Jack walked into the cabin to see the woman lying on his bed, looking at one of his maps. Anamaria had bandaged her arm.
"Ello." Jack smiled as her head jerked up.
"Where am I?" She said icily to Jack.
"Ye be on the Black Pearl, I'm Captain Jack Sparrow. Now where did ye come from and why were ye hidin in me closet?!" Jack asked hurriedly.
"Oh. Hello Mr. Sparrow-"
"It's Captain luv."
"I apologize. I am originally from Port Royal but I came onto your ship from Tortuga where I was living with my mother. The town was raided and I escaped onto the only place that seemed safe, your ship." She said. Jack could see she was close to tears.
"Ye have a name and age luv?" Jack asked.
"Carina Adams, I'm 19." She answered quietly.
"Aye. Well yer on the most feared pirate ship in the Caribbean, so yer safe place isn't all safe. I spose ye be wantin me to call ye Miss Adams?" Jack said, a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
"Carina is fine." She answered shyly.
"Well we will be droppin ye off at the next port, ye might wanna rest." Jack explained to her. Carina nodded her head and as soon as her head hit the pillow she was asleep.
Jack finally got a good look at her. Her black hair was surrounding her head in spiral curls on the pillow, and Jack had to fight the urge not to touch it. Her eyes were captivating. As she spoke, Jack noticed them change from a stormy grey color to a bright light blue.
She had a very small figure. Jack would have been able to break her in half. Her face was perfectly proportioned, her eyes were almond-shaped, and she had full pink lips. Her skin was light and flawless without any marks except the beauty mark on the left side of her nose. Beautiful.
Jack forced the thoughts out of his head. Women only had one good purpose. The only thing that mattered in his life was his Pearl and rum. Women were nice to look at, some for more, but women like Carina, from Port Royal and such, were there for marriage and love. Love was the one thing Jack had given up on. He was in love once, but the girl left him for some rich eunich. So that was the end of love for Jack.
"I got me love right here." Jack told himself, getting up to get a bottle of rum.
Carina woke up at night. It was late because the man that said he was the Captain was sleeping on a chair. She immediately felt sorry for taking his bed away from him. Jack Sparrow, he said his name was. She had heard the name in Tortuga, but hadn't learned too much about him.
Carina studied Jack. He had on a white shirt, which wasn't exactly clean. A scarf and a belt were on his waist, and she could see a pistol and a compass in the belt. There was nothing special about his pants. Her eyes traveled up to his face. He had a mustache and his beard was separated into two small braids. His eyes were closed, but when she had talked to him before, she had seen that they were a dark brown, and the kohl surrounding them made them look almost black.
His hair was the most interesting thing about him. It was braided in places, and some of it was free but most of it was held back with a dark red bandana.
She could see various trinkets in his hair, beads, a bone, and other things she couldn't identify correctly. She stared at his arms, where his shirt sleeves were rolled up. She saw the P brand, specifying he had been caught and branded a pirate. His fingers were adorned with rings and she saw that many of them looked expensive. Around his wrist was what looked like a handcuff. She saw his chest, and there were two scars that looked as if he had been shot.
"Ever been told its rude to stare Miss Carina?" Jack said amused, his eyes still closed.
Carina blushed, she had been staring at him for a long time, and had come to the conclusion he was very attractive.
"Sorry."
"Don't be, I get it a lot." He flashed a smile and she saw that at least five of his teeth were either gold or platinum.
"Would you like your bed back Captain Sparrow? I'm afraid I stole it from you." Carina said shyly.
"I can share."
She blushed a deep red. She was finding that she was attracted to Captain Sparrow, and she didn't like it one bit. All her life she had been told pirates were vile, despicable creatures. This Captain Jack Sparrow didn't quite fit the stereotype.
"Oh, that wont be required, I can sleep on the floor or in that chair if you like." Carina answered politely.
She had only been in Tortuga for a month before she found herself on the Black Pearl, and fortunately for her, she was able to uphold her reputation and manners for that long.
"Like I said before, luv, I would like to share." Jack was enjoying her embarrassment. "Or ye can join me on the chair, if YOU like."
Carina thanked the darkness, her face was turning scarlet.
"Captain Sparrow, I don't appreciate what you are implying."
Jack loved the Port Royal people. They were so polite and would never think to be rude. This girl was exactly what he would expect from someone in Port Royal. Not to mention extremely beautiful. He would admit he was attracted to her.
"Well, luv, if ye don't appreciate it, ye can go sleep with the crew. I know that THEY would appreciate your company." Jack almost felt bad. Almost.
"Fine. I'll stay here and you can sleep in your own bed. I would hate to make you sleep on that uncomfortable chair all night. But please, keep your distance."
"Aye. Let me inform ye it gets horribly cold at night. Jus snuggle up if ye need the extra warmth." Jack smiled as she scurried away from him as he got into the bed. If she was any farther away from him, she would be on the floor. He yawned and fell asleep.
