The next morning, the Pearl was sailing again. Gibbs was steering the wheel, while Jack was rummaging through maps, comparing them to the drawing of the island where supposedly the treasure was located.

Last night, Jack and Angelica had returned to the Pearl late. Angelica had dragged Jack along with her to Salma to say goodbye. She, however, had invited them over for dinner. To his surprise, Jack had actually quite enjoyed it. Afterwards, he and Angelica had walked around town for a while before finally returning to the Pearl.

When they left Tortuga this morning, Jack had vaguely instructed Gibbs to make sail without mentioning where to. And now, two hours later, there still was no heading. Or rather, Jack tried to act as if there was while there really wasn't.

The "heading matter" was frustrating to Jack, everyone on the Pearl could tell. They carefully avoided him in order to not make him go more insane. Unfortunately, the man standing next to him simply couldn't avoid his captain.

"Eh, cap'n?" Gibbs asked while keeping his gaze in front of him.

"What?" Jack kept looking at the maps in front of him. Old ones, new ones, all of them.

"I'm trying to understand. If you don't know where the island is, how do you know we're going into the right direction?"

Jack remained quiet for a few minutes. He then took a map and the drawing and went to stand in front of Gibbs, holding up the two.

"Please tell me these two aren't the same."

Gibbs squinted his eyes. He couldn't tell which island, or islands, this was – Jack had covered the name with his hand.

"What ye mean? Even a blind sailor can see it be the same!" Gibbs finally said.

"Ha, you found the island!"

Jack slowly put the papers away when he heard that voice. He saw Angelica standing next to Gibbs. Convincing Gibbs was one thing, but convincing her, that was a challenge.

"Cap'n?" Gibbs asked when he saw Jack's face. He looked like he had been hit by a brick.

"Jack?" Angelica added. She looked at Gibbs, who just shrugged in return: he didn't know either.

Angelica's eyes fell on the maps in his hand. It immediately became her goal to obtain them. She eyed Gibbs; her eyes were telling him what she was about to do. He nodded to her, encouraging her to do it.

She slowly approached him. In one swift move, she took the map from his hands. He tried to take them back, but he was too late. Angelica ran back to Gibbs and together they looked at the map.

"Shipwreck Island…" Angelica read.

"Oh…" Gibbs said, looking up to Jack, who was leaning against the steering wheel. He immediately seemed to understand Jack's weird behavior now.

"Exactly." Jack rolled his eyes.

When he had first seen the map of the island, after which he had drawn it himself, it was dark, and he hadn't paid too much attention. However, when he had looked at it last night again, and this morning again, he recognized it. He just really wished he was wrong.

"Is that…" Angelica started.

"Aye…" Gibbs finished her sentence, nodding in return.

"We're not going." Jack started to walk toward his cabin, obviously running away from this conversation. While Gibbs watched him leave, Angelica decided to take matters into her own hands.

As quick as she was, she pulled him back, pushing him against the wall. It was impressive, there was no denying that. She held a small knife against his face. Jack frowned; where did she get that from?

Jack had told him many times about how manipulative and quick she was, but Gibbs started to see more and more that was true.

"We are going, there is no arguing that point." Angelica spoke with a warning voice.

"Good luck getting there, sweetness." Jack sarcastically smiled. The knife clearly did not scare him.

"Gibbs, set sail to Shipwreck Island." Angelica yelled to the man standing behind her. If he would not cooperate, she would work with Gibbs. Or at least, she thought so.

Jack immediately started to grin. Angelica frowned confused before she heard Gibbs response, which explained Jack's reaction to her order to Gibbs.

"I'm sorry, but I can't. Jack is the only one that knows how to get the Pearl there…" Gibbs shrugged.

"You've sailed with him for years and you didn't care to remember how to get there?!" Angelica hissed.

"It's even worse. He first sailed with my father and Grandmama… he has been to Shipwreck Island many times. That's how bloody stupid he is, aye." Jack sarcastically spoke.

Gibbs rolled his eyes at his stubborn captain. Over the years, he had learned that it was better to just ignore comments such as these when Jack was in such a mood.

"Good thing I'm not as stupid as you two then." Angelica said, raising her eyebrow.

