Chapter five: after the storm
The boat was rocking along the now dying waters. Destiny had been knocked out, and was now sleeping in her fathers in the cabin. Jack knocked on the door, but there was no answer.
So he went into the room.
"Destiny luv?" Destiny are ye awake?" she stirred in her sleep, and slowly opened her eyes.
"Daddy what happened?" "Well there was a big wave and in crashed onto the deck and swept you away into the sea." "Oh," was all she said.
"What's the matter luv?" "Oh I..I was just thinking." "Bout what?" "Well mama." Jack was quite.
"Daddy I was thinking that maybe you could tell me 8 things about her.?" "I don't know luv." "Oh please daddy, it's just 8 things, and that's it." "Oh, all right."
"The first thing is she was funny." "She could make any body laugh. "Two she loved the ocean." "She could stair at it all day." "Three she could run fast." "Oh, she was fast." "You could never catch up to her, but your ol dad did." "Four, she couldn't cook, burned every thing, but I still loved her." "Five, she knew all of the stars." "She could point them out, never got tired of looking at them." "Six she loved to sing." "She had a beautiful voice." "It would make you fall asleep." "Seven, she was a good kisser."
"Daddy." "What?" "How is that going to help me by knowing she was a good kisser?" "Just telling the facts luv." "whatever." jack was silent for awhile.
"Daddy what's the eighth one?" " The eighth one is that your mama loved you." "She loved you very much." Gibbs came in the door. "Captain, we need you up here." "I'll be there soon Mr. Gibbs." Jack stayed there for a minute and turned to leave. "Daddy can I come with you too?" "Sure luv." They were about to walk up the stairs but Destiny quickly hugged Jack. "Thanks daddy for telling me." Jack gave a small smile. "Ok luv lets get up on deck."
"How is it that Jack came by that compass," asked Will. "Not a lots known about Jack Sparrow before he showed up in Tortuga with a mind to go after the treasure of the Isla de Muerta." "That was before I met him, back when he was Captain of the Black Pearl"
"What? "He failed to mention that"
" Well, he plays things closer to the vest now." "And a hard-learned lesson it was." "See three days out on the venture the first mate comes to him and says everythings an equal share." "That should mean the location of the treasure, too, so Jack gives up the bearings." "That night there was a mutiny." "They marooned Jack on an island and left him to die but not before he'd gone mad with the heat"
"Ah. So that's the reason for all the"
"Reason's got nothing to do with it!" "Now Will, when a man is marooned he get a pistol with one shot." "One shot!" "Well of course that won't do you much good huntin' or to be saved." "So after three weeks of a starvin' belly and thirst." "That pistol start to look real friendly, but Jack, escaped and still has that one shot." "Oh but he won't use it, save for his mutinous first mate"
"Barbossa."
" Aye"
"How did Jack get off the island"
"Well, I'll tell ye." "he waded out into the shallows and he waited there three days till all manner of sea creatures came and acclimated to his presence And on the fourth morning, he roped himself a couple of sea turtles, lashed em together and made a raft." "He roped a couple of sea turtles"
"Aye, sea turtles"
"What did he use for rope"
"Human hair from my back." "Let go of the anchor." "Let go of the anchor, sir!"
"Young Mr. turner and I are to go ashore." "Me too daddy!" "No." "Why?" "Because I said so." "Oh Please daddy." she was making puppy dog eyes. "Fine, fine." "Your so stubborn, you know that." "Well, so are you daddy." "Because I'm a Sparrow." "So am I daddy." Jack opened and closed his mouth. "Just get in the boat."
"Captain! What if the worst should happen"
"Keep to the code"
"Aye, the code."
I know this is a little short, but i promise you the next chapter will be longer.
