A/N: EDITED. I'm continuing this bugger whether someone reviews or not. On with the show!
Disclaimer: Disney still owns all the original characters and places, but I own Jess and Nick…*sticks tongue out*
Jack: Do I get cookies? And rum?
Me: Fine. Now shut up.
Jack: But…
Me: *throws Jack in the freezer*
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Jess woke up with a start, and rubbed the back of her head. She looked around and saw a nearby dock, where a small, blue and gold tall ship was anchored. A large group of men were loading supplies onto it. She blinked, and slowly got to her feet.
"I don't remember there being a dock here…" she muttered as she stumbled out of the palm trees, feeling extremely groggy.
"Shoot him!" She looked up and noticed a large group of men in uniform pointing their guns at someone she couldn't see. "Why are they in British uniform?" she mumbled as she looked down the beach.
As she walked toward the group, she was completely taken aback by the site in front of her eyes. There, in full pirate garb, was Jack Sparrow. 'He's in that pirate movie!' she thought.
The man talking to Jack looked awfully familiar as well. "Had a brush with the East India Trading Company did we? Pirate." Jack winced slightly. She watched intently as the Navy proceeded to put him into chains, and as Jack made his daring escape.
Still feeling slightly woozy, she stumbled onto the deck. "OY! Who're you? You don't have clearance to be up here!" one of the Navy officers yelled at her. She tripped and fell into him, knocking him off the deck. "None of your business…" she muttered before blacking out as the solider knocked her over the head with the butt of his gun.

Jess slowly woke up to the sounds of people whistling and saying, "Come here boy…Nice, juicy bone…" 'This is a really weird dream…' she thought. 'I must have fallen asleep before the movie even started. Stupid…' As her eyes came into focus, she looked around.
A jail cell. Perfect.
"You can keep doing that forever, the dog is NEVER going to move." a slightly muffled voice came from somewhere in the cell. Jess looked around for the source of the voice. She saw a man sitting in one corner of the cell, a tricorn leather hat tipped over his eyes. She slowly got to her feet, eyeing the man in the corner.
He turned to face her and slowly tipped his hat up. The first thing she noticed is his beautiful chocolate brown eyes, which were lined in black kohl. His hair is long and in dreadlocks, with many beads and various trinkets sprinkled throughout, and held back by a dirty rust-red bandana. She recognized him from somewhere, but she couldn't remember at the moment.
"Like what you see luv?" he says quietly, grinning cockily.
"Who are you anyway?" Jess said, still looking at him.
He stood up and dusted himself off. "Lass, I think I should be asking you the same question." Jess leaned against the wall and cleared her throat. "Jessica. And yours would be?"
The man smirked and bowed with a flourish. "CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow. Now, what would a pretty lass like yourself be doing in a jail cell?"
"I don't…" she trailed off, suddenly realizing where she recognized him from. Pirates of the Caribbean! 'But…how could I…how could…MOVIES DO NOT COME ALIVE AND PULL PEOPLE INTO THEM!' she thought. 'Alright, all I have to do is stay with Jack and I'll eventually get out of here! I just have to stick to the plot…' she resolved.
"Luv….you still with us?" Jack looked at Jess, a concerned look on his face.
"Yeah…I'm fine…I think…Bit confused though." she said. He started to respond, but was interrupted by a rather loud boom.
"I know those guns." Jack jumped up and looked out the small window of the cell.
"It's the Pearl."
Two of the prisoners in the next cell came over and looked through the bars. One of them, with a frightened look, started to speak.
"Black Pearl? I've heard stories. She's been praying on ships and settlements for near ten years. Never leaves any survivors."
Jack looked down at the other man, a knowing smile on his face. "No survivors? Then where do the stories come from, I wonder?"
The two men in the other jail cell looked at one another, apparently realizing their logic was a bit off. Jess stifled a laugh, and earned herself a dirty look from one of the other men.
Suddenly, Jack jumped off the ledge and landed on her on the other side of the cell, shielding her face. There is a sudden loud explosion, followed by the crumbling of many rocks. Jess pushed Jack off her and noticed a large hole in the wall of the other cell. The three men in the other cell ran out of the hole, laughing gleefully.
The last pirate looked at both of them sympathetically. "My sympathies friends. You've no manner of luck at all."
Jack rolls his eyes and notices the bone lying on the floor in front of their cell. His eyes lit up, like a child seeing ice cream for the first time. He walked over and grabbed it. He stuck his arm out of the bars, holding out the bone.
"I've always had a way with animals. Come on doggy. It's just you and me now…It's you and ole Jack." Jess coughed loudly. "Yes, sorry, the three of us."
The dog got up slowly and cautiously walked toward the cell, keys held tightly in its mouth.
"Come on, good boy. That's it, good boy, come on! Bit closer, bit closer. That's it doggy. Come on you filthy, slimy, mangy cad…"
A loud crash sounded from somewhere nearby. The dog whimpered and ran off.
"No no no no no! I didn't mean it! I didn't…"
"Yeah, you've got a way with animals all right…" Jess sneered sarcastically from the back wall of the cell.
"Shut up."
All of a sudden, another crash reverberated through the jail, and a man in uniform was thrown down the stairs. "What the hell…" Jess muttered, watching intently.
Two men followed the guard down the stairs and stepped over the unconscious man. Both of them were pretty nasty looking, in Jess's opinion.
The first pirate looked around and yelled "This ain't the armory…"
Jack walked up to the front of the cell and threaded his arms through the bars, watching the two men looking around confusedly.
The other pirate, whose name was Koehler, Jess somehow remembered, noticed Jack and walked up to the cell. "Well, well, well…Look what we have here Twigg - Captain Jack Sparrow."
Twigg walked up and spat at Jack's feet. "Last time I saw you, you were all alone on a godforsaken island, shrinking into the distance. His fortunes aren't improving much. But, you do have yourself a lovely whore here, Jack." Twigg blatantly looked her over.
Jess finally spoke up from the back of the cell. "I am NOT a whore, you bloody bastard."
Jack's turned around and looked at her in awe. Then he turned his attention back to the two men.
"Worry about your own fortunes gentlemen. The deepest circle of hell is reserved for betrayers…and mutineers."
Koehler snarled and grabbed Jack's throat. Even though Jess knew it would happen, she was freaked out when she saw his arm turn into a skeleton.
"So there is a curse." Jack managed to say through the hold that Koehler had on his throat. "That's interesting."
"You know nothing of hell." Koehler sneered. He pushed Jack's head back and the two pirates stormed out the door.
Jess cautiously walked up behind Jack and stood next to him and the front of the cell. He looked at her, then looked at the bone still in his hands.
"That's very interesting…"
A/N: Well????? Any good????? See that little lavender/purple-ish button down at the bottom that says "Go"? If you pressed it and left a little note, I'd be very much obliged. Consider an early 15th birthday present. (4 months to go!)
