Chapter 9- Jack Find Me

Romi was sitting on a cold floor in a cell. She was aboard the evil captain's ship. It had only been a few hours but she was fidgeting uncontrollably. Finally she heard someone coming down the stairs. She looked up and saw it was Captain Martinez and gave him a cold stare.

"Hello pet. Hungry?" He threw down a plate of stale bread and what seemed to be a rotten piece of meat. Romi just let out a laugh.

"And what's so funny?" He snarled.

"The fact that although this food smells absolutely disgusting, your stench seems to overpower it." She gave him a sweet sarcastic smile. The Captain though didn't find it so humorous. "Keep laughing pet. Ye'll think twice about me stench when I have ye in me bed tonight." This time it was him who smiled, showing off several rotten teeth. Romi's skin crawled, and as soon as he turned around and went back upstairs, she finally broke down and cried into her arms. "God please, let Jack find me."

Meanwhile.

Jack and Will walked into a pub nearby the ports. They went right up to the barkeep asking questions to see if anyone knew anything about Captain Martinez's whereabouts. A man sitting close by over heard them. "I seen 'im. Has a ship docked right at the ports, heard he was leavin' as soon as he gets what he was lookin' for." Jack quickly walked towards the man. "Where is his ship?"

The man looked Jack over. "That kind of information is gonna cost ya mate."

Jack looked furious and was about to hit the man square in the face when Will quickly ran over, fished 10 shillings out of his pocket and placed them in front of the man on the table. "Now please tell us where this ship is."

He grabbed the coins and placed them in his pocket. "It's docked on the far left, port 12. The name of the ship is Night Princess."

Having what they were looking for they ran out of the pub and towards the docks. They found port 12 and the ship was there. Trying to stay out of sight, they looked things over, saw there about 10 crew walking about on the ship and who knows how many more inside. Jack thought this through. "I don't think there should be many more inside. Remember he said he 'round up a crew while in San Juan, I doubt he could have found too many. Let's get back to the Pearl and get me crew." Will nodded and they made their way back to Jack's beloved ship.

Once aboard Jack round up as many of his crew as he could, leaving enough behind to watch the ship. Angela stayed aboard too. "Will please be careful and bring Romi back." Angela looked at Will with pleading eyes. "Don't worry Angie, we won't be long." With that he gave her a kiss and followed the crew who were right behind Jack.

Meanwhile back at the Night Princess, Captain Martinez was in his quarters talking to his first mate. "It would be very much to my advantage to let 'er think she's me daughter."

"Aye, but will she believe ye? I would imagine she is not going to swallow that kind of news easily."

"True. But if I show 'er some sort of kindness, she may fall into the lie eventually. Make 'er think. She's the only trap we really have against Sparrow."

"When are ye goin' to talk to 'er?"

"Bring her to my quarters."

The sun was now setting and Romi was still in her cell sitting on the floor with her knees curled up to her chest. Suddenly she heard someone coming down the stairs again. A burly man with shoulder length dirty blond hair appeared. He walked up to the cell, unlocked it and stood at the open door.

"Let's go, the captain wants to see ye."

She stood up and walked towards the door, shivering the whole time. The dirty pirate shoved her to make her walk quicker. They got to the captain's quarters and he pushed her inside. "Wait 'ere."

She looked around the room and saw to her relief she was alone. She ran to the window and tried desperately to open it, but to no avail. She looked frantically around the room for a way to escape. Just then Martinez entered, Romi stood frozen in the middle of the room. "Ah pet, glad ye can join me. Please sit down." He sat at the table and motioned for her to sit as well. Romi looked at him suspiciously and hesitated before she took a seat as far from him as possible.

"What do you want Martinez?"

"Oh I got what I wanted, my map back from that blasted Jack Sparrow."

"Then let me leave, you have the map."

"It's a bit more complicated than that pet. I still owe Captain Sparrow my revenge for havin' sunk my ship and killin' me crew. And havin' you just adds to the fun I'm goin' to 'ave." Romi swallowed hard. "Ye see pet, there is something about me ye don't know." Her curiosity peaked at this point.

"25 years ago I met this woman. Fell in love with 'er, but she loved another. I couldn't stand the thought of 'er wit 'im. So one night I followed 'er home and snuck into 'er house.." Romi was turning white, not knowing where he was going with this story.

".where I raped 'er. It would happen a month later that she found out she was wit' child and the man she loved married 'er anyway. They sailed 'ere to Spain shortly after the child was born, was a girl. I found them and when I did I stood before them and fired a shot which was meant for 'im but she got in the middle and took the bullet. He got off a shot and got me in me leg. He grabbed his little girl and disappeared. Till I found 'im again and this time my bullet found it's way into his back." He smiled an evil smile and by this time Romi had tears running down her face. "Tha's right pet. I'm ye're real father."

"You're lying! I know who my father is and it's not you!!" She was shaking uncontrollably.

"Believe what ye want to believe. I'll leave ye be to think things through." With all this said he got up and left the room, locking the door behind him.

Romi threw herself on the bed and cried.
