Aila filled the crews in about the whole plan. But the only problem was her crew. They didn't want her alone with Jack and his crew. So they argued which didn't not sit well with Aila.
" I don't care if you all think I should not be alone. I trust Jacks crew. Maybe not Jack but I WILL be fine. I can kick his arse if he tries anything. "Aila yelled towards her crew.
" Pardon my intrusion Captain Jones but maybe at least a couple people should come with you. Maybe five at the least? " Lilly her first mate suggested.
Aila seemed deep in thought. She finally spoke up. " If it's alright with Captain Sparrow maybe three crew members. Jack what do ya say? " She asked.
" Aye it's alright . I respect that yer crew wants to protect ya. BUT if they are to be on me ship they 'ave to do as I order. Savvy? " Jack said.
Ailas crew was silent. So Aila spoke up " Aye that they will. Right mates? " They didn't answer but they were glaring daggers at Jack. Alia was angry that they were not replying so she yelled " MATES! If ya don't answer me know you won't live to see the damned daylight! " At this they all said " Aye. " Jack was obviously impressed with Aila for scaring the living blood cells out of them. Jack smiled.
" Now who will be on me ship with ya Aila? " Aila looked at him.
" Hmmm…. How 'bout….. Chrissie…Jessie…and Peter?" She smiled " Yeah those three. Lilly I know yer my first mate and all but I need ya to take the Throttle to Greece for me. I can let you know if anything is wrong before you can say rum." Lilly looked at her and nodded in agreement. Jack looked at Aila with curiosity and confusion.
"Aila 'ow will you let 'em know if anything is wrong even if yer miles away? " Aila smiled at this.
" Mates! Pull 'em out! " She commanded. Each of her crew members took out a necklace out of their shirts. They were all the same shape as a mermaid. They were silver with a blue tail. The mermaid resembled Aila in a weird way. And all of her crewmembers had one. Except Aila. She had nothing of the sort. " These necklaces were made by Tia Dalma herself she put a charm on them so that whenever I want to tell the crew something or warn them about something all I have to do is concentrate and tell them through my mind. Or when I am in danger the mermaid's tale turns orange, when I am hurt it turns red, when I am betrayed it turns a light green, and when I am dead it turns white. They too can tell me something important by those necklaces all they have to do is hold the necklace and then say something in their mind and I'll hear it in my head. "
" How do you send them messages you must have some sort of jewelry or something to tell them like they do? "
" I don't have to use anything. "
" So how? "
" You will see soon enough. "Aila said in a mysterious tone with a grin on her pretty face.
" Tell me….please. " Jack said surprising everyone that he actually said please.
Mates, should I tell him? I trust him and all but he might use it as an advantage. Maybe it's best that I don't tell him. Aila thought.
Captain, you should tell him now. He's bound to find out sooner or later. Lilly's voice said in Ailas head. The rest of her crewmates agreed with her. Aila gave it some thought.
"Fine Jack, but I swear if you tell anyone that is not from yer crew I will kill you myself. Savvy? " He nodded. " And Jacks crew if you hear what I have to say do you swear not to tell a living or dead soul? " They all nodded as did Will and Elizabeth. " Good because if I find out you do. I will make sure you suffer for eternity." She waited for them all to say something but they all just nodded and she continued. "I don't have to use anything because I have the power to tell people things through my mind and to let people see what I am feeling through those necklaces. " She paused and went on, "The reason I can is because….I'm…. a siren. " Everyone gasped but Jack he just laughed.
" Love do you honestly think I am going to buy that? " He asked. But Aila looked as if she were going to rip his head off with her bare hands.
" Yes I do. Why do you think the necklaces are in the form of a mermaid. Why do you think they resemble me? " Jack immediately shut up. " That's what I thought. My mother was a siren of the sea. My father fell in love with her as she did him. She was very powerful, she gave up her immortality for him. To be with him. She still had her voice and some powers of hers. But she was mortal. Five years after they married she got pregnant with me which was against the rules even for mortal sirens. She became more like an immortal siren, harsh, nasty, and unloyal. That was her consequence for being pregnant with me. One day she just left him leaving him a note saying she hated him. "
There was a long pause after she told everyone that explanation. "She did love him. I know it. Inside she knew it. But Davy. He became cold and heartless….Until he found out about me. "Aila said looking at the ground sadly. She looked back up to Jack staring at her with wide eyes. "What?" She said surprisingly calm.
