She pulled away slowly, and then licked her lips. It had only been a pittance of a kiss, but she'd be damned if she hadn't felt something. She looked away and coughed.

"Umm, my ear Cap'n . it's still bleedin'." She reminded him.

"Right then, all we've to do is find the swabs and salve and." he furrowed his eyebrows. Where were the cotton swabs and salve? He could swear they'd just been in this very drawer. He slammed the one he'd been looking through shut and started rummaging through the rest.

"Damn!" he swore, when he was finished.

"What is it? What happened?" she asked, peeking over his shoulder.

He spun round and grinned.

"Nothing dove, just a minor technical difficulty." He said, backing up towards the door slowly. "I'll be right back, don't go anywhere." He instructed, then swiftly spun on his heel and left.

Suddenly she ran to the door and slammed it shut, locking it. He turned around and gave her a suspicious look, then tried the door. Nothing happened. He yanked and struggled, like a wild animal and still nothing happened. His gaze rose and she flashed the key in her hand. He licked his teeth, trying to stay calm, and eventually spun around again and left grumbling.

Adelyn smiled and pulled the cotton and salve out from under her shirt, gently applying it to her ear. Then she looked to her right and grinned. She backed up and began running towards Jack's bed. Now hers for the night. She flipped in mid-air landing on the bed on her back, laughing.

"Gosh! All this space, just for me!" she laughed, then stripped down to her knickers and slithered under the sheets.

~~~

The next morning she walked briskly into the dining quarters, quite full of energy from a good night's rest.

She got her self some food then sat down opposite her captain.

"G'mornin' Jack!"-

"Captain Jack!" he reminded her, coldly.

She sighed, and then put on a fake smile.

"My deepest apologies!" she said in mockery, "Captain." She bit off at the end.

"In any account I trust you slept well?" she asked him.

He stopped and tried to calm himself, "Oh yes quite, the crow's nest makes a lovely bed." He took a swig of his rum, "Especially in the rain."

Adelyn almost spit out her own drink. The other girls and the rest of the crew were howling with laughter.

"Looks like by the end of this we'll have two captains! Eh, Jack!" Gibbs laughed.

"Jack, I am sorry." She apologized softly, leaning forward, "However I did find the salve after you left, don't know why you couldn't find it." She said innocently, her eyes dancing with mischief.

Suddenly one of the men keeping watch up on deck flew down the stairs.

"Cap'n it's another ship, they're headin' right for us; we'll surely crash into the whole bloody thing Cap'n!" He gasped, struggling to catch his breath.

Jack rushed to the helm and begun trying to furiously move away from the on- coming ship. When suddenly, the ship slowed and just as it looked as if it were going to crash into them stopped. It was right next to the Black Pearl. Jack was curious; he wandered down on the deck to see what the ship needed perhaps. But what he saw was an even bigger surprise; there was no one on the ship. No one at the helm, no one in the crows nest, and no one on deck.

"What the-" Jack was cut off.

Suddenly the girls had swooped down on ropes to investigate, Avelyn almost ran into him as she flew by.

"Girls get back on this ship right now!"-

"No daddy, I think we'll go a lookin' eh?" Adelyn called back, then turned around and began to walk about the ship.

"God blast it all!" he hissed, "Those girls'll be the death o' me!"

Adelyn was walking about on the ship passing by useless things, she picked up a cup and it still had a bit of rum in it.

"Well that's odd I wonder what happen-" She was abruptly cut off by someone very large putting her in a headlock from behind.

She concentrated for a moment, then wrapped her arms around their arms and back flipped them onto the ground. She gasped when she realized who'd she'd just flipped.

"Omigosh! Jack I am so so so sorry! Are you hurt?" she asked, kneeling beside him.

"I think I could use some mouth to mouth." he choked out. Her face went solemn and she rolled her eyes, then grabbed his hand and yanked him up rather harshly.

"Don't do that!" She yelled at him.

"Well go back to the ship; you don't know what's over here." Jack ordered her.

"WELL that's why I came over here, to find out!" She argued with him.

"Go back to the ship."

"No."

"Yes."

"NO."

"YES."

'NO!"

And thus they argued not noticing what was coming up behind them.

Suddenly, Ady couldn't feel the hot Caribbean sun on her skin anymore. She looked up, and saw staring back down at her seven very large men, all very hostile looking, and all carrying machetes.

"H-hullo." Jack said, a scared smile finding its way onto his face.

The one in front gave a slow malicious smile.

"Hullo." he said, his deep voice booming.

~~~

"All you had to do was go back to the ruddy ship! Is it too much for a captain to ask that his crew follow his orders!?" Jack shouted at Ady as they stood in the one of the ships six dungeon cells. She stared at the ceiling, trying not to pay attention. The other girls were watching curiously, anxious to see what would unfold, from their own cells.

