Chapter 20:
A/N: This should turn out to be an interesting chapter.interesting in deed.*devious grin* Disclaimer: No, I really don't own POTC. just my characters and the plot.
Captain Mina escorted Salina into her cabin and removed the ropes from her wrists. "You may sit." The women said, pointing to a royal looking sofa. Salina walked over to it and sat. Mina sat behind an oak desck writing furiously on some pieces of parchment, probably a logbook or at least the makings of one.
"I'm sorry my dear. You must be awfully cold in that.err. gown." Mina got up and walked to her closet. The women had changed since the time they were on the beach till now. She seemed nicer and had more patience. "I'll get you a dress."
Mina shuffled through her closet to get one, but mostly found white shirts and black pants. Salina got up and walked over to the closet. "No need to find a dress, pants will do. I feel much more comfortable in them anyway." Salina whispered to the women as she smiled radiantly at her. Mina nodded and walked back to her desk.
Salina pulled down the shirt and pants; she grabbed a pair of boots while she was at it. She changed in the center of the room, fumbling to get the damp dress off. When Salina had changed Mina looked up and smiled at her. "I've herd you've had quite the adventure lately." Mina started to say as she walked over to Salina.
"If ye think it's fit to call an adventure. I call it a new beginning." Salina smirked as she sat back down on the sofa. Mina walked over and closed the door to her closet.
"Yer must've caused quite a commotion in Port Royal because the British Navy has been after you for a couple days now." Mina plopped back down in her chair; she kicked her legs up on the desk and leaned back. "I heard ye killed a women."
Salina closed her eyes for a moment and began to speak. "Aye, I did. Her name was Jordan, twas a whore." Salina said with a sigh, her heart became heavy again.
"I suppose she was with yer cap'in, eh?" Salina's eyes flew open when she heard Mina's comment. "I suppose I was right." Salina let out another sigh.
"Might I ask how ye know Jack or at least how that man did?" Salina leaned back on the couch and looked out the window to the sky.
"Well, Jack was doin' business with my husband Seth. They used to pirate together, you see Seth was his mentor, if ye can call a pirate that." Mina smiled and looked out the window as well. "One day Jack sailed on his own and took half of the treasure we had worked so hard to find. That's why Seth was lookin' fer him. I didn't really care. Treasure is treasure the way I figure it." Mina laughed. "But I guess we don't have to worry about it anymore seems how they're both dead."
She sighed as she leaned up against the windowsill. "Do ye like the stars Salina?" Salina nodded getting up to stand next to the women. "Well, as long as the stars stay up in the sky you always have a rout of escape." Salina turned to Mina.
"My mother used to tell me that, and stories of pirates. She loved adventure, but could never escape my father until her last day on this earth." Salina turned back to the window.
Mina backed away. "You may sleep in here tonight if ye wish." She then vacated the room, looking back at the confused girl.
Meanwhile Jack went back to his ship and had Gibbs and Will come with him to retrieve Salina. "Now lets see we're going to go aboard the ship and distract the crew while ye 'save' Salina?" Gibbs questioned.
"Aye, that's the plan." Gibbs and Will turned to each other ans sighed.
"What's to say Salina hasn't escaped yet, I mean she's a pretty good fighter." Will said trying to get out of the situation anyway that he could. It seemed that Jack was the only one who really wanted to go through the trouble to get Salina back.
"Ye's a bunch o' cowards, I should've never asked ye te come." Jack turned as though to walk away, but was stopped by Gibbs pulling him into the water.
"Now hold it right there, mate. Yer not the only one who cares about her well being." Jack coughed up water a few times before responding.
"I'm glad te know that." The men laughed and then were on their way.
*~*~*~*~*~*
Salina lay on a red velvet bed peering out at the darkened sky. 'Why do I care fer Jack? That's easy he makes me feel free and let's me be myself. He has a great sense of humor too. But why do I really care fer him?' Salina thought deeply to herself. She remembered back to when they first met. The day her father died, she swore she would kill Jack. But that had all changed now, her feelings had changed. Mina running into the room interrupted her thoughts of love.
"Mina? What's going on?" Mina turned and faced Salina; her head right along her hairline was bleeding. "Mina, yer bleeding!" Salina jumped off of the bed to help her new friend.
"We're being attacked. The ship next to us is firing their canons." Mina fell onto the floor at the end of the bed.
"Mina, stay right here I'll be back in a minute." Salina got up and slowly opened the door to see men fighting, swords clashing and guns firing. Salina walked out as she saw Barbossa leading the crew of the Pearl on to the ship. 'Oh, God. Please no.'
The ship shook as a canon was fired into it. Salina fell onto the wood, but as soon as she fell she got up. There was a loud noise from inside the cabin. "Mina!" Salina ran back into the room. When she opened the door she noticed the window had been broken and Jack was fighting with Mina.
"Where's Salina?" He yelled as he slammed his sword into hers. Salina shouted as loud as she could for them to stop, but they could not hear her, so she joined in. "Jack you fuckin' asshole!" She yelled right into his ear. "Yer always marching in at the wrong moment!"
"Who me? And what are ye doin fighting me for? She's the one who kidnapped you!" Jack continued to duel both of the women.
"Jack this probably isn't the greatest moment to say this, but Mina is my mother!" Jack stopped dead in his tracks.
"What?" His eyes nearly bulged out of his head. Salina dropped the sword she found.
"Aye, ye heard me right. Willamina Doubou, that twas my mothers name. I knew she never died; she finally broke free of my father and found a man that allowed her to be free. Much like I did." Salina turned to Mina who was happy that her daughter remembered her. Salina reached out and hugged the women.
"Jack ye see the reason I wasn't always around when Seth would teach ye is because I would look fer Salina. I missed her dearly, but I couldn't go back. Salina, Edward Doubou is not yer real father." Salina looked up at her mother.
"Ye see Edward was a young Governor and he met me once. Our meeting was not under the greatest circumstances, I was in jail and he came by that day for inspection. He saw me in the cell, I was pregnant with ye then and Edward had sympathy for me, he told me I could live with him and become his wife or I could die in the morning like the rest of the criminals. I figured the best thing fer me was to keep you alive so I married him."
"Who's my real father?"
"Seth."
"Oh, great. I'm going fer a record aint I Jack? Killing not just one father, but both." Salina turned as a tear ran down her face.
"Well if ye don't mind me sayin' our men are still fighten each other." Jack said, pointing out the door. "I don't plan te keep them fighten fer nothin'. So I'll be stoppin' them now." Salina nodded and held her mother one more time.
A man slipped into the room, the metallic metal shinned in Mina's eyes. "I love ye Salina and don't ferget you can always escape."
"Mum?" Salina turned her head a little and was quickly pulled out of the way. Salina screamed as she watched the man sent to kill her attacked his captain. "Mother!" The men outside stopped and peered into the cabin, confused to her their captain being called mother.
Mina's body fell slowly to the floor; the cold sword pulled out of her body smoothly. Her red hair flew in the air as she fell back. Salina ran to her side as she lay there dieing. It was a long night filled with crying and questions and cursing.
The next morning, as the Midnight Star floated away from the island, Salina stood on the peer remembering the last words her mother uttered. 'Remember the stars.'
