Chapter 4: No One Can Help You
Jordana didn't know what to do. Captain River had her detained in her own ship. If only Jack were here. He seemed ready to fulfill any type of person's problem as long as he kept his freedom. The Black Pearl was his love and his life, so Jordana didn't know why she kept thinking that she had a chance with him. He would never love anyone because his ship was his only love. Well I guess she could ponder on his rescuing her while she rotted away in a cell below her own deck.

Will watched as Jack took to the wheel of the ship and never lost focus. If Will hadn't known that Jack was only interested in something for himself he would think that Jack had something for Captain Grace.
"They probably aren't too far ahead, Jack." Elizabeth said from behind Will. She wanted to assure Jack that they would get there.
"Well we should still be worried. Captain River wants Jordana badly. He always has. There's no telling what can happen to her if we don't get to her soon." Megan said.

Jordana heard a lot of fuss above her. After a couple of minutes it died down and people came down below deck.
"Now, Matt, meet the stunning former captain of this ship, Jordana Grace." James said introducing them as he put Matthew in the cell with her.
"So you are Matthew, you too look just like your father. Now that your all grown up of course." Jordana said to him. Will matched him and their father. She needed some way to get them out of here. If they didn't leave or find a way to bargain both her and the only family Will has left, other than his wife and daughter, were going to die.
"You can call me Matt. Everyone else does even if I don't want particular people to, they do anyways. I hate that guy. He thinks that he can do what he wants just because he's a pirate."
"I know. Trust me, I know." Jordana admitted to him. She went into her own memories:
"James, do you think William would like it that we are in love?" Jordana asked James in her cabin. Jordana looked into James's blue eyes.
"Even if he doesn't, which I doubt, he will have to live with it because I won't change what I feel just because he is uncomfortable with it.
Jordana came back and looked at Matt. He seemed tired. She reached for his hand and squeezed it a little to reassure him that she would try to help him. He probably needed that connection back after he lost his father.
"What'd he do to you?" Matt asked her. For a minute her eyes had gone to a different place and she looked sad. He wanted to help her get through her pain.
"He told me he loved me, and then he wanted me to help him get rid of your father so that we could have the Freedom." Jordana explained.
"That doesn't seem so bad. I mean other than trying to convince you to murder a good friend." Matt answered.
"When I refused, he raped me and left me in an upstanding royal town to die. No town that is part of the King's Pride ever accepts a pirate, even when they are as pathetic as I was. They wanted to have me shot. Luckily I found the Green Vendetta and left." Jordana revealed to him.
"He didn't love you much. I'm sorry." Matt said; he left it at that.

"Captain, what shall we do when we reach the ship?" Anamaria asked.
"We can't shoot at it because it is her ship, but we can leave this one to get her."
