[Pirate Guy]

Chapter 2; The Ways of a Pirate


Here is Chapter 2 mates! Hope you like it.


As Matt headed in, he was immediately engulfed by the whispers of the dead, and the cold chills. He couldn’t see very far due to the many trees and that eerie fog that has started to appear around Port Royal. He continued on, despite his mind telling him to stop and turn back, to turn back to his warm, cozy home. He continued on, brushing away the trees. He thought, “My mom is going to kill me, my shoes are all muddy.” He took his next step and was bombarded with arrows flying around him, he ducked and avoided them. A band of 6 or so pirates came up to him and one drew a sword to young Matt’s head.


“Who dares enter the jungle?” said one pirate. The others came up closer to Matt. One by one they glanced at Matt with disapproving looks, and Matt saw the drunken faces of many disgusting looking pirates.


“My name is Matthew,” he said, voice shaking.


“Why are you in our jungle?” said the biggest pirate of them all, and the most disgusting of them all. They all wore tattered clothes, common for the Caribbean pirates.
“It’s a long story, but basically my family needs money, we are facing debts and the fast approaching threat of having to move to a shack on Cuba… How awful would that be?”


“So, you came into the jungle in search of the fabled treasure then eh?” said their apparent leader, he was designated by the fine Black Pirate Bandana. “Well, I would stay out.” said another pirate.


“Well, if he needs treasure so bad, then he can join the crew of the Black Pearl, finest looting pirates in all the 7 seas…” said a man named Josh Gibbs. “A pleasure to meet you, first mate Josh Gibbs at your service.”


For a second, just one second, Matt considered his offer to join the Pearl, and wasn’t Jack captain of that ship? Well, Matt politely declined, and was happy enough to exit the jungle alive, with all his body parts attached to him. He went back to his house and his parents asked where he was, and he said he went into the jungle.
“Don’t ever go back into that jungle Matt!” his mom said. “That was where your lost older brother ran into 4 years ago, and he never came back.”


“Don’t worry mom, it was fine, I even met up with some pirates” Matt said with a half-smile. This enraged his parents and, once again he was sent to his room. He thought and thought some more, and he went downstairs and talked to his parents. “There is treasure in the jungle! If we find it, we will be rich! And we won’t be in debt!” His dad quickly said, “Son, we don’t need that treasure. We will work off our debt by ourselves. It has been a long day. I must get back to work.”


Matt awoke the next day and his parents were gone. A note was left on the door. It read;
“To Whom It May Concern.”


The owner of this residence has failed to pay his/her debts and has been taken away to the jail cells in a far off island. This house is now property of The Royal Navy. All kids will be taken to the relatives of the owners. All items will be sold at the Royal Market unless payment can be made before the New Year on 1 January. Please do not be alarmed, everything will be fined and the owners will be released soon. Good day.


~With best regards, The Royal Navy.



“Where are my siblings? It seems they have already been taken away.” Matt thought. He turned and loo ked outside and saw the Navy approaching. He gathered whatever items he had, and quickly ran off through an open window in the far corner of the house. “That darn Navy, first they kill some of my family, and now they have my parents. I hate them.”


He ran over to his Uncles house and saw his siblings crying in the corner. After leaving a note explaining his reasoning, Matt quickly got an idea and headed back to that dreaded jungle. He searched and searched and searched and the pirates weren’t there. He headed to the main docks and saw them about to shove off. He ran up to them and said he wanted to join them. They said they would let him join, but they must go to Tortuga, to get Jack.
After getting Jack, he accepted his offer and told him he needed to change his name. Matt thought about and wanted something uncreative, and noticeable, easy to remember. He thought about it some more. “I would like to go by Pirate Guy!”


“Well,” grinned Jack Sparrow, “not the most creative name, but it will do. Mates, lets shove off, we have much work to do. “So, Pirate Guy, why did you decide to join us?”
“Well, my parents were taken away by the Navy. I want to find treasure, to repay our debt.” Pirate Guy said


“Pirate Guy, are there any other reasons?” asked Jack. “Well, the navy killed my uncle, Jack Stromfellow (not a real player) he was a great person.”


“Pirate Guy, I must tell ye something,” said Sparrow. The two leaned in closer. “Your uncle, Jack, was a very notorious pirate, and was Captain of the ship, The Tide Lion, well; it seems you have natural-born piracy running through your veins, another fine reason to join. Well, if it be treasure ye be after, treasure ye shall get!


Pirate Guy was starting to like the idea of a pirate aboard the Pearl, especially knowing he was a natural born pirate. One more surprised awaited him. He happened to be scrubbing the decks when a familiar face approached. “Hello, little brother,” said the pirate. “Are you really my brother?” Guy stammered. “Yes, yes. I too went into the jungle and joined the ranks of this here ship, since I was a natural born pirate as well. But I go by a new name now, just call me Sharktooth, or Sharky, if ye prefer. Well, nice to have ya aboard Pirate Guy!” Sharktooth chuckled softly as he whistled away the tune of “Married to the Sea.”



That concludes Chapter 2 guys! Tell me what ya be thinking about it!
