"Captain Barbossa?" Annabelle looked around the corner, tucking the lock pick in her pocket as she saw Barbossa talking with the quartermaster. "Are we going to keep the prisoner's in there until we reach the island?"

"I want two guards. Miss Rose has one to many tricks up her sleeve." Barbossa looked over, and Annabelle shut the door quietly, praying her didn't notice, and stumbled back as she heard his feet hit the deck, and he opened the door.

"Yer lock picks, missy." He held out a hand and Annabelle glared at him. "Don't make this difficult."
"I'm not." Annabelle gasped as Barbossa grabbed her arm and held her against him.

"Are ye now?" He smirked, pulling out her lock picks. "If ye try and use those pins in yer hair, I'll be takin' them to." He warns, and Annabelle squirms. "Are ye uncomfortable?"

"Yes." Annabelle scowled as Barbossa laughs.

"I may just have to put a leash on her." He lets her go and leaves the room, the lock clicking into place, and Annabelle huffed.

"You're that thief from Port Royal." Annabelle looked at Elizabeth and raised an eyebrow. "The one who's been robbing people blind for years, and not getting caught by the guards."

"I am." Annabelle nodded. She knew that when this was over, Elizabeth would probably be safe at home, and she would be facing a noose for her crimes.

"You're the one who Will Turner was talking about. The one who stole his medallion." Annabelle frowned.

"It was in your possession." She retorted. "So technically I didn't steal it, you did."
"I didn't steal anything! I merely hid it so they wouldn't find out he was a pirate."
"Having the medallion doesn't make him a pirate." Annabelle sighed. "Look, I'm going to go and find a way to reason with Barbossa. You stay here, and don't do anything stupid." She knocked on the door, and looked up as the quartermaster opened it.

"What is it?" He looked down at her.

"I want to talk to the captain."
"If you need anything you can talk to me." Annabelle scowled.

"This is not a matter that can be discussed with anyone but the Captain." She stated, and the Quartermaster sneered.

"Fine. If you want to talk to the captain…" He grabbed her arm and yanked her out of the room. "We'll talk to the captain." He dragged her up to where Barbossa stood, and she scowled in rage. "Captain, she wants to talk with you. Apparently it's important."
"Leave her here." Barbossa pulled Annabelle against him and she squirmed. "Keep movin and I'll tie ye to the mast." He growled and she froze, not sure if he was telling the truth or not. "Good… Now, what did ye want from me."

"To tell you that I forgive you." Annabelle looked down. "I want things to go back to how they were between us." She looked up at Barbossa, whose face was blank, and he leaned forward.

"All the way back?" He whispered, and Annabelle shivered slightly, nodding. "Why don't I believe yeh?"

"Who should you." Annabelle was surprised at her own words. "Yes, I left, yes, I betrayed you. It doesn't mean…" She cut off from saying "I stop caring." And Barbossa raised an eyebrow.

"Miss Rose, I have a crew to take care of. I would love to continue this conversation, but I can't-"He cut off as Annabelle sighed and chuckled. "If yer serious…" He tilted her chin upwards, and pressed a kiss to her lips.

Annabelle felt her walls breaking down, all her old feelings bubbling to the surface. She leaned against him, and when he pulled away she frowned slightly, then blushed as she realized the crew was watching. Barbossa laughed and kissed the top of her head

"Escort Miss Rose back to my room." He ordered, and the crew scrambled to get back to their work as Bo'sun stepped forward.

"I can't stand here?" Annabelle frowned. She didn't want to go back to Barbossa's room, but one look at his face and she sighed. "Fine... Captain." She added the last bit as flattery, and Barbossa smirked in amusement.
"There you go." He looked at Bo'sun. "Don't be rough." He growls and lets go of Annabelle.

"Yes, sir." Bo'sun gestured for Annabelle to go first, and dazed, she headed towards Barbossa's room, resting her fingers on her lips.
