A/N: Well here is the rewrite which I am saving on a disk and on my comp. If this happens to me one more fucking time, I'm going to get a new computer because it freezes on me so often and it pisses me off so much. Anyways here it is.
A special thanks to all the people who tried to help me!!!!
*************************************************************************
Adelei sat in the dark cabin of the Captain and watched as the ship rose and fell with the majestic blue waves. She was cold and tired and was thinking about Tortuga. She had been there before, her being a pirate's daughter after all, but that did not mean that she liked it there. On the contrary, she hated it, hated it with all her heart and soul, hated the drunks, hated the whores, hated....everything.
Her thoughts were interrupted when he came in. Captain Jack Sparrow strode over to her and tilted her chin up to him.
He looked like he wanted to say something important. Adelei looked up at him, waiting,
"How are ye, love?" he asked with a smile. She pushed his hand away.
"As fine as I'll ever be in this 'ell," she muttered.
"Ey, now," said Jack, "If yer referin' to the smell, then thas not our fault. Baggits jest has problems with 'is stomach. It's not 'is fault!"
Adelei rolled her eyes. She wasn't even going to explain. Jack walked over to his liquor cabinet and took out a bottle of rum. "Ere, love," he said, shoving it at her. "Ye need this."
"Get that vile drink away from me!" she cried, moving her chair away. "Is that yer solution to everythin'?"
"Well that an'...Jack started.
"Do hold yer tongue, Capn'," she snapped.
"Gettin' some confidence, now are we, lass?" Jack looked down at her, smiling.
"What do ye mean?" she asked, looking up.
"Well, if I was the bad pirate I wanted to be then I'd probably do somethin' bout that smart mouth o' yers, somethin' like this," he said, grabbing her and pinning her hard against the wall." But I'm not so....oh wait, I am. Tough luck, lass."
"Yer mouth," he whispered, running a ringed finger over her lips, "Ye can never keep it shut, can ye?" His finger traced down her neckline, making her shiver. "This isn' the first time it's got ye into trouble, yew an' I know that." His mouth came very close to hers now. His closeness..his smell...his warmth.. Maybe it was the lack of oxygen from him pressing her so hard against the wall or maybe it was those other contributing factors, but she suddenly felt very dizzy and faint. It was a feeling that she, however, liked and deep down she knew that she didn't want him to stop. "I'd think that yewd have learned by now....." His voice was low and played with her head. She thought she was going to pass out any second from this kind of contact, but she didn't. His lips finally met hers and she felt her own arms try to wrap themselves instinctively around his neck, but he stopped them and pinned her wrists to the wall.
She finally managed to pull her mouth away and ask, "What's yer excuse this time?"
"No excuse needed," was his reply as he took her mouth again. She loved the way his body felt against her own and felt a sudden urge for....for....something....something that she couldn't quite put her dainty little finger on. She moaned softly into his mouth as his hips ground gently into hers.
Suddenly, he pulled away from her lips and put his own to her ear. "We'll be in Tortuga in a week...savvy?." He released her from his grip and giving her one more smile, walked out of his cabin.
Adelei stood there, not knowing what to do. It was a strange feeling and she did not like it. He had just walked away from her in the very middle of their...actions. His warmth left her and she was cold yet again. She slowly slid down to the floor and held herself. What was to happen to her? If this, this captain, this rogue, was able to play with her like a toy and then leave her to die at some forsaken island of sin then what stopped him from killing her now? A new fear arose in her.
"Am I to blame for all of this?" she whispered to herself as tears arose in her eyes. She felt dirty. She felt like she was one of those Tortuga women, a whore, a wench.....a prostitute. 'How am I different from them?' she thought as she cried into her hands.
"I hate 'im," she said through gritted teeth as she got up and walked angrily towards the door only to find that he locked it. 'But he never locked it before,' she thought. She walked back to her chair and watched as day slowly became night. A few more tears were shed and then she cried no more. Her situation was hopeless, she knew and there was no use crying. It only wasted water which was rarely given to her and all the tears in the world couldn't help the situation.
She was surprised, however, when Jack walked into the cabin that night. She turned to face him.
"Our men be a bit bored tonight," he said, "Care to entertain?"
"What do ye think?" she snapped.
"I'll be takin' that as a yes!" he said as he picked her up and flung her over his shoulder. She kicked and fought him as he walked out the door.
"I.....meant....that....as...a....NO!" she cried, still struggling.
"Ye never learn...." he sighed.
