Ahoy there maties! Trying to write this quickly along with my other fic that I'm working on.
Here are replies to reviews:
PenguinFlavoredFilm: aye tis the truth me dear! Thanks!!
aLL aMeRIcAn gIRl 50: Thanks!
ThMarauder101: yes Johnny and Orlando are amazing (amazingly hot!), but neither is good enough to be my hero, perhaps lover would be a better occupation......
Agent Blue: You wonderful, wonderful person! Thank you for reminding me of Ann Marie. I'll put something about her in the next chapter perhaps. My other fic I'm still working on and still writing. It just takes longer than usual because it is a choose ur own adventure and I have to write choice chapters, but I'm not giving up on either so fret not, my love!
Danielle: Ahh yes dearie its in this chapter. Thanks!
Urylia: stunned...good...now I can tie you up and....ummm...oh what was it I wanted to say? Ay yes thanks!
Tora: yes interesting ending :-), but I'm trying to avoid drama as best as I can. Not doing a good job at it though cuz Adelei is a cry baby.
maggie: I'll finish it as soon as I can hun but if I finish it now then the fic will be pointless and jack won't get any.
Katie: Cliffhangers are not mean. People who leave cliffhangers for months and then don't return and write more are mean. Yes...the mob is approaching...must....hurry.....
The Infamous Chibi Cat: I love your name!! And its not over..yet!!! Thank you so much!!!!
Jareths Girl-Moro Shapeshifter: awww!!! There needn't be violence over this!! Thanks!
Talking Book: I'm glad you like it! As I said earlier somewhere in the earlier chapters, I'm really bad at first chapters and the summary of the story itself sucks ass. But I'm really glad you like it and I hope you continue to! Thanks!!
Aubrey Lee: I'll try to go in more depth...I'll try. I usually just write what's in my head and sometimes its vague. Personally, I don't like reading stories when you know every single thought of the characters. It seems so restrained and leaves nothing to the imagination ;). I believe actions speak louder than words and things will be expressed...trust me.... Anyways thanks!!!
queenofgondor21: Ahh hopefully this will answer your questions! Thank you!
ACK!: like I said to Katie above, the cliffhangers are not to blame. The people who abuse them are!!
ScarlettArrow: I'm glad I surprised you. Muahahha!! Ahh well here u go hun!

From the previous chapter:
Suddenly Adelei remembered what her father said to her and her sisters one night. She sat there contemplating her actions. Then she got up, took a sword from the wall and drove it through her stomach.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Or at least that's what would have happened if Jack hadn't grabbed the sword away from her.
"Now, now, musn' be doing that now, love," he said, putting the sword back on the wall. "Ave' a seat." He said pointing to the chair on the right side of the bed. She sat down in it quietly and he sat down on the bed and pulled her chair over so that she faced him.
"Now, " Jack said, "you really shouldn' ave done that." She avoided his stare and moved her eyes to the floor. "Ye almost got me sword dirty. Ave' ye no respect for other people's property?" She looked up at him with a confused and almost angry look. "Do ye know where I got that sword?" Jack continued. "I found it in an ol' buccaneer ship. Tis almost as ol' as me."
"Well," said Adelei quietly, brushing hair out her eyes, "Then would ye mind lettin' me borrow another sword that ye wouldn' mind that I use?" Jack raised an eyebrow.
"Ye wants to leave already?" he had an almost hurt look on his face. "But me dear, the fun hasn' started."
"I always heard that when yer on the Black Pearl, yer only escape is death,"she said, almost breathlessly, her gaze falling on the floor again, "Me father told me that if I was to find meself on the same ship as Capn' Jack Sparrow, I was to kill meself for...."
***************FLASHBACK************************************************
"He will show ye no mercy," said her father, Captain Cornelius Filiger as he looked at each of his four daughters. "There be plenty of opportunities to do it, ye jest ave to find the right one."
Each daughter nodded and said , "Aye father."
