Pearl Beads

Chapter Three: Pirate

CHAPTER THREE

I wake up to someone poking me, but It's too cold, I'm too tired to go to school today, so I keep my eyes shut and my breathing steady, pretending to be asleep. The poking stops and I know that my brother has gone to get my dog to lick my face, so I tried to pull up my blankets higher over my face, but that was odd, there weren't any. "WOAH!" someone yelled in my ear, but that wasn't my brother's voice... I know, I must have left Pirates of the Caribbean on last night and it was up to the part when Jack goes in to the place and does the thing and tries to wake the guy up, (I know, my amazing skills(remember that scene Anpanwoman?)) I stay perfectly still, knowing that any sudden movement can cause the banning of my iPod, and then HOW WOULD I WATCH PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN!!! *has total panic attack* But then a hand reaches into my pocket and it all comes rushing back, my brother wouldn't try to steal my wallet, but I know someone who would. Captain Jack Sparrow (it has such a lovely ring to it doesn't it? (Or how bout... the Immortal Captain Jack Sparrow (or Captain Jack Sparrow, the last pirate (... I could keep doing this forever you know :))))). He grabs a handful of gold and stray papers that have probably been in my pocket for months. He goes to pull away, but I'm quicker, I reached out and grabbed his hand, "Drop it," I said sternly, "sit, stay, and roll over, now beg" I continued after realising I was talking to him as I would my dog. "You took mine," he complained, though dropping the coins obediently, "I gave yours back, were you planning to give those back I wonder?"

"Pirate," he muttered.

"How long was I asleep?" I asked, reaching to my neck to make sure my... something, wasn't gone. "So you were asleep?" Jack slurred, "Damn," I quickly climbed up the ladder and looked out onto the street, it was twilight. "You could have woken me," I complained, realising that I must have slept for hours, "wait, what are you still doing here?" I asked, after realising he must have a much better reason to stay than a few shillings. "I have nowhere else to go, and I'm a wittle lost, if you just help me find my way, I would be much obliged, wait, I wuld or you wuld, oh well, I'm a little toooooooo drunk to care right now, haha, *nervous laugh* don't you agree . . ." my little crushee rambles, obviously quite drunk.

"Shut up," I snap in my beautiful Australian accent which I haven't actually heard in about 10 years, I was so used to my English one by now that it shocked me, "what happened to the legendary black pearl?"I asked slowly, listening carefully to my voice,

"Barbossa took it,"

"Again? Seriously, that guy needs a life... but then what was it doing floating just off shore?" I asked, puzzled, "what?! Oh yea... the map, almost forgot about that you know, but I guess that's what happens when your drunk, doesn't it . . . hang on, I don't even know your name!!!"

While he continues to rant how silly it was to give away his details to a stranger (like I was going to damage that gorgeous face anyway (and it's not like there was anything I didn't know about him already... yes, that does sound a bit stalkerish, get over it)) I made a point to quite rudely interrupt, "Did you steal another map or are you still looking for the fountain of youth?"

"Still looking... how do you know about that?"

"I know stuff about you that you don't even know," I look at him smugly until realising how incredibly stalkerish that sounded... the ground suddenly became very interesting.

"Oh, alrighty then, wait, even though I'm a drunken idiot I know that face, my crew talk about you all the time . . . I mean when I had a crew, before they were stolen, again. You're the governors daughter right? Annabeth Taylor?" Jack asked after a pause,

"yes and no," I didn't want to give away too much, it's bad enough to confuse a regular person, but to confuse a drunk person's just too harsh.

"So, you aren't?" he asked, trying to casually look uninterested, but I knew he wanted to know everything, and I was starting to doubt whether he was actually drunk or not.

"I am, but I'm not," I said matter of factly, just to confuse him (he's just soooooo adorable when he's confused)

"You're adopted then?" he said, walking around the sewer as if he knew the place well (I rather doubt it (bloody show-off)).

"It's a long story," I sigh,

"Does it look like I'm going anywhere (while you're attempting to keep me hostage)?"I heard him fade off and smile cheekily. I gave him my infamous evil stare, but who could stay angry with his beautiful face for more than a few seconds (and it wasn't a complete lie...)

So I sit down, and tell him the whole story.
