Land ho!" The pirate at the crow's nest called. Captain Williams grinned, standing at the wheel as he saw Jack and Karla running up towards him.
"How long 'til we get to Tortuga, Captain?" Jack asked.
"Not long now, Jack me boy! 'Bout two hours or so."
Jack nodded smiling with anticipation as Karla jumped up and down laughing with delight. She was also clearly excited to see what Tortuga was like. Captain Williams chuckled and patted the children on the head playfully.
Two and a half hours went by fast as Jack and Karla played on the rigging of the Black Pearl. Captain Williams watched them with a glint of pride in his eyes. he knew those kids had gone through some kind of horrible trauma and he took a liking to them straight away. They were good kids and he knew one day they were gonna make a great reputation and everyone would be telling the stories of the adventure's of The Sparrow Duo in every tavern across the Caribbean. They would make great pirates on day.
"Make ready the boats!" He ordered to the crew. "Jack, Karla lass, time to go into town, savvy?"
"Aye, Captain!" They both exclaimed at the same time and they jumped down to head towards the gangplank.
"Welcome to Tortuga, children!" The Captain said with a smile on his face as he sauntered with Jack and Karla through the pirate crowded streets towards the Faithful Bride tavern. Jack and Karla stared with amazement at all the crazy things going on around them.
"Wow! This town is really different, and interesting too!" Jack exclaimed looking around with wonder. Karla just stared open-mouthed at all the excitement going on around her. The Captain just chuckled as he walked into the tavern.
"Aye, this is a pirates paradise, lad!" Captain Williams replied, heading towards the bar to order drinks.
