A/N: I love to know when people are reading my stories! So please review!
The next morning we were woken up early.
"Get up you scallywags! Time for work! This ship won't sail itself to Orinoco!" yelled the captain.
"C'mon you liver lickers!" shouted his first mate Gibbs who was pounding on everyone's door. "Get up! All of ya's!"
Eventually they woke everyone up. "All hands on deck!" yelled Jack as Gibbs tossed the crew apples.
"You sailor!" Jack yelled to Jasmine.
"Aye?" she said.
"Come with me. I have a special job for you." He said.
"Aye captain." She said catching the apple that Gibbs had tossed to her. Gibbs gave her a dirty look and when Jack was out of sight he came up to her and said, "Woman don't belong on the sea."
"Aye mate. All woman, but me" she said then turned around and followed Jack up the stairs and onto the deck. Jack went to the deck and stopped. He turned and faced Jasmine.
"So sailor, it's time to test your skills." He said while pulling out his shining sword and raised it in a challenging manner.
She pulled out her own in acceptance of his challenge. He smirked. He flipped the sword around in a rotation in his hand then tossed it into the air and caught it…behind his back. Then he smiled at her deviously.
She tossed her own into the air and caught it at the sharper end in her right hand. Then she flipped it around and caught it by the handle the turned it to fit into a comfortable position in her hand.
The two swords met in a clash, which was faster than lightning, in the air above their heads then below their waists. He suddenly moved behind the wheel, she turned and followed.
Their swords clashed each time they moved and they met. They picked up the pace and were fighting so fast it was hard to predict where the swords would go next. They soon attracted the attention of several crewmembers. Surprisingly, not all of the cheers were for Jack, some were for Jasmine.
Then, just when you thought that the fight couldn't get more intense, it got fiercer. Then soon the fight left the top deck and moved around the main deck.
Then there was a loud crash from inside of the kitchen and Jack was thrown off guard. Jasmine was able to throw his sword out of his hand wither her own. The sound of steel on wood was heard throughout the Black Pearl.
Jack smiled, revealing a mouth full of silver, gold, and platinum.
"Very nice. Not bad at all sailor." Complimented Jack.
"Thank you cap'n. I've practiced," said Jasmine.
Then there was applause. Jasmine but her sword away and took a bow smiling.
******************
(A/N: I know that they wouldn't make it to Orinoco that fast. But since it's my story, they can now. And I have no clue is the Isle de Orinoco is real or not.)
"You were wonderful this morning Jas," said Marrion later on.
"Aye?" Jasmine asked.
"Aye, and I do believe that the captain has taken a real liken' to you."
"You really think that Marrion?" she asked.
"Aye, I do"
"Marrion." Said Jasmine.
"Aye?"
"What be in Orinoco that we'll be lookin' for?" Jasmine asked staring at the land in front of her that was now visible.
"Ah, glad you asked that. There be the Falls of Fair"
"Falls of Fair? What in the blazes be that?"
" They're found in the heart of the isle. You step into the falls and behold the fairest thing you'll ever lay eyes on. And legend has it that any man, or woman, to witness them will always be lead to the fairest things in life, whether they're lookin' for 'em or not. An extremely bless'ed gift for a pirate to have" answered Marrion. "I would love to look upon the falls. But the captain shall be the only one"
" Why is that?" Jasmine asked.
"It be cursed for more than one person to look upon the falls in one days time. It's be unfair for us to wait that many days so that the entire crew can have a look. Plus, if the captain is lead to riches we all get lead to 'em."
"So Jasmine, how was Tortuga eh?" asked Marrion changing the subject.
"Oh you know, crime, whores, hell on earth, bloody good time though I must say over all though Marrion" she replied with a smile.
She went over to the edge of the ship and rested her elbows on the railing.
"I love the sea Marrion." She said.
He put his arm around her. "Aye, me too" he said. Suddenly there was a sharp jolt. Marrion grabbed Jasmine's shoulders to prevent her from going over.
"What in the blazes!" shouted Marrion.
The captain stepped out of quarters. "Stay calm you land lovers! All hands on deck mates! We've hit shallow early. Let's get her out of here and prepare to get off!"
There was intense applause. It was about they had gotten off the ship.
"You! Jasmine!" called Jack.
"Aye!" she answered with her hands on the ropes.
"My quarters, now." He said.
There were a few chuckles. "You're in for it now poppet!" called out a pirate named Bill.
Jasmine ignored him and went into Jack's office.
"Shut the door" Jack said when she entered. She did as she was told.
"Aye captain?"
"As you know already," Jack started as he began to pace around his room. " We'll be goin' to the heart of the Isle De Orinoco."
"Aye, Marrion told me about it captain." Said Jasmine.
"Well, while we was fightin' I noticed your necklace slip out." He approached her and casually put his hand down her collar and pulled out a necklace. It was a necklace with a circled star with five gems at the end of each point.
"Ya' can't fool me Ms. Jones. You're a witch aren't you?" said Jack.
Jasmine stopped cold, took a deep breath, then admitted to her long kept secret. "Aye captain."
"Ah, well then ye be just what I be needin'" said Jack with a sudden smile on his face.
"Cap'n?"
Jack explained. "The Falls of Fair do indeed show the most fair thing you'll ever see but they don't just open up to any ol' sailor who walks up there. Ya' need magic. And you just saved me the troubles of finding one to open 'em fer me." He said while he put his hand behind her neck and brought her hair to the front. "Can ye open em' fer me in other words lassie?" he said looking deep into her chocolate eyes.
Aye cap'n. I can open 'em fer ya. It'd be my pleasure."
"Why I thank ya lass," Jack said smiling showing a mouth full of gold teeth. "You know, you're turning out to be quite the pirate."
"I've been a pirate cap'n"
"Ah, of coarse. My deepest apologies. Of coarse. Then he moved his fore finger underneath her chin and lifted her face to look directly into her eyes. "Then you're becoming and even better pirate." He said smoothly.
"I see you're quite the flatterer captain." She said pushing his hand away.
"Well I try to be."
She smiled. "Of coarse. Well, I'd best be heading back to the deck eh captain?" she stated as she turned around to leave.
Jack took her hand to prevent her from leaving. "Not in a rush now are we?" said Jack smiling the most handsome smile he knew of.
"Why, would you like me to stay captain? I mean, it's up to you. I haven't been dismissed yet after all."
Jack smiled mischievously, almost too much for comfort. "Yes, after all, you haven't been dismissed."
She smiled back. "Aye"
"Yer' dismissed. But don' be runnin' off too far." Jack said obviously flirting.
"Aye captain" Jasmine replied while turning around to leave.
"Jack" said Jack.
Jasmine turned back around. "'Xuse me cap'n?" said Jasmine confused.
"It's Jack sailor. No need for "captain" when it's just you and me, savvy? After all, a witch, especially a pirate one, deserves respect." Jack said with a look in his eyes that hinted that wasn't the real reason for it.
"Aye captain" said Jasmine smiling. "I mean, Jack." Then she turned around and headed out to deck.
"What did the captain want?" asked Marrion worried.
"Oh nothing, just wanted to make sure the crew was treatin' me fair." She lied.
"Oh, ok. Well, they need help lowerin' the boats." Marrion said pointing to the opposite side of the ship.
"Aye" said Jasmine going over.
"So, what did the captain what wit' ya poppet?" asked a pirate named Sam. (A/N: Remember Sam ok? He comes in later on in the story. Like two more chapters later I think.)
"I reckon it's none or yer' business" she said as the lowered part of the crew into the water.
