**********
On that same night, you and your ship, the Pearl of the Orient headed to Tortuga. On your way there, you had an unfortunate encounter with the cruel pirate, Captain Barbossa with his new ship, Jabberwock. A fierce battle between your crew and captain Barbossa's crew ensued, with him gaining the upper hand.
The battle wasn't going well in your part. Many of your crew had already been killed and some are gravely wounded. While parrying some of your oppressor's mugging, someone attacked you from behind. Two well built pirates, each wielding a huge and cruel looking cutlass relentlessly attacked you. Despite your small size compared to the pirates, you still managed to defend yourself against them.
"How can I possibly win against this two pirates?" you muttered to yourself. Though you are a very skilled fighter, they are still unbeatable. Thinking of a strategy to defeat the brutes you decided to back a few paces. After a few consecutive strikes you manage to beat the other one with your sword technique leaving you with one pirate left and you, exhausted and gravely wounded.
Though your white clothes are already covered with blood and some of your body parts are with filled bruises, you never ceased fighting. Seeing an advantage to beat the last one, you slowly positioned yourself. But before you were able to take that step, someone captures you from behind.
"I got ye! I think yer the Cap'n of this ship are ye not?" said a rough voice from behind.
"Let's take this bonnie lass to our Cap'n." Said the muscled pirate.
"Let me go!" you yelled trying to break free from the grasp of the pirate who's holding you captive.
The two pirates held both of your arms and dragged you along the way.
"Gangway!!!" shouted the muscled pirate walking across the battlefield.
(Get out of my way! – in pirate language)
"The Captain wants to see ye." Said the one eyed pirate holding your left arm.
"Why? You've already got all that you've wanted!" you exclaimed furiously. But the two pirates holding you just gave you an infuriating look and just tighten their grasp.
You felt your arms being stretched as if they're gonna be torn apart. You can almost feel their greasy bodies touch yours.
"Get your dirty hands off me you scurvy dogs!!!" you yelp as you try to struggle free from them.
"This bonnie lass knows how to talk like a pirate!" said the one eyed pirate.
Stopping near the starboard of your ship, there you saw a man standing in front of you. You can't identify who he was or even what he's wearing because there was no source of light to illuminate the area, even the moonlight can't share a bit of illumination because of the dark clouds covering it. You were pushed towards him,
"Good evening Miss. Your name Gonzalez. I never thought that I'd see ye again after such a long time. And you're still as beautiful as ever." Said the man with the big irritating husky voice.
Shocked upon hearing the man's voice, you try to remember where you heard that voice and a few moments later, the dark clouds covering the moonlight finally swept away by a strong wind. You saw a man standing right in front of you. His hair, mustache and goatee are almost gray and he's wearing a black outfit and hat with feather. Then you realized who he was.
"You? Barbossa?! What do you want from me!" you snarled at him.
"Aye, me dear captain." Barbossa calmly said while brushing his goatee with his fingers.
"Well, I've got all yer treasures yet I still don't have what I've been looking for: The Eye of Atlantis." He continues.
"How…how did you know that I have it?" you asked him looking directly to his face.
"Oh! Didn't your father told ye that I was with him when he got the Eye of Atlantis?" replied Barbossa mocking you.
You tried to lunge towards him but the pirates held you firmly on the ground.
"My father will not trust someone like you!" you shouted in rage.
"Aye, true. That was the reason why I killed yer father. I gave him a shot right through his chest." Said Barbossa while sneering at you.
Your blood boiled after hearing those words making you want to kill him right there on the spot if only not for the pirates holding you back.
"Now my deary, could you tell me where you hid the Eye of Atlantis?" asked Barbossa maliciously touching your face with his bony fingers.
"Even if I knew where it is I won't tell you!" you cried in resentment, gritting your teeth like hell.
"Well, I guess you wouldn't share us where you hid it. I'll just probably maroon you right here." replied Barbossa deviously.
"Besides, your ship is probably better off with me." He added with a wicked taste of enthusiasm.
Your eyes widened upon hearing these words. You tried to break free because you really want to slash him and send him to Davy Jone's Locker but those scurvy freebooters won't let you go.
"Men, I would like to announce to all of you that our lovely captain will walk the plank." Barbossa commanded.
A number of pirates grabbed you pushing you to the plank.
