Alexandria kicked at the door of the cabin, her hands were bound to a chair. She backed against the door throwing the weight of the chair against it. "Stop doing that luvie and I'll open the door for ye." She heard someone say. She stopped, and sat down, away from the door. Jack opened the door cautiously with a tray in one hand, one thing he feared, were raging women. "See? I wont hurt ye, if ye be good to Jack, Jack be good to ye, savvy?" he put the tray on a table. "Eat luvie, ye look like ye need some." He said. Alexandria stared at the good food, fruit, meat and wine. She felt her stomach rumble.
"Are you saying you didn't kill my parents." She asked cautiously. Jack grinned and took a grape and popped it into her mouth.
"That's right luv."
"And you say that this, Barbossa killed them." Jack smiled and popped another grape into her mouth.
"And in case ye are planning to kill him luv. Too late because I already have." He concluded. Alexandria looked down, tears falling, "Aww, why so sad?" he said lifting her chin to find a sad, but beautiful, young face.
"Could you untie these?" she asked sweetly, staring into his dark brown eyes. Jack nodded obediently, and untied the girl. Jack turned to pour some wine, Alexandria took a knife out of her boot and made to stab Jack in the back. But Jack saw the reflection in the glasses, he turned around and grabbed her hand, carefully taking out the knife out of her strong grasp.
"Don't do that again luv." He said quietly. She sat back down as he pocketed her small knife. Alexandria nodded obediently and closed her eyes, "What's ye name luv?" he asked giving her the wine. Alexandria opened her eyes,
"Alexandria Robins," she said. Jack nodded smiling,
"Beautiful name for a beautiful girl, I… am Captain Jack Sparrow." He said waving his hands around like a drunk. Perhaps he was already drunk. Alexandria didn't react, she closed her eyes,
"Just get on with it," she said bluntly. Jack frowned and had a swig of rum,
"Get on with what luvie?" he said,
"You have me here, I can't do anything, I'm out numbered, you're feeding me. I know what you want me for, now just get it over and done with!" she shouted frustrated. Jack smiled kindly yet cheekily,
"No, no, ye keep yer legs crossed and go home." He said, she opened her eyes to find the Captain walking out of the door,
"I have no home," she whispered, "and call me Ria!" she added.
"Get some sleep," he said, and closed the door. She heard him walk away. She looked around, but this is his cabin? Where is he going to sleep?

Ria woke with the sun on her eyes and a light knock at her door. She reached under the pillow for her knife and sat up, her old dress she had been wearing for a years, in tatters. Jack opened the door, "'morning luvie, want some breakfast." He asked. She shook her head, "Of course ye do!" Jack said ignoring her universal gesture. And rushed out to get some. Ria put her knife into her boot and brushed out her long black hair with her fingers and straightened out her dress. The fabric was dirty and torn, the dress itself, almost indecent, but after all the running around, stealing away in ships and begging for food it was all she had. But all the time, she always had her sword, knife and the name Jack Sparrow with her. But this Jack Sparrow, was quite… charming. She thought. I didn't know pirates could be so unbelievably good looking.
Jack came back in with fruits and wine, much to the girl's delight. Jack sat on the bed, next to the girl, staring at her face. She had an exotic face, with the loveliest black hair down her back. She caught Jack staring at her, "What?" she asked, Jack shook his head. "What are you looking at?" she demanded. Jack shook his head again,
"Oh! Nothing…" he teased, and he lifted her chin, she could see straight into his deep dark eyes, "Just everything." He said and he kissed her. Her eyes widened, she'd never done this before, and it felt so good. She thought closing her eyes, enjoying herself fully.

"Where are we going Jack?" Ria asked as he hugged her while they steered the ship together. Jack smiled and pecked her on the cheek,
"To visit old friends at Port Royal." He told her, she turned and kissed him teasingly on the lips,
"I heard you have a price on your head at Port Royal." She said, Jack laughed,
"And where did ye hear that luvie?" he asked pecking her on the cheek again.
"Everyone that helped me track you down." She ducked under his arms and went to the side of the ship, and suddenly threw up off the side of the ship. Alarmed, Jack left the wheel and to her aid. "I'm fine!" she said, unconvincingly, and threw up the rest of her breakfast off the side of the ship.
"Really?" he asked, she coughed,
"Really." She said. "Just a spot of sea sickness." She reassured him. Jack raised and eye brow,
"Sea sickness luvie? Couldn't be, it's been months and ye never got sea sick-" he said gesturing wildly,
"There's a first for everything!" she said suddenly angrily. Jack backed away, he was still afraid of one thing, raging women. He went back to the wheel as she went to the other end of the ship.
