Chapter 3
The tavern Cassie found was smaller than the other one, and at the far side
of the town, by the church. Because of its location, there were fewer
drunkards around, and to Cassie's surprise, it was cheaper.apparently most
people liked the rowdy places better. She had a great nights sleep and was
ready to go to the docks, looking for a ship.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cassie awoke in the early hours of the morning to the sounds of drunken
yelling, and after that could not get back to sleep. She only had five
doubloons left, so she skipped breakfast when she set out at near enough
seven o'clock in the morning, by then the silver moon was fading away
between the shafts of sunlight, suddenly she heard a shout
"That's 'er!" and then she felt two pairs of strong arms grab her from
behind, rendering her unable to fight "'ello lovy" came a voice in her ear,
and to her horror, the man who she had slapped yesterday appeared
"Get away from me" she said firmly, but her voice was laced with fear
"No" the man said silkily "I think you owe me a little kiss" he lent
forwards and was about to kiss her, but she decided to spit in his face. He
wiped the spit of himself angrily "why you stupid wench!" he said
murderously, he then slapped her, hard. "I'm going to show you a good time,
I know sluts like you like my." he didn't get to finish because at that
moment Cassie had got one of her legs free and kicked him as hard as she
could in the nuts, the people holding her threw her to the ground
"Shouldn't hit 'im" one of them said and hit her in the face
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~****~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The crew of the black pearl set out at daybreak
"Were to cap'in?" one of them said to Jack
"I'm going to pay a visit to old Will" Jack said showing his usual drunken
grin "'e should be well married now, hell ole' Lizabeth'll be up the duff
by now n'all.. unless" Jack broke into a grin that was full of glee "he
really is a eunuch"
He took a swig out of a leather bottle "in fact, I think I'll go get 'em a
little wedding present ." he left the crew some orders and made his way to
the far side of town, and heard the sound of a fight, making him grin
further, that is until he saw the fight.
What he saw first was one of his card rivals Bennie Brooks and two of his
cronies hitting someone
" I think she's unconscious," one of them said to a grinning Bennie
"Good" he replied nastily " I did promise to show 'er a good time after
all."
"Ben!" Jack shouted to him " the only way people can 'ave a good time when
you're around, is if you wear a mask" he said mater-of-factly and walked
over
"Why if it isn't 'captain' Jack Sparrow" Bennie said smirking "I thought
you were meant to be leaving today.perhaps this crew left yer as well"
Jack looked at him
"If that were the case, why would said crew leave me on an island full of
beautiful women and ale?"
Ben looked confused for a moment
"Stay outta this Jack," he said to him warningly after a moment of
confusion "'tis naught to do with you"
"Well you would be right, 'cept 'cording to the code, any man who meddles
with a prudent women without her consent shall suffer present death" Jack
looked at him with amused accusation
"Well I'm not a pirate" Ben said grinning
"Ah, but the same goes for watching it. Savvy?" Jack grinned and pulled out
his sword, just as Ben did the same, though before Ben reacted, Jack, with
one slash of his sword cut Bens belt cleanly through the middle, making his
pants fall down in a heap on the floor
"Bennie" Jack said frowning "you really should wear underwear"
He watched Ben pull his pants up and run away, his two goofs ran after him,
only then did Jack look to see who he saved, and was mildly surprised to
see the girl from the tavern yesterday, though she was barely recognisable
now due to the fact that huge purple bruises covered her face
'I can't leave her like this!' thought Jack to himself, so without haste he
started to pick her pocket
"Leave it!" came a strained voice, making Jack jump
"Cor' blimey women" he said with a squinty eye "give me an 'eart attack
then"
She coughed and tried to sit up
"Its you!" she exclaimed unnecessarily, when she saw Jack
"Is it?" he said looking down at himself "so it is" he said grinning
"Where's those guys gone?" she asked, getting over herself and staring hard
at Jack
"Out buying a new belt I 'spect" Jack said shrugging, and still grinning
like a mad man
"Did you save me?" Cassie asked shocked
"Nah, I was just keeping to the code," Jack answered "I suppose I deserve a
reward for doing so," Jack said, hinting hopefully
Cassie raised an eyebrow, then angrily tossed him a doubloon
"ta love" Jack said flashing his gold capped teeth
" You really are despicable" Cassie said with disgust
"Thanks love, the best pirates are despicable" he stood up "and captain
Jack Sparrow is the best"
Cassie raised her eyebrows at this "it looks like your modest about it to"
"Modesty doesn't get yer women" Jack retorted to this "well I'll be seeing
yer miss, I've got a boat ter sail" he started to walk away but Cassie
stood up painfully
"Were are you going?" she asked wincing
"Port royal.got a friend there"
"Can I come with you?"

What does ye think? R/R of course!
I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to review so far and
thank you to Tetra and Lucky Stars for kindly telling me that the fact
about alcohol in my last chapter is true.
I might not write another chapter in a while though because I was watching
sleepy hollow last night and an idea came to me *grins and cackles evilly*
Toodle pipski for now!!