"I guess I'll be the one who'll find the Eye of Atlantis." Said Barbossa wickedly.
"Curse you! Barbossa!" you yell out your anger.
"By the way, we're the same. I was killed by your sweetheart, Jack Sparrow." He added before kicking you off the plank.
You fell to the cold waters of the sea. When you resurfaced, you could hear them laugh annoyingly.
Seeing a floating barrel nearby, you immediately swam towards it. You heard Barbossa shouted,
"I wish I could meet you again, that is if the sharks won't make ye their dinner." making everyone in the ship roared to laughter.
Your heart sank while you watched your ship and the Jabberwock sail away leaving you behind alone in the middle of the sea with no hope of salvation.
By the next morning, the island of Tortuga can already be seen. Jack came out from his cabin,
"What a beautiful mornin'! I 'ope that I can finally see ye there, me luv!" he said stretching his arms.
Will and the others also came out. Jack saw Will also stretched his arms.
"Good mornin' Will." Jack greeted happily.
"Good Morning Jack." Will responded.
"Is that you Jack?" Will asked dumbfounded looking at Jack from head to foot and then circling around him.
"Aye? Is there something wrong with me?" asked Jack.
"Nothing… I was just surprised to see you newly bathe." replied Will Turner.
"Oh…It's because last night me whole body itches." Said Jack.
After a few moments, Jack's crew prepared the ship to dock. Will helped untie the ropes.
"Jack, those beads are still on your bandana. Don't you get annoyed wearing that?" Will asked Jack in wonder.
"Nope. These beads always remind me the number of times I missed to see her. She always makes it a point to leave one bead in the big ol' oak tree whenever
she visits Tortuga." Replied Jack.
"Oh…How sweet of her." commented Will.
As soon as the Black Pearl reached the port of Tortuga, Jack immediately jumps off from his ship asking a man nearby, "Has the Pearl of the Orient docked here already?" Looking at Jack with a hint of annoyance,
"Can ye see any white ship here?" asked the drunken man sarcastically.
"No." Jack replied waving his head.
"Then that means that the Pearl of whatever has not been here!" Yelp the drunken man before leaving Jack.
"Well, I guess I have to stay here for quite some time." Jack mumbled to himself.
Will walked down to the port carrying his luggage looking around.
"Tortuga hasn't changed a bit since the last time I was here." Thought Will.
While looking towards the seashore he happened to see a barrel floating with someone clinging on to it he thought to be a woman. Without a minute's thought he quickly informed Jack of this.
"Jack! Come over here! I want you to see this! I think there's someone out there!" Pointing at the barrel's direction.
Upon hearing this, Jack quickly jumps into the water to he rescue. When Jack reached the barrel, he saw a gravely wounded unconscious woman wearing a white garment with her face covered by her black hair. Removing the hair from the woman's face he was flabbergasted to see who the girl really was.
"BEGAD! It's her!" Jack exclaimed.
With all of his might Jack carried your unconscious body back to the surface and laid you on the rocky shores. He checks your wrists to see if there's any pulse present and was relieved to feel it beating.
"Thank god, she's alive." he sighed in relief. Jack told Will to get some blankets for your soaking wet body.
As soon you heard Jack's voice, you opened your eyes though you still had a hard time seeing due to your blurry vision caused by over exhaustion, you were quite pretty sure that the voice belonged to your beloved Jack but decided to ask anyway if that was truly him, hoping that this wasn't just a dream and your truly awake.
"Is that you Jack?" you asked weakened.
Jack placed his arms around you and lays your head to rest in his arms.
"Aye' its me. What happened to you, me luv?" asked Jack deeply concerned.
Though you want to tell him everything that happened, your too weak and exhausted to speak up. You shiver as you feel the cold wind touched your body. After a while, Will arrived handing Jack a thick blanket that he immediately wrapped around your bruised and cold body. Despite your weakened state, you were still able to give him one of your sweetest smile then after a few moments, everything went black…
You woke up finding yourself inside a large room lying on a warm bed and with Jack sitting beside you. Furthermore you realized that your wounds were already tended and they are now covered with thick bandages.
"How's yer feelin', me luv?" asked Jack with worried voice.
"Much better." You managed to reply. Finishing the last of the bandages he asks you again if you want to eat, offering you a bowl of warm soup.
