Pirates of the Caribbean and the Black Captain Chapter 10:Hangin on to Sweet Surrenders, a pirates of the caribbean fanfic

"J-James?" asked Elizabeth in shock as she, Tatiana, Jack, William, Alex, Barbossa, Cotton, Murtogg, Mullroy, Pintel, Regetti, Bootstrap, Marty, and Gibbs all walked off the Pearl and onto the marble platform. "Elizabeth!" said James delightedly when he saw his former fiancé, "how have you been? Where's Will?" Elizabeth looked away at the mention of Will's name and Jack put a comforting arm around her shoulder. "Norrington," Jack said gruffly. "Sparrow," said Jams courteously. He shot a 'What in the world?' look at Tatiana who in turn responded with a 'you'll find out later,' look.

"James," she said throwing her arms around Alex and William, "Have you met my older brother Alex or my younger half brother William?" James did a double take with William but shook both their hands firmly and said, "You both are lucky to have sister such as Tatiana. I'm curious you said William is your half brother correct? Then who is his mother?" Tatiana gave a pointed jerk of her head towards Jack and Elizabeth who hadn't noticed the turn the conversation had taken. James made a small "o" with his mouth and let the subject drop.

Suddenly from out of nowhere a loud and joyous, "ANA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" was heard. Tatiana flinched and muttered "oh no," before she tackled by someone. "Oh Ana I'm sooooooooooooooo glad you've come! Daddy thought for a minute that you wouldn't figure it out but I knew you would!" said a girl with jade green eyes, pale skin and dirty blond hair striped with rose colored highlights. "Hi Leucothea," said Tatiana weakly from her position on the ground. Leucothea smiled and helped her friend to her feet. She was dressed in a flowing, gauzy turquoise gown and had a pink coral circlet on her head. Looking at the others Leucothea cocker her head and asked, "Who are they?" "Why don't we save introductions for inside," said James who looked like he was trying hard not to laugh. "Yes let's," said Tatiana quickly sending Norrington a 'stuff it' look.

The entrance hall was made of marble and it had a grand sweeping staircase similar to the Sparrow mansion but ten times grander. Turning to Leucothea Tatiana asked, "Where's Eurybia?" And then as though to answer her ill asked question a scream of "ANA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" could be heard. "Oh no," Tatiana muttered, "not again." For the second time in about five minutes Tatiana's back connected with hard marble as another body flung itself on top of her. This time the girl had black hair with blue streaks, amethyst eyes, and was very tan compared to Leucothea. "Hi Eurybia," croaked Tatiana from the floor.

Eurybia helped Tatiana to her feet and gave her a tight hug, "Oh Ana how are you? I've-we've missed you soooooo much!" "And you both have tried to break my back," said Tatiana jokingly as the two sisters enveloped the pirate in a tight bear hug. "Make that three times!" "Tansy luv are ye going to introduce us to yer friends?" asked Jack awkwardly. Tatiana turned to the sisters and said, "Eurybia, Leucothea this is my father Jack Sparrow, my older brother Alex, my younger half brother William, his mum Elizabeth, Bootstrap Bill Turner, Barbossa, Cotton, Murtogg, Mullroy, Pintel, Regetti, Marty, and Gibbs." "You brought Jack Sparrow to Atlantis?" asked Eurybia with wide eyes. "Daddy's not going to like it," said Leucothea nervously. "And who exactly is your father?" asked Jack curiously.

"That would be me-ah," said a voice with a strong Scottish burr from behind the group. James bowed and Leucothea and Eurybia both squealed, "Daddy!" at the same time. "Hi Davy," said Tatiana glancing casually over her shoulder at the former captain of the Flying Dutchman. Jack spun around and saw none other then Davy Jones in human form leering at him, "Hello Sparra…remember me-ah?" "Davy," squeaked Jack immediately hiding behind Tatiana who just rolled her eyes and said, "Pay up… told you he'd squeak." Davy laughed as his two "daughters" gave Tatiana three heavy gold coins each and pouted.

"Ah and Tia- I mean Calypso looking as radiant as ever," continued Tatiana seeing Calypso. It was true, gone were the days of her living in Tia Dalma squander of rag-tag dresses, now it was time to show the world what they had been missing when imprisoned Calypso. The goddess wore a robe of light amethyst with a golden circlet. "Thank ye chil," said Calypso graciously. "Ah Calypso luv you look spiffing,' said Jack coming out from behind his daughter to throw a friendly arm around the goddess's neck. Calypso giggled and Davy Jones glowered.

