AN: A fairly short chapter but I felt that that was a good place to end. Plus I might not be able to update for awhile, depends on how much homework I get.

Disclaimer: I lost everything I owned playing cards. Not that i ever owned anything in this story in the first place.


"Most of the crew is still asleep cap'n," the older man said as we neared the ship.

"Good. Miss um, what was yer name love?"

"Isabel Wilkins."

"Miss Isabel's things are to be put in me cabin."

"Aye cap'n."

Will and Mr. Gibbs headed to the captain's quarters to put my things in there as a woman walked up to us. Her long brown hair was underneath a hat and she was dressed in men's clothing. I saw the younger man give her a small smile before continuing to the captain's quarters.

"Jack, kidnapping one of those onboard was not part of your plan."

"Ah, Elizabeth. How nice to see ye too. Love, this is Elizabeth, Elizabeth, this is Isabel."

"Are you trying to get us killed?"

"Now why would I want to do that?"

Elizabeth growled in frustration. The young man came back and put and arm around Elizabeth's waist.

"Look at it this way darling, you have a non-pirate female that you can talk to."

"No she won't. I won't have Elizabeth teaching Isabel to become another Elizabeth. One bloody Elizabeth is one too many as it is."

The next thing I heard was the sound of a hand slapping something.

"You deserved that," Elizabeth said and then walked off.

"Bloody woman," Jack mumbled under his breath. "Ye must be tired love."

"Yes."

"Come along then." Jack's arm snaked around my waist once again as he began to lead me to the captain's quarters. Once we had arrived I stopped short.

"What's the matter love?" the scoundrel asked, smirking.

"There's only one bed."

"Aye, and ye'll be sharing it with me."

"No I won't."

"Yes ye will."

"No I won't. It is entirely improper for an engaged woman to share a bed with another man besides her betrothed. It's improper for an engaged woman to share a bed with any man, come to think of it."

"Ah well I suppose ye won't be getting any sleep while aboard me ship then love."

I cursed under my breath and walked over to the bed.

Jack laughed. "And it is proper for a lady to be using such language?"

I simply glared at him in reply. He smirked and began to take off his coat. I crawled into the bed and pulled the blankets over me. A moment later Jack was pulling the blankets over his now bare chest. And then it hit me. I was laying in a bed with a pirate who was not my betrothed and who was wearing only a pair of breeches. I turned away from him and attempted to go to sleep but thoughts of what my mum or Theodore would say if they found me like this. Especially now that Jack had put his arm around me and had pulled me as close as humanly possible to him. Oh well. What they didn't know couldn't hurt them, right?


Please review. There's only one reviewer for every 40 hits at this point. Actaully the 120 hits I have as of right now isn't bad considering this story was published only a week ago. But only 3 reviews for those 120 hits is pretty discouraging.