"But it'll never happen, right papa?" Anna, Adelei's older sister asked, fear in her voice.
"Anythin' can happen...," was her father's answers.
***************************************************************************
A single tear drop rolled down her cheek and she wiped it away. He looked at her suspiciously, stroking his goatee.
"How old are ye, lass?" he asked.
"19 years," she said and shifted uncomfortably in her seat.
"I would like ye to tell me what 'appened," Jack said, lying down on the bed, "Everythin'. From the beginin'."
"An' why should I do what ye say?" she asked, crossing her arms over her chest. Jack suddenly sat up. "Ye don' really wanna find out, do ye?" Adelei swallowed hard and straightened up. Jack lay back down on the bed.
"Well, me an' me sisters were on the deck playin' with some seashells" she said, drawing her legs up on the chair, "when..."
"Playin' with seashells?" Jack interrupted.
"Aye seashells," continued Adelei," An'..."
"Aren' ye a bit ol' to be playin' with seashells?" Jack interrupted again.
"We 'ad a game that we played with em," she said, sounding annoyed.
"As I be sayin', when suddenly there was hollerin' an' a big thunderin' sound," she said, "an' there was..."
"Guns, eh?" Jack interrupted again, "The Johnson has enormous guns, not as big as the Pearl's o' course, but...."
"Would ye like to finish me story?" she asked angrily.
"Sorry, sorry..." he said pressing his hands together and giving her a sad look.
"Anyway, then there be a huge galley firing into the Boa and everyone was runnin' around and screamin' and then the pirates came on board," her voice dropped and sighed deeply, "They...well...they....ye heard what I said out there........An' for some reason, the Capn', Shamerick was 'is name, I believe, grabbed me an' pulled me over an' ordered his men to make me watch....what they were doing....to me sisters... but he ordered them not to hurt me an' they took me on their ship.....an' they sold me to that man, Gaung.... an' I stayed there for a few months..... an' suffered....an' then ye bought me...."
Suddenly Jack turned to his side and leaned on his elbow for support. "Did ye know that yer father's ship was the most hated ship in these waters?" Jack glared. Adelei looked up, a shocked look on her face.
"Well, I don' see why I should be blamed for me father's sins," she said angrily, "An' me father was a good man to 'is family. He loved me and me sisters and we loved 'im."
"Love has nothin' do with bein' a buccaneer,"Jack muttered, falling back onto his back. "Not all men seek rest and peace, some are born with the spirit of the storm in their blood, restless harbingers of violence and bloodshed, knowin' no other path."
Adelei leaned back on the chair and closed her eyes. "Me father said that to me once," she said.
"Very famous pirate saying," Jack said.
Suddenly the chair moved forward. Her eyes shot open.
Jack was sitting up. He reached out and held a long strand of her hair.
"Ye really need to cut yer 'air, love," he said, looking as if he was completely infatuated with the strand.
"Didn' ye promise me some food an' drink?" she asked, breaking his infatuation by pulling the strand out of his grasp. He looked up at her and smirked.
"Aye, but yer comin' with me," he said standing up, "Don' wan't ye touchin' me swords." She glared at him and stood up. He gently pushed her towards the door.
The deck was still filled with men talking and eating. A plate and a goblet of wine were made ready for her and she ate on the floor as everyone sat and watched her. She ate slowly, lady-like, and very focused on what she was doing. Jack had moved to talk with another one of his crew members.
As she drank from the goblet, she looked up to see the face of a very tall man, leaning in towards her from his seat not far to her left. "I hear ye be fresh," he whispered.
"Fresh?" she gave him a strange look. "What do ye mean?" Then it was the man's turn to give her a strange look.
"Meanin' ye ain' done nothin'," he said, in an even softer whisper.
"Well o' course I ain' done nothin'," she said, "What should I be doin'?" The man sat back up on his seat, a bit confused.
"Come on, love," Jack came over and pulled her up from the floor. "Time for bed."
As he said this, he turned around and smiled at his crew while they grinned back.
