Chapter 2

Jack was scared as he heard footsteps coming from behind him. Whoever it was grabbed the lantern and shined it toward him. " Aye tis little Jackie good to see you." He recognized the voice as Rusty Knickers a lowlife scumbag whom called himself a pirate from Shipwreck Cove. Everyone on Shipwreck Cove had a strong dislike for ole Rusty including Jack's father. Rusty had ransacked the family's cabin looking to see what treasure's he could loot or possibly he had ran out of rum and came looking for more.

Rusty grabbed a hold of Jack by his shirt and lifted him off the ground "where be yer ole man kid?" he asked. Jack replied "Probably stealing back whatever you took from us" This enraged Rusty "You little puke I otta toss you to the fish with a brick tied to yer leg. Jack replied " And whom would you be looting the brick from seeing as this cabin is made from wood?" Rusty tossed Jack back onto the floor "Yer one to talk little Jackie' I seem to recall you stealing a trinket from me last time u where here." Jack recalled the trinket had belong to his grandmamma and he wanted it back where it belonged.

Rusty grabbed a hold of Jack's arm and pulled out his knife and said "Maybe I should cut off yer hand and teach you a lesson eh."

Suddenly the cabin door flew open, reviling Captain Teague. He quickly hit Rusty in the back of the head with the butt of his pistol and he told Jack to get back to the ship at once.

Jack run away as fast as he could back to the Misty Lady, forgetting all about the whereabouts of his mum. Jack run right to his quarters, closed the door and pushed the bed up to the door.

He recalled some bad experiences with Rusty in the past, Rusty was a bully toward the younger lads on shipwreck cove stealing anything they had so he could buy more rum & trying to find out where there fathers had put the treasures they had found, but Rusty would always back down when he herd or seen Captain Teague, even the Captain's name being spoken always sent Rusty running for higher ground, but tonight Rusty seemed different, almost like he no longer feared the Captain, and was ready to do harm to young Jack.

Jack had waited almost a hour before he came out of his quarters, he grabbed his toy wooden sword that his father had given him. He'd had it as long as he could remember. He knew the sword wouldn't do much harm to anyone but it made him feel a little more safe.

He slowly climbed up onto the deck he and took a quick look around, there no one in sight, only two deck hands manning the ship, slowly he walked towards the edge of the ship and look towards the shore where he seen his father & mother talking. His mum was waving her hands and his dad brushed her off, she turned him around and slapped him right in the face and stormed away, Teague rubbed his freshly beaten cheek and turned and made his way to the Misty Lady, his crew followed, carrying supplies. There were two men at the back pulling a man in shackles. Jack noticed it was Rusty, his face had been beaten and blooded, clearly the crew had roughed him up for what he had done to Jack earlier. The crew boarded the ship and the Captain ordered Rusty to the brig.

Rusty looked around through his blood filled eye, he could make out young Jack and then yelled "Lucky fer yer daddy boy, might have loss yer hand tonight eh." Then he let out a menacing laugh. Teague storm over to him pulled out his sword and pressed it up to Rusty's throat and got right up in his face. Teague's eyes where like looking into the depths of hell itself. "I'd be watching whom I talk to that way you little scumbag I'll spill your blood all over this ship if you ever say another word to any of my crew or family again, you'll down in Davy Jones locker right fast savvy.

Rusty seemed to get the fear back that he had all those years before as he closed his lips tight, and nodded, and the crew continued on to the brig, dragging the prisoner with them.

Teague walked over to his son, whom had be watching the whole thing, "You ok Jackie?" Jack nodded. "Ill never let anything happen to you, you have my word son." Jack smiled and said "everything ok with mum?" Teague had a long blank stare, then rubbed his cheek.

"Jackie your mum doesn't understand the pirate way & it's probably for the best she's a very strong women in many ways, she's a lot like your grandmamma, only I'm not sure whom I'd be more afraid of."

Jacks grandmamma had helped raise him back in shipwreck cove, she was very strict, and stern with Jack, and once was a pirate lord herself in the first court, until passing her title off to her son. At one time she was one of the most feared pirate lords in the world and sometimes Jack feared her more then anyone.

"Anyway Jackie I assured your mum the cabin's, fine might need a little clean up but I got some locals to help her and to watch over her, poor buggers. I offered to bring her on the ship, but I guess you saw the results of that. We're better off any way Jackie, she'd just toss me over board if we brought her along and we can't be having that now can we. savvy?" And Jack nodded his head.

Jack then went back his quarters, he missed his mum but he knew the Captain was right if she had come with them she would have caused more trouble then anything. Jack heard the Captain barking orders from the helm and in no time the Misty Lady had set sail again leaving shipwreck cove behind.