"Yes. Thank you." You replied thankfully. He helped you in eating the soup.
It surprised you to see Jack not asking anything with regards to what happened except for the things concerned at the present moment. And it made you feel happy and secure in your heart, especially whenever he looks at you.
After finishing your soup, Jack placed the empty bowl back to the tray then you broke the silence.
"So, How are you?" you asked.
"I'm fine." Jack answered with a sweet smile. As you stared at Jack's face something caught your eyes.
"So it's true." You said.
"What's true? Me Luv" he asked confused.
"You kept it." you answered.
"Kept what?" he asked again dumbfounded.
"Those beads that I always leave at the branch of the old oak tree." You replied.
"Oh! These?" he said while touching the beads dangling at the right side if his face.
"Let's just say I knew where to look and besides, there's no other beads like these ye can find here in Tortuga." Jack continues.
"I'm glad to know that you kept each one of them." You said gratefully.
Jack smiles at you again when all of a sudden touches your face with his fingers, he attempt to kiss you but a knock from the door was heard.
"Come in" said Jack putting down his hand away from your face.
The door slowly opened and Will and Anamaria carefully entered the room.
"Anamaria is here to lend some fresh clothes for her." Said Will.
"Who's that young man?" you asked looking at Will.
"He's William Turner. Husband of Port Royale Gonvernor's daughter." stated Jack introducing Will to you.
"Pleased to meet you. Ms. Your Name Gonzalez. Jack had already told me about you and your arrival here." Said Will politely.
"Oh… Nice to meet you too Will Turner. Don't be so gallant, feel free to be casual." You said to Will.
"Ahem…excuse us for a minute." Anamaria interrupts. " I still have to change her clothes." Pushing the Will and Jack to the door.
Jack and Will left the room waited outside.
"Have you already told her what you feel?" asked Will.
"Nope." Replied Jack.
"Why? You've been waiting for this moment right?" Will added curiously.
"I can't put it into words… And besides it's not yet the right time." Responded Jack.
After waiting for a few minutes, Anamaria went out..
"She wants to talk to you Jack." Anamaria told Jack. "And Please, don't do anything stupid, ok?" she added turning back on them as she leaves.
Jack entered the room carefully. He saw you sits up on the bed wearing an off white night gown.
"Why do ye want to talk to me, me luv? You're supposed to be resting. " Asked Jack as he sat beside you.
"I just want you to keep me company." You replied looking at him.
"Oh… Is that so.." replied Jack nodding while he stares at you.
"What happened to ye and to yer ship, anyway?" asked Jack to you gently holding your hand.
" Umm… A group of pirates attacked us in the middle of the night killing almost all my crew, while the rest were taken hostages. Then I was marooned in the middle of the sea. Then my ship got stolen." You replied in despair and anger.
"Who attacked you and who stole yer ship?" asked Jack concerned.
"Umm… It was Barbossa." You replied honestly and in a low tone.
"What?! That poxed picaroon is still alive?!" Jack yelled out of shock.
(Poxed – used as an insult, Picaroon – another tern for pirate)
"Yes…and I remember that him saying that you already killed him 2 years ago." You continued.
You bit your lower lip and turn your look away from his face. You know that Jack will go and face that picaroon and surely send him to Davy Jones' locker and you try to think of what you'll say to stop him before he does.
"Don't worry about it, it's just a ship. I'm just lucky enough to be here alive." You said looking again at him, smiling and pretending that everything is okay.
Jack turns you, his face filled with worry and anger.
"Aye, yer right but…" he said.
"No buts Mr. Sparrow. I want you to stay here with me." Pulling a dagger beside you and pointing it straight at Jack's neck.
"And don't you dare leave this room because if you do, I'll slice your neck faster than you can say shiver me timbers!" You threatened him.
"Aye…aye, me luv." Jack replied raising both hands in the air.
After a few minutes, you felt a little sleepy and exhausted again. You put down the dagger and placed it on your side. Then Jack placed your head to rest on his exposed chest to comfort you. You can hear his heart beating as you rest upon his muscular chests. He placed his arm around your body and you feel Jack's fingers caressing your hair. You felt more secured and longed his embrace. You easily fell asleep in his grasp.
"Have a sweet and pleasant dream me queen." Jack whispers, kissing your forehead.
