Chapter 1-Another Adventure

Okay two chapters in two days be impressed cause it won't happen very often at the moment, I have around 14 alevel exams coming up so story writing is on hold until the 25th of June ish. This chapter is the only way I could get my boyfriend to publish his story (please look at it resident evil story on my profile) anyway read and enjoy. I don't own POTC but Scarlet is my own amazing invention.

It had taken me around two weeks to track down the Black Pearl again. Jack and I had parted our separate ways for a bit while I sorted my crew out. It was only gonna be for a couple of months, but due to the letter I had barely been back a week before I left again. Rumours in Tortuga had told me that Captain Jack Sparrow along with the Black Pearl could be found in the Turkish prisoner. It had taken me a week after the information was given to 'borrow' a boat and make my way to the location.

I pulled up alongside the Pearl and called up to the deck, "Oi, up there someone."

It only took a moment for Gibbs to run over to the edge of the rail and look down at me, "Miss Jones?" he questioned.

"Cap'n Jones!" I corrected a habit I had sadly picked up from being around Jack, "Now give us a lift up."

It took a moment for Gibbs to throw down a rope for me to be lifted aboard the ship.

I landed in a graceful manner for once and dusted myself down before turning around to face Gibbs, "Where is Jack?" I asked simply.

"In his cabin? Why are ye 'ere lass?" Gibbs asked.

"When someone sends you a letter, you usually reply," I yelled back over my shoulder before walking through the Captain Cabin doors.

"Lass he said he didn't want to see anyone," I could hear the worry in Gibb's voice as he called out to me.

I closed the door behind me as I entered the cabin. It was exactly how I remember it being. With Jack facing the window, a bottle of rum in his hand.

"I thought I said I ain't to be disturbed unless it was life threatening," Jack voice cut through the air sounding slightly angry which worried me.

I decided to mess around with him, "Oh but Jack, I thought I was important," My voice was pleasing, helpless.

Jack turned around and stared at me in shock as if he wasn't expecting me here. He sprinted over to me and kissed me senseless. It took me a moment to response back to him kissing him just as hard back. A couple of month that we had been apart felt like too long to me. He pulled away eventually resting his forehead against mine, "Someone's happy to see me," I laughed lightly.

"Just a little," Jack said in a teasing voice, "To what do I owe the pleasure Cap'n Jones?"

"I got your message, I was worried," I said.

I softly ran my hand down the side of his face, watching as his perfect teasing smile drop down into a serious frown as if something I had said had upset him, "What I tell you never leaves this room?"

"Jack. You're scaring me!" I said staring into his eyes which looked so sad.

"Promise?" he pressed me.

"Of course," I replied wanting to know what was going on more than anything.

"What do you know of Davy Jones?" Jack asked his voice cracking as he said the name.

"The most feared pirate by all men, the bringer of death. The man or creature who defied the gods so ended up the way he is," I recited what I had been told about him, indicating the tenticals that covered his face with my hand. Jack looked down guilty at the ground, my heart froze in my chest as I realised why Jack had asked, I could barely get the question out of my throat, "Please tell me you didn't make a deal with him Jack?" he didn't response, my eyes filled with tears that spilt down my face, "How long?"

Jack grabbed me and pulled me into his arms, hugging me close like his life depended on it, "I promised thirteen years as Cap'n then I would serve for a hundred years," he admitted in my ear before pushing his face against my hair and breathing me in.

I felt myself crying harder the tears getting clogged up in my throat as I tried to speak, "No one comes off that ship alive Jack. Why make the deal?" I felt like yelling at him for being so stupid, but instead I chose to punch him hard in the chest knowing I had to take my angry out on something, "I just got you back an' then…how could you do something so damn stupid?"

Jack grabbed my hands as I moved to hit him again before kissing my knuckles. I collapsed in his arms sobbing so hard and holding him so tight, "I don't know love, I don't know."

Jack tried to move me to the bed but I found I couldn't control my feet. He instead picked me up in a bridal position and carried me down onto the bed before laying down next to me, normally I would have pointed out that I could walk, but I didn't have the strength to speak let alone walk.

I curled up by Jack side as he run his hand up and down my back as my sobbing stopped, it was as if I had no tears left to cry. Jack light breath filled the air as he managed to sleep next to me.

There were crackles of thunder playing a symphony in the clouds. I closed my eyes and listened praying that I could find a way of saving Jack before it was too late.
