Author's note and replies at the end!!
****************************************************************************
Captain Shamerick was a rather large fellow who stood on a peg leg which was slightly too long and made him lean over a bit. He was also tall and his aged skin hung slightly off his face, leather-like.
Jack pressed his hands together and smiled, some of his gold teeth flashing.
"I knew yewd be comin' back for it," Jack said. Adelei looked up, horrified.
"An' 'ere it is!"he said, pulling out a dirty blue bandana from his dresser drawer and handing it to him, "I know, I know, it's a bit dirty and I promised I'd give it back god knows when, but it's not torn or nothin'. Look at the stichin'..." But Jack was interrupted.
"I was talkin' 'bout the girl," Shamerick said and Jack put down the bandana..
"Oh,"said Jack, looking from Adelei to the large man. "This girl." Jack pointed both index fingers at her.
"Aye, that girl"said Shamerick, nodding his head and leaning against the wall patiently.
"This....heh...ye think this is a girl? "Jack asked pointing to Adelei again, who looked a bit confused. "This is no girl, Shamerick. This is......a.....man!" Adelei's mouth dropped open and Shamerick chuckled.
"Thas no man!" he laughed.
"She is a man," said Jack. "I mean he...he is a man. As manly a man as can be."
"Then why is this man wearin' a bodice?"asked Shamerick, "An' why does he have breasts? An' long 'air? Eh? I'd like to hear yer excuses for that!"
"Well," began Jack, "She..he is wearin' a bodice because it is quite comfortable to hold a good number o' swords in an' he has breasts..well those are not breasts...they be gunpowder sacks an' he has long 'air so he can choke anyone who be botherin' 'er.....'im." Shamerick was holding his stomach and laughing hard and loud. His crew was still fighting Jack's.
"Gunpowder sacks!" exploded Shamerick, his face red with laughter. Jack started laughing too and nodding his head. "Aye," Jack said. Adelei, however, looked a bit annoyed at the situation and did not appreciate being called a man or have her breasts referred to as gunpowder sacks, even if this may save her life.
"Ah, Jack, yer a good man," Shamerick's laughter was dying down and then he stopped fully, "But I want what's mine an' I told ye I'd save the youngest. I kept me promise, but now I be wantin' her back so I'll jest be takin' her an' be gone." He reached out a grimy, fat-fingered hand for her but his hand was stopped short by a blade against Adelei's throat.
"Now, Jack," sighed Shamerick, "She ain't no use to no one if she dies."
"True, but ye can't have 'er if she be dead," Jack said, ignoring Adelei's protests.
"Well neither can ye!" said Shamerick drawing his sword, but Jack countered it with a loud *chink* as their swords met. Adelei sighed in relief as the sword was taken away from her neck and she quickly moved away from the battle.
"Jack put yer sword down!" said Shamerick, a bored expression on his face.
"Put yers down first," Jack said, not moving.
"Fine," and Shamerick and withdrew his sword and so did Jack. "Lemme buy 'er from ye."
"What will ye be givin' me?"Jack asked. Adelei gasped. 'Surely he wouldn'!' she thought to herself, "I don' wanna be sold again!"
"How much gold ye be wantin'?"Shamerick smiled.
"I can get gold anywhere, mate,"Jack said, leaning back against the wall, "Ye got anythin' better?"
"I'll give ye all the booty on me ship," Shamerick said.
"Why is she so important to ye?"Jack asked, tugging at the braids on his chin.
Pulling Jack aside, Shamerick said quietly,"She knows things, important things. Ye see, we took all the booty that was on the Boa, but there wasn' as much as I expected. The booty that we took wasn' the amount o' what years an' years o' plunderin's worth. 'Twas more like days. That means that he put the rest somewhere else...somewhere secret....and I know for a fact that she knows where. " They both turned to look at her and she looked back at them, her expression worried. They leaned back into their huddle.
"I don' think she knows," Jack said and then told him about her dress.
"Yer men sew?"Shamerick raised an eyebrow.
"Thas besides the point!" exclaimed Jack. "Filiger hid his treasure somewhere an' even he's not foolish enough to tell his offspring. The treasure'll be found when it'll be found. No sense in chasin' after somethin' that ye don' even know exists. So, I'll be keepin' er for now savvy?" Jack moved out of the huddle and walked to the window to where Adelei sat, crouching on a chair in the corner of the room. Suddenly Jack was pulled back and Shamerick moved his face up to Adelei's.
"Now, girl, I know ye knows o' where the rest of yer father's treasure be,"Shamerick growled. "So ye'll be tellin' me, now or I'll slice yer throat!" And with those last words he withdrew a knife.
