Chapter 9:
"Ye know Will? Why are women like that?" The stumbling captain asked as he and William tried to walk to the tavern. "I don't know Jack, I just don't know." "Thank god you're a man Will." Jack said while getting really close to Will's face and breathing on him. "I do thank god." The men started to laugh as they entered the tavern.
Salina casually walked down the long garden thinking of what to say to Jack when she sees him. 'Oh God. What can I tell him? How do I explain that kiss, Oh he'll never understand.' Salina stopped and dropped to the ground. 'Why is life so hard. This never would've happened if I hadn't saved Jack's life. I'm such a stupid girl. But if I didn't save him I would never have really met him or got to know him, and he's not that bad after you get past the really bad smell and the swaying.' Salina got up and brushed off the green dress. She turned a few times to get the wrinkles out and then played with her hair a little.
Back in the tavern Jack sat between Gibbs and Will laughing and nearly falling over, the men had really bad manners and could burp extremely loud. A woman with long curly black hair came waltzing over to the table. "Jack? Jack Sparrow is that you?" "Depends. Who's askin'?" "It's me Jordan Knight." The woman spoke with a Scottish tong. "Oh. Hey, love. Care to join us?" Jack opened his arms wide spread across the table. "Sure." Jordan had a devilish look as she sat down next to Jack. "It's been a long time Jack." "Aye that it has." He said while nuzzling her face. Jordan leaned in a little closer and they began to kiss uncontrollably.
At the same time Salina opened up the tavern door. When she entered it seemed that every man looked at her. All, that is, except Jack, who too busy kissing Jordan. Salina stood in the doorway, her pastel green dress enhancing her blue eyes, her enchanting blond her flew up from a gust of wind caused by the shutting of the doors. Salina turned and her heart sank further then it had ever done before, she had become so numb that she couldn't even cry. But her numbness faded away as her temper began to rise, she could feel her cheeks become warm as she stomped towards Jack. There was a silence that swept across the tavern as this young woman so gallantly approached this pirate.
Gibbs cleared his throat trying to get Jack's attention; the dark hair enchantress now sat sideways on Jack's lap. Salina stood there like a stone statue, just staring away at the man and women before her. One solitary tear slid down her cheek, it looked so could that it could've frozen to her face. Jack finally looked up from the women and was startled to see Salina standing there, looking more radiant then ever before. Salina dropped her head and closed her eyes; she took a deep breath and licked her lips. "I've nearly forgotten my words. You see I came in here to apologize to you." She said it so frailly that it could barley be heard. Salina seemed so calm and content when she said it.
"Sali-." Jack tried to speak. "No! No, don't speak." She opened her eyes now and yet another tear came flowing down. Jordan tossed her eyes back and fourth between the two of them. "Jack did I miss something? Love?" The women pulled herself closer to him. "Hold on! Girl you really thought he'd love you?" The woman tilted her head back laughing; her neck was so skinny it looked like it was going to break off. "You thought he could love you! This man doesn't need a wife nor a woman to keep him going. You're just an object, easily discarded when he's done with you" Jordan was now up circling Salina grazing her shoulders with her nails. Jack sat at the table; bottle in one hand the other propped to help keep him up straight, he had a dumbfounded look on his face.
"So I guess that makes you a whore." Salina said loud and boldly. Jordan now stood in front of Salina; she ran her fingertips up and down Salina's cheek until she pulled her in and kissed her. The whole tavern gasped. Salina shoved the women off of her and Jordan flew back onto the table laughing hysterically. "This ones fiery, Jack. Where'd you get her?" Will stood up. "That's enough Jordan!" Jordan turned around and got close to Will. "Awe, is Will afraid I'll hurt her." The women smiled but it didn't last long because soon she was thrown up against the bar. Salina held the woman good and tight by the neck. Jordan was choking trying to breath. "Now for your first lesson, how to be silent." Salina grinned a little. Jordan lifted her leg and kicked Salina in the back.
Salina fell to the floor and quickly pushed herself up just in time to escape a flying chair. "Ha!" Jordan yelled as if she was playing a game. 'How can she move so fast?' Salina noticed her dress it was cut short where as Salina's was long. "Hey you! Yes you behind the bar! Pass me that sword!" Salina caught the sword and quickly hacked the bottom of her dress off. "Sorry Will!" Jack looked up to Will questioning her statement. "You bought her a dress?" "Yes." "Oh. Okay." Jack turned and continued to watch the two women duel. Now that Jordan had a sword it could be considered a proper duel. Salina hopped up onto the bar continually hitting sword against sword.
"You Bitch! Why fight? Do you Honestly think he'll come back to you just because you fought for him?" Jordan stated while lunging for Salina. Salina rolled passed the lung right onto Jordans back. "Who said I was fighting for him! Ah!" Salina raised the sword just as Jordan turned around. The two women stood silently on the bar, not moving at all. Everyone stared as they realized what had happened. When Jordan turned the sword missed Salina's waist, but Salina didn't turn fast enough to escape a dagger that Jordan had hidden. While Jordan was inflicting her wound upon Salina she didn't pay attention to Salina's sword that had pierced straight through her shoulder.
Salina backed up slowly, pulling her sword out of Jordan and grasping her own wound. Salina lay flat on the bar trying to breath. Jack got up and ran over to get Salina but Jordan rolled over into his arms. She wrapped herself in him and gleamed straight over to Salina. Salina got up from the bar and nearly fell as she got off. Gibbs came over to catch her but she pushed him off, and walked toward Jack. "I have only one thing to say to you, and that is I hope you are happy because you'll never see the likes of me again." Salina didn't even tear up, her words became like frozed daggers slicing through Jacks flesh. "Why don't you go back to your beloved James? He'll keep you warm on this god forsaken night!" The women shouted as Salina turned to the bar. "A bottle of rum please." Salina laid three silver coins on the counter. "You know I might just do that."
Salina turned limping a little closer to Jack; her mangled hair hanging at her side. "I might just go back to him. After all he is my fiancé." She could've killed Jack with that statement if it weren't for him being so damn drunk. He turned his face trying not to look at her. But in a sudden burst he thrust his head up and looked her straight in the eyes. "Yes. Go back to him. I didn't give a damn about you anyway. I've got Jordan here to keep me company for the night. So go home to ye fiancé." Jack got in her face and let his breath reek all over her. Salina grabbed the back of his neck and forced him into a kiss. Jordan looked appalled at her. Salina released him, thrusting him backwards. Her blood stained his shirt and sunk through to his skin. "That was for whatever I may have owed you!" Salina turned and walked out of the tavern, leaving Jack standing still and silent within a crowd of people.
When she got outside it began to rain and her dress looked awful. She just kept walking she didn't know where her feet would take her. She came to corner house on a narrow street. It had a light in the window and for some reason seemed familiar to her. Salina walked up the steps to the door, where she knocked lightly trying not to disturb anyone in the vicinity. A man opened the door. He was tall, slender yet muscular. He had waved red hair and a little facial hair. "James?"
"Ye know Will? Why are women like that?" The stumbling captain asked as he and William tried to walk to the tavern. "I don't know Jack, I just don't know." "Thank god you're a man Will."
