A/N: Woo Hoo! Smell that sea breeze!

Anne: I don't know what you're excited about it's the same breeze we've smelled for days on end!

Nev: *smiles innocently* But it's a lovely smell!

Anne: *rolls eyes while tieing a rope* Whatever ye say, mate! Say when are we going to open our shop?

Nev: umm.

Anne: Don't tell me ye haven't thought of it!

Nev: Okay I won't but I guess we could start today! *hangs open sign on the side of the ship* Okay we're open!

When they reached Will's house Salina pulled Cat down from the horse and held her in her arms. Jack walked up to the door and knocked, Elizabeth answered.

"Look what the ocean waves dragged in!" He shouted laughing innocently.

"Jack! What is the meaning of this!" Elizabeth scorned looking at the beaten pirates.

"Milady, we're most apologetic about disrupting ye in the middle of the morning but we are in great deal of need for assistance from a doctor." Salina lifted Cat a little higher and Elizabeth gasped at the wound.

"Oh I see, come right in." She moved from the door and let them enter. Jack knocked some things from a table and Salina lay Cat's frail body on it.

"She's lost a lot of blood! We need a doctor right away!" Salina hollered to Smith. "Please go find one Smith!"

Will entered the room in bewilderment. "What's going on?" Jack peered up from the table and looked at Will.

"We're throwing a party! Care to join?" Jack answered sarcastically.

"Milady do ye have towels or blankets we could use?" Salina peered up at Elizabeth.

"Oh yes, give me a moment!" She ran off down a hallway and quickly returned with ten towels and a blanket. "Is this enough?" She asked out of breath.

Salina smiled at her, "That'll do, thanks."

Within moments Smith returned with a doctor, he immediately began work on Cat. Salina stood off by the window gazing out at the town remembering the night that she first came back to Port Royal with Jack. It was a strange night with lost of conflict and pain. Salina stared down at her stomach and rubbed it, remembering the place where Jordan had cut into her, it was a sad and disturbing night in deed.

Will and Elizabeth walked up behind Salina and disrupted her thoughts. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to distract you from your thoughts."

"It's quite all right Will, was just going over some past memories." Salina replied softly trying not to disturb the doctor with her chatting.

"Well then, allow me to introduce you to my wife." He backed away allowing Elizabeth to step in. "Miss Rose this is my wife Elizabeth Swann."

Salina gazed at the woman for a moment before shaking her hand. "It is a pleasure to meet the governor's daughter, I assume that's who you are?"

Elizabeth smiled. "Yes I am, and it is a pleasure to finally meet the feared pirate Captain Rose!"

Salina's eyes widened as did Jack's as he suddenly showed interest in the conversation.

"Feared? That's a new one." She smiled as she noticed Jack making his way towards her.

"I've heard so much about you and you're adventures." Elizabeth continued.

"Oh really now? Have ye ever heard the one on how I became a pirate?"

Jack stopped in his tracts noticing that Salina was starring at him in that conniving way. "What's in your head Salina?"

"Oh nothing Jack, just a curious question." She winked to him causing a shiver to slide up his spine.

"No, I haven't. Would you tell me?" Salina was taken aback by how interested Elizabeth was in her life.

"Well why doesn't Jack tell ye, he knows it through and through." She looked up at Jack with smile again.

"Nah Salina, I couldn't tis your life." He replied solidly.

"Oh but Jack I insist." She walked over to him eyeing him the whole way. Salina let her fingers massage his shoulders and then she continued. "After all it was partly you're life too."

The doctor came into the room wiping his hands on a towel. "She's fine. Cat is alive and well."

Salina turned and smiled at the man. "Thanks ol' chap!" She said hastily as she recognized him as the man who stitched her up all those years ago. She quickly entered the next room where Cat lay sound asleep.

"There's a story behind those two isn't there Will?" Elizabeth inquired.

"It would seem so." He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and then walked into the next room.

Salina was perched on the side of the bed holding Cat's hand. Jack walked in and sat next to her.

"Yes Jack?"

"Well I was just curious how all of this came about." He removed his hat revealing his red bandanna and long locks of matted brown hair.

"How what came about?"

"Don't be smart, this problem. How did she get hurt and what's this I hear about your ship being destroyed?"

Salina's head lowered as she looked at the floor, she had almost forgotten about her ship Cat's well-being had overwhelmed her thoughts completely allowing that one detail to slip from her mind.