Adelei's eyes moved to Jack, who seemed lost in his own thoughts and stared out the window, singing softly, "nanannanna.....an' really bad eggs....,".
"Well!?"spat Shamerick. Suddenly, as if brought back to reality, Adelei felt extreme anger and sadness. And as she glared at the man who ruined her life, all the hate, anger, and pain that he made her feel surged up inside of her.
"I'll be tellin' ye nothin, ye scurvy dog!" yelled Adelei, "You ruined my bloody life and now you expect me to tell you where my father's treasure is!? You're dumber than you look!" Adelei hadn't realized that she lapsed into a full british accent. She breathed in and out deeply.
"Ye tell 'im, love," said Jack. Adelei's fierce gaze turned to him.
"An' you!" she screamed, "All you are is a pathetic swab who can't get a woman so he buys a girl! Aye, ye must be very proud of yerself, Capn' Jack Sparrow! An' another thing....!" By this time, Shamerick's blade was nowwhere near her throat and he was standing a few feet away from her as she yelled and cursed at both of them.
When she had calmed down, Shamerick asked quietly, "So I take it that be a no?" Adelei shot him a malicious look. Jack stood there staring at her and then leaned to Shamerick's side and whispered, "I changed me mind mate, she knows." Shamerick had a relieved look on his face and then turned to Adelei and then turned back to Jack.
"She be a bit frightenin' when she's angry," he whispered to Jack, but Jack merely smiled.
"How 'bout we make a deal, love,"Jack said, striding towards her.
"Oooooh no," Adelei smirked, "I am not so easily tricked, Capn' Jack Sparrow! I won' be makin' no sort o' deals with ye!"
"Even ones that include yer freedom an' some o' yer papa's treasure?" Jack asked.
"I 'ave me father's treasures and jest 'cause I can't get to it doesn' mean.....," her voice trailed off as she realized what she said. "I mean...I mean..that is to say if I knew where it was....which I most certainly do not...."
"This be yer last chance, girl, "Shamerick stepped up, "Take it or leave it. Ye can 'ave yer freedom an' some o' yer father's treasure or ye'll 'ave nothin' and continue to be the ship wench. If I be ye, I'd take it!"
"Well yer not me, are ye?" hissed Adelei.
"That be a no?" Jack's eyes seemed to dig into her.
"Yes!" Adelei cried and then paused," Well no...." Jack raised an eyebrow. "I-I don' know."

A/N: TADA!!!! Here it be, maties! Thanks to Autumn Xavier for giving me the idea of bringing Shamerick into the story! I'm glad most of you guys liked the last chapter!! I was a bit worried about the reaction to it, but it wasn't that bad (I expected a flogging). I'm glad you guys are liking it!! Thank you!! And sorry its so short.
Replies:
Smidget: I'm glad you like the story! ;-) Sorry the pirate talk annoys you. I tried to die it down a little in this chapter, but just a little. Thanks!
Black Morgan Rackham: hehe I agree. I too would be all over Jack, but I probably couldn't move like she can considering I can't run very fast and people twice my weight can run faster than me which is quite sad....Yes anyways Thanks!
Ocean Rain: lol thank you so much!! I'm so glad that you like it, but now I'm scared of disappointing you.....hehe I noticed everyone always says "man if I was her I'd do him in an instant" lol and I love that!! Um yes Thanks!!
Chayter (Blue Wolftin): unexpected eh? ;-) Did I surprise you, excite you? Did I send shivers down your spine? Did I....err ok thats enough. Thanks!
Caffeine: OMG!!! Holy poo! I cannot believe this!! That was the longest review I have ever gotten! I mean damn! When I opened my mailbox, my mouth was hanging open and I was like gosh darn! I am sooo happy!! You have made me soo happy!! I mean, it was sooo long and even though it talked about random things sometimes it was still soo awesome!! I mean...wow! Thank you so much for that!!! I appreciate it soo much. Anyways, I'm not putting will or liz into the story because..well..they just don't fit into this particular fic. It would just be awkward and weird having them there and they'd be just standing around in the background, chastising Jack while he was being naughty. Hockey puck paperweights are not very tasty, I must admit (although the cherry flavored ones really get me going). Llamas however, are another story. After being properly digested by your llama I will come after you and feed you to my pet lawnmower, Choppy. :-D Llamas have been known to eat many things and I doubt large hockey puck paperweights are an exception so yes, I think a llama would eat one. Lol no need to bribe me darling cuz really, if I had the real thing, you really think I'd be sitting here writing this story? :) Thanks for the review!! I enjoyed it sooo much!! Thanks!
