Forever A Pirate

Chapter Five

After I had a nice extra swim in the ocean, they all came back. Seemed Jack couldn't sail without them. Jack. It's good to have you back. I thought without thinking. What the blazes is wrong with you! No, it is not nice to have him back! He is a horrid person. A liar! A terrible man... well not really, oh shut up already! I roared at the voice in my head. I scrunched up, and hid it in the back of my mind.

Jack started to walk towards me. I panicked, and turned to the nearest person next to me. Which happened to be Charles.

"Hey! Nice weather we're having, eh mate?" I asked him. He looked at me, utterly confused. I flashed him a smiled.

"Um, yes. Say, is there any rum in the bottom deck?" he asked me.

"Yes! Yes there is! Let me go help you find it!" I cried, grabbing his arm, and pulling it below. We moved past Jack, and he stared at us. I listed my head up high, and walked swiftly past him, with Charles falling over my feet. All to get away from Jack. Can't even handle a small talk with him. Shame. You used to be so brave. The voice mocked me.

"Shut it!" I yelled out load. Charles stopped, and stared at me.

"What?" I hissed.

"Nothing. Just show me where the rum is." he said. I nodded, and pulled him to the barrels.

I was at the railing, admiring the ocean. Elizabeth went up to me.

"Hey." I said. She smiled sadly.

"What's wrong?" I asked her. I knew her better than anybody, and knew by that face that something wasn't going right.

"Nothing." she said. I rolled my eyes.

"Yes, and I'm not Barbossa's daughter! Tell me what's wrong!" I barked at her.

"I just thought I'd be married by now. Or at least happy with Will. He's so angry at me now." she revealed to me. I sighed. I knew how that feels mate. I wanted to tell her, but I kept my mouth shut.

"Why is he angry?" I asked. She opened her mouth to say something, but Barbossa interrupted her.

"Trim that sail!" he yelled with Jack following him closely.

"Trim that sail!" Jack copied.

"Slack windward brace and sheets!" Barbossa yelled.

"Slack windward brace and sheets!" Jack copied.

"Haul that pallet line!" Barbossa ordered.

"Haul that pallet line!" Jack copied. Barbossa rolled his eyes, and turned to Jack, obviously mad. I came closer to see my father kick Jack's ass.

"What ARE ye doing?" Barbossa questioned Jack.

"What are YOU doing?" Jack asked Barbossa.

"No, what ARE ye doing?" Barbossa asked again.

"What are YOU doing?" Jack asked.

"No, what ARE ye doing?" Barbossa asked for a third time.

"What are YOU doing? Captain gives orders on the ship!" Jack gave in. "The captain of this ship is giving orders!" Barbossa informed.

"My ship, makes me captain." Jack said.

"They be my charts." Barbossa pointed out.

"That makes you...chart man!" Jack exclaimed. Ha, chart man. Sure Jack, sure!

"Stow it! The both of you! That's an order! Understand?" Pintel cut in. Jack and Barbossa stopped bickering, and we all looked at him.

"Are you mad?" I muttered beneath my breath.

"Sorry. I just thought with the captain issue being in doubt, I'd throw my name in for consideration, sorry." Pintel said, and backed up. Jack and Barbossa looked at each other, and hustled up the stairs.

Children. I said. I moved over to Pintel and Ragetti.

"I'd vote for ya." Ragetti said to Pintel. "Yeah?" Pintel asked. He nodded.

"As would I. I'd give anything to stop with the constant bickering." I moaned and placed a hand to my temple to decrease the pain. He looked down.

"And you'd make a great Captain." I placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Really?" he asked.

"Yes. . . As long as I'm the first mate." I said. He chuckled, and rolled his eyes. He and Ragetti left. I turned back to look at the blazing sun.
