Relative of a Pirate 2!
Chapter 6: A Crying Sparrow!
Jamie watched as Bentley slowly rowed his boat away. Jamie put her head down, her sword away and started heading towards the helm. Will watched for a few more seconds longer at the water where Bentley once was then turned and jogged to catch up with Jamie.
"Jamie? Jamie are you ok?" Will asked as he came up behind her
"Aye … Its just Jack and I have had consistent problems with Bentley and I always stood up for him but since Jack's been gone …" Jamie said putting her head down upset, she then raised it and said with no emotion "I had to let him go … I had to"
"Of course you did" Will said in an understanding tone
"I can't believe some of the stuff he was saying … I cant believe what he called me!" Jamie said looking really upset
"If you don't mind me asking what Addled Poxy means do you? Will asked taking notice that Jamie was upset
"It's a pirate term … it means … it means" Jamie began but couldn't finish as tears ran down her cheek … It was silent for a moment until Will spoke again.
"Is that you Jamie behind those tears? Come on now … you don't really believe that … that … wanker? … Do you? … I think this is the first time I have seen you cry, even when you got stabbed last year you didn't cry … you are way to human to be Jack's cousin!" Will said trying to cheer Jamie up while he lifted her chin and wiped away her tears.
"You tell anyone and I will have to hurt you" Jamie said with a little smile
"AAHH! There you are Jamie" Will smiled while putting his hands down to his side, still looking at Jamie
"Anyways … It's a proven fact that all Sparrows cry … even you know who" Jamie said raising her eyebrows
"Really …" Will asked surprised
"Aye … When we were little he cried for hours because I stole his rum and drank it" Jamie answered wiping her face "He's even cried recently … He woke up from a nightmare crying, He was saying something like 'The rum's on fire … the rum's gone!"
"Good old Jack and his rum" Will smirked looking away and then back at Jamie, who had put her head down. Jamie then lifted her head and broke the silence when she asked Will,
"Do you think Bentley was right about me?"
"About being a woman? … Yes and if I may say so a beautiful one at that" Will said looking at Jamie, Jamie smirked a bit but then spoke again,
"No … about … about not being a good pirate and a captain … about only being here because I'm related to Jack" Jamie asked looking at the floor
"Not for a minute … you are a great pirate and a great captain … being Jack's cousin may have gotten your foot in the door but you have proven that you can hold your own. Jack is Jack but you … Jamie … you are the beauty and the brains of the seven sea's and beyond" Will answered as Jamie smirked and then looked up to meet his eyes
"You are certainly a charmer Turner, you know exactly what to say" Jamie said smiling at Will "Come on we still have to round up Jack before we can save your bonnie lass"
