Hey guys! Here's the sequal to Rebecca Sparrow and the first chapter. Enjoy! xx Pirategirl031291 xx
Rebecca Sparrow, which was once her full name, her full name now is Rebecca Anne Sparrow. After leaving Port Royal three years ago her father Jack Sparrow gave her a middle name. She asked him why he chose Anne and he said it was his mother's name.
Bex, as she is now known as, was nineteen years old. Since then Jack had taught her how to handle a sword and practically everything that comes with being a pirate. Or piratess as Jack preferred to call her.
Bex stood at the side of the Black Pearl waiting for Jack to return from the Turkish Prison when she let out a sigh. "How long does it take to get a drawing of a key?" she asked herself as she stared into the water.
"Did you say something Miss Becky?" asked Gibbs from behind her making her jump.
"No, no I didn't" said Bex. "Just looking out for my dad that's all, he's been a while now."
"Well here he comes now" said Gibbs walking down the stairs with Bex following him. "Not quite according to plan" he said helping Jack out the water only to receive a skeletal leg.
"Complications arose, ensued, we're overcome" he said walking straight over to Bex.
"You alright?" he asked kissing on the head. She nodded.
"Did you get it?" she asked quietly. He nodded. Jack did keep a lot of secrets from the crew, but not from Bex. If there was anything he was planning she would always know about, at the end of the day she was his flesh and blood
"You got what you went in for then?" asked Gibbs.
"Yes" he said waving a piece of rolled cloth around and was then met by a disgruntled crew.
"Captain, I think the crew – meaning me as well – was expecting something a bit more, shiny. What with the Isla de Muerta going all pear-shaped, reclaimed by the sea and the treasure along with it" said Gibbs.
"And the Royal Navy chasing us all around the Atlantic" said one of the pirates.
"And the hurricane!" said Marty.
"All in all, it seems some time since we did a speck of honest pirating" said Gibbs.
"Shiny?" asked Jack who looked at Bex for help.
"Sorry, you're on your own" she said.
"That girl is always in on everything you do" said the pirate.
"That girl?" said Jack. "That girl just happens to be my daughter, so you better watch what you say about her in front of me" said Jack angrily and after a moment's pause he spoke up again. "Is that how you're all feeling then? Perhaps dear ol' Jack is not serving your best interests as captain?"
"Awk, walk the plank!" squawked the parrot.
"What did the bird say!?" shouted Jack.
"Do not blame the bird. Show us what is on that piece of cloth there" asked the same pirate once again.
Everyone looked at the piece of cloth in Jack's hand and Bex suddenly noticed the monkey swinging from behind Jack ready to grab the cloth but Bex got there before him.
"Bloody monkey!" she whispered to herself giving it a dirty look. "Look, if he doesn't want you all to know what is on that cloth, then you have to just deal with it, he's your captain and you should all respect his privacy."
"Well that's alright for you to say, because he tells you everything that goes on" said the pirate.
"I'm his daughter!" she said as if it were obvious.
"True" he said, "but I still wish to know what is on that cloth."
Bex looked at her father waiting to see if it was ok to reveal what was on the cloth.
"Go on, it's fine" he said.
Bex unravelled the cloth. "It's a key."
"No, much more better it's a drawing of a key!" declared Jack taking the cloth out of Bex's hands. "Gentlemen and lady, what do keys do?"
"Key... unlock things?" said the pirate.
"And whatever this key unlocks, inside there's something valuable. So, we're setting out to find whatever this key unlocks!" said Gibbs excitedly.
"No" said Jack simply confusing Gibbs. "We don't have the key, we can't open whatever it is we don't have that it unlocks. So, what purposed would be served in finding whatever needs be unlocked, which we don't have, without first having found the key what unlocks it?"
"Amazingly I got that" said Bex.
"Of course you did, you're my daughter" he said proudly.
"So, we're going after the key?" asked Gibbs.
"You're not making any sense at all" said Jack confusing Gibbs even more.
Bex looked at the crew and saw how baffled they all looked. "Basically he's saying, what's the point in looking for something that needs unlocking when we don't have the key."
"Ah!" they all said finally understanding what Jack was going on about.
"Any more questions?" asked Jack.
"So... do we have a heading?" asked Marty.
"Ah!" said Jack taking out his compass. "A heading. Set sail in a... general... that way direction" he said pointing in some random direction.
"Captain?" Gibbs asked looking at Jack strangely.
"Come on. Snap to and make sail, you know how this works!" he cried shooing all the pirates out the way as he headed for his cabin. "Bex come with me please" he called. As Bex made her way to the Captain's Quarters the crew eyed her suspiciously.
"You can't keep secrets from all the time you know," said Bex sitting down in a chair opposite Jack. "They're your crew, you owe them that much."
"I know, I know" said Jack. "It's just that the person this key is connected to I have quite a bit of history with."
"Do you know where the key is?" asked Bex. Jack shook his head. "Or what it leads to?" Once again Jack shook his head. "That's helpful."
"I'll get the rum" said Jack.
