Finally some time to update, now that I have a week off of school! I love holidays!
I don't know if all of you have seen the deleted scene of Jack and Angelica, after the dance scene on the Queen Anne's Revenge, I just assume you did...
If you didn't you really should, I love it!
Anyway, my point is... I sort of put it in this chapter: 'The Ring Of Thieves'.
On Stranger Tides Visual Guide Book - Ring Of Thieves:
''Jack gave this amethyst ring to Angelica during their first romance. In later years, she traded it with sorcerer Tia Dalma for the secret of the Profane Ritual. Jack spotted the ring in Tia's shack and promptly stole it back – returning it to Angelica once again during their second acquaintance.''

The first rays of sunshine of a new day shone on her face. She let them warm her, as she was resting on her elbows against the railing of the ship. She watched the men on the docks in Singapore.
The Black Pearl had made port in Singapore. Angelica Teach stood out on deck, watching the men gathering their new crew. Jack, Gibbs and Scrum were leading a group of Singaporeans, which they had gathered earlier this morning, to the Pearl.
Angelica had woken up alone this morning, finding Jack gone after their surprisingly peaceful night of sleep. He had gone out very early in the morning with his men to find him a crew in Singapore. He hadn't woken Angelica of course, he'd let her sleep in after what happened the day before... She needed to rest, so her arm could heal faster.
Angelica looked around, seeing the men slowly filling the deck of the ship. She wondered if they even spoke English... She wondered how Jack had got them all to join him! Then again, Captain Jack Sparrow would always find a way to make his plans work...
Angelica looked down at the docks again. When Jack noticed her, he smiled his toothy grin.
''Let's go, doll!'' he called out.
The woman, who he had just referred to as 'doll', turned around, stepping away from the railing and walked through the crowd of Singaporean men. As they got on the ship, she got off...
They had a sorcerer to visit...
A small group, Jack, Angelica, Gibbs, Scrum and two or three other crewmembers, walked through the narrow and filthy streets of Singapore. They all followed Gibbs, who apparently knew the way to this so called 'Mistress of Dark Magic'...
Captain Sparrow could sense that the lady who was walking beside him felt uneasy. All the men were eyeing her, from their little hiding places in small alleyways... Jack wanted to slice them all in two with his sword, but he couldn't... It would cause a holdup and that was the last thing they needed, they just needed to get those two ships out!
Jack hadn't wanted Angelica to come anyway, but she had insisted... The Pirate had given in last night, he hadn't wanted to start another of their famous arguments... He just didn't know how dangerous this could all get and he didn't want to put Angelica in danger in any way!
Captain Sparrow got a little closer to Angelica, as if he was trying to shield her from all the glances... Angelica could handle it all pretty well though, she was used to it. All her life she had received glares and lustful glances from all sorts of men. She was just a sensual person, there wasn't much to do about it now...
''Capt'n , we're here.'' Gibbs got his attention.
''What? This is'it?!'' Jack looked up.
They stood in front of a small building, which was probably the most normal looking building in whole Singapore! The 'Mistress of Dark Magic' couldn't possible live her, or could she?!
Yes. Yes, she could. Once they had entered the house, you could surely see it belonged to a sorcerer. The weirdest objects hung from the ceiling and on the walls. Everything smelled mouldy and it looked as if someone had coloured the whole house with charcoal.
Jack was examining everything little thing in the small building. Why, you ask? Because they had been there for almost an hour now and Jack would rather pull his brains out than stay there for another minute, but he had to wait... That's why!
The bony old woman was still busy with examining the bottles and finding the right ritual for it... The woman looked delusional and insane, covered in dirt... Jack was starting to doubt if this was the kind of sorcerer they needed... The old woman kept on mumbling the same things over and over again, whilst no one really understood what was going on...
Suddenly she stopped, leaving the room deadly quiet. Everybody looked up, anticipation clear on their faces. She nodded, she had found it.
''Well, ehr- Mrs. Sorcerer... Can you tell us the ritual?'' Jack took a step forward.
''Yes...'' the woman grinned and showed her rotten teeth.
Jack flinched. The old bony woman really reminded him of Tia Dalma, or Calypso in that moment...
''What is'it?!'' The Captain had had enough of waiting!
''Payment.'' her smile faded...
Of course the woman wanted payment first...
''Gibbs!'' Gibbs came forward with a sac with various object...
