Catherine and Jack woke up the next morning snuggled together. They watched the sun come up and went for a swim before realizing that they had to get back to the Pearl. They walked down the already busy Port Royal streets arm-in-arm laughing and singing. As soon as she saw Cep, she was going to tell him the whole plan was off. It wasn't worth it. When they reached the dock, something was wrong. The mighty Black Pearl was gone. Jack ran to where he had tied her up and instead found a note scribbled on old parchment and fastened to a post. He read it once over, and then passed it to Cat, fuming with anger.
Cat-
You did your job beautifully. I heard a few men talking about how you led him down the beach. Great way to buy time! I have the ship, the old crew, and my new one. They all assembled down here very early this morning. The old crew put up a good fight, but as you can see, we won. We're going to the place we talked about. The Black Pearl is finally where it belongs, in the Barbossa family. I've got it from here, great job once again, Cat!
-Your brother
Cat slowly lifted her eyes to look at Jack. He was staring at her. A silent tear ran down her cheek.

Cep stood on the bow, admiring his ship. **My ship.** he thought, **my father's ship.** He watched his mismatched crew of the original crew of the Pearl's children and any other pirate he could find that would help. He knew the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow would be along soon try to reclaim it. He wouldn't let that happen. He couldn't let that happen. He reviewed the objectives of his plan in his head, **1) Take control of the Pearl, 2) Kill Jack Sparrow, 3) Avenge my father's death.** He smiled. **So far one out of three.**
***
Jack looked down at Cat. **How could she do this to him? Was everything fake? Last night?** His thoughts were coming in short spasms.
"Wha.what is you.your last name??" his breathing became short and shallow. It hurt to look at her.
She closed her eyes to try to stop, or at least slow, the tears long enough to answer him. He deserved to know the truth.
"Barbossa," she paused, "My name is Catherine Barbossa."
His head exploded. Everything having to do with her whirled through his mind all at once. He had to get away from here. He gathered his composure and walked past her.
"Let's go find another ship. We're going after him. You need to tell me where we're going." He said harshly.
She looked up into his eyes. They were cold and steel gray. She tried to explain everything to him as they walked, but whenever she opened her mouth, all that came out were short gasps.
***
They "commandeered" a ship out of Port Royal and out into sea. Cat had still been unable to talk to Jack, and he hadn't made any effort toward her, either. Night began to settle in before they finally spoke.
Cat sat on the main deck of the boat, watching the Sun go down and the stars appear. Cat pulled out a flask, but realizing it was Jack's, she threw it on the floor. Jack came over, picked it up, and sat down next to her, taking a drink. Taking this opportunity of him being within hearing distance and her being able to talk, she went straight to explaining.
"Jack, I'm so sorry. I.I planned this before I new you. My brother Cep, planned to take control of the Pearl and to kill you. He wanted revenge on our father's death. He wanted you to pay. I thought I did too," she paused, "but then I got to know you. And.fell in love."
He looked at her. He wanted to forgive her with all of his being, but he didn't know if he could trust her.he didn't know if he could ever trust her again.
