I know that the last chapter was long, and now this one must seem really short after that. Thank you guys for all of the reviews you've been sending. I like reading your comments, even if it is just please update! Well, here's your update:
Chapter 10- The Tavern
Once inside The Faithful Bride, the tavern in Tortuga, Jack and Mr. Gibbs sat at a table in the back and talked. Will and I stood nearby, watching what was going on.
'Keep a sharp eye' Jack had told Will. I wasn't sure what that had meant, but Will must have, because he had a hand on my arm and wouldn't let go.
There was a fight going on, and I decided to watch that, instead of trying to listen to Jack and Mr. Gibbs's conversation. I watched as they threw one guy out the window, lucky for him, there wasn't any glass in that window.
Suddenly, I was shoved away from Will by a fat drunken lady who was holding a rum mug in her hand. She shoved me straight into the fight.
Someone pulled on my arm, then punched me in the face. I yelped as someone else cut my arm. My hat flew off and my hair fell down around my face.
"Will!" I screamed.
"Saoirse!" I could hear Will, Mr. Gibbs and Jack yelling my name.
"Jack, help!" I screeched as some guy grabbed my around the waist and another punched me. I was dropped to the floor a moment later, then got picked up again by another man, although this one didn't want to hit me. He dragged me out of the tavern.
"Dad!!" I screamed, as he pulled me through the doorway. I spotted Jack once before we were out the door and he dragged me down the street.
I kicked and hit the guy pulling me, and in return, he punched me in the stomach. I doubled over, which gave him another chance to pick me up around the waist and drag me further down the road. I gasped for air, but with the way he was carrying me, I couldn't breathe.
I could still hear Jack, Will, and Mr. Gibbs yelling my name, but I couldn't respond. My vision was going black and in my last hazy thoughts, I kicked out at the guy, straight where he didn't want to be kicked. He dropped me and left me lying in the middle of the street.
Then I blacked out.
Man, what is with her and going unconscious all the time? Poor Jack must be having a great day, finding out he has a daughter, losing her, having her black out on him twice in one day… man, what a life!
