Marie and Jack sat down at a table and watched each other carefully for a moment. "Are you captain Jack Sparrow?" Marie finally asked. "The one and only!" Jack replied. "I'm Marie...So this is the Black pearl then, is it?" Marie began. "Of course it is-" "You want to know something funny Mr. Sparrow?" Marie grinned as she interrupted him. "What is it then Marie?" Jack seemed annoyed. "I find it amusing...My younger brother knows everything about this ship, he loves it, knows all the stories! I know for a fact he recognized the ship by its distinctive head when you looted us... Naturally he knows that you are the Captain, so as soon as he arrives in Port Royal he will give all of his information on this ship to the royal navy and they will be out hunting you, thinking that you have kidnapped me." Marie smirked.

Jack considered this for a moment... "Did you say you were going to Port Royal?" Jack asked. "Yes." Marie replied simply. "You were really going to Port Royal?" Jack asked again dully. "Yes! My Cousin Elizabeth's wedding is in a week!" Marie blurted out in anxiety. "She wouldn't happen to be marrying Will Turner? Would she?" Jack suddenly seemed interested. Marie blinked in surprise "Well...Yes. How did you know that?" She looked jack straight in the eye. "Oh I'm full of surprises, love." Jack grinned.

"So you are...Do you know my cousin?" Marie asked eagerly. "Thought you'd never ask! But yea, I do know your cousin...and her Fiancé as well!" Jack proudly launched into the story of how he met Will and Elizabeth and how he recaptured the pearl...Of course he did fail to mention those small parts which included Will breaking him out of jail and Elizabeth being the one to make the signal fire while they were marooned. "Wow...Mr. Sparrow, I honestly just thought you were an Idiot with a ship a few minutes ago, but I see things much differently now!" Marie smiled. "Oh really?" Jack sat up proudly. "No." Marie made a face. Jack rolled his eyes at the girl, "That's not very nice y'know...Calling me, the famous Jack sparrow, an 'Idiot with a ship'" He imitated her voice.

Marie decided to drop the subject, despite the fact she had an immense urge to insult Jack. "You know...You can't keep me on this ship forever..." Marie looked to the floor. "And I don't plan to, love, I am going to personally deliver you to Port Royal...It was quite rude of your cousin not to invite me to the wedding you know! So I figure they must've forgotten but really wanted me to be there anyway, so I'll just show up." Jack said. "Oh I'm sure they'll be...uh, thrilled." Marie flashes a fake smile.

"Commodore! You have to do something! This is my cousin!" Elizabeth pleaded to commodore Norrington who avoided her glance. "Yes, please! She must be terrified! Pirates-" "I'm afraid we can't do anything Mrs. Watson...We have now information as to where your daughter is!" Norrington cut off Marie's mother. "If you won't do something I will! I'll go find her!" Will burst. Elizabeth starred at him with concern. "Wait...I know where my sister is!" Adrian shouted over them. "Well please do tell then." Norrington said dully. "She's on the Black Pearl! Which means she must be with Captain Jack Sparrow, if the stories that he recaptured the pearl are true that is...?" Adrian explained.

"Jack!" Elizabeth exclaimed. "Jack Sparrow?! WHY is he always involved in something...?" Norrington shook his head. "Jack Sparrow wouldn't hurt her...Especially if she mentions that she's related to you Elizabeth." Will began. "He won't hurt her but will he bring her back?!" Elizabeth blurted out seeming distressed. "How do you all know Jack Sparrow?!" Adrian asked eagerly. "It's a long story..." Will, Norrington and Elizabeth all said in unison. "And we'll be hearing it later...Right now we need to find my daughter!" Mrs. Watson sighed.

"So you're taking me home then?" Marie followed Jack around as he walked about the ship. "Yes love, not now though...I don't s'pose you've ever been to the island of Tortuga?" Jack turned to her. Marie shook her head slowly. "You're going to love there!" Jack laughed. "Well if you say so...Actually I highly doubt it." Marie made a face. Jack Shrugged, "You've got to trust me...If you keep up that attitude I might just leave you at Tortuga, get rid of you quicker." Marie fell silent; she didn't want to continue following Jack around...She felt like an idiot for having jumped onto the Pearl in the first place... Yet there she was, dressed like a proper little lady amongst a ship full of grungy pirates.