"What happened to your mother? " He said.
"She died when I was just only nineteen. I don't even know how. "
"Did you know you were a siren when you met me? "
Aila looked at Jack. "No, I didn't. I found out at age twenty-one when a siren is legal age to use and know of her powers. I knew about my father after my mother died. "
"So why didn't you tell me Davy Jones was your father when we met? "
"Because I didn't want to be known as "Davy Jones Daughter "but as myself. So I told no one. "Everyone was silent and then Jack spoke up.
"Aila what kind of powers do you have? " Aila looked as if she wanted to kill Jack for asking but got calm.
"Well from what I know of so far- "
Jack cut her sentence off and said, "So Far? "
"Yes know do you want to hear what kind of powers I have or not? " Jack nodded. "Then shut the bloody hell up or I won't tell ye a damn thing! " Jack was silent. "Now then. I can talk to people through my mind but they can only reply if they have a necklace from Tia Dalma. I can talk to sea animals. I can make waves and hurricanes. I can swim really fast. I can turn myself into my siren form, or as everyone knows it as mermaid form. I make wind but can not reduce it. Oh and I-"
"Oh My Goodness! " Elizabeth yelled looking at the table.
"Liz darling what is wrong? " Will asked.
"Alias finger nails turned from a dark blue color to a lighter blue color. All by itself. "Elizabeth said. Everyone looked at your left hand as you did.
"I guess I forgot to but my glove back on. " You were about to put the glove on but Jack grabbed your hand and looked at your nails which now turned orange. Everyone gasped except your crew.
"Why does it change color? " Gibbs asked Aila.
"Well that is the power I was just about to tell you all about. It changes color- "Aila stopped speaking and looked at her left hand that Jack still had a hold on. She yanked her hand away and put her glove back on. Looking at a pouting Jack and then looking at Gibbs. "Because when my mood changes my nail color changes itself. That is one reason I put my gloves on then there is this damned ring. But I don't like having people know my nails change color to know my mood or not. It can sometimes but not all the time gives them an advantage over me. "
"I see. " Gibbs replied.
"So what does regular blue, dark blue and orange mean? " Elizabeth asked.
" Regular blue means normal, dark blue means calm or deep in thought, and orange means…stressed. " Aila replied.
"Why are you stressed? " Jack said.
"Because it's bloody hard telling everyone and especially you my bloody secrets and its hard to explain them. Savvy? "
Jacks only reply was "Oh. " Then he asked, "Do you have a tail? " His whole crew started laughing except Anna-Maria, Elizabeth and of course you and your crew.
"Only if I go into water but luckily if I do I can either stay in mermaid form or human form. And stop yer bloody laughing. "
Everyone stopped. Jack looked like he was holding back laughter. " Sorry Love. " He said.
" Yeah right and don't call me love. It's annoying." Aila looked at the clock. One o'clock in the morning. Aila felt thirsty so she took Jacks mug of rum and gulped it all down.
" That was my rum. " He said in a strain.
" I was thirsty plus you deserve it for laughing." Aila looked at a pouting Jack and he shrugged. " Well I am tired so I will be off to bed, I can call up my father tomorrow night when we leave."
Jack looked at Aila ands said. " Mind if I join you? " With that said he earned a punch in the face from Aila.
" I may have deserved that. " Jack said holding his jaw.
" NO. You DID deserve it! " Aila yelled and looked at her crew who were laughing at Jack. " Mates do what you want just make sure you are all sober by five o'clock tonight. Savvy?" They all said " Aye. " And spread out and about.
" Why at five? " Will asked.
" Because we are leaving then. So that we can get a good start out on sea. And so that we can call upon Davy at around eight." Aila replied. And with that Aila went to her ship and went to bed.
And surprisingly Jack went to the Pearl and went to sleep without his whores.
