10Hello everyone!
So I know that the first chapter was not the most interesting chapter ever, but it was just kind of to show you what the characters are up to at the moment. This chapter is really where the story begins propperly and I hope you like it :)
Disclaimer: I do not own Pirates of the Caribbean, although Chrissy and Alayna are mine.
Chapter 2
Angelica opened her eyes. The third day on Sola Fide Beach. She sat upright. The day before she had basically only been playing around with the voodoo doll, stabbing it with twigs, holding it`s head underwater… Suddenly, Angelica shot up. There was a ship, on the horizon!
„HELP!" she yelled as loudly as possible, but of course she knew they couldn`t hear her. Angelica ran up and down the beach, waving her arms and screaming for help. She could not let this possibility of surviving slip past. But the ship didn`t sail towards her. It continued it`s path like a stubborn child. Angelica`s skin was burned from the heat of the sun and she was sweating and tired. She crawled behind a bush, hoping to find some shade.
She was sure now. This was her end. She was going to die. Angelica sunk down and started to cry. She looked at the voodoo doll in her hands and whispered through her tears; „Why, Jack? Why did you leave me here?" She had once loved him and he had loved her. All this was gone now.
Angelica couldn`t love him anymore. He had marooned her here because he was a coward who feared her revenge for him killing her father.
He didn`t love her anymore, because if he did, he would have trusted her and never marooned her on Sola Fide Beach in the first place.
But a sudden noise made Angelica stop sobbing and she listened intensely. No doubt, there were voices. Angelica already wanted to scream and run to the people in hopes of being saved, but she stopped herself. What if there pirates were evil? Carefully, she got out of her hiding place and peeked out onto the beach. There were three small boats and probably about 15 men – 15 pirates.
Those pirates were walking around on the island. „Captain Arthur, sir?" One of the men said ina, for apirate, polite manner. An old, dirty looking pirate turned around to face the relatively young sailor. That was apparantly the boy`s permission to speak.
„We have found no rum or food on this island, cap`n. Just a spit of land, no more." The boy explained. Angelica estimated him to be around 17 years old. The captain nodded, no emotion on his face. „LET`S GO, YE FILTHY RATS!" The man ordered and climbed into the first longboat. Immediately, the others followed and they started to row off. That was when Angelica jumped out of the bushes.
„No, wait!" Silence filled the island after those words left her mouth.
Port Royal, Jamaica
Elizabeth strolled along the beach. In front of her was the sea. Just 6 more years… keep a weather eye on the horizon … she could hear Will`s voice inside her head. „Mum?" A voice behind her said. Elizabeth smiled and turned around. „Yes, sweetie?" In front of her stood her 4-year-old son Henry. Henry showed her a shell, looking very proud. „Look at this shell I found! I`ll give it to Daddy when he comes home." Henry said, smiling widely. Ever since Elizabeth had told her and Will`s son about Will, he was collecting presents for his father, for when he came home.
Elizabeth`s eyes trailed to the left… and there, near the rocks was a girl! She was lieing there, unconcious. „Oh my god." Elizabeth whispered in shock and hurried over to the girl, followed by Henry.
The girl had blonde hair and was wearing dark blue trousers and a white blouse. „Hello? Are you alright?" Elizabeth said to the girl, who stirred in response. Slowly, she opened her eyes. „Where am I?" She asked, more herself than Elizabeth. „You are in Port Royal, on the beach." Henry announced proudly. „WHAT?!" The girl shrieked and sat up. Elizabeth almost got scared to death and she closed her yes and let out a stressed sigh. „Yes, you are in Port Royal. My name is Elizabeth Turner and this is my son Henry." Elizabeth explained calmly, while opening her eyes again.
„I know." When the girl said that, Elizabeth stared at her. „What? You don`t even know me!" „I do, kind of… I`m Alayna… wait a minute. This cannot be happening! This is not possible! It was just a movie! A story!" Elizabeth turned around too give Henry a look of confusion. „Alayna, Could you… explain this to us?" Elizabeth asked carefully. Alayna still felt extremely dizzy, but started to explain everything, still not really believing that she wasn`t dreaming.
Sola Fide Beach
The men stared at the young woman who had suddenly appeared. „Who are ye, missy?" The Captain asked in an unfriendly manner.
„Angelica Teach. I have been marooned here. Please take me with you." Angelica pleaded, but with confidence in her voice.
The pirates laughed. „Why should we do that?" One man asked, still laughing. „I am the daughter of Blackbeard. If you don`t do as I say, you won`t live to see anoher day." Angelica threatened. Captain Arthur got out of his boat and waded through the water to her. He spoke quietly, but with sucha threatening voice, it sent a shiver down Angelica`s spine.
„Now, listen, dearie. We will take ya to whereva ya want ta go." He said, his accent would remind Jack of Davy Jones. „But ya are ta treat us with respect, or you won`t live ta see anotha day. Is that clear enough for ya?"
Angelica swallowed alreadyhated these pirates, but it was either them or death. She could of course, have chosen to wait for Jack, but she doubted that he`d ever come back. And by the time he did, she`d be dead. She nodded and Arthur lead her over to the longboats and climbed in after her.
Tortuga
Jack, Teague and the rest of Jack`s crew were still in Tortuga. Jack had spent his whole day in the library, trying to find out how to get a ship out of a bottle. He hadn`t found out anything. „Gibbs! What do ye suggest?" Jack called in Gibbs`s direction who came rushing up to him.
„Jack, we`ll just have to do it the old-fashioned way: Try it out, until it works." Gibbs suggested, feeling very smart, but Jack rolled his eys, although Gibbs was right.
A little later, Jack and Gibbs headed down to the docks of Tortuga. Carefully, Jack simply opened the cork and placed the bottle in the water. Then, it vanished. „No! Me Pearl!" Jack screamed in horror. But then, from under the water, a huge ship with black sails emerged.
The Black Pearl.
Gbbs and Jack grinned widely. „My idea wasn`t so bad in the end, was it?" Gibbs mocked Jack. Jack was too busy admiring the Pearl, so he didn`t answer.
„The adventure begins." Jack grinned and turned around to Gibbs.
Then, they both boarded the Black Pearl.
