Just an Illusion
Chapter 19 – She's All That
Author's Note: I'm not writing a disclaimer, so sue me I don't care. Oh and remember usually I put a line of star, squiggly line, star, squiggly line but fanfic.net's new preview thingies stops me from doing that, I don't know why.

Josephine woke up as the sun was streaming through the window of Jack's cabin. She leapt out of bed, it was almost afternoon and Jack was still sleeping peacefully. The crew were bustling around noisily on the deck. Had both of them really managed to oversleep?
"Up, get up" shouted Josephine flinging the covers off Jack. "It's almost noon. I thought you always woke up early."
Jack groaned and buried his head under the pillow which was promptly snatched away from him by Josephine. She kicked him in the side, lightly, he still refused to budge.
She opened the door of Jack's cabin and strolled out. Every single member of the crew stopped what they were doing and stared at her. Josephine felt terribly self-conscious. People were ogling at her as if she was from another planet, and they made no move to look away. She tried to ignore them and walked to the kitchen feeling their eyes boring into her back as she walked.
AnaMaria was in the kitchen when Josephine got there, "Sounds like ye had a good night with the Captain eh?" she grinned handing Jo a bread knife.
Josephine raised an eyebrow, "Nothing happened, drop it."
"I'd expect you to say that. Come on, it's very obvious you know. You two up all night and getting up around noon in the morning, that happens to everyone of Jack's lasses."
Josephine snapped, she was not one of Jack's lasses, she was not a whore, she was different, and the crew would have to learn that sooner or later. The bread knife she was holding went crashing into the wooden wall an inch away from AnaMaria's ear. "I'm...not...one of his lasses."
Josephine walked out of the room fuming.

"There's a ship in the distance Captain." Gibbs ran back to Jack. A ship was heading towards them and fast, it was a pirate ship.
"They're catching up with us, the wind's on their side." Jack twirled the wheel in his hands. His loyal ship had never failed him before.
Fifteen minutes later the ship was barely fifty feet from the Pearl. It was Captain Moris. He was one of the most feared pirates in the seas. And his reputation with Captain Sparrow wasn't the best. Sparrow had killed two Moris' crew members. Moris said he would be back for revenge, and here he was.
"Fire." The Captain of both sides yelled. Josephine drew the sword that Jack had given her, she was afraid, very afraid. These were pirates, merciless pirates who wouldn't give a second thought to murdering her.
Moris' crew charged onto Jack's ship swinging from ropes and planks. Bullets flew overhead and canons blew into both ships. Nobody had taken much notice of Josephine, she was just a lone figure in the corner, unnoticed by anyone. A pirate, one of Moris' crew was backing towards her, he had his back to her, he was dulling with one of Jack's crew. Josephine elbowed him hard in the temple and he fell unconscious to the ground.
"Thanks' lass, I was in a tight spot there."
Josephine smiled, that was easier than she thought. But she thought too fast. Advancing towards her was none other than the Captain of their enemy. She looked quickly towards Jack and the other members of the crew. They were all busy in duel, nobody so much as looked at her.
"Look what we have here...one of Jack's whores." That was the second time Josephine had been thought as a whore in one day. She wasn't going to stand it. She braced herself, ready for the sword fight.
Moris was quick but Josephine was quicker. She was nimble and jumped away from his sword. Her dueling skills weren't as good as his though, she couldn't make a move to harm him, only dodge, but she couldn't keep doing this. She would tire eventually.
At exactly the same time as Josephine aimed a kick at Moris' hand he was holding the sword with he wacked her sword so hard that it flew out of her hands. Her kick also sent his sword out of his hands. They were both swordless, Josephine's preferred way to fight.
Moris lunged at Josephine but she ducked and slammed herself into his chest sending him stumbling backwards. Extremely annoyed at this move Moris sent a kick at Josephine but she grabbed his ankle and kicked the shin of his other leg, He fell to the floor.
Moris was much larger and stronger than Josephine, and he was very angry that Josephine had sent him flying backwards onto the floor. He got up and slammed himself into Josephine, this had a much larger effect on her than her to him. She crashed into the railing behind and Moris grabbed her neck, pushing her against the railing. The railing was only about a meter high and Josephine was 'bending' over it.
"STOP!" boomed Moris in his huge voice. Surprisingly everyone froze, mid- duel. Jack suddenly realized that it was Josephine being half strangled by his enemy's Captain.
"Looks like lasses was always ye weakest point Jack." Moris sneered and Josephine winced, his breath was less than pleasant.
"Drop your weapons Jack." Ordered Moris. "Or the lass goes." Josephine sighed, this was not the first time someone had ordered Jack to do something when she was held hostage. She wasn't that weak, not someone who was incapable of fighting for themselves. She grabbed hold of Moris' shoulders and the two of them flipped backwards (Moris forwards) and fell into the deep blue yonder below...