Gibbs emptied the sad onto an ancient looking table. Swords, gold, an old cannonball, rings, a piece of driftwood and what not more... They knew from experience with Tia Dalma that 'normal' payment wasn't sufficient when you were dealing with women who handled dark magic...
''Want something special...'' the 'Mistress' mused as she looked through the items...
''Ya can always have one of me crewmembers if ya want...'' Jack said nonchalantly.
The woman looked up. Her eyes went over the men in her room. Scrum and Gibbs slowly moved behind their Captain, not wanting to stay with that woman... She eyed all of them carefully, before her eyes rested on Angelica... She smiled and slowly approached the Spanish beauty.
''Oy! The lady is not for sale!'' Jack had noticed.
The elderly ignored him and looked at Angelica intently.
''You are powerful one, aren't you? Long past...'' ''No mother... No father...'' she circled Angelica.
''Oy! Hello?! Aye?!'' The Captain didn't like this one bit!
''What is this?! Powerful, yes!'' she took Angelica's hand and stared at her beautiful dark purple ring...
The Ring of Thieves...
''Do-Do you want it? A-as payment?'' Angelica was intrigued by this woman.
How did she know all this?! Her past, the fact that both her parents were dead...
''It's special! It holds power! Power of love...'' ''A gift... Of love...'' she grinned.
Angelica just stared. A gift of love... Jack had given Angelica that ring... He had given her that ring when they'd returned to Spain from their first trip together...
Jack had taken Angelica away from Seville, to the Spanish coast. He had needed to be close to the sea... It hadn't taken him long to take her aboard a ship and show her the world... But they would always return to Spain, for Angelica.
''No! No-no!'' ''Angelica keeps the ring!'' Jack got in between.
''Women are what vexes all men...'' it was almost as if Tia Dalma had never died and was right there with them...
The woman was on to him... She knew that Jack was protecting Angelica, that he cared for her...
Jack shook his head. He remembered stealing the ring back in Tia Dalma her shack, after Angelica had had to trade it for the ritual of the Fountain... He had kept it safe, until he had been able to finally return it to her on the Queen Anne's Revenge. The first item he ever stole for someone else...
Jack wouldn't let Angelica give it away again. It belonged to them! Jack remembered giving it to her... He had felt so proud that he had taken his girl on an adventure and had given her the ring to make her aware of that. The dark purple colour had always suited her perfectly...
''Women... You are a beautiful woman...'' ''But I see dark clouds surrounding you, lady... Darkness and storms!'' ''Love... Thoughts... Doubts...'' Angelica was taken aback.
How did the woman know?! Could she feel the power of the ring?! Her love for Jack... Her fears, her thoughts and doubts about him...
Angelica didn't know what to do... Were her doubts really that obvious to the world?! She wanted to leave! Maybe she should just leave this world behind... This life, everything, even Jack...
I carry the weight of you in my heavy heart
I carry the weight of you heading back to start
I'm tired
I'm growing older
I'm getting weaker everyday
I'm drowning and your stealing every breath
Take me away
''Just tell us the bloody ritual!'' Jack pulled Angelica safely behind him.
''Fine!'' the old lady grabbed a sword from the table.
Before anyone could do anything, she lifted it and cut off one of Captain Sparrow his dreadlocks.
''What?!'' Jack grabbed his hair.
''Pirate hair. Payment. Pirate hair has been touched by many women... Holds a lot of power!'' she grinned.
Angelica stomped out of the building. She had had enough.
''Angelica!'' Jack called after her.
''Gibbs! Take care of this, will ya!'' The Captain glared at the witch.
''Aye, Capt'n!'' Gibbs would obtain the rules of the ritual then...
Jack turned around and ran after his girl. Why did that woman have to mention the words 'Pirate hair' and 'many women'?!Now he had to fix it... Jack sighed.
Bloody women...

Lyrics used:
'I carry the weight of you in my heavy heart'
'And the wind is so icy, I am numb'
'I carry the weight of you heading back to start'
'With a thousand eyes on me, I stumble on'
'I'm tired, I'm growing older'
'I'm getting weaker everyday'
'I'm drowning and you're stealing every breath'
'Take me away and just'
'Lay down here beside me in the shallow water'
'Beside me where the sun is shining on us still'
'Lay down here beside me in the hallowed water'
'Beside me where the silver lining stays until the sirens' calling'
'The sirens' calling'
