Disclaimer : I don't claim to own any of the characters from the Pirates of the Caribbean. Disney owns them. Go Disney!! :) Don't sue. I don't own the actors (even though I wish I did... ::begins to drool at the thought of Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom::) or anything like that.
I do however own Catharine "Black Cat" DeVries and the story. But I don't own Blackbeard. I don't know who owns him but I sure don't. He might be from that book Treasure Island or he could just be one of the more famous pirates of history that I just don't remember. Either way - I don't own him. Again - don't sue.
Oh, and a warning. Yes - it's already sinister and the story hasn't even started! Mwahaha! If you haven't seen the first movie ... there are of course going to be spoilers in this... so, go see it then read this. :)

Chapter 1 : Cabin Deal
______
The sea breeze lapped at his cheeks, it sailed through his jet black hair, and it howled over his hat. Just being at one with the ocean was good enough for this pirate. Captain John Blackbeard.
Blackbeard was one of the most feared pirates, considering that he just took whatever he wanted and killed without thinking about it, but other than that he was a very normal pirate. He followed the code perfectly and he never broke a deal. He considered his word one of the best of all pirates. Whether he be a bad pirate or not. It was his word that would win over who he needed most on his side to get what he wanted most. He would need the most cruel, most notorious pirate ever. Catharine "Black Cat" DeVries. Yes, a woman. How a woman ever became so cruel and so good with a sword was beyond him, but somehow it happened.
Her name was even more feared than his was. Blackbeard supposed that she looked quite manly to be feared above all other pirates. There might have been one that would have been above her but he was killed by the rogue pirate Captain Jack Sparrow. Captain Barbossa was spit out from Hell he was so evil. Most said that if Catharine were ever to die that she would come back, because Hell would not even have a place for her. But Blackbeard thought nothing of it. He needed her and he knew that she would gladly walk the plank for the opportunity that he would give her.
~~~~~~~~~~
"Ah, Miss DeVries." Blackbeard held out his hand and led the Black Cat into his cabin.
"Captain, you will call me Cat. I will not need to tell you again." Her voice was harsh. Not gruff and deep, just harsh and full of hatred.
"Indeed." He pulled himself a chair and motioned for her to take a seat.
"I understand that you are in need of my services. Why?"
*This lass goes right to the core ... fiesty this one. Exactly what I be needin'.*
"Yes. Ye've heard o' the Black Pearl, aye?" By the look on her face, Blackbeard figured that she thought it only a story. "Well, I need the Captain from the Pearl. His name ... Captain Jack Sparrow."
"I pity you. Believing in such stories, and to think I thought so highly of you, Captain." The Black Cat walked straight to the door.
"Then you must believe in the Isle of Spirits, milady, or is that just a stah-ry (story) as well?"
"Isle of Spirits?" She turned around to face him. "All right - I'm listening."
"Captain Sparrow be the only one to 'ave set foot on the island and lived to tell the tale. As ye know, it is a place o' myths and legends where pirates of long ago buried their loot of treasure. The obstacles kill anyone who gets too close to the treasure, and only one has seen it. A journey to the Isle be a feat of bravery for any pirate." Blackbeard reached into his desk and pulled out a rolled piece of parchment. "And I 'ave the map."
"You have my full attention. How much do I get of the deal?" She sat down and looked at the map, her eyes lighting up as she moved her finger along the paper.
"50 percent. Even. You and meself, Cat." He held out his hand and Cat willingly took it. "I'm a man of me word, Cat, ye be in good hands."
"I better be." Cat eyed the map again and then let her eyes drift up to Blackbeard's beady eyes.
*Her eyes are the color of the sea before a storm.* He smiled at her as she looked at the map one more time.
"How do I find this... Pearl?"

A/N : How 'bout it? Read and Review please. I'm trying my darndest to make them sound very pirate-ish. I know that I haven't made Cat all pirate-y, she's too smart and evil to sound like a pirate. She however does know all that lovely pirate slang, though. :)
Hope ye all liked me stah-ry (story) so far. Next chapter to be up soon and 'ave all o' ye fav'o'rat swashbucklin' pirates. :)
