~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Jesline awoke, feeling fuzzy and lightheaded. She noticed that she was on her stomach, naked, and that it hurt to move when she tried, moaning because of it. A thin sheet covered her lower back, but it still hurt having it there.
Jesline moved her head to examine the room she was in. Her hair was in the way, so she lifted an arm to move it and gasped loudly has her back hurt tremdously. It was strange to her, she did not recognize it. It was lit by the sun that was coming through a small window across from her. There was a table with two chairs, cabinets, various items and treasures. Pirates, no doubt.
She saw a man sitting next to her, with his legs crossed and propped up on a small dresser and his hat lowered over his eyes. He was sleeping, or so she thought. She noticed that it was the same man who carried her to this room and cared for her, 'but where was the other one?' she thought. The one that made this man change his mind about throwing her overboard. All the time Jesline was thinking, she did not notice that two charcoal eyes were watching her.
Jesline tried to move out of the bed, but only managed to get into a crawling position. The thin sheet fell, covering only her lower legs. She let out a loud groan, closing her eyes and her head lowered, for back screamed of the pain she was causing. She looked down at the pillow and tried to wash away the pain, forget that it even existed, but she then heard a voice speak to her.
"I wouldn't be movin', luv, if I were you. It took Gibbs a lot of hard work to stitch you up. He would hate it if you ripped them open." Jack said to her. He watched her ever sense he heard her gasped. When she began to get up, he realized that she was going to try and get out of the bed. Jack then knew he had to stop her, which he did.
"What ship am I on?" Jesline whispered, not looking at Jack.
"What makes you think you are on a ship?" Jack asked, knowing it was probably a stupid question.
"Because of the sounds of the ocean outside and the waves hitting the ship." Jesline explained, closing her eyes as she was hit with another wave of pain, most of it center at her back and right leg.
"You be on the Black Pearl, luv." Jack said. He moved over to her and helped her move back down on to her stomach, taking care not to touch her back or right leg. Jack moved the sheet up to her lower back, knowing any weight on her back would hurt a great deal.
Jesline moved her head and laid it on the pillow, facing Jack. Jack moved her hair to one side, so she would not hurt herself again. She looked at him and saw that he had black hair. Some of it braided, some of it beaded, some of it flowing freely. She noticed that he wore a red bandanna across his forehead. He was very handsome, as Jesline studied him. He wore a white shirt, somewhat dirty and stained with her blood, and the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. His arms were nicely muscled and tanned. 'So must be his entire body' Jesline thought, but from what little was exposed to her she did not make assumptions. He also wore a vest, black pants, and black boots. His fingers were jeweled in various rings and they moved every time that he spoke, waving this and that.
Upon her examination, Jesline realized that he had said that she was on the Black Pearl. The man she was staring at was Jack Sparrow, Captain of the Black Pearl. She had heard stories of the this man and his ship, but none of them really scared her. There was only one thing that she feared and she prayed that it would never find her.
After Jesline's examination of Jack, she looked into his face and saw that he was staring at her, smiling.
"Did you like what you saw, Jesline?" Jack asked.
"I was studying you." she said softly.
"Why were you studying me, luv?"
"Trying to see if you are friend or foe."
"For the time being, I am your friend. Do you feel up to eating?" Jack asked. Watching her closely for her kind were a deadly sort, but she was beautiful. Her brown hair had been cleaned, and was a light brown color that shined from the sunlight. It was in waves on one side of her head. Her eyes, though, were captivating. A beautiful Caribbean, water blue. Her body was nicely shaped with curves, full breasts, and a lovely face. Full red lips, small nose, and beautiful eyes. Jack just couldn't take his eyes off her, but had to when she spoke.
"Yes, I do, Captain Jack Sparrow." she replied, watching him with careful eyes. She knew of his reputation with women and she would not become his next "lady", as they said. When she was well enough, she would leave immediately, and hide in the shadows until she had what she wanted.
"So you know who I am, luv." Jack said, smiling with pride
"I know of you, Captain. Nothing more." Jesline replied coldly.
Jack went over to the table, picked up the tray and placed it on the little dresser. He handed her a piece of bread, which she reached for and ate very slowly as not to disturb her body. Jack watched her, while she ate and noticed she was making very slow movements. 'She must be in lots of pain' Jack thought and then mentally hit himself thinking,'Of course she is. She got beaten to within an inch of her life.'
When Jesline finished the bread, she could not eat anymore. It hurt to much. She buried her face in the pillow closing her eyes and tried to calm her body down. The pain was so much. She then turned to Jack, with tears in her eyes, "Could you give me some rum?" she asked softly with pain in her voice.
Jack immediately went over to the table, grabbed a bottle of rum, and handed it to her. Jesline took it and drank half the bottle. She handed it back to Jack who placed it back on the table. When Jack looked back at Jesline he noticed that she was looking at him again.
"Did the rum help, luv?" Jack asked quietly, kneeling down beside the bed looking deep into her eyes.
"Yes." Jesline whispered.
"Care to tell me what you were doing on my ship?"
"I do not know how I got here. All I remember is a room and darkness. After that nothing. I just woke up when a man asked me if I could move." Jesline said closing her eyes as if trying to remember more, but could not.
"The man who asked you that question was Gibbs, one of my crew members. I know you told me your name, but who are you?" Jack asked, but he already knew the answer to that question. The marks on her back told him so.
Jesline breathed deep, trying to bring the pain down a little so she could talk. When that was done she looked Jack in his eyes and said quietly with no emotion, "I am Jesline Sheria, an assassin for the Devil."
Author's Note ~ Thank you for your reviews. They were very nice. I will try and post a chapter a day. If there is anything missing or wrong please let me know. The next two chapters will be about Jack and the crew deciding whether or not to trust Jesline. It will be very interesting.
