Chapter 34:
A/N: Sorry the last chapter was so boring, this one will be better, I promise. So what are you waiting for, go on and read it! Disclaimer: See last chapter.
Jack awoke the next morning; he stretched out and then realized he was lying in water. His cloths were completely soaked and his back was stiff. "Bloody ell'!" Jack sat up and rubbed his face. He noticed all of his crew still asleep.
"Jack! Jack?"
"Christ Gibbs! Can you give it a rest?" Jack turned to Gibbs's cell but he was passed out. Jack gave that same puzzling look and scratched his head.
"Over here, Jack. I swear you're as thick as a coconut!"
"Salina?" Jack rubbed his eyes to make sure they weren't playing tricks on him. "Why are you wearing a dress?"
"Just shut up and come here." Jack crawled over to the cell door.
"Yeah, you look awfully nice in that dress." Jack licked his lips as he peered down as her chest. Salina put her hand through the bars and tilted his chin up.
"Not the right time, Jack. Now listen. I can't get you guys out right now. I have to wait until later today, just before we ship off."
"Ship off? You mean we haven't already?"
"No."
"Well, why not?"
"I needed a doctor." Jack's eyes widen and he was about to ask why but Salina interrupted him. "Listen I can't stay any longer, I'll talk with you later about that." Salina stood up and walked out of the brig.
Salina stepped out into the hallway and slowly shut the door. James appeared at the other end of the hallway. He stood at the bottom of the stairs. "Salina? What are you doing?"
"Nothing, I was just taking a tour of the ship. I thought it would be nice to get to know the ship." 'Oh, great one Salina. Getting to know a ship. Yeah, he won't think you're crazy after that one.'
"Oh." The brig door creaked open a little and Salina quickly lammed it shut by leaning back on it. "Well, your uncle and I were wondering if you would like to have tea with us?" Salina stepped away from the door and smiled idiotically.
"Sure." She walked to James and bit her lip. 'That was close.'
Most of the crew woke up from the slamming of the door. "What was that?" Gibbs asked rhetorically.
"Salina." Jack muttered.
"Salina?" Gibbs eyes wondered from Jack to the door and back to Jack. His head hung and he peered down at his nails. "She's not dead yet?" Jack's eyes flew up and looked like they could've sliced through Gibbs's skin. He put his hands up in deffence.
"Meant no harm by it Cap'in."
"No, they got a doctor for her."
"I thought they wanted her dead."
"So did I. But, apparently they would rather her live a married life, with money and power. Instead of dying a sinner."
"Married? That guy, James?"
"Aye, James."
"Well, what is she going to do about it?"
"She's going to set us free, take us back to the Pearl." Jack spoke in an almost complete whisper.
"What of herself?"
"She's going to stay. So they won't come after us. At least I think that's what she's doing." Gibbs sighed and leaned against the cell door.
"She's a tough lass, she'll last. Have no fear, Jack. She'll live."
"I know, but that's what I'm afraid of. Her living with him."
"Please sit." The governor placed his hand on the chair next to him.
"Thank you, Uncle." Salina sat in the chair, her dress ruffled as she sat. It was a beautiful pink satin dress with little roses draped down the side of the dress. Salina thought it too frilly.
"Now, let us talk of the last two weeks." Her uncle sat a napkin in his lap and smiled cheerfully. She new that smile, he was trying to find yet another reason to hang Jack.
"Well, if you must know. It was exciting."
"Exciting!" James sneered. "What about a pirate is there to be exciting? They're merely thieves, no excitement there."
"If you merely glimpse at them that is what you would see. But, if you get to know them." Her uncle cut her off.
"What do you mean get to know them? You were kidnapped by them, not befriending them." Her uncle reached for a cookie.
"Aye, I was 'kidnapped' as you put it, but they are the same as everyone else. You've got to believe me on this."
"It's that Sparrow isn't it? He's the one that's got you under control, you're under his control now, aren't you?" James sat his tea down and glared at Salina who became uncomfortable with his stare.
"I wish you wouldn't stare at me like that. I am not under his control."
"Then why protect him?"
"Protection? You think I am protecting him? If I was protecting him why was I trying to kill him yesterday?"
Her uncle looked at James as to say, 'she has a point.' "Well I don't' know. All I know is that I saw you by the brig this morning and I was curious if it was because of him."
Her uncle's eyes flared as she spoke. "Well if you must know, it was because of him." Governor Swann's mouth dropped. "I went down there to yell at him and to tell him that I was happy that he was going to hang, because he could not control me anymore. Yes I was under his control, but thanks to my Uncle I was able to break free."
The Governor gave a sigh of relief and smiled to James. "I'm glad to hear that my niece is happy to be back. Now let's drop the subject and just enjoy this tea before it becomes cold." Salina agreed and then let a small smile escape, she was pleased that she could fool her uncle.
When tea was finished she walked to the side of the ship and looked over in awe at the Pearl. Salina's hair was pulled back in a bow and her dress ruffled in the wind. James walked up next to her.
"I must say that ship is extraordinary." He smiled as he too looked at the gigantic ship. "That's the only thing I'm jealous of Sparrow about. It's too bad that the ship will be burnt to a crisp by tonight." Salina's eyes widened and she peered up to Jaqmes.
She took a gulp and then spoke weakly. "They're going to burn the ship?"
"Yes."
"Well, wouldn't it be better to-."
"To what?"
"To leave it." Salina said with the utter most confidence.
"What?"
"We'll leave it for other pirates to tear apart or to steal it. We won't let that crew have the satisfaction of knowing that their ship lays beneath the sea. Instead they will have to deal with the fact everyday, that their ship was torn apart by their own kind." Salina grinned evilly and then turned to the ship.
"Man, you're are evil." James chuckled as he turned back to the ship. "I'll tell my brother of that, I'm sure he'll agree to it." Salina smiled.
'Just as long as the Pearl can live one day longer, everything will be fine.' Salina gripped the side of the ship as she thought about Jack and his, their ship.
A/N: How's that, yes yet another cliffhanger. I'm sorry, I just happen to be really good at them. Anyway I have decided to change Salina's age to 17, so just disregard any of the other chapter's that say any different. Okay? All righty then, well I have to go, so please keep R/R- ing! Thanks!