"Careful Jack," said Tatiana smirking, "You wouldn't want Mister Jones to become jealous of you now would you?" Jack instantly dropped his arm from Calypso's shoulder as Davy snorted and said, "Pfft…as if I would feel threatened-ah by some…lost bird-ah. I would be more worried about Nineve if I were you-ah Sparrow." Tatiana spun around to face Davy and said, "My-my mother is here!" Davy smirked evilly and said, "Oops…did I-yah forget to tell you?" "Davy Jones you are the most evil, traitorous, loathsome…" muttered Tatiana wringing her hands. "What's wrong with your mum?" asked William curiously.

Alex looked away pointedly, Jack shifted from foot to foot Tatiana snorted and said, "Oh she's only the most intolerable, deplorable, atrocious, manipulative, conniving, backstabbing, deceiving, cold hearted she devil-who is standing right behind me isn't she?" Everyone nodded looking as though they were trying not to laugh. Tatiana turned around slowly to face the woman behind her.

She was about four inches shorter then Tatiana with hazel eyes and Tatiana's deep auburn hair. She wore a long white gown with a flowing hem and sleeves and cream colored veil. She gave an aura of great untold power and sophistication. "Hi mum!" said Tatiana in a mock jovial voice throwing her arms wide open as though getting ready for a hug. The woman cocked an eyebrow at her daughter and said in a cool voice, "Hello to you as well Vivian." Tatiana flinched and muttered, "Its Tatiana mother." Nineve's lip curled as she said, "Ah yes…so the rumors are true…how atrocious." "Thanks mum," grumbled Tatiana sarcastically. But Nineve was already looking past her daughter and her gaze fell on Jack.

Pushing Tatiana she walked right up to the pirate and said, 'Hello Jack." Jack winced slightly and said, "Ello Nina luv…" Suddenly Nineve pulled Jack into a passionate kiss. It was hard to tell who looked more appalled, Tatiana or Alex. "Right then mum why don't you say hello to Alex. I mean you haven't seen him forever," said Tatiana stepping in between her parents. Nineve cast a lazy glance towards her son and said, "Hello Alexander dear…you look well." Alex flinched just as Tatiana did but didn't correct her. Suddenly her gaze fell on William and her lip curled as she said, "So…there was a consequence…how intriguing."

Elizabeth put an arm around her son as Jack cocked an eyebrow at the strange statement. Realization suddenly hit Tatiana like a ton of bricks. "It was you!" she cried pointing at her mother, "You were the one who erased Elizabeth's memory!" "Tatiana you are going to entertain our guests," said Nineve coldly. "Umm mum…I don't live here," said Tatiana. "But you are by far the best singer here," said her mother coolly. Tatiana blinked and said, "Was that actually a compliment? Wow that's a first from you mother but I'm still not singing." The two women faced off in a staring contest for a few minutes; suddenly Tatiana did something no one had ever seen her do before, back down. "Alright, alright I'll sing." Said Tatiana stomping down to the music room, she knew instinctively where it was and it bugged her to no end.

Everyone followed her but Jack who stayed behind looking at Nineve, "We need to talk luv."

Tatiana grabbed the nearest guitar and began tuning it. "So…that was your mother?" asked Elizabeth. "Lovely woman isn't she?" spat Tatiana sarcastically. Elizabeth didn't say anything; she didn't trust herself to speak. Tatiana settled herself and began to sing, "it doesn't mean much it doesn't mean anything at all the life I've left behind me is a cold room I've crossed the last line from where I can't return where every step I took in faith betrayed meand led me from my home"

"Nina luv," said Jack seriously looking at the mother of two of his children, "Why did you erase Elizabeth's memory…that's not your job." "She didn't want to live with the guilt," said Nineve coolly, "So I removed it for her."

"and sweet sweet surrender is all that I have to give."

"Sometimes guilt…is necessary," said Jack delicately. Nineve snorted and said, "Like the time her guilt saved you?"

"you take me in no questions asked you strip away the ugliness that surrounds me are you an angel am I already that gone I only hope that I won't disappoint you when I'm down hereon my knees"

"Now that's harsh luv," said Jack. Nineve raised her eyebrow and said, "I was doing the best thing for her in the end…she wouldn't have stayed and waited for Will Turner if she remembered." "What?"

"and sweet sweet sweet surrender is all that I have to give"

"Honestly Jack you are so dense sometimes," said Nineve disdainfully, "Had she remembered she'd gone with you in an instant whether you asked her or not and that would not have been good." "Why not?" asked Jack trying to keep his anger in check.

"sweetsweetsweet surrender is all that I have to give"

"Because it would have interfered with Vivian's and Alexander's destinies," replied Nineve matter of factly. "You mean the destinies they don't want?" asked Jack shakily. Nineve snorted and said, "They don't know what they want. You wouldn't understand Jack you're mortal." "Try me," replied Jack coldly.

