Chapter-5 Apologies

Davy Jones P.O.V

I stare at the locket, I have been looking at it for an hour or so. I sigh, I need to apologize. The way I acted...was wrong. I stop, when have I ever felt the need to apologize to someone? But I still knew that if I didn't, I would not get any rest. I get up and go up on deck. I see her sitting there with Boot Strap, mending sails. There is a pile of clothing as well. I take a deep breath and head towards her.

"Come with me-uh" I say, I can't let the others know. She looks up at me her pale blue eyes wide, she looks at Boot Strap who looks suspicious but nods at her.

"Aye" she says softly, Boot Strap had told me she knew english but just had trouble speaking. I walk back to my room, Adara following me. I motion for her to take a seat at the bench.

"I wanted to tell you, I am sorry for they way I acted this morning-uh" I look at her, she nods in acceptance of the apology but she still has a look on her face that tells me she does not understand.

"Did... did you parents ever tell you about a man and a woman-uh?" still nothing from her "how babies are made-uh?". She shakes her head. My mouth drops open, how in the world can a full grown woman not know about...that.

"My parents died when I was seven" she says wincing in pain as she does so. "I ran away into the forest". I see her dig her nails into the palms of her hands. Talking really did bring her pain, without knowing why I decided then I was going to find something to make it easier for her to speak.

"Well-uh...you see..." I stop and think a moment then an idea comes to me. Boot Strap seems to have taken her in as his daughter so why not let him tell her why she needs to be careful on the ship. I stand up and lead her out and back on deck.

"Boot Strap-uh!"

"Yes Captain?"

I lean forwards and whisper into his ear. He makes a choking sound, and stands up strait.

"But, Why?"

"You dare question me-uh!?!"

"No sir!" he looks uncomfortable "but..why?"

I growl and lean forward again and tell him the reason.

"Oh" he says looking at the others, who are in turn looking at Adara. "Yes sir" he says finally.
