Note: Guys don't be too hard on me because this chapter is going to be on the sad side and with some fluff to it. I mean how would you feel if something like that happened to you? Yes, I'm sure you would be balling like a baby. So Jack and Sonya decide to get a little closer.

Aftermath

The crew took barrels full of gunpowder from the Armory and spread it all over

the place, then lit it. After they cast off, they all lined up next to each other, watching The

Rigger burn down. Sonya watched the bodies being burned. She turned around and

walked away, her boots making clicking noises as she walked across the deck. She

couldn't bring herself to watch Black being burned. She led herself down to a room

where drinks were stored in cabinets. Sitting down on a wooden bench carefully, she

wondered how the heck Blacktooth fell asleep while everyone was fighting. He was

supposed to be unconscience, but obviously, if he had been, then he must have fallen

asleep after he regained conscience. Her thoughts turned to Black; she couldn't get the

image out of her head of turning around seeing him alive and healthy right before her

eyes. Once more the feeling of being betrayed welled up in her. What of Jack did that to

her? Her heart was shattered, how dare she let him get so close to her like that. And

where was he now? Probable sitting up on deck, laughing his head off. She suppressed

tears. She was strong and pirates did not cry. She froze in mid-thought as she suddenly felt a pair of hands on her shoulders but

then she saw Jack sit beside her. "I was worried about ye lass. I was going to follow ye

but I thought ye needed to be left alone fer a bit," Jack said with a worried note in his

voice. He turned her so that she couldn't help but look in his eyes. It struck her that he

really did have beautiful eyes. Jack continued, "I'm sorry fer what happened to ye out

there." Sonya stared at him with coldness in her eyes. "What do ye know? Have ye ever

gone through this?" Jack shifted at this, "Well no but I'm not that idiot!" Sonya put her

head in the crook of his neck. She sighed as if in defeat, tired of hurting. He felt

something wet drip down on what part of his chest he had exposed. He looked down to

see tears silently rolling down her face and then, like an explosion, she burst into tears.

Jack let her cry knowing full well that he was to be the only one who would know that

she could cry. Sonya cried for atleast thirty minutes. Hiccuping, she looked up at him,

trying hard to pull herself together. "Why are you here?" She said inbetween hiccups.

Jack thought for a moment before saying, "Because I care for ye lass and from the very

first time I saw ye in Port Royal I knew I had to have ye. Yer a diamond in the rough and

any man who would let ye go is crazy and full of too much rum!" At that moment her hiccups stopped. "And where did ye say we where to be

going?" She said. "To Tortuga like we originally planned lass!" Jack grinned and winked

at her. "And if yer up to it, ye can beat up a fellow or two!" Jack said. Sonya smiled at

this. Maybe it really was going to be ok.
