Chapter Two

Jack sat in his cabin. The waves of the sea crashed against the Pearl as Gibbs directed the ship in the given direction. Jack frowned and looked at the map. It was a map with the location of Isla De Muerta, but yet, who would look to find this cursed island, would only find sea.

He heard a knock on the wooden door of his cabin. Anamaria entered the room shortly after.

"Capt'n, we're here!"

Jack nodded and stood up from his chair. He took his hat and effects and followed Ana' outside. The Caribbean sun greeted his face as he blinked to block out the sun. He looked over the railing of the Black Pearl and looked around.

All he could see was sea. A few years years ago, Isla de Muerta was still here. He sighed.

"Just like I thought." He muttered softly to himself before walking back to his cabin to mark this on his map.

"Capt'n! New heading?"

Jack stopped his pace and turned around rather drunk before getting out his compass. It pointed in the direction of the south. He nodded and closed it again before walking to the wheel and direct the ship in the right direction.

"Keep this direction, I'll be in me cabin."

Gibbs nodded and took the wheel from Jack who descended the stairs and entered his excluded cabin.

"Did you like your cabin that much Grandpapa Jack?" Christian asked

Rose rolled her eyes and hit her brother on the head "Stop interrupting it!"

"Rose, don't hit yer brother!" Jack commanded

Jack ticked his compass and curiously it began to spin around like madness. Jack frowned and ticked the needle to stop it but it didn't work. He closed the compass and picked it up.

"I know what I want, I know what I want, I know what I want.." he muttered softly. He opened it again and sighed when he saw the needle spin around. Jack leaned back in his chair and rubbed his tired eyes.

"I need more rum for this."

He grabbed his bottle of rum from the floor and drank the last bits of the sweet liquid. He staggered to his bed and closed his eyes when he felt his pillow under his head. He rubbed his eyes again before drifting to sleep.

"Did you dream of Grandmama?"

"Christian! You're interrupting again!" Rose said angry as she crossed her arms over her chest, looking at her brother.

"Rose!" Rosemary whined "Sit down and listen to the story!"

"Capt'n! Wake up!"

"5 more minutes..." Jack muttered in his pillow and turned around.

Anamaria sighed impatient and rolled her eyes when she grabbed the blanket rom Jacks hands and tossed it at the other side of the bed. Jack woke up immediately.

"Me blanket!"

"I said 'Wake up!' " Anamaria tapped with her foot annoyed.

"…Oh." Jack said quietly

Jack stood up from his bed and yawned while stretching his arms. He looked at Anamaria and frowned.

"Wha' do you need me for?"

"We need a heading Capt'n." Anamaria leaned against the table and crossed her arms in front of her chest but took up the silver cup from the table and examined it. Jack rolled his eyes and grabbed the cup from her hands.

He placed it back on the table and walked out of the cabin with Anamaria following. Jack blinked from the sunlight but immediately walked to the wheel. He nodded to Mr. Gibbs and took out his compass.

"Where are we headed Capt'n?"

Jack thought for a moment before smirking and replying "Tortuga."

Gibbs smiled at Jack and nodded

"A little more west..." Jack muttered

Jack closed the compass and took over the wheel from Gibbs who went to help the crew with the chores.

"When I grow up! I'm going to be a pirate! Just like you Grandpapa Jack!"

"Christian! Momma will never allow that!" Rose said as a matter of fact.

"Momma was a pirate herself!"

"That doesn't mean she wants us to be!"

Jack rolled her eyes and motioned the children to be quiet. Anne had make sure the children knew that their parents and grandparents were pirates, but neither John or Anne wanted the three children to grow up to be pirates.

Of course, they were allowed to sail on the Black Pearl with Jack and meet the life of the sea, but they both knew that being a pirate was dangerous, and they wanted their children to grow up before they went to explore the sea.

"Still, I am going to be the best pirate that ever sailed the seas!"

"No you're not! Grandpapa Jack is!" Rose said, lifting up her head from Jack's shoulder.

Jack rolled his eyes and just continued the story.

X

"Jack! We're coming up on Tortuga!"

Jack nodded and directed the ship into the harbour of the most famous pirate town in the world. He smiled when he saw fights on the street, and rum crates all over the place. He nodded to the crew who scurried off the ship as soon as the anchor was down.

"You're not coming Ana'?" Jack asked while he was about to walk of the ship. Anamaria turned around and looked at him.

"No, seen it all before." She informed him "I'm going to watch the ship."

Jack frowned and nodded slowly before walking of the ship. He looked behind him once more and shrugged before walking to the city that never sleeps.

Anamaria sat in her cabin, looking to the ceiling as her hands were behind her head. She didn't smile, or laugh. She wasn't sad or angry. She was numb. She took a deep breath and sighed.

"Ye know, that ceiling ain't changing any time soon."

She shot up surprised. Jack stood at the door, leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed in front of him. She raised an eyebrow and laid back down.

"Shouldn't you be drinking rum in one of the taverns?"

"Seen it all before Love." Jack smirked

Anamaria didn't answer as she kept looking up to the ceiling.

"Somethings telling me that you're troubled."

He heard her snort from her position and he smirked a little. He would have her talk, even if it would cost him the whole night.

"Just leave Jack..I want to be alone for now."

Jack frowned, she sounded so sad as she said that. Jack nodded softly and left the room. He looked over his shoulder.

"Just know ye can talk to me when ye want Love."

Jack left the room and Ana' sighed sadly. She looked at the door where Jack had been standing a few minutes ago and said sadly to herself.

"I know Jack, I know."