Jack then felt her rip something off his trousers. She immediately walked toward the steering wheel. When Jack looked down, he saw his compass was gone. Again, she had outsmarted him. Bloody woman.

Angelica was standing at the steering wheel, holding the compass in her hand. When it stopped spinning, she steered the wheel a little to make sure they were going in the right direction.

Gibbs started laughing but immediately stopped when Jack looked at him with eyes that could kill. Slowly, Jack approached her from behind. He tried to look over her shoulder without touching her.

"Leave, Sparrow." Angelica felt his breath in her neck. Jack rolled his eyes. He quickly tried to come up with something.

"You're not going in the right direction, dear."

He almost whispered the words in her ear, it was how close he was to her face. He placed his hands on her hips, keeping his gaze on his compass in her hands.

Seducing her, that was his plan. Getting her to soften up to him just enough so that he could snatch the compass out of her hands and run away to his cabin. Fact was, without the compass, Gibbs and Angelica would have no idea where to go.

Angelica ignored him and kept steering the wheel. "Gibbs, full canvas. And some water, please."

"Aye, aye, miss!" Gibbs ran off to give the crew orders on deck. In this occasion, he was definitely on her side – not on Jack's.

Jack watched the whole situation with despise. He needed to get her on his side. He needed to try harder.

"Where did ye hide that knife, luv?" His lips were now brushing against her ear.

Angelica let out a loud chuckle. "I'd love to show you, but I'm afraid you've gambled away your chances."

Jack rolled his eyes. He had to change his strategy, because this obviously was not working in his favor. And he knew he had to do it fast: Shipwreck Island only days away from Tortuga - which, of course, only he knew.

"You really don't want to go there, luv." Jack's lips were against her ear, speaking with a rough, but warning voice.

Angelica leaned against him. "Give me one good reason, mi amor."

Mi amor. The woman knew what she was doing, or rather, what he was doing, and using it against him.

"My whole family is there. I owe them all money. I haven't been there in years…"

Jack kept rambling on and on, desperately trying to convince her not to go to the place where he had grown up.

"My father was Blackbeard; I think your family cannot be any worse than mine." Angelica nonchalantly said.

Jack sighed. He could not deny it: Blackbeard was way worse than any member in his own family – and there were a lot.

But that was the problem, though. There were a lot, and neither of them could be trusted. They were all pirates and thieves. Jack had often been the one to outsmart them, and they did not love him for it.

Most importantly, if they would hear anything about this treasure, they would try to get it themselves. And Jack had seen from an early age that they were not afraid to hurt their own relatives in order to get what they wanted.

Angelica suddenly turned around. She leaned against the wheel and crossed her arms, examining him. She raised her eyebrows, forcing him to cut the crap and tell the truth.

Jack rolled his eyes but decided he could in no way manipulate her this time. But the truth was simple: he really did not want to see his whole family again, ever again, in fact. They were all nuts.

"If anyone of them hears about this treasure, they will try to get it themselves."

Jack said with a low voice, making sure this stayed between the two of them. He had only vaguely informed his crew about their quest.

"They don't have the rings." Angelica replied, holding up her hands.

"They can steal them from us, aye." Jack said. In the Teague family, stealing was the same as eating. It was just what they did.

"And they are romantically involved with each other?" Angelica shot back.

Jack frowned. "I don't hope so…"

Angelica raised her eyebrows, looking at him annoyed.

"Also, I think Grandmama still lives…" Jack continued.

"What? You're afraid of your grandmother who must be over 100 years old?"

"She tried to kill me three times!"

"Jack, we are going. Basta! I don't need you; I have the compass."

"How you're going to get in?"

"What do you mean "in"? It is an island."

"…which you enter through the Cove."

"Then we enter the Cove."

"Only I can do that."

"Let's see about that…" Angelica turned around again, opened the compass, and steered the wheel.

After what felt like hours, Gibbs finally came back with the water Angelica had asked for. It was the perfect opportunity for her to get rid of the annoying man she had been bickering with for way too long now.

"Gibbs, get this scallywag away from me, please."

"What?!"

"You heard me! Desgraciado..."

Thank you for your reviews! I have another chapter ready to go, so expect that soon! :)