'We were attacked, by a ship called the Night Rogue. It was late and we were tired, it wasn't much of a fight for their crew." She looked up at Jack with worried eyes. "Jack it was our crew."

He looked at her strangely. "Our crew?"

"From the Pearl all those years ago, they're back!" She paused taking a breath. "Jack, Barbossas back with his crew of miscreants." Salina swallowed hard looking at Cat.

"Barbossa is dead, I killed him. Ye can ask Will, ye were just imagining things."

"Ye call this imagining things, Jack?" Salina pointed to her neck where finger marks were imprinted from the night before. "I saw him with my own eyes! He tried to kill me Jack!"

Jack turned away and thought for a moment as Salina turned back. "Now ye answer me, why was he after my ship, Jack? What did ye do? Cause whatever it is he is after me now because of it, maybe ye as well!"

Jack looked at her sternly. "I killed him!"

"Obviously not!" She stood dropping Cat's hand. "Jack, I need to find him!"

"What, are ye crazy ye nearly got yourself killed last time or did ye not notice your arm!"

"He attacked me out of no where for no known reason and seems how ye won't tell me, I have to find out for myself, now don't I?" She shouted in his face, Will and Elizabeth stood by watching the two argue. Salina turned and was about to leave when Jack grabbed her arm.

"I won't let ye go alone!"

"That's not your decision to make!"

"It is if I ever want to see you alive again!"

Salina opened her mouth to speak then closed it as she couldn't come up with the words to return back to Sparrow. Will smiled inwardly as he realized that Salina could not refuse Jack's offer.

"Fine!" She said heavily.

"Good, we leave tomorrow at dawn."

"Agreed, Captain." She hissed before leaving the room, she then turned and came back. "Elizabeth is there a room that I may stay in tonight?"

"Yes there is." She followed Salina out of the room. They walked down a hallway and stopped in front of an old wooden door. "Here you go."

"Thank you I'm sorry for the scene back there. It's just that man gets me so mad!"

Elizabeth smiled as they both entered the room. "I know what you mean."

Salina laughed, raising an eyebrow at her statement. "Do you now?"

"Well not in that way!"

"Ah, then ye don't know the real Jack Sparrow. He can't be very vile on the outside but he's different on the inside I tell ye. But he still get me mad sometimes."

"So there is a past between you two?"

"Aye there is and it's a very long one. Say how long have you and Little Turner been married."

"A couple of months now. If you don't mind me asking why do you call him little Turner?"

"That's a story from the past as well." Salina smiled. "I was a friend of his father's, and only a friend. So don't be getting any ideas."

"I would never." Elizabeth looked appalled.

"Just making sure deary, can never be too sure. Do ye mind if I call ye Beth?"

"No, I suppose that's okay."

"Right then. I used to have a little cousin named Elizabeth that's what I called her." Salina sat on the bed and hugged a pillow. "I miss her so much, haven't seen her in, oh, 14 years. She's a grown woman by now." Salina frowned.

"What happened why don't you see her any more?"

"Oh her father would forbid it, he doesn't understand the likes of me. Thinks I'm too wild."

"Oh."

Salina stood and was admiring a vase when Will walked in. "Elizabeth your father's here!"

Salina dropped the vase and it shattered on the floor. "Oh lord Salina! What's wrong?"

"Oh I'm sorry It slipped through my fingers here I'll clean it up." She bent down and picked up pieces of the broken vase.

Elizabeth started to help her. "No Beth, ye go see your father I'll be fine."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm positive." Elizabeth got up and walked out of the room with Will.

Salina sat on the bed and sighed. "Why now?" She looked to the floor then a thought struck her. "Jack! Cat! Oh god what if he sees them." She ran out of the room and down the hall. Salina wasn't paying attention and she ran right into the Governor and fell back onto the ground.

She rubbed her head and moved the hair out of her face. The Governor looked down at her in shock. "Salina?" Elizabeth's eyes shot between the two of them.

"Hello uncle." Salina said shyly shrugging her shoulders.

Elizabeth's eyes widen. "She's my-." Elizabeth's eyes rolled back and she fainted back onto the floor.

Salina sat on the floor watching everything. "He he, heh! I'm dead."

A/N: Oh yeah! So now what's going to happen? Only I know, MAWHA! Okay enough craziness, please review and tell me what you think. Thanks!
