Hey peeps! I'm back with another chapter! This chapter does not involve the Pearl and Clearwater fighting. I think this story has only about three or four chapters to go! Stick with me 'til the end, please!

Okay, well, here we go…

Chapter 12.

Sure, Gwen was over excited about seeing her parents but the happiness soon faded when hair was pulled from her head. She looked up into the cold eyes of Captain Lousin once in his cabin. For a moment she wondered why her parents weren't here too.

"You called for me?" she said coldly when Lousin's man left the cabin.

"Take a seat," he said indicating a wooden chair in front of an oak desk. Gwen sat down firmly hurting her bottom a bit.

"So…?" she said strongly. Lousin leaned on his desk.

"Well, did Sparrow tell you? Or I wonder if he even knew," Lousin inquired.

"I doubt he did. He doesn't lie to me," she told him gruffly.

"Looks like you've taken a liking to him, haven't you?" Lousin asked wickedly.

"Go to Hell," she told him tearing her eyes away from his. Lousin grabbed her chin and forced her eyes back at him.

"You're lucky I don't just kill you off right now," he told her pinching her chin. She grabbed his hand and yanked it away.

"You're trying to take advantage of me!" she spat at him trying to kick him. He grabbed her foot and pulled it from under her.

"Don't try and get physical, girl. You wouldn't last a minute against me or my crew," he said once he'd pinned her to the floor.

"Get offa me!" she yelled pushing him over.

Gwen kicked him, avoiding his flailing arms, and then fumbled with the doorknob until she was free of the captain's cabin. She didn't know what the hell she was doing, the only thing she knew was to get as far from Lousin as possible. It would be tricky considering this was his ship.

She ran towards a staircase leading to the quarterdeck and hid underneath it. She took large gulps of air until a hand was over her mouth by someone behind her. She suspected it to be Lousin.

"Gwen," the soothing voice of her father told her. "Stay here."

"What?" she asked in a clueless whisper when he uncovered her mouth.

"Just do as I say. I've got a plan," he said confidently moving from his spot behind her.

"Where's ma?" Gwen asked almost silently.

"You'll see," Will said with a little smirk before climbing out of his hiding spot. "Oh, you'd better take this," he said shoving a pistol into her hand. Gwen smiled knowing what he was going to do.

"I demand you drop your pistol!" the frightened voice of Lousin yelled from a distance. Will looked at his daughter, winked, and walked out into the hot Caribbean sun.

Gwen smiled as she heard Elizabeth her mother hiss something to Lousin.

"I demand you tell your crew to turn back or you'll see what it feels like to have lead in your neck," she had hissed.

"Everyone on deck! No one walking around doing nothing!" Jack yelled at his crew after giving the order to turn back west and following the Clearwater.

"Thanks Captain, I really appreciate it," Jeremy said sympathetically. Jack looked at him and then turned back to the helm.

"I've been needing adventure," he replied gruffly.

"Gwen's like a sister to me. Sometimes I'm too protective of her," Jeremy told him grinning.

"What're you doing up here at the helm? If you want to save Miss Turner then get to business!" Jack said giving Jeremy a nudge.

"Sorry," he said tripping over a bucket. "Oops." He scrambled to his feet and ran towards Anamaria who was straightening a sail.

"Klutz," Jack muttered to himself putting on a smirk. That reminded him, Gwen's diary! Good reading time, he thought to himself.

He opened Gwen's diary to a middle page to when she was twelve. Twelve-year-old girls fascinated him.

Twelve.

I am so excited today! Father finally let me choose my own sword that he made! Oh, it's beautiful! I can't even begin to describe it! He said to keep it secret just in case.

Another thing, I heard them talking about a Captain Sparrow. Never heard of him.                             

And now she does, Jack thought to himself.  

"Captain, we've caught sight of the Clearwater," Gibbs said behind Jack. He grinned.

"Ready the cannons!" he told the crew a cheerful glow in his eyes.

How's that for a chapter? I know short. But the next chapter hopefully won't be.

Thanks to those who reviewed last chapter! I appreciate it much!