"and I don't understand by the touch of your hand I would be the one to fall"

"Fine," said Nineve looking him straight in the eye. "If I hadn't erased that precious night from Elizabeth's memory she'd left with you in a heartbeat, Will Turner's heart would've been destroyed within a month and our daughter would be dead." "Wh-what?" asked Jack staggering back as though she had slapped him.

"I miss the little things I miss everything"

"Vivian wouldn't have lived to see her twelfth birthday if Elizabeth had gone with you Jack," said Nineve icily, "She would've died and it would've entirely your fault. Whether you or she like it or not Vivian has a destiny to fulfill and I'll be damned if I let some little blonde bimbo hurt my daughter."

"it doesn't mean much it doesn't mean anything at all the life I left behind me is a cold room"

Jack was speechless after that little outburst. Nineve cocked her head and said, "She's finished…let's go." They walked in silence until they reached the entrance to the music room. Before she opened the door she tuned to Jack and said quietly, "Vivian may not have shared her entire past with you Jack but don't underestimate your influence in the flow of things…Johnathan wouldn't have."

Tatiana finished playing to a round of applause. "Wow Ana your mom was right…you do have a gift," said Leucothea. "Now play another since I missed that one," said Nineve stepping into the room as though the conversation with Jack never happened. Jack walked in and sat numbly beside Elizabeth. "Are you ok?" she whispered, "you look very pale." Jack stared at Tatiana and said, 'No…no I'm fine luv."

"I don't want to play another song mum," said Tatiana defiantly. Nineve cocked an eyebrow and said, "Fine then…I guess we'll just have to sit here and talk." "Ok so another song it is," said Tatiana hastily picking up her guitar again and started to sing.

"I've had a bad day And nothing ever seems to go my way I've got a heartache Don't wanna think about it"

'Had Nineve been telling the truth?' Jack wondered as he watched his daughter sing.

"And every time I try to smile, I cry, so I'll just hide my face Get out of my way Don't wanna talk about it And I'll be fine I just need some time"

'Why did she suddenly call me Johnathan again?' he though, 'She hasn't called me that since we first met.'

"I'm hanging on today And nothing's gonna stop me, anyway I'm holding on, I'm strong I'm the only one who can make it change I don't wanna fight I gotta live my life I'm gonna make it right I'm hanging on and nothing's gonna stop me, anyway"

Johnathan Teague was Jack Sparrow's birth name and he hated it. 'It's so plain. Jack Sparrow is much better.'

"I went the wrong way But I'm not lost, it's a good mistake I saw the day break I'm gonna shout about it"

He hadn't been called it in years, only his father, Tatiana, Alex, and Nineve knew it. 'Wonder why she said Vivian wouldn't live past her twelfth birthday if Elizabeth had remembered their little romp, the girl seemed fit as a fiddle to Jack.

"Oh, and every time I turn around I find that, I'm alone again I've had a bad day I'm gonnalaugh about it And I'll be fine I'm gonna be all right"

His mind suddenly wandered back to those scars on her back and wrists. 'Where did she get those?' he wondered not for the first time since he'd seen them, 'Everyone seems to know something about Tansy that she doesn't want to share.'

'She looks happiest when she sings,' Jack realized with a jolt. It was true; even though her face was down concentrating on the guitar strings you could see a small smile on her face as she sang.

"When I get lonely I feel like I'm floating Nothing is real I'm above it all I'm above it I'm above it all"

'I always want to see that smile on her face,' thought Jack suddenly. It was rather odd but true. He wanted nothing more then to see that playful glint in her eyes or the joy on her face while she sang. 'I wonder where she learned to play the guitar.' Suddenly Jack realized with a jolt, he didn't know much about his daughter at all.

Tatiana ended the song and once again the room burst into applause for the young woman. Nineve smiled and said, "Excellent. Now that that's over with you, Elizabeth, Leucothea, Eurybia, Calypso, and I can go change into our dresses for supper." "We can do what?" snapped Tatiana praying she had heard wrong. "You will accompany the rest of the women and go change into your dinner dress," repeated Nineve firmly.

"But-but-but!" stammered Tatiana, "I-I don't" "You have no choice in the matter," said Nineve firmly. Alex burst out laughing at Tatiana's expression. Nineve looked at her son and said coolly, "I don't know what you're laughing about Alex…the men are expected to change as well." Tatiana grinned at the horrified expression of almost every man in the room with the exception of Davy Jones and James.

Nineve ushered all the girls upstairs but Tatiana lagged behind to gloat. "Have fun getting dressed up boys," she said in mock sweetness. 'Oh and Tatiana we will be doing hair and makeup as well so hurry up!" Tatiana's expression changed from one of glee to one of horror and Jack was sure as his daughter stomped up the stairs he heard the words, "cruel and unusual," and "evil shrew," being muttered.
