*Clanker's POV*

Hadras started screaming about someone being stabbed. At first we thought someone stabbed his headless body again, but as I turn I found out how wrong we were. I had turned just in time to see Melody's attacker slowly pull the sword from her chest, as time slowed, blood dripping from her mouth her body slowly fell forward onto the sandy beach. Her attacker ran as the blood slowly socked the ground beneath her. Rushing over I turned her onto her back and started to apply pressure on her bleeding chest. Yelling at Koleniko to get the long boat, I looked back at our female crew member wondering why the curse wasn't taking effect. Pulling out a cloth I continued to press on her chest. I didn't understand it usually this wouldn't even faze the men in the slightest but Melody was heavily effected.

Picking her limp body up I placed her into the long boat as Koleniko started making it for the ship. Out of the corner of my eye I say the girl Melody was with when we found her. The girl, Leah I think or something like that, was watching me as I handled her friend tears were running down her cheeks. Looking back at Melody I noticed her breath was slowing greatly.

"Koleniko speed it up!"

The navigator quickened his pace. Once we finally retched the ship he helped me get Melody onto the deck. While the others carried the chest onto the deck, I laid Melody down calling for Bootstrap. Unfortunately for me the Captain came to see what the fuss was about. The look on his face was one that looked to kill and I was in the line of fire.

'Shit.'

*Jones' POV*

Hearing the men were getting back from Isla Cruces with my heart, I started to head to the deck. Just as I was about to open the door to my cabin I heard my blackguard, Clanker hollering for Bootstarp. Walking out onto the deck I saw many of the men crowding around something... no someone. Making my way over my men made a path for me what I saw shock me to the core. There laying on the deck a trail of blood from the corner of her mouth as redish sand stuck to her face was Melody. Her red shirt was dirty with sand and a darker spot around a hole in her chest were blood continued to pour from the wound. The woman I had, not two days after joining, whipped and throw across the room. The woman who told me my future if I didn't rehide my heart, and the woman who stole my... no not again. Shaking my head of the thought I yelled out, "Mr. Turner get over here now-eh!"

At my yell Bootstrap was at her side in a second. Clanker and Bootstrap started to carry her to the under deck.

"Mr. Turner take her to me cabin and work on her-eh."

No one dared question my command and they took her to my cabin. As the door closed I turned to my remaining crewmen Maccus quickly appeared at my side. Ushering me over to my chest where my heart hopefully still safely inside. The key still lodge in the keyhole I opened my chest discovering my heart was as Melody said taken. For the third time in one day anger consumed me, turning I stomped to my cabin where, with Clanker's back turned, Turner just finished wrapping the woman's wound. They had also cleaned the bloody sand off her face. Her shirt was carelessly throw on the floor obliviously ruined. The bandages hide her breast and half of the stomach. After Turner finished with the bandaging he laid her still unconscious form on my old bed and pulled the covers around her.

(Warning fluffy moment and OOC for Jones. You don't like it don't read. You have been warned)

Once they noticed me they both excused themselves leaving me with the wounded and mysterious woman who three weeks ago meant nothing to me then a lost soul. Walking closer to the bed I looked down at the sleeping form of Melody. Her once blueish green skin was now a soft paler color of sea foam blue. Her ocean blue hair framed her cleaned face as the rest of it fanned around her. Slowly a little of my anger melted away into frustration. Sitting on the bed next to her head I took notice that a piece of hair fell over her eyes. Gently I retched out and pushed it away with my tentacled finger. I found my eyes drawn to her soft blue lips that were parted slightly. Leaning down slightly my hand caressed her jaw as my eyes slowly started to close while growing closer to her. I could feel her lips a breath away from mine when a loud bang from outside pulled me away. Pulling away quickly I shook my head and glared at the wounded female. She would be just like Calypso. Growing to myself I stormed out of my cabin to see what in the seven seas happened.

Slamming open my door my presence caught my first mates attention as he stealthy made his way to my side.

"What's going on out here-eh?"

My yelled seemed to echo as I saw British officers on my deck. On in particular pampas looking one took a place in front of me looking highly proud of himself.

"Mr. Jones I believe you don't have the power her to be demanding questions."

I truly didn't like him. Of course I had right to demand anything this was my ship. Just when I was about to retch out and crush him with my clawed hand he pulled something from his coat covered in a cloth. Raising an eyebrow at him I scoffed.

"Why because you have a cloth-eh?"

An evil smirk crossed his features, "no, because I hold your heart."

Looking at him in disbelief as he gave a signal to his men who burst into my cabin. My anger flared once again at the thought of Melody. Not only had she been correct about my heart but now what would they do to her once she was discovered. My question didn't take long to be answered as one of his men came out.

"Sir there is a female in here with an injury. What would you like done with her?"

The man's eyes met my cold stare he got a rather smug look on his face and opened his mouth to speak when a crash was heard. Everyone looked to my cabin to see one of the men flying out others soon followed running out scared. A hiss and growl was heard from the shadows of my cabin. Out came Melody with a vicious look adorning her face. She jumped on the fallen man punching, biting, and scratching him repeatedly before Maccus and Clanker pulled her off him. With her fighting the entire time as the other men helped their wounder comrade. Glaring heavily at them she screamed, "that's what you get for waking me you bloody mother..." Clanker covered her mouth to stop her from talking.

The man walked over to her as her glare got deeper.

"Well well well what do we have here a crew whore?"

Anger boiled at me just as I was about to grab him Melody's foot went and kicked him in the worst place for a man. His men rush over to him, Beckett was his name, as my men laughed at the man's misfortune.

Coughing to breath, "throw the men in the brig," voice cracks, "I want the woman watched at all times."

Melody looked very proud of herself as Beckett turned to me still trying to get over being kicked.

"We have business to discuses."
