Broken Sword (chapter 2)

When Jack and Sword got back to the Pearl, Jack tells the crew that they have a new crewmember.They weren't much glad about it.

Gibbs shook his head, and mumbled, not bothering to voice his worries to the Captain "'Tis bad luck to 'ave a woman on board..."he said to himself. He has told the captain that a few times already, he was just glad that Miss Swann was far away, and Anamaria had her own ship to bring bad luck on now...but to have one in the crew...

Jack went over next to Gibbs, and stood, waiting.After he got no response, he raised an eyebrow at the pirate."Captain?" Gibbs asked, wanting to know what he was waiting for.

Jack grinned "Say it, mate..."he said simply.

Gibbs understood, and smiled too."Aye, Captain, I already said it.'Tis bad luck to 'ave a woman on board."He muttered.

Jack's grin widened, "Well, mate, put yer mind at ease...By now yeh should 'ave learned that I know 'ow to counter bad luck. Yeh know who that lass is? She's Sword, captain...ex-captain o' the Silver Leaf.With 'er around our plunder will double if not more..."He said so the whole crew could hear. They all thrust their fists in the air in reply.He looked happily over them.He still appretiated his boat and crew as much as the day he got them back.

He saw Sword walking around the deck, and knew by her expression that she fell in love with the ship too."Aye, I'll help as much as i can."she stated happily.She already moved around with such familiarity as if she had spent her whole life there.

Gibbs watched as Jack watched Sword, and called him over, to talk to him out of the girl's earshot."Captain, if i may say, I don't think t'is a good idea." He said, looking worried at the girl.

"I know what yeh mean, mate, but pirate or not,after what she been through, she won't commit no mutiny.And if yeh think o' using her to mutiny, I 'ave a feelin' yeh might just find yerself a corpse washed out on a beach somwhere at 'er 'ands.An' be that the case, you'd deserve it."Jack said, smiling at the old man, slapping him on the shoulder.

Jack walked back to Sword."Can yeh sing,love?" he asked her.

"Don't got much to sing 'bout."she stated plainly, shrugging.she was back to her old confident self again, but the sad anger never left her eyes, and it never will, Jack knew, because she will never be able to get revenge.

"Well, when I was marooned on that bloody island the second time,"He said,"I'm sure you know the story...I said I'd teach the whole crew a song...a Pirate's Life...so we could sing it..."he stopped, and raised an eyebrow.

Sword got it."Aye, I know the song...yeh want me te teach 'em..."she said, voicing his thoughts.He nodded. "Jack...Captain, think, mate, the crew will throw me off the ship if the firs' thing I do is try to teach 'em a bloody song. If it was a man in me place, they'd accept it, but I'm a girl, an' new to 'em..."

Jack knew she was right."A'ight then...yeh'll sing it with me then.Mebbe they'll pick it up."he said strictly, but with his usual grin on his face.

Sword laughed, for the first time."Yer an interesting one, ain't yeh, mate?" She chuckled "Aye, I'll be glad te sing it with yeh!"

Jack turned as if to check what the rest of the crew were doing behind him.He felt like he had just revealed something to her that he didn't want getting out, even if he didn't know what that something was. He started humming, and pretty soon, him and Sword were singing at the top of their voice as they sailed off...

"We pillage, we plunder, we rifle, and loot,

Drink up, me earties, yo ho.

We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot,

Drink up me earties, yo ho.

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me."
