Hey guys! So the 'plot bunny' has been in my head for a while now let me know what you guys think- please review! May be rated higher later for violence, depends where this goes. Enjoy!

Jack Sparrow staggered down the path, rum bottle in hand and Elizabeth following behind. Under the cover of night, he had rescued her from the island and taken her to the nearby port where the infamous captain lay in wait.

"How much farther Jack?" the woman said- cold, tired and scared. She had to trust this man with her life. She'd already lost so much. Will, their son, her father. She was all alone. She pulled his coat around her shoulders even more, not even bothering to ask him if he was cold. He was too drunk to care.

"Soon my dear" he called back to her

"Where are we going?"

"To see someone. Don't worry" he spun around, and gave her a flash of his grin, then stumbled around and continued walking.

They reached the tavern. He pushed the door open, and whispered for her to stay very close to him. Which was pointless. She knew how this worked. She'd dealt with pirates before. But none like this.

They headed up the stairs to the candlelit room at the top. A woman, with short blonde hair, rugged appearance, dressed in mostly leather, closed her hand around her sword. Upon seeing Jack, like many other women had before her, she drew the sword and pointed it at his throat.

"What the hell do you want?" she growled

"I just want to see your Captain" he said with a sway. "Be a dear and let us through"

The woman looked over Jack's shoulder and saw Elizabeth. "This isn't a brothel Sparrow. Now get lost"

"I do not know what you're suggesting darlin'." Jack said, pushing the sword back down to her side. He held the rum bottle out to her, which she took. "Please?" he said

The woman sighed, and let them pass, glaring at Elizabeth as she did.

Jack led Elizabeth towards the back. Elizabeth looked from side to side and saw a room filled with female pirates. She supressed a giggle as to why all of them were glaring at Jack, wondering how many hearts he'd broken. All the women looked up, except one. The Captain.

She sat with one leg propped up, and her hat pulled down over her eyes. She wore leather boots, and black shirt and black trousers. Her curly brown hair shimmered in the candlelight. On her left hand she wore a ring, and in her right had a rum bottle. She took a sip from, put it down on the table and reached for the dagger on her belt. She plunged it into the table, and everyone stood up and left.

Jack gestured to Elizabeth to sit down. The pirate still didn't look up. She sat staring into space, stretching her arm out to rest on her knee.

Elizabeth noticed a sword lying next to her on the bench, and various other weapons strewn about the room and on her belt. Jack hadn't spoken in a while, and he seemed very tense. The woman still hadn't looked up. From her boot, she pulled out a Spanish fan and started to fan herself.

"So come on then Sparrow. What in god's name do you want?" she snarled. She put down the fan, picked up the bottle and stretched her legs out on the table

"A favour" Jack said quietly "I need your help"

The woman started playing with the ring on her finger. "You have no right coming here, and asking me for anything! How'd you get past Kasha?"

"Rum" he said, with a grin "I know my dear, I know, but you knew I'd never come near you after the way… circumstances… things… changed. But this is important"

The woman, stood up quickly, and tilted her head up to face him. "Why should I help you?"

"Because I'm Captain Jack Sparrow" he grinned, and even though he had his back to her, Elizabeth could tell he was grinning

"That girl. You've gotten her into trouble?" the Captain said

"No!" they both said, Elizabeth throwing herself up from the chair and standing defensively next to him

"I am a married woman! And not to him!" Elizabeth saw Jack tense up, and the Captain look at her for the first time. She took a step towards her, and Elizabeth found herself backed up against the wall

"Who are you" she growled

"My name is Elizabeth. Jack came to rescue me, and needs your help to keep me safe until he works out why things have happened"

"Why should I help you?"

"Because she's Elizabeth Turner" Jack said quietly, having moved over to where the Captain had previously been sitting, sipping rum.

The Captain froze. But, never wanting to give away her emotions, backed away from Elizabeth.

"Calypso?" she asked, turning to Jack

"Not sure yet. I'm currently still thinking of some kind of explanation to all the happenings"

"Why do you need my help?"

"Because I promised the beloved Will Turner that I would keep her safe. My voyage ain't going to be safe- savvy?"

"We're going on a trip at first light. She won't be safe with us either. We're heading towards mermaid waters" the Captain said, putting her hands on her hips

"Look I don't care what you do, so long as she's still alive, by the time I get back!" Jack grinned, taking a swig from the rum bottle, and handing it to her.

"Fine." She said reluctantly "When will you be back?"

"Very soon. Probably in the same time your little trip will take. Do we have an accord?" he said, holding out his hand to her

She took it, they shook, and Jack then kissed her hand. The Captain raised her hand, and slapped him.

"Ok I deserved that" he said. He walked over to Elizabeth and pulled his coat off of her. He spun around in the doorway. "Thank you Pip" he said, and then waved Elizabeth over to him

"Just a quick something. The crew is made up only of women. They've all fled from land because of heartbreak. Pip is the captain, Kasha is the first mate. Do as she says. You do not want to get on the wrong side of her. She's a nasty piece of work. At the minute, she doesn't like you, but knows you need help. So she'll keep her word." He started to walk down the stairs, when Elizabeth grabbed his arm

"Jack." She said with a strong urgency "if you find Will"

"Oh I am not kissing him darlin'"

"Just tell him I love him"

Jack winked and staggered out of the tavern. Elizabeth turned back round to the stairs, and saw the blonde woman standing up the top of them.

She followed her up the stairs, where she showed her a place to sleep. "We're leaving at first light" Kasha said "You'll be fine. Just Pip… she's a little intense. You won't see a lot of her whilst we're on the ship. She never leaves her cabin except for a fight or, steering us through a storm. Just do as she says. Goodnight"

Elizabeth was left alone in the darkness. She didn't like Pip. She was too scary. However long Jack took to work out what needed to be done to save her was fine, but he really couldn't have left her with anyone worse.

In short, it all started a few months ago, when her son was found, drowned by the each of the coast. Ever since, the sea had almost been on a murderous rampage, hungry for Elizabeth's blood. Jack had been passing, and she told him. When Will turned up, as his ten years were up. The three of them sat on the beach, and Will made Jack promise to protect her, and to find out why Calypso wanted her blood. But Jack never mentioned having to be part of Pip's crew.

As she fell asleep, she wished Jack would hurry up. When she next saw him, she doubted she'd ever have been so relieved.

In the next room, Pip sat crouched in the corner. Kasha, weary as ever, sat near her. The look in her eyes showed that Pip had a plan. Despite it seemed odd that Pip would make a deal with any man, let alone Jack Sparrow, no sorry, Captain Jack Sparrow, she definitely had some mischief in her mind. But she should know better than to mess with Calypso. Her father had done it before her, and that didn't end well.

Across the room, Pip's eyes glimmered, and a sly grin spread across her face.
