I still don't own a damn thing, besides this story, and the extra characters in it that don't belong to the movie. . .if only I owned Jack Sparrow. . .

Chapter Seven

Captain Jack Sparrow had ordered his crew up on deck to fight, and had witnessed the situation unfolding with the three teenagers.
He hadn't noticed it until the two pirates had a hold of Kelsey and Julie, since he had been too busy giving his crew orders. Once he had taken notice of it, he had run over as fast as he could, but not before the two pirates had taken Kelsey and Julie over to their ship. He saw the pirate approaching Ariana from behind and had sped up, not ready to let her be harmed. When the pirate had knocked her unconscious and she fell overboard, he quickly pulled out his sword and impaled the man as violently as he was able before he could have a chance to fight. Then he dove in after her.
He knew she would already be sinking, since she was not cognizant, so he searched underwater, straining his eyes as he spun around in circles, finally finding her about six or seven feet under, still descending. She looked like a doll that had been thrown into the water, her hair spread out all around her. He reached out and grabbed her around the waist, holding her close to him as he kicked back up to the surface.
They both popped up out of the water and he swam over to the side of the ship with her. His crew had let down a rope for him when he had jumped in, and now he climbed up with her slung over his shoulder, which was not an easy feat.
Once he reached the top minutes later, he lay her down on the deck gently and began to press down on her stomach, trying to extract the water from her lungs.

On The Fearless. . .

The two pirated carried Kelsey and Julie to Captain Shallows, who was looking very satisfied. The two girls, on the other hand, looked ready to be sick; these pirates obviously did not care much for cleanliness.
"We got two of 'em, cap'n," the pirate holding Kelsey told him.
"Very good, very good," he replied, nodding.
"Wha' abou' the otha one?" Julie's captor questioned.
"We don' need all t'ree of 'em. Remember, we only need blood from ONE child. So two's even be'er." He grinned. "And besides, she'll be wantin' ta save 'er li'le friends, so she's gonna be comin' ta us anyways."
"Well uh – can we 'ave 'em 'till we get ta the cave?" the pirate holding Kelsey asked.
"Oh, by all means, go ahead. Doesn' ma'er ta me."
The two crewmembers smirked widely as The Fearless began to sail away from the Black Pearl, having gotten what it came for.

Back on the Black Pearl. . .

