Hello my awesome readers,

So here is the first chapter for Book 3. If you haven't read the first to I would suggest reading Book 1 and Book 2 before reading this.

I hope you all like it. Please review! Please no hate. If you don't like the concept of this story then don't read it.

Chapter 1

Jade's POV

Darkness was one of mine and Elizabeth's covers as I rowed our peapod canoe. We both wore dark men's clothing and large bamboo hats that covered all of our noticeable appearances. We didn't say anything to each other because it would end up with me either yelling and cursing at her (Which we didn't need due to not only the Royal Navy being here, but also the EITC agents) or imagining her head as a piñata, and the oar in my hand as the stick.

As I imagine you can tell, I didn't much care for being thrown in this damn canoe with her. In fact, I was contemplating about the off chance we would be caught by the Royal Navy how I would leave her to the proverbial wolves as it were while I made my escape.

'You promised Will that you would play nice… for now,' the annoyingly truthful voice in my head whispered as a scowl formed on my face. Oh yes the damn promise I made my dear friend William not to let any harm to come to his beloved. I still don't bloody know why I agreed. I must have been drunk, but I've never really been that drunk either… Ugh!

I suppressed a growl as I looked across the dark murky water ahead of us. I was waiting to see the city where we would have to start singing the song that would alert the men of a very well-known pirate lord, Sao Feng, that we were here.

When we got to the edge of the city, I silently handed the oar to Elizabeth resisting the urge to hit her over the head with it as I rubbed my sore arms. I took a deep breath of the air as we passed underneath a bridge.

"The King and his men stole the queen from her bed, and bound her in her bones. The seas be ours and by the powers. Where we will, we'll roam," I began to sing softly as Elizabeth rowed our canoe down the canal of Singapore. I pulled my hat lower to hide my face even more as I thought about Alyssa who was with Tia Dalma right now. Gibbs, Autumn, Tia, and I thought that she would be safer staying with Tia since if things were to go all to hell she wouldn't be any where's near the action to get hurt or worse killed.

"Yo-ho all hands. Hoist the colours high. Heave-ho, thieves and beggars. Never shall we die," I sang softly as I looked around making sure my face was hidden under my hat.

"Some have died and some are alive. Others sail on the sea. With the key to the cage, and the Devil to pay. We lay to Fiddler's Green. The bell has been raised from its watery grave hear it sepulchral tone. A call to all. Pay heed to squall," Elizabeth began to sing along with me, but we both were forced to stop when the Royal Navy soldiers pass over the bridge above us.

When we were finally out of their ear shot, we continued, "Turn your sails to home. Yo-ho haul together. Hoist the colours high." We finally had docked near the place where we were supposed to meet Barbossa.

I climbed out of the canoe not even offering a hand to Elizabeth who was struggling slightly, but had manage to get herself out of it. I looked around trying to see if we had attracted any of Sao Feng's men's attention. "Heave-ho. Thieves-" I was interrupted by my old friend Tai Haung who had stepped out of the shadows with two men flanking him.

"Thief and beggar. Never shall we die," Tai Haung finished for me. He smiled creepily towards us as he addressed me, "Dangerous song to be singing, Jade, for any who are ignorant of its meaning. Particularly two women… Particularly two women alone."

I glared at him, but before anything could be said Barbossa came out of nowhere. "What makes you think they're alone?" He asked as I sent him a thankful smile. "You protect them?" Tai asked as he nodded toward us with a quirked eyebrow. Elizabeth drew a dagger, grabbed Tai, and pressed the blade to his neck. She placed her chin on his shoulder and turned her head so her lips were near his ear. "And what makes you think we need protecting?" she growled in a whisper as the two men that had come with Tai cocked their pistols and aimed them at her.

I stood back making no indications that I would help her. Tai seemed to have noticed this as he nodded knowing that she did something extremely wrong to me for me not to come to her aid. "Your master's expecting us," I stated my eyes remaining firmly on Tai's. "And an unexpected death would cast a slight pall on our meeting," Barbossa sighed as he sent a disapproving look at Elizabeth.

Elizabeth let go of Tai and stepped back with her hands up in the air in a mock surrender. That's when we heard the soldiers coming. We put our backs up against the wall, and slid into a sewer like entrance.
