I gripped my hat as I ran, it threatened to fly off of my head from the speed I was moving. I had to tell her, she needed to know.
I ran through the town, people giving me dirty looks as I shoved them out of the way. I heard angry yelling, but I didn't care. All I cared about was that ship.
I burst through the door of our house and ran into the sitting room. Mother was there as usual, looking sadly out the window towards the water.
"Mother! I saw it, I saw the ship with black sails! Jack's ship!"
"Raina calm down! What do you mean you saw Jack's ship?" she asked, confusion crossing her face.
"I was down at the beach and when I looked out over the water, there it was!" I yelled back, excitement taking over.
I ran over and grabbed her hand, dragging her up. "Come on i'll show you!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When we made it down to the beach I pointed to the ship, or rather where the ship should have been.
"It was ther I swear! Where did it go?"
"I'm not sure. But I think I might have a pretty good idea. Tortuga."
"I'm going after him" I said determinedly.
"Of coarse you are, I'd be surprised if you had said anything different."
Smiling I made my way back to the house to collect my things.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mother had arranged for a naval ship to take me to Tortuga so that I could look for Jack. The trip was long and boring, but it was nice to be on the water finally. I spent most of my time alone, looking out at the open ocean, wondering where my father was.
The men on the ship all eyed me hungrily, their eyes slid over my body, making me feel very uncomfortable. Even the captain would watch me, I could feel his sleazy gaze on me often.
I was thankful when I finally made it to Tortuga, eager to get away from those men.
Mother had told me that if Jack was anywhere on Tortuga, then he'd be at the pub Hangman's Noose. I quickly found my way through the streets of Tortuga, past all the drunks, to the pub. When I walked through the door I was almost knocked over when two men came towards me, punching and kicking each other. They were both clearly out of their minds drunk.
Unsure which man was Jack, or if he was even here, I went up to the bartender to ask.
"You there, is Jack Sparrow here?" I asked, not politely, seeing that no one on this island cared for pleasantries.
The bartender glared at me, sizing me up. I had put my hat back on, and had shoved all of my hair under it, so that at first glance you wouldn't think I was a woman.
"He's over there" he said, pointing to the back corner of the room.
Slowly I made my way over there, towards a man with dreads and a tankard of ale in his hand. As I came closer he didn't look up.
"Captain. Jack. Sparrow."
Slowly he dragged his eyes away from his drink to look up at me. Confusion crossed his face as he stood up to stand right in front of me. He brought his sword up, and moved the tip so that it pushed my hat off, allowing my hair to fall in waves down my back.
"You look familiar. Have I threatened you before?"
"No Jack, but I think you'd be interested in knowing my name."
He looked confused, and suspicious.
"Oh would I now?"
I smiled, "My name's Raina," he looked at me skeptically, "Raina Turner."
