Just a warning: Jack will be OOC in this chapter


Barbossa walked up the gangplank to the Black Pearl. What was wrong with Joanna? Why did she just walk out of the Tavern like that? He was determined to find out. Barbossa went below deck to see if she was in her hammock. Nobody was there. He went back ondeck. He looked up at the crow's nest to see if she was there. Barbossa climbed up the rope ladder leading to the crow's nest. Nothing. Where could she be? Barbossa heard giggling come from the cabin. It sounded like Joanna's voice.

"Thank you for this, Captain Sparrow", she said. "I really needed this."

"Call me Jack, love."

Barbossa went to the cabin door and tried to open it, but it was locked. He looked around to see if there was someway he could get inside. He noticed a small knothole in the door. Barbossa knelt down and looked into the hole. Joanna and Jack were sitting at a large table laughing. Jack held a bottle of rum in front of Joanna which she gladly took. Barbossa softly growled as he watched her uncork the bottle and take a drink.

"I still don't see what Hector has against rum", she said. "He drinks wine and that's alcohol."

"Who know's what goes on in that ol' geezer's mind?" Jack said.

Joanna went into a fit of laughter. Barbossa stepped back from the door feeling hurt. Is that what she thought about him? An old geezer? He sighed as he put his hand in his pocket. In it was supposed to be a gift for Joanna. Something to make her feel better after this morning. It wouldn't matter now. She probably wouldn't want it. Barbossa stuffed it back in his pocket and went below deck.

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

Joanna giggled as she looked at her second bottle of rum. Now she remembered why Barbossa didn't want her to drink. One bottle and she was already feeling buzzed. After two bottles she'll then be drunk. Joanna put the bottle down and shakily stood up.

"Once again, thank you for making me feel better", she said. "If you'll excuse me."

"I can make ya feel even better, love", Jack said.

"Really? How?"

Jack stood up and walked over to her. He put his hand on her face and pulled her in for a kiss. Joanna's eyes widened as her lips were pressed against his. She may be buzzed, but she still had enough common sense to know that she didn't want this. She pushed Jack away and wiped her mouth.

"What was that?"

"I believe that would be a kiss", he answered.

"I know that, but why did you kiss me?"

"Isn't it obvious, Joanna? I like ya and I want ya."

Joanna back away feeling scared of Jack for the first time.

"But", she started. "I love Hector. It's him I want, not you."

"But your lad hurt you, remember?" Jack asked. "Do ya really want someone who will never love you in return? You could always have someone like me."

She shook her head.

"I'd rather spend the rest of my life waiting for him than being with someone I don't know very well, Captain Sparrow."

Joanna turned to open the door, but Jack leaned against it. She glared at him and tried to push him away.

"You're not leaving yet", he said.

"What are you going to do to stop me?" she asked.

Jack pressed his lips against Joanna's again. He grabbed her arms and pulled her closer to him away from the door. Joanna gave a muffled scream as she tried to pull away. She wanted to slap Jack across the face, but he had her arms pinned to her sides. She started using her legs to kick him, but it had no effect. Joanna lifted her leg and kneed Jack between the legs. He pulled away groaning as he fell to the floor. Without a second thought, Joanna unlocked the door and ran out of the cabin. She ran below deck and hid behind a pile of crates, somewhere Jack wouldn't be able to find her. She pulled her knees to her chest and cried. First Barbossa showed he didn't want any kind of relationship with her and then Jack tries to violate her. Today was just not her day.
