Note: THERE ARE SCEENES WHERE JACK GETS HURT. A LOT. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO READ ABOUT JACK GETTING HURT TURN BACK NOW!! (yes, hadda add it for all u fans that think Jacky- poo should never ever ever get hurt or beaten.=^.^=)

OK, on with the story!

"So just sit tight as I decide how I'm gonna torture ye and the little mouse." Medoro's sinister voice hissed as he turned to face the stairs which he came down. Standing there were two burly men, by all means bigger looking then Jack.

"Jack." Mara said in a frightened tone. She came closer to Jack and he grabbed her hand.

"It'll be alright, luv." He replied to her and she gave a sad look on her face. Under his breath he added, ".I hope."

Just then, Merdoro opened the door to their cell and the two burly pirate men came and one grabbed hold of Mara and the other got Jack. They pulled them apart and Jack started to try and break free, in vain. Mara screamed ruthlessly and twisted and turned but the man had a better grip on her then should could break. Quickly, both their hands were tied and a gag put about their mouth. Mara still tried to fight but Merdoro came and held her chin between two of his fingers.

"Now now, little mouse, the more ye fight the more yer gonna hurt tonight after what me men have in store for ye."

At this Mara started trying to break free even more, her whole body contorting to try and slip free of the mans hold. But then, Merdoro slapped her and she stopped in pure shock. Jack had already been taken away and now Mara was by herself in a warm, wet cell with the Captain and his henchman.

"Take her up so we can began the torture." Merdoro ordered and the man picked Mara up and slung her over his shoulder and carried her up to the main deck. There, Jack hands had been freed, but then he was tied in between two masts. His hands were outstretched on either side of him and his feet were free but he had to stand on his toes to be able to save his wrists, which were stretched as far as they could go. His shirt had been removed and his back was to the crew and Mara when she came up.

"Ah yes, when yer ready ye can whip 'im fer all he's worth." Merdoro said followed by his sinister laugh. At that, the burly man that had taken Jack away lifter a whip and cracked it down on his back. He didn't cry out only cringed. CRACK! The whip came down again, and again. But Jack never cried out.

*Is his mouth still gagged? * Mara thought as she looked upon Jack
being beaten.

"Whip 'im until he cries out in pain and agony." The vicious Platt called to the man who was whipping Jack, almost reading Mara's mind.

CRACK! The whip came down hard again. A small grunt was heard coming from Jacks throat but it wasn't a wimpy cry. Mara couldn't take it anymore. She began to struggle against the man who held her captive but he still had that iron strong grip on her.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! The whip pounded mercilessly onto Jacks back, which was bleeding heavily from the blows.

*Please Jack, just cry out to make it stop, please. *

The whip came down hard again and again, and Jack refused to call out to make it stop. He only cringed in pain every time the cursed lash came down upon his almost numb back. The man holding Mara took off her gag so that she could give the crew a laugh if she cried out for Jack.

*Please Jack. * Mara began to struggle against the man and managed to break free. The whipper lashed Jack one more time and at this his whole body went limp.

"NOOOO!!!" Mara yelled as she ran towards Jack. Her hands were still tied and the man grabbed her again and she struggled as hard as she could. The whipper took his cutlass and cut the ropes that held Jack hands and he fell to the deck, blood covering his back and some spilling onto the deck.

"Noo, Jack. nooo." Mara stopped her struggling and stood there as the crew took Jack back down to the hull.

"Ahh, mousy, that was only the beginning of the torture in which ye and Sparrow are gonna endure." Merdoro came up to Mara and held her chin like he had earlier.

"You evil sick villain." Mara spat at him. This froze Merdoro and he threw her head away from his.

"You will not speak to yer Captain like that, ye hear? For that, yer Jack is gonna receive even more lashes when he awakens, Miss Mara." Merdoro ordered her to be taken back down the hull. The man placed her in the cell across from Jack, just so she couldn't help him out in any way.

Mara was thrown into the cell and the door quickly locked. She started to cry because she couldn't get to her Jack. She looked at his still figure lying in the cell across from hers. She could tell her was barely breathing and she needed to get to him so badly, ooo so badly. She sat there against the cell wall closest to his all night, when in early morning the dark world known as sleep came and conquered her senses.

O no. Jack got hurt. :( not cool. Well, hopefully Mara can find a way to help him in the next few chapters. Ooo yay. But keep checkin back for more updates. O yeah, school starts tommorro for me so its gonna take a little longer to get chapters posted but I'll have all my friends help me with the story. Yayayayay good times.