She crept back into the cabin and stayed there, she looked around the room and then the reality of things hit her...She was on a pirate ship, a young girl surrounded by all of these scary men and one woman...Even though she was scared of Anamaria as well. Marie curled up on the floor behind a couch and buried her face in her knees she tried not to cry but couldn't help it as she continued to think about what was happening to her. She knew Jack was probably lying about bringing her to Port Royal. Marie kept hoping that Jack or one of the crew members would come in to the room and tell her they were at Port Royal...She finally gave up and fell asleep as the sun began to set.

"Marie? Wake up love." Marie felt somebody shaking her softly. She opened her eyes and saw Jack crouching next to her. "We've arrived at Tortuga." He said. Marie turned away from him...She didn't want to go to some Island; she wanted to go to her family! "Come on then, come have a drink with us." Jack nudged her. Marie closed her eyes for a split second, "Alright then..." She stood up and followed Jack off of the ship. "Stay close, I lied...I highly doubt you'll like it here!" Jack shouted to her as they walked down the streets, avoiding crazy street fights and such. "This place is very...Well its nothing like I've ever seen before." Marie gulped as they walked into the bar.

Suddenly Marie screamed as a strange drunken man started pulling at her arm and trying to drag her away. "Let go of her." Jack glared at the man who stumbled backwards and disappeared into the bar fight that was going on near them. "You don't have to protect me you know." Marie said feeling a bit angry, even though she knew she was thankful for Jack's help. "Aye, but I do. You see , If you don't stick close to me one of those drunken bastards, who are running about searching for a beautiful woman, such as yourself, will come and grab you and take you away somewhere, savvy?" Jack explained as they sat down.

"Jack, have you heard what everyone's saying?!" Mr. Gibbs exclaimed as he sat down next to Marie who seemed a bit uncomfortable as she stared around the bar. Jack shook his head as took a gulp of his rum. "Well, threes this new band of pirates around! They call themselves the rogue thieves..." Gibbs began. "Oh wonderful! New pirates!" Jack was bursting with sarcasm; Marie couldn't help but crack a smile. Gibbs shook his head with a grin and continued, "Well you that cave with the unbreakable spell on it with the giant amounts of rare treasures in it that Giles Jackson, Harry Parker and Peter Watson built?" Gibbs said. Marie suddenly looked at him strangely. "Did you just say Peter Watson?" She asked.

"Aye, he helped build collect the treasures in that cave." Gibbs grinned. "Peter Watson is my father...He told me about that cave...Before he died..."Marie said shakily."So you're Marie Watson?" Jack raised an eyebrow. The girl nodded and looked back and forth from Jack to Gibbs. "Well, I was just about to say that only a blood heir of one of those men who built it can break the spell, open the doors and seal them! And might I mention Giles Jackson and Harry Parker don't have any children? Infect I believe they live in England now, so that's no good...And your father is dead." Gibbs explained. "So they need Marie here to open up those doors?" Jack asked. Gibbs nodded, "And listen to this! They heard you were going to Port Royal Marie! So they're going to be going to Port Royal looking for you this evening and won't find you!" Gibbs laughed "Lucky you ended up here with us." Jack grinned.



The two men continued to laugh about the scenario; until they saw Marie's face...She had turned pale with fear. "What is it love? Your safe here with us y'know." Jack patted her on the shoulder. "Aye, it's not as if you have a sibling in Port Royal that they can take in place of you!" Gibbs added. He and Jack laughed again and shook their heads. "I...I have a little brother." Marie's eyes became glassy as she stared at the floor. "We need to go to Port Royal now!" She cried. "A younger brother...Nothing's going to happen to him Marie. I promise...Gibbs; round up the rest of the crew...We're setting sail for Port Royal immediately. "Jack stood up."If anyone deserves that treasure it's us...Marie practically came to us." Jack whispered to Gibbs, who nodded.
