Sparrow's Revenge

2

I had not long bathed and got into my bed ready to sleep for the night when there was a loud bang from outside, a sound so loud that it could only be from one thing known the man kind. Cannons. But they weren't just any cannons belonging to any ship. They were the cannons of The Black Pearl. My heart began to pound. I couldn't be seen by those pirates. I couldn't go back onto that ship with that captain and crew. I jumped out of bed and grabbed the brown bag I kept in the bottom of my draws. Throwing the strap over my shoulder I ran to the window, took a quick look outside to scan the safest root and began my decent using trees, pipes and vines to help me safely onto the grass outside.

I had no weapons to defend myself with so tried my hardest to avoid being seen by anyone, whether it be the Royal guards of pirates. Using hedges as my coverage I made it to the prison but no guards stood watch outside. I knew at that moment pirates had been down there and possibly still were so I crouched down and waited before I saw two pirates run out and back towards the shore. Praying the coast was clear I climbed out from the shrubbery and down the stairs. The two guards were dead at the bottom and i lifted my nightgown to my knees and stepped over them.

I was on solid ground and looked up to see Jack looking at a bone with a confused look on his face. "It's called a bone Jack now why are you holding it and looking at it like it just started reciting poetry."

"Good to see you too." He spoke and looked up at me. I smiled slightly and took a seat on the bench across from him but out of view from anyone who looked down. "What happened?" He asked.

"I don't know. They appeared and I climbed out a window before coming here. I didn't think it would be in my best interest to stop and ask questions." Jack looked at me knowingly. "You seem rather calm for someone who's been arrested thrown in jail and spoken to by the same pirates that hosted a mutiny against you. How is that?" I question him.

"Because dear Lottie, I'm tired and I'm sure you are too, now hush and get some sleep." He practically commanded me but I listened anyway but just to wind him up, I put his hat over my eyes to which he groaned and muttered "How did I know you were going to do that?" It wasn't long before I drifted into a short and not so sweet sleep.

"You Sparrow." Were the first words I heard upon my awakening. I opened my eyes slightly and turned my head to see the source of the noise. It was Will. He looked as rough as I felt but still managed to make it look good.

"Aye." Will spoke from his space on the floor.

"You were familiar with that ship The Black Pearl." Will again stated rather than questioned.

"I've heard of it."

"Jack stop being playing games and listen to him." I snapped in my sleep like state, his hat still covering the majority of my face. I knew I wasn't going to get back to sleep but it didn't stop me from trying.

"Where does it make birth?"

"Where does it make birth?" He repeated mockingly. I mentally face palmed then and there. "Have you not heard the stories?" Deciding that if Jack carried on we'd get no where so I stepped in.

"Captain Barbossa and his crew of mistreats sail for the dreaded Isle of Du Meurta, it is an island that cannot be found except by those who already know where it is." When I finished I could feel Jack glaring at me but I just shrugged, too tired to care for anyone or anything..

"The ship's real enough therefore it's anchorage must be real enough where is it?"

"Why ask me?" Jack asks him.
