When Will saw the reaction on Elizabeth's face, he smiled a bit and reached
out to comfort her with a gentle kiss. "Don't worry, love, you'll be fine."
Will promised. Jack, having gone on a search for more rum, had left them to
guard their ship. The two were sitting on board when a lone black-clad
figure SWISHED on board. Will, who was kissing Elizabeth, didn't noticed.
But Elizabeth did. Her hands, which had been running through his hair,
turned his head to notice the figure that was now holding a gun at them.
"Who are you?" He choked, standing up and moving in front of Elizabeth. The figure did not lower his gun.
"That is not important." The figure said. "What is important is that you cooperate with me." The figure lowered his gun and pulled out a rope. "Sit." He instructed them. "You will not be harmed so long as you cooperate with me." He tied the two together and finally removed his mask. Excuse me, HER mask. The figure was a woman.
"Don't even think about trying to escape. Catherine sees all."
What she did not see, however, was Jack SWISH on board with a knife in his hand. He crept up behind the woman and in a sudden movement held the knife against her throat. "You see all, do ye, mate?" He asked, taking ANOTHER rope and tying it around her hands, then tying her to a post. "Now, who are you?"
The woman shook her head.
"I have my ways with women." Jack said, taking a knife and pressing it against her throat. Catherine laughed.
"What?!" Jack asked. "Why are you laughing?"
"Because you wouldn't kill me." She answered. "If you killed me you wouldn't learn anything."
"What if I didn't want to learn anything? What if I just wanted to kill you?" Jack asked.
"You don't."
"I don't what?"
"You don't want to kill me. I might have believed that if you hadn't asked me who I was, but since you did, I'll be expecting you want an answer."
"Not really." Jack said, pressing the knife harder against her throat. Her pupils contracted the slightest bit, Jack noticed, but other than that, she was hiding her fear very well.
"Jack?" Will asked. "A little help?"
"In a minute, mate." Jack said. "I promise ye I'll be there in a minute."
"Sure." Will muttered under his breath.
"Who are you, to be threatening a lady such as myself?" Catherine asked.
"I'm captain Jack Sparrow, love." Jack said. "You can keep trying to sidetrack me all night and they can stay tied to the post-'' He pointed to Will and Elizabeth- "But one way or another, I am going to make you tell me who you are."
"I'M CATHERINE!" She yelled. "Me father wuz a pirate an' I wuz comin' to reclaim 'is treasure! Lemme go!" She finished. "I swear, when I get me hands on you, you little."
"Tut, tut, such language." Jack said. "If only your mother could hear you."
"I had no mother." Catherine said flatly. "Anyway, release me, ye vile dung heap, or yeh'll be hearin' from me!"
"Sheez!" Jack said. "Nope, sorry, little missy, I'm not letting ye go. Yeh'll stay there and in the morning if yeh are still there, I might let ye go. Arright, yeh two, yer' sleepin' in separate rooms tonight. Can' risk Liz being with child on our journey." Jack said. "An' don' even think about sneakin' around at night, either. Yeh'll stay put I ye know what's best for ye."
"Fine." Both muttered. They turned away, but once they were out of sight and earshot, Will turned to Elizabeth and said, "I wouldn't do anything to get you with child, you know that, right?"
"Of course I know that. I love you so much, Will." She said. She kissed him gently. "But I really must get some sleep. Goodnight." She walked the length of the hall and into her room. Will stared at her for a moment before turning and going back into his.

"So, yer a pirate's daughter, are ye, now?" Jack asked, cutting the ropes off of her wrists. "Yeh'll be doin' the right thing to leave now, missy. Dangerous business, bein' a pirate is. Don' want ye to get hurt."
"Sure." Catherine muttered. "Captain Jack Sparrow. I am not going anywhere and that is that." She started singing. "Yo, ho, yo, ho, a pirate's life for me." Jack joined in.
"YO, HO, YO, HO, A PIRATE'S LIFE FOR ME!!! AND REALLY BAD EGGS!!!" He sang.
