Chapter 3: Confrontation with the Captain

Jack, Will, and Natalie all sat at a table in the back of the tavern. People were still fighting, but it wasn't as bad as earlier. The idea of being in Tortuga was not the most comforting thought either. Will took a small sip of rum and handed the bottle to Jack, who almost drained it, leaving only about one quarter of the bottle left. "Miss O'Connell, take a swig," he said as he handed her the bottle.

"Uh.no thank you.maybe later." Jacks shrugged off that comment and finished off the bottle as he stood up and went back to the bar. When he was out of sight, Gibbs came to the table with Anamaria, a black woman with the personality of a wet mop. "Hello, Will. Where be Jack?"

"He went to the bar, Mr. Gibbs.but knowing him, he'll be back soon." Anamaria and Gibbs took the last two available seats at the table and soon enough Jack came back carrying five mugs of rum. "'Ello Gibbs.Anamaria," he said with a smile as he faced the woman and set the drinks down on the table. Within a split second, he was hit in the jaw with Anamaria's hand and his mouth dropped open. "What was that for?"

"That was for using me that night and this," she continued as she hit him again, "Is for stealing me boat!"

"Sorry 'bout that, love. By the way, ye be in me seat."

"So find another bloody one!" she shouted back as Jack glanced over at Natalie who had grown extremely quiet. He walked over to her and knocked her chair to the floor, catching her in his arms. "Hey, what the hell did ye do that for?!"

"The Captain needs a seat," he replied with a smile as he picked up the chair and sat down. Natalie crossed her arms and flashed him a nasty glare. "Ye can sit here if ye like," Jack said with another sly smile as he patted his lap, "I ain't gonna bite ya.unless ye want me to!"

"You're despicable!" she shouted back as she placed her hands on her hips and glared even more. Before she knew it, she found herself sitting on his lap and it made her extremely tense. Jack put his hands on her shoulders and rubbed them gently. He was trying to calm her, but it only made her tenser. "Natalie, what be the problem? Afraid I'm gonna hurt ya?"

"N-No.I'm just not r-really comfortable r-right n-now," she stuttered as she stared at the table. Jack's eyes widened and he let go of her, making it easier for her to stand. Natalie stood up and smiled at the Captain who lifted a mug of rum and placed it in her hands. "No thank you, Jack.I.I can't."

"It's Captain Jack Sparrow, love. Also, ye said ye'd drink later and I took it as a promise."

"Well, I didn't promise ya anything.I don't drink savvy?"

"That be my word, lass!"

"Well, I be using it now, mate," Natalie said, doing a great imitation of his attitude. It caused everyone to laugh hysterically and that made Jack angry. "Are ye making fun o' me, love?"

"Yes.course I am!" she said in a sharp tone. Jack stood up and looked down at her with an evil grin. Natalie couldn't help but laugh at his face. His dark eyes didn't bother her and that was his most terrifying trait when he grew angry. "What are ye laughin' at?"

"You, Jack.I'm mean.Captain Jack Sparrow! You just can't scare me. All you've succeeded in doing is giving me something amusing."

"What about when I made ye put on me effects and I had me pistol at ye head?"

"I knew you weren't going to fire it, so I did as I was told to avoid suspicion."

"How did ye know I wasn't going to pull the trigger?"

"You're not like that.you're a 'kind' pirate." Will's eyes widened as he watched Jack take out his gun and put it to Natalie's head as he pulled her into his grasp. There faces were only inches apart and the gun was digging into the side of Natalie's head. "Are ye scared of me now, love?"

"Jack," Gibbs interrupted, "Quit that and let the lass go. She ain't done nothing wrong!"

"Aye, but she insulted me stature, Gibbs."

"I didn't know you understood larger words than 'savvy'!" Natalie said with a smirk. Jack turned his face back to the young woman and put his finger on the trigger and gave another evil smile. "I suggest ya let me go, mate before you lose something precious to you."

"And what might that be?" the Captain asked. Without warning, Natalie moved her head and gripped his arm tightly. She then flipped him over her head so he landed on his back, dropping his gun. "O-Ow," he managed to choke out as Natalie knelt on his stomach and put a hand to his throat.

"Now, I would suggest that you respect me before you lose anything else, savvy?" Jack nodded his head and Natalie loosened her grip on his neck. "Ye still want to come aboard the ship, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Sparrow.but ye need to learn that I'm not a normal whore that ya would find in a tavern like this. I'm independent!"

"Savvy, now.would ye mind letting me throat go? Ye be choking me."

"Sorry, sir," Natalie said with a smile as she let go off Jack and stood up.

"Finally!" he yelled as he tripped her and made her land on top of him. Jack forcefully grabbed her wrists and rolled over so he was lying on her. "GET OFF ME YOU BASTARD!"

"Only if ye promise not to pull a stunt like ye just did, savvy?"

"Okay."

"Ye also have to obey every order I give to ye aboard the ship. If ye can do that, I won't be hurting ye, savvy?"

"S-Savvy," Natalie stuttered as Jack stood up and extended his hand out to her. She hesitantly accepted it and he pulled her to her feet.
