Doing a POTC-marathon again!XD So that gives me like 10 hours straight to write, and binge eat, and have the time of my life!XD Gosh, I need an actual life... XD
I'm half-way part 2 right now, I can't wait for part 4 to come on! ANGELICA!
Seriously, I still can't wait for part 5! Why does it have to take so long?!
The start of this chapter is so weird, I don't know what is wrong with me sometimes!XD
Sorry for the possible typos or grammatical errors, I didn't check...
Enjoy!

Larry.
Larry, that was his name. Larry was Captain Jack Sparrow's new favourite.
The boy had been providing The Black Pearl with a steady heading for weeks now, ever since the Captain had threatened his life.
You would think the Captain's mood had improved, but he was still too drunk to even notice. He knew that The Pearl was making progress, she was catching up, and that's why he was content with Larry. But as soon as the boy would even give the impression that he was letting go of that compass, Jack would be at his throat again.
At this point, Larry was actually quite comfortable with the situation. He could relax and take a breath from time to time... As long as he would have the compass in hand when Captain Sparrow would ask for a heading, everything was perfectly fine. Well, if you counted out the fact that the Captain still was not back to his old self...
Speaking of the Captain...
Captain Jack Sparrow approached Larry, who was leaning against the railing of the ship in a relaxed manner, enjoying the bit of sun on his face.
''Capt'n'' he greeted.
''Larry! My good old rotten friend!'' ''How're we doing?'' Jack stumbled up to the boy.
''Steady as she goes, Capt'n'' Larry showed him the compass.
The heading hadn't changed, they were still on the right track.
Jack, however, wasn't really paying attention. Steady as she goes... Angelica... An image of her standing on her father's ship, wind in her hair, rushed through his mind...
''Good...'' he slowly tried to shake it off...
Jack Sparrow quickly spun around, nearly falling over...
''Gentlemen!'' ''If you don't mind, we'll me making a tiny detour!'' ''I need more rum!'' ''Next bit of port, we make land!'' ''Or the other way around...'' Jack needed a moment to think...
''Get your work, you dogs!'' he ordered.
''You better stay on my heading, boy'' Jack turned back to Larry.
''Of course, Sir!'' Larry quickly answered.
''Good. All right then... Rum!'' Captain Sparrow happily stumbled off...
As content as Jack Sparrow was, it was rather different, however, on Angelica Teach' side...
She wasn't content at all. Ever since that night, her mind had been playing tricks with her heart, and the other way around...
Her dreams had been tormented with images of Captain Sparrow and Captain Brand for weeks now, she was slowly losing it!
She didn't know what she wanted. Maybe she was only confused, because Captain Brand was the only decent man she could converse with these days... Or maybe she actually fancied him... Could that happen so quickly, and if so, why was Jack still prominent in her dreams?!
For once, she wished she had Jack's compass...
There it was again! Her mind would come back to Jack, without her even noticing!
It was weird how her mind would literally play tricks with her. Even now, the two men were on her mind at the same time! The thought of Jack's compass, while she was staring at Captain Brand...
In fact, that was what she was doing. She was actually staring at Captain Brand! She had been staring at him rather often lately, just to find out who she really felt about him...
Ever since the night they'd kissed, she felt weird... She knew she had been drunk that night, but there was just something different...
Even though, Captain Brand had let it go, there was still something different about him... He was still as polite and kind as before, he didn't make her feel uncomfortable with what had happened, on the contrary! He hadn't mentioned it, not even once after that night... But still... Did he now think that they could be something?
Could they be something?!
What did this all mean?! Was there something more?!
Angelica huffed. She kicked the railing of The Rising Whale, but kept on staring...
All of a sudden, Captain Brand turned his gaze to hers. He had caught her staring! He smiled, and made a small wave...
She smiled and waved back, pretending not to think too much of it...
But in reality she felt embarrassed to the bone!
She needed to stop staring at him. She needed to stop making eye-contact with him. She needed to stop giving any kind of wrong ideas whatsoever. And she most definitely needed to quit drinking in his presence. She never knew what she would do, once she would have had something to drink... Just like last time...
