Chapter Six: Unknown Reasons

Jack was sulking in his chair, he had been this way since he had abandoned Jessa in the galley that morning. He couldn't shake the cold from is little encounter with Bootstrap last night."Times run out Jack" pulsed through his mind making it throb with pain. It had been thirteen years since Jack had spoke, heard or saw The Flying Dutchman and it's unusual captain.

His head lulled to one side, sleep trying to consume his aching head but a voice pierced the calming silence, "Land Ho!!"

Jack jumped from his seat and dashed out of the cabin and onto the sun covered deck. He saw Jessa standing at the starboard rail looking through her spyglass, which was fixed on a lump of green and brown on the horizon.

"Aye tis be land," Gibbs said coming to stand beside Jack.

Jack stood there slightly bouncing up and down, they had made it! Land, oh glorious land! Jack couldn't wait to set foot on solid ground and hopefully he wouldn't be found by Jones.

Jessa turned from the rail and returned the spyglass to her belt "Good afternoon Cap'n, seems like ye decided to join us today." She said smiling and a bit of pirate slang entering her vocabulary.

Jack smiled "Oi Mister Gibbs!"

"Aye Sir?"

"It seems as if our little bird be getting the hang o' talkin' pirate," He said this wrapping his arm around his daughters shoulders and smiling at her. She returned the gesture and smiled at her father.

Gibbs walked off smiling, those two looked so much alike! If Jessa had longer hair and a piece of cloth around her head she would be the female version of her father.

"So luv," Jack said turning to face the rail agian and keeping hold on his daughter. "What say you to telling me the estimated time of arrival on that there island?" He lowered his voice in a secretive whisper, "because I hear tell that ye're spyglass is no ordinary spyglass." Jessa smiled and replied in the same tone, "I hear tell that your compass is no ordinary compass." She raised her right eyebrow to further indicate her point.

Jack chuckled and parted their embrace, "Ye hear true Jessa, but question is are you going to tell me when we are going to get there or not?" His face became stern but his eyes were gleaming.

Jessa rolled her head from side to side looking at the front of her spyglass. This was a unique spyglass, it had been a going away gift from her mother. It was able to see 10 leagues away and it had a way of telling the estimated time of arrival. "Oh about eight more hours Jack." She said in a decisive tone.

"You're a diamond luv," and Jack walked back to his cabin walking calmly.

Jessa watched her father go with a smile on her face, to her, her father had a certain charm to him. From his wobbly gate to his dreadlock hair. Though she couldn't help but wonder what life would be like if her parents were actually married and they all lived together.

"That can't happen Jessa," she told herself. "Jack is meant for the pirate life and mother is meant for life on land. They could never give up their lives."

But a contradicting voice spoke up, "But what about you? Shouldn't they think about whats good for you?"

Jessa shook her head, "No. I want them to be happy. I would do anything to make them happy."

"Well hopefully it aint your funeral they're going to be attending, just because you wanted them happy."

Jessa felt confused, "Meaning?" she asked the voice critically.

"Meaning that the thing that would make them happy would be you staying alive. Don't do anything stupid for them basically."

Jessa simply shrugged at turned to different thoughts. She climbed back to the crows nest to get some sleep, her locket creating a soothing lullaby as she drifted into dreams.

When Jessa woke up the sun was setting and the crew was working on securing the Pearl to the beach. The beach! Jessa looked around taking in her surroundings, they were in fact on dry land. The ship had been literally beached! The tide was low and the crew was busy hammering stakes deep into the sand and tying lines to keep the ship in place.

Once she was on dry land she went to find Jack, when she didn't find Jack she went to find Gibbs. She succeeded in finding him, he was giving orders and talking with Marty.

"Mister Gibbs, do ye know were Jack is?"

He smiled and shook his head, "Fraid not lass"

The teen sighed in exasperation, "Do ye have any inclination as to his were-abouts Mister Gibbs?" She asked in an irritable tone.

The first mate just shrugged "Nigh I don't lass, but not four hours ago did he go into the trees to take care of some personal business if ye know what I mean." Gibbs chuckled and returned to shouting orders

"AND IT TAKES FOUR BLOODY HOURS?!"

Gibbs looked at her like she was insane, "Lass if it makes ye feel any better I'll send out some of thee crew to search for 'im. But Jack be no fool, he's probably taking a nap." He walked past her, patting her shoulder in a comforting way and headed off to tell Leech and five other crewmen to go search for the Captain.

Jessa sighed in a bored manner and decided on taking a stroll down the beach.

When the sun had set and the moon was up Jessa returned to the mooring site. It was quite... to quite for her taste. She climbed up one of the ropes and landed with a soft thud.

"Cap'n Jack...Mister Gibbs?" She shouted. Her voice rang up and down the deck of the Pearl.

A fog had rolled in and Jessa was unable to see more than a few feet in front of herself. "Marty... Mister Cottons Parrot? Hello!!"

Jessa searched the whole ship from stem to stern and found not a single member of the crew.

"They all must have gotten lost taking care of their personal business." She said annoyed and rubbing her temples. She checked her pistols and touched her cutlass to make sure it was still there, she then grabbed a lantern and slid down the rope.

.Jessa made her way into the tree's and undergrowth, all the while urging herself to turn around andgo back to the ship. But she kept going, and after a few hours when the sun was beginning to rise did she stop to rest.

"Were could they be?" She asked herself as she leaned against a tree. "They probably are back at the Pearl wondering were I am now."

She got up from the tree to head back to the ship. She had kept a good sense of direction so she would be able to get back safely.

After ten minutes something caught her eye, it was a familiar looking leather canteen, and it was hanging on a branch. She picked it up and opened the lid, she reeled back at the all to familiar smell of rum.

"Mister Gibbs?"

She felt a searing pain jolt up her spine to her head and she passed out cold