"Stop!" she suddenly screamed. He stopped.
"What?" he asked.
"Yer steppin' on me 'air!" she cried.
"Oh," he said and put her down. He waited until she unwound her hair from his ankles and then stepped off of the end. She glared at him and then turned around only to walk into a giant of a man. She gasped and stepped back, almost bumping into the Captain, but then turned around and stepped back again, bumping into the unrealistically tall man. "Sorry," she muttered and then moved away from both of them.
"'Ey, lasssssssss," the tall man hissed. "We want ye......" Adelei gasped.
"To tell us a story," he finished.
Adelei was confused and looked over at Jack. "Ye better do what they says," he warned.
"Well, um...alrigh'," she cleared her throat and began to speak when she suddenly noticed that everyone had a bottle of rum in their hands. It was as if it magically appeared because she was sure there wasn't any before.
Unfortunately for Adelei Filiger, she never got to tell her story that night because just as she was about to, she was grabbed and pushed into the crowd and lost consciousness thereafter.
*later that night*
Adelei opened her eyes slowly. She instantly felt a severe pain in her head. She groaned and tried to get up, but was pushed down by a strong hand. She turned her head to face Jack who was sitting on the cot next to her. She gasped and tried to move away but he pushed her down again. 'Wait jest a moment here,' Adelei suddenly thought. 'Cot???? Oh no.....I'm in the dungeons of the Black Pearl....Again!'
"What happened?" she asked, looking at him. Why was there two Jacks all of a sudden!?!
"Well...lets see....Teller an' Williams got into a figh' 'bout who 'ad a bigger....never mind, ye don' need to 'ear that, an' so Teller said somethin' that Williams didn' like an' Teller picks up a chair and tries to hit Williams, but Williams ducks an'...ye can guess the rest," Jack said. "But yer alive an' ye can move so there ain't nothin' to be frettin' 'bout."
Adelei nodded and looked away. Her vision was alright now, but she still felt sore. She massaged her neck slowly. Wait....she wasn't rubbing her neck. Those weren't her rough fingers, her cold rings, her touch. But she dared not look at him. She didn't want to. Not after last time.....
But his other hand found her chin and slowly pushed her head to face him. He stared at her harshly, as if studying or interrogating her with his eyes. His fingers slowed and began to trace themselves in her hairline at which she involuntarily closed her eyes and shuddered gently. (A/N: Trust me, it feels reaaaaaaaallly good when a guy does that. Just had to add that in.....sorry)
But then she realized what was happening. "Stop it," she had to force herself to say it, just as she had to force herself to push his hand away. "Why do you do this to me?" she cried. "Toy with my emotion as if I don' 'ave any?!" She tried to push herself up to crawl away from him, but he grabbed her and pinned her down. His expression was blank, but she could see his anger.
"Ye speaks of emotion?" he asked, almost laughing at her, "What emotion do yew feel eh? A little sheltered girl who knows nothin' 'bout anythin' and only knows what she thinks she feels."
"Don' yew dare blame me for yer own disregard for a woman's emotions" Adelei said, her eyes narrowed in anger, " You don't know the first thing about me so don't you dare try an' analyze me!"
"A woman's emotions?" Jack smirked. "Is that how ye sees yerself? A woman? Thas laughable....."
"Then what am I, a child?" Adelei snapped back. "Have ye been seducing a child all this time, Capn'?" He gave her wrists a painful squeeze at which she only gave a sharp intake of breath and then got up, locked the door of the cell and left. His footsteps echoed.
Adelei lay in the unbelievably hot, sticky dark. She was covered in a thin layer of sweat.. Of course women in that era were not very fond of bathing, Adelei found herself wishing for a bath. She didn't even know what time it was. The only light in the place was a candle that was slowly extinguishing. The gentle rocking of the ship lulled her to sleep.
*a week later*
Jack had not come down once during the week. It was Jiminie who brang her food and drink and let her out to do her business. He was kind to her and found himself pitying her. She was, to him, still a child after all.
Adelei lay in the small cot, thinking about Jack and this Port Royal man whom she feared greatly. That was all she could do. There was nothing to do in her prison cell and she found herself not being able to stop thinking about all the troubles in her life. But her thoughts were interrupted when Jiminie came down the stairs.
"I'm not hungry, Jiminie," she said, softly.
"Eh, lass, I'm not 'ere to give ye food today," Jiminie said. "Today is the day ye meets Port."
"What?" gasped Adelei, getting up quickly.
