••••chapter 14••••

Jacks pov:

First thing on my mind was Maria

But to my surprise she wasn't there.
She wasn't next to me at all. I guess we're starting the day off with a early swing of rum

After fixing myself up a bit Somewhat decent enough for a pirate fine as myself I went to grab my hat but aye, there's a note?

I could immediately tell it was Maria's writing

+*

Dear Jack, I apologize for what I have to do
Please don't think the worst
Everything I do is with reason
Keep an eye on the horizon

*+

I laughed crumbling the note in my hand

I felt myself shaking in rage

I walked out making my way up to where Gibbs would be and found him leaning on a barrel half awake his hat covering most his face

"Get up you Gibbs, I need you to check every inch of this place for that Norrington" he flinched waking up

"Up now you, aye cmon Gibbs" I snapped at him repeatedly till he finally stood on his feet
"Aye captin' " 

-

I looked over my ship from the top of the Pearl
I couldn't believe it, someone I adore more than gold, silver, rum and my precious Pearl was off with some other pirate doing god knows what

I still trembled in anger

To who was I angry with? Norrington and myself included. I should have protected Maria better and kept her by me at all times and now where is she? Aye but off with some half-ass man that calls himself a pirate. But I know better. He's nothing more than a issue in my way. And I swear on my Pearl I get rid of my issues through and through

I took my last swing of my rum and smashed on a wall

-

"What is it that has you wasting perfectly good rum this early on in the day?" Hector spawned behind me. I rested my palms on the rails "it seems norrington has Maria on his ship. For what? I don't know. But what I do know it's when I see that man again he'll be tossed into the sea as shark food"

"Maria's a smart woman, I keep it to her she knows what she's doing. Don't worry yourself Jack, trust the lady"

As much as I didn't want to admit it the pirate has a bloody good point. She's a smart dashing woman. My gal knows what she's doing

-

The sudden noise of That bilge rat Will hurrying up from the lower deck

"Jack!" He looked at barbossa instead of me- I pointed at Hector "honestly turner I'm a bit hurt how you don't know by now I'm Jack that there is Hector" I adjusted my hat on my head "the difference between us is hat size, I like mine a bit smaller"

He scoffed "no not you Jack! The monkey Jack! He has a note!" Hector and I gave each other a look before that slick monkey dropped on his shoulder with a note

Hector had a' look on his face I didn't like, then again I don't necessarily like his face anyways-

"What"I Asked and he remained silent and I only grew more impatient so I did, I snatched the note

+*

I'm sorry for disappearing jack,
Trust and believe me when I say
everything I do is with reason
I love you
Ps - check your empty rum bottles under deck

*+

I slammed the note on the wood table and hurried down bellow deck

"Jack mate where are you going?!" Will yelled up above

With whatever light letting in under deck I went through the bottles till I found one with what seemed to be a piece of cloth inside

I took it up to The crew

"What has gotten into the captain"

"I'm perfectly fine thank you, now hold this" I handed the man the bottle

"Now what am I to do with thi-"

I pulled out my gun and shot the thing. glass shattered completely

"What was that for?" I put my gun back "calm yourselves the all of you or the next thing I shoot is at you" the crew went silent as I picked up the cloth

"What is it?" Will mate you fool

"It's a map"

The whole crew goes crazy again

Ah my brilliant Maria

"Hector, wallaby" we've got our next stop

The crew cheers on from bellow, I go up to front of the ship behind the wheel. I'm getting my maria back even if that means I need to kill in the process

-

Maria's pov:

I was away from the rest of the crew, James didn't let me do not one thing, and i couldn't believe that I would ever complain about not being able to get my hands dirty but I miss being able to do my own things

I like getting my hands dirty

Staring out into the never ending sea was my only way to feel some sort of comfort so far away from home so far away from Jack

I had to remind myself that what I was doing was for the best and with great reason. I couldn't help but feel anxious no not because I was on a ship but because it was either I end Jones' life or he ends mine. There was no other way around

But I will do whatever it takes to be able to come out alive the trap I'm practically diving into. Knowing I would be with Jack again and with my father if everything goes to plan is what kept me going it's that That kept me determined