He cuffed her chin and forced her to look at him. She frowned and knocked him off of her.

"How many times am I gunna 'ave to tell you? Don't touch me!" she shouted.

"AAHHH, yer drivin', me CRAZY." He yelled at her, throwing his hands in the air.

Her reply was simple. "Good."

"AAHHH out o' ALL the girls in the world WHY, WHY did I 'ave ta get stuck with YOU!'' He screamed at her sitting in the corner of the cell apparently trying to get as far away from her as possible.

"I dunno," She smiled this time. "Luck?" The girls giggled.

He gave some fake laughter then went back to being smug.

"Well WHY did we 'ave to be in the same cell???? Six cells, SIX CELLS, and I get stuck with YOU." She yelled becoming angry again.

"Oh would you two quite yer bickerin'?!" the guard shouted.

"Stay outta this!" they both shouted at the same time in his direction.

The guard got up and shoved a hand in, grabbing Adelyn by the hair.

"I'd watch what I was sayin' if I were you puppet, or else it'll be you we're 'avin fer dessert tonight!" he growled.

Jack got up instantaneously. He grabbed the guard by the collar and yanked him up about a foot in the air.

"I dun care what she's done you keep yer bloody 'ands off me crew, you hear me!?" he shouted.

The guard looked scared then instantly let go of Adelyn's hair. He backed up and sat down in his chair grumbling again.

Adelyn looked to Jack. "......err.....thanks? I guess..." She said a bit confused, she thought he would've enjoyed seeing her in pain. Maybe even laughed at it while she struggled. But she really didn't expect that.

"Yah," Jack said sitting down and leaning against the bars again. "Like I was saying if you had just stayed on the ship none of this-" He was cut off.

Another guard had come down and yanked Tabitha out of her cell with Rozalind. Everyone watched intently except Adelyn and Jack who instantly started yelling at the guard.

"You put her down!" Adelyn screamed.

"Put her back in that cell!" Jack yelled.

"YOU TWO SHUT UP!" The guard holding Tabby said. And he did it so loudly and forcefully that Jack and Adelyn were a bit taken back.

The guard was holding Tabby with his hand around her stomach arms tucked in so she couldn't hit him and then by her legs also. Tabby was quite strong but couldn't fight him. He was restraining her too well.

But not so much restraint was on Roz. She punched the guard like he was a street boy back in Savanna, and then proceeded to knee him. The guard fell and the other ran to help. But they both stopped as another, gigantic man started slowly trotting down the steps. The same man who'd ordered their imprisonment.

"You'll be needin' to go back in yer cell lasses if ya don't I'm afraid I can't guarantee I'll keep my temper in check." The captain of this boat smiled at them, he was huge, and Roz and Tabitha got the picture and scrambled back into their cell closing the door.

The captain bellowed with laughter, and Avy stuck her tongue out at him, she was the youngest.

"I'd close yer mouth if ya wanna keep that tongue o' yers." He said with a grin to kill and pulled out a knife and stuck it square in front of her face. Avy's eyes widened and she pulled her tongue back in quick. But he didn't move the knife.

"HEY! You keep yer dirty mitts offa her!" Adelyn yelled grasping the bars to her and Jack's cell. Everyone turned to her. And the captain pulled his knife away. Walking over to Adelyn, she suddenly wished she hadn't just said that.

He grinned at her.

"'Ello dovey, and what business do you 'ave tryin' to be intimidatin' a pirate?" he asked.

"Th-that's me sista, and I'd be much obliged." She paused to swallow, "If you'd not breathe in my face mate, honestly what 'ave you been eatin'?" she coughed.

His features went into mad rage that she'd dare scoff at him. He opened the cell and grabbed her by the hair, dragging her out. Jack was suddenly on his feet.

"Why you little tramp! 'Ow dare you!"

"Let me go!" she screamed.

"Honestly, it's such a waste of talent." Jack mumbled, leaning against the cell frame.

"What rubbish are you talkin'?" the captain growled, spinning 'round.

Jack was lazily pushing the door back with his finger and as it kept swinging back to him. His eyes went up and met the captain's.

"Me? I was just saying, I mean these girls do 'ave so much talent, and honestly its wasted everywhere they go!" jack explained, slowly walking up to the man.

"What type 'o talen'?" he asked, his hand still holding a firm grip on Adelyn.

"Singing . stage trooping, oh and there is dancing, but you lot wouldn't wanna see that!?" Jack laughed.

The Captain looked down at Ady.

"Dancin' is it?!" he said, a smile in his very tone of voice.

"We wouldn't mind dancin' a'tall, would we mates?" he asked. They all grinned now.

It was gunna be a long night.
