---"Jack, what are ye doin'?" I proclaimed with a sigh, "You know we ain't supposed to be headin' west. Tortuga is to the south."
"I'm takin' a little detour, Gallagher," he said, eyes on compass, "We won't be but a few hours."
"Where are ya headin' the ship and crew along with it?"
"The crew isn't here right now, luv, if ya haven't noticed."
I whirled around and noticed the entire ship was abandoned except for Jack and me. "Where did they go?" I cried.
"It's just you and me now, luv," he said huskily and began to lean in to my lips---
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed and awoke instantly, jolting myself upright in my cot. Oh God, it had only been a dream. I shivered a little from the aftershock of it all. Blast it all, he had almost.I cringed and stood up, glancing out the window just as Elizabeth came hurtling in.
"What's wrong, Terrence?" she gasped, looking out of breath.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I just had a bad dream," I replied, still staring out at the ocean.
"Want to talk about it?" she questioned. I didn't answer and she began to stare at her fingernails as if she were studying a map or something. I could tell my lack of response was making her uncomfortable.
"Where are we?" I asked suddenly, "When shall we arrive at Tortuga?"
"We should reach Tortuga by nightfall," Elizabeth said with a smile, "Are you excited?"
"I haven't been there in years," I admitted, "I want to see if it has changed or not."
"Most unlikely," Elizabeth smirked, "It holds home to some of the most interesting scallywags and scoundrels this side of the equator."
"My kind o' place," I replied, eyes gleaming, "I like it."
"Get dressed, quickly, darling!" Elizabeth said, "Jack wants you up on deck." At the mention of his name I couldn't help but cringe again. "Are you sure you don't want to talk about it?" she asked quietly.
" 'Ell no," I replied more quickly, "Thank ya. I shall get dressed now." Elizabeth studied me for an instant then took off back upstairs.
I shielded my eyes as I walked out on deck, the sun momentarily blinding me. The crew was already mopping the deck and bustling about. Jack was at the helm, staring at his compass then snapping it shut. He glanced at the ocean in front of us and grinned to himself. I knew he was probably about as excited as I was to get to Tortuga. Will was handling some ropes when he walked up to me and asked, "Nice day for sea travel, isn't it?"
"Now ya bein' all friendly to me, Will?" I scoffed, "I'm surprised."
"Maybe we should put the blasted past behind us," he suggested, raising an eyebrow at my sarcasm.
"Yes, maybe we should forget how I beat ya fair an' square in a fight," I replied with a grin.
"Now see here," he said angrily, advancing on me but Sparrow had walked over and took a step between us.
"Get back to work, Will. I'll handle the hellcat," he said, his eyes on me.
"Yes, get back to work, Will," I said sweetly, and Will was muttering a string of curses as he walked off to work on the ropes again.
"You best be not getting' on Will Turner's nerves," Jack informed me, eyes still cutting into mine, "Because the lad is young and doesn't know of patience yet. He'll challenge you faster than you can bat your pretty eyelashes."
"I can take him," I retaliated, "You don't need to shelter me, Jack. I've survived on the streets for years." Jack began to walk away but he turned around to add something to his speech.
"Actually luv," he remarked with a grin, "I wasn't shelterin' you from Will. It was quite the opposite, really. I know you are fully capable of sticking your dagger through the whelp's throat." He tipped his hat at me and went on his way
