A.N. Thank you everyone for their reviews...especially to Alteng, thank you for your kind criticism and opinions. Sorry for the grammar guys...spell check doesn't tell me if I'm using the right words correctly and I was in such a hurry to put the chapters up and start thinking of new ones...forgive me? And as for Bianca giving up the ship without a fight...well, that will be answered towards the end of the story...I wouldn't let her be pushed around like that...but for now I am concentrating on the relationship between Bianca and Jack. Well let's face it? We all wanna know what's gonna happen with those two. And I'll get into Darion's quick temper as well. All your questions will be answered eventually...mind you that this is my FIRST time do this. KEEP WRITING THOSE REVIEWS...it's the only way I become a better writer. =) * * *

Jack sat along the railing of The Hellraiser with Darion as Bianca steered the ship. "So why is it that she's the captain and YOU aren't? " Jack asked Darion.

"Cause he wants to be a 'Family man'." Bianca joked. Darion laughed at his sister's comment and looked at Jack. He spoke low so she couldn't hear them.

"Well, I just wasn't cut out to be the captain... I just didn't want to do this all my life. I mean don't get me wrong, I love being out at sea, but I do want to settle down one day. My father was a good man, but he was always busy with the being a pirate and he left us way too soon. We didn't have enough time with him. I don't want that. But Bianca, she was made for this kind of life. She was always the tough one. Put up a fight with everyone and anyone. Bianca doesn't let anything get in her way of what she wants. She isn't some stupid girl who turns her head when the opposite sex passes by, unlike me. There have been many men, sailors, pirates, and military men, who have heard of our father's treasure. Most of them trying seduce her to get to it. But she handle's most of them and I fight of the ones who get to me TRYING to get to her. So you must understand why I asked Leo to throw you off. "Darion reminded Jack so much of his good friend Will. He was always up tight but for all the right reasons.

"I understand...so no man has ever succeeded?" Jack had to ask. This could be helpful in the search for the treasure. All he had to do was let her guard down, think he was "different" from all those other guys and everything he wanted would be his.

Darion looked at him suspiciously and was already in his brotherly protective mode. "And if you think you'll be the first to win my sister over, you sir are terribly wrong." He walked away ticked off at Jack. Clearly he didn't trust Jack no matter how nice he was. Jack looked over at Bianca. She would be wrapped around his finger soon enough. Whether she was prepared for it or not.
