Shipwrecked- Part uno

Hello. I have been in such the writing mood lately, it's amazing. Here is the first part of a collaboration fanfic that I am writing with a bunch of Johnny Depp characters. I had a lot of fun writing Just a Bunch of Bananas, so I thought I would try it again with some other characters. Also, in a way, I am showing my support for Johnny in Alice in Wonderland! Can't wait to see it! Well read on and enjoy, The next part should be coming shortly :) Thanks for the support!

Part One

Jack Sparrow drunkenly crawled out of his captain’s quarters, steadying himself on the smooth wooden railing of the Black Pearl. He squinted up at the sun and pulled out his compass, checking the direction of the ship. The compass arrow spun erratically in his palm giving no clear direction.


“Bugga” Jack muttered, clearly annoyed. He snapped the compass shut and waltzed over to the starboard side of the ship. The boat sailed smoothly through the cerulean ocean water. He looked up at the tattered black sails that whipped in the strong ocean wind. It was a wonder those sails caught any wind at all. Jack headed to the front of the ship and pulled out his telescope. He peered through it, and his eyes focused on a giant coastline a few hundred miles off. As the ship chugged along, he was able to make out an empty beach, perfect for his arrival and anchoring of the pearl. Not so perfect were the razor sharp rocks that bordered the beach.

Jack’s eyes nearly burst from their sockets as he squealed in alarm, “not good!”

Jack sprinted to the wheel of the ship and turned the wheel as far as it would go to try and maneuver through the dangerous submerged stones. The ship sailed on, unable to turn in the strong current and headed straight for the rocks in his path. Jack shrunk against the wheel and held on tightly, preparing for the crash.

The pearl slammed straight into the jagged, granite surface, wood splintering and grating against the ocean floor as it rushed toward the beach. The boat bumped along and finally came to a creaking halt on the edge of the deserted beach. Jack peeked his head up from the wheel and blinked several times before righting himself again. He crept toward the front of the boat and nervously leaned over the side to examine to damage. The front starboard side of the ship was splintered and cracked up the side. There was a rather large hole in the side, eagerly welcoming the water that rushed in with the push of the waves. Jack ground his teeth and headed down below deck. He splashed through the water that was up to his ankle and on his way to the hole, grabbed a hammer, nails and some boards. He struggled to nail the boards over the gaping hole as water splashed in, pushing him backwards. He sputtered through the salty water, nailing the boards in place as best he could. After several minutes, he stepped back to survey his work. The hole was mostly covered, but it definitely wasn’t a permanent fix. Jack huffed. He would have to go into town to get supplies to repair it further. He emptied most of the water that drenched the floor and mopped up the rest that remained.

Physically tired, Jack climbed the ladder back up to the deck and closed the doors behind him. He locked them in place and turned on his heel to fetch his effects. Jack secured his hat, money purse, pistol, and cutlass, and after he had ‘locked up’ and dropped anchor, climbed down from the ship. He leapt onto the soft warm beach, sand caking his still wet boots and slacks. Jack looked around, judging the best direction to head in. He decided to head north, straight through the trees in front of him. It wasn’t the first time Jack had to navigate through unfamiliar forest. Jack took a deep breath, secured his belt once more and strode to the mouth of the forest, the trees closing in behind him
