the black spot

"Enough with this singin'! Rum! I need run, kids!" A very clearly drunk Billy Bones yelled, his face nearly red.

We all sprang to action at his words, scrambling aimlessly. Billy Bones pulls out his sword, swinging it through the air. "I got the horrors! Give me rum!" As his limp arm swung the sword, it collided with a vase on a nearby table. We all let out a yelp of surprise as it shatters to the floor. "Rum 'til I float!" He grumbled, his legs giving out as he falls backwards. Luckily Jim is there to catch him.

"All right! All right! Just one small one." Jim responded while steadying Billy back to his feet.

"Don't be giving him anymore rum!" The distant voice of my aunt upstairs exclaimed. Billy furrowed his eyebrows, "how does she bloody do that?"

Billy seemed to be quickly back to his senses as he hears something at the door he shushes us, putting his pointer finger to his lips. All of our eyes shot to the door. A large shadow could be seen in the crack the bottom.

"Who could be here at this hour?" I whisper, raising an eyebrow. A firm knock came, I shifted closer to Billy and Jim, becoming a little anxious.

Jim bravely walks to the door, and I can already hear the clattering of teeth coming from under the table where Gonzo and Rizzo sit.

The second Jim twists the door handle he is pushed back by the figure entering. The strange blue man laughs, the moonlight flooding in behind him very ominously. "Billy Bones! It's me, Blind Pew."

Billy noticeably cringes as the man waddles in. "I know you're here, Billy. Oh! Ah!" He crashes into a table, making a odd grumble. "Ya sniveling coward!"

"It's some kind of a blind fiend." Rizzo stated to Gonzo, who were both still under the table. "I believe the prefer 'visually challenged fiend,'" Gonzo mumbled.

Billy shook his head violently while still pressing his finger to his lips. "Ah! I heard that! There's someone here!" The man continues to crash into a shelf, which knocks over a few jars. "Over here!"

I could almost feel bad for the man as he reached out at nothing while stumbling his way across the room. He chuckles victoriously as he takes the moose head planted on the wall in his arms. "Billy Bones! Ah, I'd know that scurvy mug of your anywhere." He stroked the moose head as Jim approached him. I wasn't completely sure how good of an idea that was. But since the man couldn't tell a moose from Billy, I knew Jim would probably be okay.

"Excuse me, sir, but the bar is closed." Jim said politely, placing a hand on Blind Pews shoulder.

Blind Pew quickly grabbed Jim. "Aha! A pretty little girl, is it?" He said, stroking Jims hair.

Despite how troubling the situation was, I couldn't help but let out a small laugh, which I quickly stifled. "Yes. Take me to Billy Bones, my pet," the man said, spitting slightly. "You've come to the wrong place," Jim muttered.

There was a slightly sense of fear in Jims voice. Thats what made me decide to step in. "Sir. Theres no Billy Bones here, and he's not a girl." I say sternly, attempting to pry Jim away from the mans strong grip.

"Oh, I may be visually challenged, but I can see you're lying." At the sudden sound of a gun in Billy's hand, Blind Pew throws Jim away and charges at Billy. He lets out a war cry of some sort as he tumbles towards him. Billy is so caught off guard, he shots his bullet to the floor.

"Good evening, Bill. I know its you. Yes, you thought you could get away with it, didn't you? Just take it all for yourself and leave your shipmates with nothing." Billy shakes, his face contorting with fear.

Blind Pew sighs, "we're not pleased with that, Bill. Not at all." He reaches into his pocket, clutching something in his hand. "We want you to have this!" He quickly places a folded up piece of parchment in Billys hand before running away.

He erupts in diabolical laughter, only for it to be interrupted by him crashing into a stack of chairs. I open the door for him as be waddles out, still letting out sounds that could be interpreted as laughing or crying. He holds out his hands to feel in front of him and walks away. He runs into a few barrels which makes a stray cat screech. "Watch where you're going, you stupid cat!"

Once Blind Pew was gone from view, I closed the door. We all turn to see Billy, shaking in fear and letting our labored breaths as he stares at the parchment.

"What is it?" I ask, going to his side and looking the paper.

"The black spot!" He erupts, letting out s horrible scream.