Jack had managed to remove all the water from her lungs, and now she was breathing normally, but she was still unconscious. He had lain her down on the bed in his quarters, waiting for her to come to. Now he was standing in the doorway, gazing at her.
In his opinion she looked vastly delightful wet; her clothes clung to her lovely figure, and her damp hair hung down around her face, which made her even more attractive. But he particularly enjoyed that her clothing stuck to her, causing her stomach and chest to be further defined. He surveyed her for a few more minutes, afterwards taking a chair and sitting down by the bed, wishing to view her close-up. Her skin wasn't immaculate, but it was fair, and so were her eyebrows, and her lips. . .he yearned to kiss those lips. . .but did he really want to take advantage of her? Part of him did; but a bigger part of him didn't. But who knew, maybe she wanted the same thing he did. She hadn't been rude to him, or given him any reason to think that she disliked him in the slightest. And she was so beautiful. . .one little kiss couldn't hurt. . . He slowly leaned down towards her face, growing closer and closer, and soon he was but an inch from her mouth, and he could feel her warm breath escaping her slightly parted lips. . .but then he immediately drew back when she began to stir. She opened her eyes and blinked a few times, adjusting, and turned to look at him. He was watching over her. . .she just wanted him to remain where he sat so she could stare at him forever. . .but she knew that she couldn't. She had questions that needed answers.
"What happened?" she asked him after a few seconds of silence.
"Pirate from The Fearless knocked you unconscious, love. You fell ovaboa'd."
"And you rescued me?"
"Afta killing the son of a bitch, yes." His eyes didn't have the slightest trace of anger or hate within them as he looked at her.
He had saved her life. He could've just let her drown, it would've been simple enough; but he hadn't. He had murdered for her, and rescued her from death – and he barely knew her. That must've meant he really care for her, didn't it? She hoped it did. Inside she was celebrating; screaming for joy. Outside, she was calm and trying to hid the enormous smile that was welling up inside her. "Why didn't you just let me die? Not that I'm ungrateful or anything."
He didn't answer immediately, and it was some time before he replied. "Because I didn't want you to die." He said it in such a gentle voice that it shocked her, and his eyes seemed to bore right into her mind.
"Well – thank you." It was all she could say.
"Your welcome, love." He was about to rise, then seemed to remember something. "Are we ta go afta your friends?"
She sat up instantaneously, an anxious look on her face. She had forgotten all about Kelsey and Julie. They had been taken! "Oh my God! I completely forgot! Yes, we have to go after them! We have to find them, get them back before they reach the cave!" She was fully awake and alert now.
He gave her a questioning look. "Uh, what cave?" Obviously he knew nothing of what Shallows had found, which only slightly surprised her.
"The cave! The cave that Captain Shallows told us about! We need to find them before he gets there!" She sounded frantic.
"Well, if you don't mind me asking, why exactly do we need to do this?" What did a cave have to do with anything?
"Because he needs blood from a child of another world and that's why he took Kelsey and Julie, for their blood! He would've taken me too, if it wasn't for you!"
There was absolute confusion on his face. "Slow down there, love. You lost me. Did you say 'otha wo'ld'?"
She realized what had slipped out. "Uh. . .yeah." 'Great. I've now succeeded in totally fucking everything up,' she thought. 'I'm such a moron!' She wanted to smack herself; she hadn't wanted to explain all this.
His eyebrows rose in surprise, but he said nothing. She knew she would have to tell him everything now.
"Ya see. . .we're kind of. . .from another world." She found it hard to get the words out; she wanted to tell him the truth, but at the same time, she didn't want him to know anything because she had no idea as to what the consequences of that could be.
"Yes, I got that part already."
"Well. . .in our world, this world is a movie." She spoke slowly. "And the captain of The Fearless sucked us into it. Well, actually, he used a medallion that he found at the cave."
Jack looked as though she had just told him that pigs were flying. It was a while before he spoke. "So. . .let me see if I undastand you correctly. . ." He was looking down. "You're from anotha wo'ld. Your friends are from anotha wo'ld. And – you got pulled into THIS wo'ld by a medallion that is in Captain Shallows' possession?" He looked up at her.
"Yeah. . ." She was surprised that he hadn't asked what a movie was; she had been expecting him to. Maybe he was just too shocked to ask. "That's why we didn't tell you where we were from, and why you've never seen our clothing before."
The expression on his face now told her that he was debating whether to believe her or not. "Well. . ." he said after a very long pause, ". . .you're right, that would explain your interesting clothing. . .but. . .is that even possible?" His deep brown eyes were questioning.
"Apparently it is." She brushed some of her wet hair back from her face, tucking it behind her ear.
"Yes, apparently. . ." He seemed deep in thought. "And you said he wants you for your blood?"
"Yeah, he said it opens the cave."
"So we have ta go save your friends now?"
"Yes! And we need to hurry! I don't know how much time we have, or how far away he is!"
"All right, all right, calm down, love. . .we'll get him, don't worry. . ." He seemed far away, and she knew he was deep in thought about the new information he had received. He stood, but as he was about to leave, she grabbed his arm. He looked down at her.
"Why do you believe me?" she asked.
"Oh trust me, love. . .after what I've seen, I'll believe almost anything." He raised his eyebrows and grinned, then left the cabin, closing the door behind him.
But she didn't want him to leave; she wanted him to stay with her. . .

A/N: So did I do a good job with the whole Jack finding out where they're from thing? I hope I did. Reviews, please!
