Disclaimer-I just got back from Disney. Despite my attempts to harass the creator of POTC they will not let me have Jack.
"Oh, oh, well, this is different."
She smiled and I really didn't want to strangle her. But, she rearranged my entire cabin. My desk, my bed, my papers, the cabinet that once held my rum. All of it. Nothing was left in its place. Where was everything? Gah!
"It's a little odd isn't it? Nothing is where it once was."
"Well, Captain obvious," She smirked at this, "I know everything is different. Change is for the better Jack."
She gave me a look that could've melted my eyeballs right out of the socket. For that second I felt a bit of a tingling sensation in my mind.
"Right, right, change is for the better."
Why did I say that? I didn't want to say that. I didn't open my mouth. It kind of just came out. This was getting a little out of hand.
"STOP CONTROLLING MY THOUGHTS! AND MY WORDS! AND MY CABIN AND ME RUM! You are driving my bloody insane. I'd rather be marooned on that island right now. At least there is still a bit of rum left. Yes, I hid some when I found her BURNING IT! Women are crazy! Throwing out rum, burning it! You are a loony. STOP MAKING ME DO THINGS! I AM THE DAMN CAPTAIN!"
With that said I shooed her away and went into my cabin. I rearranged everything back to normal and just sat on my bed. I looked up at the ceiling. The light fixture dangling above could be very calming if you just stared at it. Kind of hurt my eyes though. It was but a simple light bulb attached to a string, but it was soothing to watch it sway back and forth.
"Bloody hell, women will be my death."
I sat there and dozed off for a bit. I woke up a bit later and decided to check up on things. I opened the door to my now normal again cabin and went up to the railing. It was getting kind of choppy. The waves were cutting sharper every time.
"It won't be a problem." I thought to myself.
I was walking past the door that leads to directly above where October probably was. And surely enough I heard her. Sobbing in the most annoying way. It was kind of cute. I kind of felt bad for yelling at her. I know what you are thinking there, mate, but yes, I felt bad. She was crying uncontrollably. Mumbling curses with each breath.
"Luv, can I come down there? I didn't mean to make you sad. I'm just a little take back by you. You're definitely unique. If it helps, I'm, sorry."
She opened the door and looked up at me.
"I was trying to help you, by moving your bed an all. I could've explained it to you if you had let me. But no, you just went off on me. If you truly feel that I know nothing, and just did that to your cabin for my own amusement, you are pathetic. It was something HELPFUL I was doing. Not something silly and childish. But no, you yelled at me, so now you ma figure out how to help yourself. Goodbye Jack. Please leave me to myself now."
She closed the door again and I just stood there. The apology had faded in my mind and now I was concentrating on what she meant by trying to help me.
I shrugged and went back into my cabin. About 20 minutes past and I still just lay on my bed, bored out of my mind. In a sudden second the ship was swaying heavily, in a fit of storm. I sat up and I could hear the waves crashing against the side of The Black Pearl. This was a sudden change. Not expected in the least. It will pass though. The ship rocked hard against a wave and the light above my head flickered out. Now it was dark.
CRASH! Another time it crashed against the angry ocean. And somehow, the bulb had come loose from the socket and crashed upon my head.
"Well, that rather hurt."
I had a cut on my forehead and the blood was trickling down my forehead. It didn't bother me that much, seeing as I have taken several bullets in my time. Even worse. I wiped the blood away and got off the bed. My hands had glass in them from the shards that scattered across the bed.
I walked outside my cabin and the storm was clearing up. Fancy that. This has been a grumpy day for everyone.
"Gibbs! What is our location?"
"Right close Captain. We have tomorrow to prepare and we will be arriving at Geevar Island."
"Right Gibbs. Thank you. I fear I have received a bit of a scratch from that little incident just now."
And that's when I realized, If I had left my cabin in the manner that October had arranged it, my bed wouldn't have been under the bulb. My cabinet would've been. It would've crashed onto the top of my cabinet. I feat a presence near me, I turned around to find October, tear stricken and angry.
"If you would've just listened to me, you wouldn't have had that nasty little cut."
She reached up and touched the blood. She flinched a bit.
"It hurts more than you know, for me to by this way, to watch you get hurt, and then have it happen for real. Please listen to me next time, for it might me more than a little cut."
I nodded and put my hand atop her head.
"You need not worry about me. I am the leader of this crew and I have been through worse than an attack from a light bulb. Again, I am sorry for not listening to you the first time."
Why all of a sudden did I feel as if I was getting soft?
"I am aren't I?" I thought to myself.
I shook my head and Gibbs chuckled deeply.
"Yes Captain, you are." October smiled and walked off somewhere.
I looked out at the ocean, the beautiful waves. My home.
"Not for long."
