Hello this is the 4th chapter to my story and I hope you like it.

MMM73181: Maria is not related to neither Jack or Barbossa even thought it was a really good idea. Marias heritage will come up a little bit in this chapter and more in the next one.

I do not own Pirates of the Caribbean


Chapter 4

Marias POV

I woke up and I found myself in Jacks arms, in his cabin and on his bed. How had I got here the last thing I remember is that I was in the tavern and someone knocked me out. I left Jacks arms carefully not to wake him up and went to have a look at around the cabin. I looked and saw a chest full of maps and out of curiosity went to have a look at them. While I was looking through the maps I found a really interesting one. It wasn't in English but I recognized the words and the place on the map looked familiar.

I was startled by a voice saying "Morning love." I turned around and found out that that voice belonged to Jack. He walked over to me and asked "What ye looking at there?"

"Nothing I'm just looking at this map over here." Jack then snatched the map out of my hands and looked at it. He then gave it back to me saying "Aye well unfortunately it's in Greek and we do not know Greek or anyone that speaks it so…" so that's why I could recognize the words. As jack was putting his coat on I announced to him "You do know someone that knows Greek." he immediately turned around and said in excitement "Who?" I laughed and answered him "Me silly head. Didn't Will and I tell you I am Greek and know a bit, well actually remember a bit?" he looked confused at me "No ye didn't"

"Yeah actually your right we didn't tell you. Well I told you now." He came over to me looked at my ring for some reason and then asked "Well what does it say? Which treasure does it show?" before I could even have another look at the map Will came bursting in "Jack I can't find her." He said worriedly. Did he mean that he couldn't find me?

Once he noticed that I was there he ran and hugged me so hard and whispered to me "I thought I had lost you forever."

Jacks POV

I saw Will burst in and say "Jack I can't find her." Well she's right here mate. I looked at them and I got a really strange feeling. No, nope no way it's that feeling. No I am not jealous. Am I? No because that would mean that I'm… It can't believe it Captain Jack Sparrow is in love and with no other than Maria Gerakari. Yes I found out her surname, at first I just thought that it just looked like the Gerakari ring but after her saying that she's Greek I made the connection.

I came out of my thoughts and looked over at Will and Maria their faces were extremely close and I couldn't help but split them up. When I neared them I heard Will tell her "I was looking for you all over that filthy island"

"Well dear Will I found her. She was being dragged by a really drunk man with not so good intensions. I shooed him away and brought her back to me cabin and looked after her." I smirked at the last part. He looked between me and Maria and then asked her "Did he anything to you?" she looked confused and to say the truth so was I, didn't he trust me? "Who? The man or Jack?" what she didn't trust me either? Will shot a glare at me and answered her "Both!" I was getting really offended "Well the man I don't think had time to and well Jack didn't." wow she trusted me after all.

I took her to the side to talk to her and shooed Will away "Maria I ask of you to keep the map in between us for now." She nodded and left. I sat down in me chair and looked for a piece of paper to write on. I needed to write it down been as I couldn't tell anyone because it would ruin my reputation as the fearsome Captain Jack Sparrow.

After looking for a while I found a piece of paper, a quill and some ink. I started writing

Dear Maria,

I don't think I will ever get the chance to tell you my true feelings either it's because I am afraid to tell you or that I will never get the time to. Yes I am afraid of telling you my feelings, I am even afraid that I have these feelings. Anyway I wanted to say that trough the short time that I know you I have grown quite fond of you. I never thought that I would fall in love, but I have seemed to have, with you. After this venture I do not believe we will see each other again. I will have my pearl and you will go back to your life at Port Royal.

Yours sincerely,

Captain Jack Sparrow.

I folded up the piece of paper and put it in my pocket, safe where no one would find it. As I was putting it in my pocket Will came in and told me that Gibbs had found a crew.


The surname that I used as Marias did actually belong to a Greek pirate. I found that out from researching but I decided that that pirate will be her grandfather and not her father.

Please review and tell me what you think.