"I said today is the day ye meets Port," said Jiminie, unlocking the cell.
"I 'eard what ye says!" cried Adelei, "I jest can't believe it."
"Believe it lass," Jiminie said.
"Well Jiminie, if it's not too much trouble, could ye tell me about this Port Royal man?" Adelei asked, walking out of the cell.
"Very powerful man he be," said Jiminie, "Owns a tavern.....a ship......a general store...."
"Anythin' else?" muttered Adelei.
"A whore house," continued Jiminie, "Aye, I think thas it." Adelei certainly did not like the sound of that.
She nodded and then turned to Jiminie and said , "I thank yew for yer kindness, Jiminie. I think yer the only thing I'll actually miss on this ship." Jiminie grinned.
"Well thank ye lass," he said, "I wish ye the best o' luck. Thas the only thing I can do for ye now."
Adelei walked up the stairs and covered her eyes with her hand. The sun glared down on her. She was not used to the light. As her eyes got used to it, she saw Jack talking with some other crew members. She did not wish for him to see her so she kept her eyes down and let her hair slip to the sides of her face so that she saw only what was in front of her.
Then she heard him behind her, talking to Jiminie.
"So where be Shamerick on this fine an' lovely day?" she heard Jack ask.
"He said he'd be comin' soon to Port's," Jiminie answered. "Said he 'ad some business to take care o'."
As they walked off the ship, Adelei was at once painfully reminded that she was only wearing a bodice. Cat calls, jeers, and obscene language were thrown at her from all sides. She held herself as she walked down the long dock. She felt Jiminie's presence next to her.
"Jest ignore 'em lass," he said. "An' don' ye worry, I won't let 'em hurt ye." Adelei turned to him and smiled.
"Oh Jiminie," she sighed, "I should've killed meself when I 'ad the chance."
"'Ey now Miss. Filiger!" Jiminie cried. "Don't ye go on sayin' thing's like that!"
"Look at my situation now Jiminie," she sighed. "I'd be better off dead."
"No, thas not true," he said reassuringly, "Ye'll see. Things'll get better. Thing's always get better."
"Not for me....," she muttered.
They had now come to a rather large shabby cabin. It was very bleak and desolate-looking. Adelei felt very small in front of it.
"Wait 'ere," Jack told her as he and Jiminie walked up the stairs and opened the door. Adelei watched them disappear into the darkness of the cabin and looked around. 'Wait 'ere,' those words repeated in Adelei's head several times. That was the first thing he had said to her in a week. She sighed and sat down on the steps of the cabin. She shivered at the rugged and dirty looking men who were walking with two poorly dressed ladies on their arms and mugs of grog in their hands.
Suddenly the door opened behind her and before she could turn around, she was dragged inside and thrown on the floor.
"Stand up," a voice commanded. Suddenly all the windows were opened and for the first time, Adelei Filiger met Port Royal. He was a pleasant looking man, if one considers trolls pleasant-looking. He wore an enormous black hat and was dressed in silk. His cold blue eyes seemed to pierce right through her.
"'Ello Miss Filiger, the name's Port Royal," he extended a large hand. She looked at it nervously and then put her hand in this. She almost screamed as he instantly pulled her closer.
"Nice," he muttered as his cold hands touched her face and hair, "Very nice." Then he quickly pushed her away.
"Now I 'eard o' yer deal," Port said, "An' I 'ave a ship that goes to England."
"An' when, may I ask will it be sailing to England?" Adelei asked, her voice quivering.
"In a year," smiled Port. Adelei's mouth hung open a bit.
"An what, may I ask, will I be doin' in the mean time?" she asked. This time Shamerick stood up from where he was sitting.
"Port was kind enough to let ye work for 'im an' he 'as agreed to let ye 'ave a room in 'is boardin' house," said Shamerick. He snapped his fingers together and two men brought forward an enormous chest.
"Aye, my 26 percent," said Port.
"Wait!" cried Adelei, "Thas my 26 percent!"
"How much do ye wanna go to England?" Port smiled.
"How much do ye value yer life?" Shamerick growled.
Angry tears were starting to form in Adelei's eyes. She whimpered slightly as Port walked up to her and grabbed her by the shoulders gently.
"Everythin' comes with a price, lass,"he said harshly, "Yer father taught ye nothin'?" Adelei could hold back the tears no longer and she nodded her head to his question.
"Nothin'," she whispered as tears slipped down her face.
The door slammed and she turned to see that everyone except Port and his men had left.
