It had taken about an hour for the Black Pearl to catch up with Captain Briggs's ship. Jack had ordered that they wouldn't fire until fired upon, in some weird hope that they could get by without a fight. That hope however was dashed when the ship fired upon them before they were even in the range of their cannons.
"Ana, lock yeslef in me cabin. I don't want ye t' get hurt." Ana looked appalled at this order and shout back at Jack.
"No way Capt'n. I'm fightin' I'm fine. I wont get hurt."
"How d'ye no that?"
"I don't, but then you could get hurt as well and your not goin' t' go sit in yer cabin and let others do the fightin' are ye." With those last words Ana moved across to fight some of the other ships crew before Jack could get a word in edgeways.
**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The Black Pearls crew had been fighting the opposite ship's crew for about 2 hours, before Jack and Ana got side-by-side fighting off the captain of the other ship. Jack's arm was slashed from the collarbone to his wrist and Ana Maria's shoulder was bleeding.
"Capt'n is it jest me, or is it ALWAYS one of us two that gets hurt." Jack fought off another blow, and Stabbed Captain Briggs in the stomach before replying.
"It's not just you Luv." As the opposite crew began to realise what had happened to their captain a sea of 'parley' could be heard across both ships and Jack smirked, before calling out orders for the ships crew to be locked in their brig.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Jack stood at the helm of his ship, drumming his fingers to a beat he had in his head. He watched his crew scurry about repairing any damages and going about their duties. His eyes spotted Ana Maria helping, and he called her over.
"What do ye want?"
"Ana, d'ye mind telling me why ye still have blood seeping through yer shirt, when I told ye to get your wound cleaned and bandaged over 2 hours ago?" Ana shifted about avoiding Jacks gaze.
"I sort of didn't get it bandaged or cleaned..." Jack sighed and motioned for Gibbs to take the helm. Dragging Ana Maria along with him, he entered his cabin, and went to get the rum and bandages, muttering something about 'always have to do things meself.'
"Ana d'ye want yer arm t' get infected?" Ana avoided the question.
"I noticed Summers wasn't fighting. Keeping daddy safe are we Captain?" Jack winced at her words. She was annoyed with him, he could tell that now. He started to wonder why he hadn't picked up on it before, but he noticed Ana's glare and decided to answer her question before he got a slap for 'ignoring' her.
"No I wasn't keeping 'daddy' as you put it safe. He wasn't fighting because he had knocked himself out with rum. Will you please keep still?" Ana stopped struggling against Jacks grip, and hissed as he started to put the rum on the wound. Unlike when he had cleaned her back he wasn't sympathetic.
"Can you release the death grip you have on me please? Its not as if I'm going anywhere... you locked the door." Jack loosened up his grip on Ana's arm and tried to stop himself from grinning.
"There all better. Now don't you feel better?" Jack mock cooed at Ana, receiving a slap for what he was doing, as well as a glare that could kill. "Ye know ye gotta' stop with the glares. There goin' t' kill someone one day." Ana Maria just stared at him. She was in a very bad mood and he was just making it worse.
"Can I go now CAPTAIN?" She spat the last word out as if it was dirty. Jack winced again, as he forced her to sit back down on the chair as she got up.
"Not quite yet. I want t' talk t' ye." Ana raised an eyebrow wondering what it was he had to say, but before he could start, there was a knock on his door.
"Aye?"
"Capt'n Summer's wants t' talk t' ye." Gibbs was talking through the door, as Jack hadn't gone to unlock it to let him in.
"Cant it wait." Ana mumbled something about it being a bad time to talk and went to get up when Jack pushed her back down again.
"He says its urgent capt'n." Jack rolled his eyes, getting up he pushed Ana back down into the chair again. "Ye stay here, I still want a word with ye." Ana put her hands up shaking them as if to say 'ooh goodie'.
Jack stepped out of his cabin, locking the door and Ana Maria inside behind him. Blinking as his eyes adjusted to the sudden brightness, he walked towards the Cabin that held his so called Farther.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~**~*~*~*~*~*~
Looking around, Jack scrunched his nose up in disgust. He was told his cabin stank! Empty rum bottles littered the floor, and Jack could smell the distinct smell of vomit...
Lying on the bunk was his farther, drunk as a skunk.
"What d'ye want?" Jack wasn't in the mood for talking to his farther, as he wanted to tell Ana something before he lost his nerve.
"Aye, son." Summers put a hand on Jacks shoulder to help him get up. Jack shook it off. "We seem t' be coming up on the little island. Now I don't actually think that what were looking for is here. Actually I no what were looking for isn't here. But I thought we would look anyways."
"Where's the next island then? I'm not in a mood for games summers." Jack was glaring at his farther. He began to wonder why he was going along with this wild goose chase. When his farther didn't answer him he shouted at the stunned man. "WHERE THE HELL IS THE ISLAND WITH THE JEWLES?" The old man snarled at his son.
"Don't ye shout at me son."
"I am not your..." Jack caught the mans flying wrist as it came towards him, to thump him. "Son, and that weren't clever. Now ye tell me where the island is, or I kill you." The mans eyes went wide.
"South. It's an island that no one but me lives on. It'll be there. I no as I left them there. Now please let go of my arm." Jack dropped the arm without hesitation, and left muttering thanks.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
He walked up to his cabin, and remembered Ana Maria was still in there. He was surprised he still had a lock on his door and that she hadn't blown it off. Jack started to wonder what he was going to say to her as he couldn't say what he would of before. He unlocked the door, and at first didn't spot her...
