Heart of Glass

A Pirate's Daughter's Adventure

Chapter 8

I remained curled up in a corner of the cabin, crying my eyes out.

Sirius was gone. And I was alone in this big world. All alone.

The sudden bang of the ship exploding, only solidified my fears. I knew he was gone.

"Barbossa!" I heard someone's familiar voice shout.

I quieted down, and listened, as this voice continued to shout," She goes free! So does Beaux!"

"What's in your head, boy?" My father jest back.

"They are both going free!" I finally identified it as Will's voice.

"You've only got one shot, boy, and we can't die."

I then slowly crept closer to the door, pressing my ear against it to get a better understanding of what was happening.

"Don't do anything stupid," Jack trilled.

"You can't. But I can."

I heard everyone gasp outside the door. I knew that voice. It wasn't Will's. It was…it was…

"Sirius," I gasped to myself.

While my father questioned," Who are you? Both of you!"

"No one," Jack barraged in," He's no one. A distant cousin of my aunt's nephew twice removed. Lovely singing voice, though eunuch. The other one well he…he's…"

"His son." Sirius answered. "Sirius Tobias Sparrow. And Beaux's fiancé."

I felt the crew go eerily silent, while Will announced," My name is Will Turner. My father was Bootstrap Bill Turner. His blood runs in my veins."

"He's the spitting image of ol' Bootstrap Bill come back to haunt us!" Ragetti shouted.

"On my word," Sirius shouted," do as I say, or I'll pull this trigger and he'll be lost to Davy Jones' Locker!"

"Name your terms, Mr. Sparrow." My father obliged.

"Elizabeth goes free," Will began for Sirius.

"Yes, we know that one. Anything else?" my father groaned.

"Beaux and I are to be let free, as well." Sirius sounded off," As well as the crew. They are not to be harmed."

Sirius than spat," You can do whatever you want with Jack."

"Agreed," my father sighed uncomfortably.

I heard the crew loudly sigh in relief, before my father shouted," Young Mr. Sparrow is to go into my quarters. Everyone else, down below!"

I quickly backed away from the door, while I heard the crew starting to hustle and bustle again.

Suddenly the door went flying open showing Raggetti, who threw in Sirius, then Pintel.

Sirius fell onto the floor in a big wet pile, before shouting," Where is Beaux?"

"Young Mr. Sparrow," Pintel grinned, grabbing Sirius by the back of the shirt, making him look up in my direction. "There is your poppet."

I smiled, through my tears at Sirius, while Sirius sent me a relieved smile.

But Pintel dropped him again, and left him on the floor, before him and Raggetti left, leaving me alone with Sirius.

I scrambled over to Sirius, and hugged him as tight as I could.

"I," I kissed his lips," thought," kiss again," I," kiss again," had," kiss again," lost," kiss again," you." But this time Sirius greeted me with a soft loving kiss, even though his lips tasted of nothing but salt water, making me giggle.

"You won't ever lose me," he whispered, as he tightly held me, while we both sat there in the middle of the cabin, now both soaked, and sitting in a puddle of sea water.

But I wasn't ever going to let go of him.
