Journey to the Island
Jack's POV
"Miss Jackie seems to of caught your eye" Gibbs says smirking.
"Just having some fun" I tell him as we head to my cabin. "Besides she is to young for me" I add as we enter my cabin.
"Hasn't stopped you before" Gibbs states.
"While that maybe true, I've matured" I state and he laughs.
"You mature, that's a good one Jack" he says chuckling. "You know Jackie looks a lot like Bootstrap's late wife" he states.
"Remarkable coincidence" I say waving my hand. "Now lets drink" I say handing him a bottle of rum. We start to drink discussing the voyage ahead before we pass out.
Jackie's POV
I walk out of my cabin after a night of rain and go to help Will. Who was helping Gibbs with the ropes. "How exactly did Jack come by that compass?" Will asks Gibbs.
"Not a lot's known about Jack Sparrow before he showed up in Tortuga with a mind to go after the treasure of the Isla De Muerta. That was before I'd met him. Back when he was captain of the Black Pearl" Gibbs states.
"He failed to mention that" I state as I glance at Jack with Will.
"He plays things closer to the vest now. And a hard-learned lesson it was. See, three days out on the venture, the comes to him and says everything's an equal share. That should mean the , too. So, Jack gives up the bearings. That night, there was a mutiny. They marooned Jack on and left him to die, but not before he'd gone mad with the heat" he explains.
"So that's the reason for" Will says impersonating Jack making me giggle.
"Reason's got nothing to do with it" Gibbs tells us. "Now Will, Jackie; when a pirate's marooned he's given a pistol with a single shot. One shot. Well, that won't do much good hunting or to be rescued. But after three weeks of a starving belly and thirst, that pistol will start to look real friendly. But Jack, he escaped the island, and he still has that single shot. Oh, but he won't use it though, save on one man. His mutinous first mate" he states.
"Barbossa" Will says.
"Aye" Gibbs says nodding his head.
"How did Jack get off the island?" I ask him confused.
" Well, I tell ye" Gibbs states and I smile, he obviously loves to tell stories. "He waded out in the shallows and he waited there three days and three nights, 'til all manner of sea creatures 'came acclimated to his presence. And on the fourth morning, he roped himself a couple of sea turtles, lashed 'em together, and made a raft" he explains.
"He roped a couple of sea turtles?" Will asks skeptically and I to am skeptical.
"Aye sea turtles" Gibbs says nodding his head.
"What he use for rope then?" I ask him smirking and he looks stumped. Just then a shadow falls over us and we turn to see Jack standing there. How long had he been listening?
"Human hair from my back" he tells us and I wrinkle my nose. "Let go anchor" he orders the crew and the order is repeated as the anchor is lowered into the water. "Mister Turner and I are to go ashore" he states.
"What about me Jack? She's my friend too" I state annoyed as I face him. He looks at me before grabbing me by the waist throwing me over his shoulder. "Jack Sparrow put me down this instant!" I shout as he walks to his cabin. He throws me into the room and shuts the door looking it. "Sparrow you are so dead when I get out of here!" I screech banging on the door.
"She doesn't come out until we return" I hear him tell someone and hear him walk away. I sigh in frustration and start to trash his cabin. I even threw the rum bottles at the door before sitting on the bed.
Will's POV
"Thanks Jack" I say as I row us over to the island. "I wanted her to be safe" I tell him.
"She'll always be safe with me around boy" he tells me.
"What code is Gibbs to follow is the worse should happen?" I ask.
"The pirates code, anyone who falls behind is left behind" he states. Then starts saying even with my pleak out look on pirates. I am well on my way to becoming one along with Jackie. I disagreed of course and we reached the cave.
