A/N hiya! I decided to do another long-fic, and I don't think I'll give up after 2 chapters this time... anyway this is set when Jack's only had the pearl for a while, but because I'm not going to make the movie happen he has the crew that he had at the end of the movie if that makes sense, cuz I don't like Barbossa & that crew... Anyway enjoy...

Jack walked through the town center of Tortuga. The sound of an auction- taking place caught up with his ears and made him stop. Turning so that he could see what was taking place, a look of disgust made itself apparent on his face. Slave auctions. He hated them and would normally steer clear of them. This time however was different.
Standing on the stand, like a piece of meat, a girl that couldn't be more then 17 or 18 was in shackles, shaking as the man started off the bidding. Tears clearly visible on her face, as it went up between two men, both as horrible as each other.
Feeling sorry for the girl on the stand Jack put his hand up to bid for her. Going higher then either of the men before would go for her, Jack won her in the auction. At the end of it she was shoved into his possession as he handed over the money.
Still shaking the girl looked at her new 'master' waiting and wondering what was going to happen to her next. She hoped he hadn't bought her just to sell on, as he didn't look like the sort of man that would want or need to buy the slaves.
Jack walked away, with the girl still following to an alleyway. She was clearly scared of what he was going to do with her in the ally. When his hands came up to her's she took them away as her immediate reaction. Knowing that when she resisted she got punished, she hung her head awaiting something that never came.
"I'm not going t' hurt ye, but I do need t' get the shackles off. Savvy." Bottom lip trembling she lifted her head to look at him. This time when his hands came towards hers instead of taking then back she put them forward. "What's yer name?"
"Number 3.2.4.5." Jack looked at the girl.
"You don't have a name."
"Number 3.2.4.5." Jack rubbed his forehead.
"That's what yer mother called ye is it. A number." The girl shook her head.
"What did she name ye?" The girl looked at him wide eyed.
"I... I don't remember." Jack gave a tiny laugh.
"You don't remember your own name. How could ye forget it?" once again her bottom lip began to tremble. Jack brought his hand to her arm, making her flinch slightly. Lifting her sleeve gashes of all sizes could be seen. "Jesus." Jack looked up at her and she just looked back, not knowing what to say, not knowing what she could say without being in trouble. He was the first person not to of attack her as soon as she was in his 'possession' and had been nice to her. She had almost forgotten what it was like to have someone be nice to her.

After taking the shackles off her wrists, neither of them said anything as they walked back to the Black Pearl. The girl was too frightened to say or ask anything still not knowing what kind of man, or who he was even, had brought her, and Jack just didn't know what to say to her. What do you say to someone who thinks their name is a number?
"Welcome t' the black pearl Luv." The girl's eyes were once again wide as she looked around the ship with them. Plucking up courage to ask him a question she started off.
"What..." stopping again not knowing if she should ask question because of what she had been told in the past. Jack look at her curiously.
"What d' ye want t' ask?" looking at her, and realizing she must of thought she couldn't talk until spoken to he went to reassure her. "Your aloud t' ask questions and talk on me ship. No one will hut ye."
"This... this is your ship?"
"Aye."
"But you don't look that old." Jack frowned. "I thought captains were supposed to be mid 30's not 20's."
"And how do you know I'm mid 20's?"
"Because of how you look." Jack studied the girls face.
"Aye, well ye wrong." The girl frowned.
"How old are you then?"
"22. Early 20's not mid." The girl smiled for the first time in years. Getting more confidence talking as she went along she wanted to ask him the question she had wanted to since meeting him.
"Why do I know your age but not your name? Are you trying to be a number too?" Jack grinned at her.
"No. Captain Jack Sparrow." A silence ran between them. "Remember yours yet?" She look at him.
"Yes." Jack looked surprised and waited for her to tell him. When she didn't he prodded her.
"And it is..."
"Ana Maria."
