Anyone else who wants to review is welcome ;) please review, it only takes a second and helps a lot.

Enjoy (I only own Scarlett OC)


As the cold, Caribbean water flooded Scarlett, she sunk through the sea. The blood from her lip staining the water in front of her eyes, as she opened them, she saw beautiful arrays of fish circling the reef. Even though the water stung her eyes, she truly felt at peace under the water, she was only brought back to reality by her brain screaming for oxygen. She felt a pair of arms snake around her waist, and pull her up to the surface, seeing black dreadlocks wrapping around her cheek, she realised it was Jack. When they reached the surface, she gasped for air and all her memories flooded back, her humiliation on the Pearl scorching her soul. 'Scarlett, you alright love?'

She pushed Jack away

Jack furrowed his brow and asked her, 'What's wrong with you, if you remember I just saved your life?'

She waded through the shallow water, embarrassment taking over her mind and causing her defensive side to show, 'I didn't need you to save me jack, and if it wasn't for you, that would never have happened' she shouted.

'So, it's entirely my fault?' asked Jack, getting angrier as the argument progressed.

'Yes that's exactly what I'm saying. You couldn't just leave me in Tortuga'

'Well sorry for caring then, but as I remember I saved your life there again'

Scarlett spun back around on the sand to face Jack who was exiting the water, the clear liquid streaming from his clothes. 'What, so I'm just some pathetic damsel who always needs saving' she asked.

'That's not what I said'

'Oh just leave me alone Jack' she turned back around and stormed away.

'Well it was your choice to get in Barbossa's way, so there's no need to have a go at me'

'Why would I want to stay on that ship, with those bastards?'

'The bastards you mutinied me with!' shouted Jack; the anger at being mutinied was finally being let loose.

Scarlett stopped and spun around, her eyes glazed over, with either anger or sadness, 'You have NO idea what happened on that ship after you were gone'

'Enlighten me love, it seemed you got a ship, a crew and a whole new life while I rotted on this beach'

'Well you did it once alone, you can do it again'

'I would but I have you screaming in my ear!'

Just as the two began to shout their comebacks, Elizabeth stormed over to the pair, also very angry and joined in, 'You two! You both knew Will didn't specify terms and neither of you said anything' shouted Elizabeth.

Scarlett growled, the last thing she needed was that girl. Turning in her direction the pirate sarcastically said, 'Oh, damn, I had hoped you drowned'

Elizabeth gritted her teeth and stormed towards Scarlett shouting, 'What is your problem, ashamed of those hideous scars on your back? Ashamed I'm better than you!'

Jack stepped in and blocked Elizabeth from advancing, 'Oi, that's uncalled for'

Elizabeth stepped back and began flailing her arms around whilst shouting, 'Oh here he comes, Jack Sparrow, that'll solve everything' this clearly hit a nerve with everyone in the group and the beach filled with the sound of angry shouting.

'Do you really think it's good to start fighting with a pirate, love?' said Scarlett

'Did you say pirate, or low life scum?' snapped Elizabeth.

The three argued over each other and not one of the marooned persons actually took a moment to listen to the others. Eventually, they began to part whilst shouting their last remarks.

'I don't need any of you! I can get off this island by myself!' said Elizabeth walking west.

'For once I agree with you! Go on Jack, rope a couple of turtles' Said Scarlett, walking north

As the two women departed, it left Jack alone on the beach, where he just started to scream in anger and kick the sand around. He eventually threw himself on the beach and lay there, basking in the sun, panting out all his anger.

Scarlett stormed through the palm trees, the isle was so small that they really could not escape from each other, but the palm trees acted as shade and shadows where one could hide. She kept walking until she ended up on the opposite side of the island; she walked towards the clear blue sea and sat down on the shore. Her boots being washed by the water, and each wave carrying some of the anger she held back to the sea. She noticed that when she sat down the knot on her shirt had opened; she growled and harshly grabbed the two sides. Tying a knot so tight the Kraken itself couldn't tear it apart, as she pulled against her back, the scars began to sting and so she quickly let go. Softly rubbing her back, she soothed her old scars, the wounds so deep that they still hurt, and she cried.

Letting the tears pour down her face, she was haunted by the humiliating ordeal on the Pearl and she felt ashamed of her behaviour towards Jack. Then, as if her own mind was trying to drive her crazy, it brought up the memories of England and the awful things that she'd done, the man who made her lose her life. As all the memories came soaring through Scarlett's mind she grabbed her head and clenched her hair. Someone knelt down behind her and took her hands in their own, breaking them from her head, and holding them gently. 'Jack, I'm sorry' she cried.

He let go of her hands and sat down, straddling her from behind. She was in between his legs and she leant back into his chest, her eyes red from the frustration, their hands entwined on her stomach. Jack then spoke up, 'I know, I guess we both have secrets we haven't dealt with yet.'

She traced circled on his hand and asked 'What secrets do you possibly have that even compare to mine?'

'Well, the story of how I really got off this island' said Jack, and Scarlett looked at him confused, he then told her the story of how he only stayed for three days then bartered passage off.

After absorbing the story, she felt comforted that he didn't suffer on this island; it eased her guilt of continuing to the Isla De Muerta. But she felt, being stuck on this island, that she would have to explain it to him, and she planned it for that night. She sighed in the warm sun, enveloped in Jack's scent; she could have lay there forever. She then said, 'I guess, even though we pirates seem to have all the freedom in the world, we suffer for it'

Jack slid her hair off of her face and caressed her cheek, saying, 'Until someone like you comes into it, I would have stayed on this island for a hundred years, if it meant I could be with you, always'

He leant his head down and kissed her, it was gentle, caring and full of love. She smiled and broke it off, saying, 'Are you getting sentimental on me Jack Sparrow?'

They both scoffed and resumed their kissing, Scarlett wrapping her arm around his head to clasp his hair and deepen the kiss.

Just as Jack's hands started to wander she shot up off of his chest, saying, 'Wait' she pushed off of the floor and stood up, looking down on Jack, 'rum runners used this island?'

His chest heaving from a mixture of love and lust and said, 'Aye'

'Then where's the rum?' she asked, the excitement of alcohol to make this island a little more fun growing.

Jack caught her train of thought and stood up too, grabbing her hand and leading her back into the palm trees. 'Ah my dear, I will show you, and by finding the rum we will have a considerably better night than if we didn't find the rum. So by me showing you where the rum is, we will have the rum and drink the rum, and this will all be a blur'

Scarlett laughed, probably from the heat and said 'That sentence was a blur'

Jack turned around and smirked, pulling her along quicker whilst saying, 'Come on'

They found Elizabeth and explained the rum situation, she seemed angry and disappointed at first but as soon as Jack flung a bottle of rum in her direction, her attitude seemed to change.

Scarlett skipped along the island, shouting back to Elizabeth, 'We're going to have a bonfire! And sing ALL the pirate songs!'

Elizabeth furrowed her brows and didn't seem to understand how pirates could make a party out of any situation; Jack mainly shrugged and said with a smile:

'Welcome to the Caribbean, love'


Filler over, the night-time on the island will bring many revelations for both Jack and Scarlett, so will it bring them together? Or tear them apart?

You'll have to review... then wait and see! ~StardustChaser2012