Nightingale 16: Continue quickly eh? I'm still waiting for YOUR story!! And thank you for the compliment on my dialogue, but really, yours is really good too!!Thank you and I can't wait for your another chapter of your story!
Red Kat 9: I'm glad you like the fact that I make Jack the bad, naughty pirate that he is. Thanks!!
Anyanka2: Errrr...I truthfully don't really know how Jack and Adelei will end up. I don't even know what I'm doing for the next chapter! Sad, I know, but I'm hoping it won't end too early. Thanks!
Adema172003: Thank you so much! See, its people like you who make me happy writing fan fic! And I totally agree, I wouldn't struggle either! Thanks!
Marie the Black Rose: hmm yours? You don't happen to work for Disney do you? Good, because if you must know, Jack Sparrow is sitting in a nice little cage and being used for my own devious purposes. *sigh* I'm being pathetic. I'm going to stop now. Thanks for reviewing!
ACK!: Was it consent or not? You know, I really don't know. And of course you're thinking "You moron, you're the author of the bloody story!" but really I just don't know. I'm going to do something about it in later chapters so it doesn't turn into a Luke and Lea scenario because yea that would be dumb. I'm not trying to steer the story to a particular direction. I'm just kind of letting it drift on its own, you know? I love that you ask about the story and sorry that I can't provide proper answers! Thank you!!
Pirate lass: Thank you so much and I'd like to give a big middle finger to my English teachers!
Tiger6: hehe I was sorry because I kept thinking that I would offend somebody but everyone really liked it so I am happy!! And no worries, love, I'm not killing Jack in this fic, but I curse anyone who does!!! ahem, anyways, Thanks!
Agent Blue: lol I'm alright, I pulled through and now onto the next chapter. I'm trying to get Jack to be the bad pirate that I know he can be (and is). Ahh evil writer's block! I can't even see whats going to happen in my own story! Thank you!
Cirece7: pins and needles...erotic....lol jk! Writing professionally..hmm...well I've thought about it, but my English teachers confirmed that I wasn't very good so then I stopped thinking about it. Yes, I'm quite bitter about them. They said I write like I'm 12, which I am most certainly not and pardon me for thinking that the Great Gatsby was rubbish when they brought it out to be this magnificent piece of work! F.Scott Fitzgerald can bite me! Fucking racist shithole *grumbles* anyways, I'm glad you like my writing! It makes me so happy when people like my writing style!! Thank you so much!
Seom: :-D
The infamous Chibi Cat:: Thanks sweety!! *hugs and squeezes kitty* Yes, boo to Jack in the last chapter. Thanks!
Weee: That's right and Jack is no exception to that! Actually, I believe the pirates back then were worse than Jack. In fact, Jack is NICE compared to what the pirates really were back then, but I couldn't make him too mean after all. I'm glad you're liking this! Thanks hun!
Eradwyn: Oh don't worry *smiles deviously* I'll make him pay. :) Yes, I know how terrible it is to be raped (not by personal experience but by people I've met who have been). Adelei is not a very happy camper right now and that wasn't the image I was trying to portray, so I'm sorry if I did. But thanks for reviewing!
Alexi: Thank you hun!!!
Ruki the Fairy: lol yes I ( and the other millions of girls) agree that we ALL would have done something with sexy Jack if we were in Adelei's place. :-) Thanks!
PenguinFlavoredFilm: Yes many many people would have taken her place and rather quickly too. I doubt there would be much hesitation. Thanks!
CaptainSparrow'sLuv: Hello lovely! Thank you so much for your support! You're awesome!
Littlepinkstar: I love that you love my writing style!! Thanks!
Seiko: Yes, bad bad Jack. He needs to be punished. ;) Jack is quite hot and admit it, he's even hotter when he's being bad! Hehe, well here it is! Thanks!
MellonDrama: I won't stop.... ;) thanks
hey: lol I'm glad you loved it! Thanks hun!
Meka: I will!thanks!
Swantonsxtremeangel24: lol I think everyone is willing to forgive him for that because they all wish that they were that girl. A bit troubling if you really think about it...but thanks!!
Jo12: hehe well I am educated AND perverted and that mixture leads to what I write! :-D Thanks hun!
Nefertari Membarak: Hehe, just for you hun. I'll try and add that word more often! Thanks!
Nickypoux: I know I know its cruel but I gotta do what I gotta do! :-D thanks!
Shadowedrose: I'm glad that you liked it and that it flowed nicely because it was hard to write! Thank you so much!
Talking book: Again with the monkot! *sigh* *locks herself in the cage again* hehe Thanks!
Nikajendayiuadjit: lol *throws* Thanks hun!
