Coucou everyone! I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm going on a vacation for about four days and there will be no computers near me. I'm sorry I won't be updating until thursday night, but it doesn't pain you like it does me. I can't stand three hours without writing and for four days? Pray that I come back alive...
It took us only one more day to reach our destination, though I had no idea where we were going. Sparrow came up behind me as I surveyed the island, receiving goose bumps from its horrendous view of scenery. "Brennie, stay here and don't do anything…stupid."
"My name is not Brennie! It's Baroness Norrington!" I yelled at him.
He only sauntered off towards a row boat where Will had previously lowered himself onto. I watched them row off into the mouth of the cave, relishing in the idea that they might not return again. My heart suddenly thundered into happiness, but then I remembered the pirates around me. What if they didn't come back and I was stuck here all by myself? My heart beat faster as I worried what might happen to them. I knew that we were trying to find Miss. Swann, but I didn't know who her captors were. I mean, I knew they were pirates, but I didn't know the name of the ship or who the pirates themselves were.
I did the only thing I could think of, I grabbed the arm of a stout looking pirate and girded up my loins. "Excuse me, can you tell me what will happen if Captain Sparrow doesn't come back?"
The pirate jerked his arm away from me and scowled. My mouth dropped at the man's impolite manner. How dare he scowl at me? As I was about to yell at the man for his behavior, someone else tapped me on the shoulder. I turned to see another stout looking pirate who had magnificent sideburns and a round face. He was no more than thirty two and had a kind gleam in his eye.
"Baroness Norrington, I just wanted to say congratulations on yer marriage to Commodore Norrington. Good man 'e was." The man nodded to me.
"Uh…thank you…Mr…" I furrowed my eyes into confusion.
"The name's Gibbs. Mr. Gibbs if ya don't mind. I used to work for Commodore when 'e was a captain." He smiled at me.
For the first time in days, I smiled back at the man. He was the closest thing I could get to my husband, and somehow, I was determined to befriend this man.
"Mr. Gibbs, what a kind man you are." I looked up into his eyes, displaying my innocent act towards him.
A smirk lit across his face.
"I was wondering, what will happen if Captain Sparrow or Mr. Turner don't come back from their escapades?" I continued my steady gaze, watching his smile shift to a frown.
"We stick to the code, lassie…" With an about face, he walked off leaving me to wonder what the code was.
