Chapter 5

Surprise

Walking up the ramp to the ship, Anasyn was completely amazed. She had loved ships all her life and one day, hoped to work on one. Maybe this was her chance.

She walked around the deck, then climbed up the small staircase to the helm, where she leant on it, looking out to the darkness. She could make out the crew coming out from underneath, going off to help with the rum and some gold they pillaged from elsewhere on this island.

'What are you doing 'ere?' Anasyn broke out of her gaze suddenly to find Captain Jack Sparrow standing on the other side of the helm.

'I was invited, Captain. Is that alright with you?' Anasyn said coldly, then remembered that this must be his ship, therefore she would have to be nice.

'It's a beautiful ship.' She added, hoping to lighten his spirits.

'Aye, she is. Still held good after sinking to the depths twice already.' Jack looked out to the stern of the ship, with a look of affection on his face. He suddenly realised this and went back to being his tough usual self. He didn't know what to think of having a woman onboard. Especially this woman, who didn't seem to like him very much.

'If ye want to stay on the Pearl, you'll have to make yourself useful.' He said authouritively, with his chin in the air.

'…The Pearl?' Anasyn was confused at first, then realised that must be the name of the ship.

'Aye, the Black Pearl. Remember it.' Jack said, still looking to the stern.

Once the lamps were lit on the ship, Will spotted Anasyn and Jack standing at the helm talking to each other.

'Well that's a good start.' He thinks to himself. With Jack being straight-forward and sly, and Anasyn being extremely fiesty and able to pack a punch, Will was worried at how the two would get along. He makes his way up the stairs and over to the helm, where Jack's staring out to sea and Anasyn is smoothing out her dress.

'I think you're gonna need a change of clothes, Ana' Will said as he was walking towards her, 'that dress will do no good here.'

'Touche, and where am I going to find anything else?' Replied Anasyn, in a matter-of-fact tone.

'Come on, i'm sure Jack has something in his cabin.' He whispered in her ear. Anasyn looked at him, then grabbed his arm and followed him downstairs.

For as long as he could remember, Will had been torn between two women. He's utterly in love with his fiance, Elizabeth. Yet he's always felt something for Anasyn. He couldn't make out what, but it was there and he always felt guilty about it.

But then again, Elizabeth admitted to desiring Jack for a while. He knew he wanted to be with Elizabeth, but he had a different kind of love for Ana.

As they walked into Jack's cabin, Will decided to take action.

'Ana, we've been friends a long time.' He said softly.

'Yes, of course. Where is this coming from?'

'Have you ever felt…'

Instead of finishing, Will leant forward, put his hands up to her neck, pulled her forward and kissed her…
