I wole up staring at the sky. The wood of a deck was hard beneath my head. "Ahh, the little miss has awoken." I heard a voice say. Near me I saw a man with a short beard that was in two small braids.

"Who are you?" I asked.

My throat was so dry, it felt like someone had poured sand in it. The man looked at me and I wondered, " Is he wearing eyeliner?"

"The names Captain Jack Sparrow. Welcome aboard mate," he said.

I had heard stories about this man, but never believed that I would see him. "Why am I here?" I asked.

Shrugg he said, "Inquizitive little lass, aren't we? Point is, I find you on some island and thought 'why not!' So here you are on my ship. Savvy?"

I looked at this strange pirat with wonder. I coughed, my throat dry as bone. "You alright love?" The confusing captain asked.

"I'm fine," I lied, "just tired." the sun felt so hot, beating down on me. I was actually bit tired. You would be too if you woke up on a pirate ship!

"You should get some shade love. Wouldn't want you frying out here," Jack commented. I nodded and tried to get to my feet, but my legs wobbled And I collapsed to the ground with a cry. Jack lookedat me asking, "Well whyd you do that?" I honestly wanted to slap that grin off his pirate face. "Just help me," I grunted. Snorting, he extended a grimy hand. I relucttantly took it and was pulled onto my feet.