Angelica quickly walked away, out of sight of her Captain. She would spend the rest of her day brooding, again...
I must be tough
I must behave
I must keep fighting
Don't give it up
Is it desire?
Or is it love that I'm feeling for you?
I want desire
Because your love only gets me abused
Filthy streets. Drunken men everywhere. Scruffy dogs and muddy pigs running around. Ladies of the night calling from every corner. For a sailor who didn't know any better, he would think he was in Tortuga!
However, a true Pirate knew differently. This little town was nothing like Tortuga!
Jack and his crew walked the streets of a little town, of which none of the men knew the name. They had found land and had made port. Captain Sparrow had allowed his crew some time off, now that he was in such a good mood with his heading and the fact that they were catching up!
Jack didn't think this little trip would cause them to fall behind again, and if so, Larry would take care of that problem now!
Jack just wanted more rum. Now he even had a proper reason! They could celebrate their progress!
The Black Pearl's crew scattered in the different narrow streets, while The Captain entered the first tavern he saw. Followed by his loyal first mate, Mister Joshamee Gibss.
The two men sat down at a table in the establishment, looking around. Once you started to pay attention, you could see that they were further and further away from the Caribbean... The people were different, the language was different, the way of living was different...
Gibbs didn't like it one bit, he missed the Caribbean. He found this all odd... Gibbs watched his friend from across the table. Jack was looking around as well, but with a weird look on his face... Weirder than Gibbs had ever seen...
''Jack, what is it?!'' he hissed.
''I got it...'' Jack mumbled.
''Got what?'' the first mate asked.
''I know where we're going...'' Captain Sparrow said.
''Jack, you let a boy find your heading...'' Gibbs interfered.
''Spain, Gibbs! Look around!'' ''Even the lasses look different than at home! Trust me, we're getting closer to Spain!'' ''Of course she would go to Spain...'' Why hadn't he thought of this before?!
Gibbs looked at the ladies of the night in the establishment... They indeed looked different than the lasses from Tortuga... Darker features, even more beautiful... Gibbs could only imagine what the Spanish ladies would look like, if they all looked like Miss Angelica Teach...
Jack had figured it out!
One of the ladies was approaching their table. Unfortunately not for Gibbs, but of course for Captain Jack Sparrow!
She practically threw herself on his lap, like almost every girl did who was trying to make a living like that... You would think they'd take on every client, but even these lasses favoured a handsome man over a dirty fat sailor! They wanted to get something out of it too sometimes!
Jack pulled a face, trying to wiggle the girl off. However, she didn't budge. She started to compliment him in the foreign language, stroking his cheeks, tickling his beard...
''No'' ''No, thank you. No-no!'' Jack tried to get away from the woman.
Gibbs was surprised! Normally, when Jack was drunk, he would give in almost immediately! Miss Angelica must have really got to him this time... That even the great Captain Jack Sparrow would break for love at some point, who would have thought?!
''Get your dirty hands off me, you bloody ape!'' Jack threw her to the floor.
''Gibbs, take care of me rum supply, will'ya?!'' Jack Sparrow left the tavern with big strides.
His good mood was gone...
''Aye, Capt'n...'' Gibbs sighed...
Gibbs could only hope they would reach Spain soon, and find Jack's lass just as quickly!
The Pirate didn't know how much longer he could take this behaviour from his Captain and friend, or how long any other member from the crew could still take this for that matter...
This was madness!
-X-O-X-
Not much going on in the chapter, I know... But they're getting closer to Spain, and therefore close to Angelica! Who knows what could happen?! *insert evil devil emoji* XD
I think I want a new bio for this story, but I have no idea what to write there... Any suggestions?
No idea what I'm doing lalalalala...
Lyrics: Desire – Years And Years
'I must be tough'
'I must behave, I must keep fighting'
'Don't give it up'
' I want to keep us compromising'
'Is it desire?'
'Or is it love that I'm feeling for you?'
'I want desire'
''Cause your love only gets me abused'
