A/N: I am really sorry! I just watched the movie last night, and I realize
how off I am on the characters! Like, in my fic, Jack is too serious and
civil. Sorry! And I am REALLY sorry if I seem overly dramatic, and if there
is no lightened bits in this story for now. But, I just broke up with my
boyfriend, and I'm a little depressed. Forgive me! I'll try to lighten up a
bit! I just really liked him.........

CHAPTER 11: A GOOD MAN, A GOOD PIRATE
"See, you can always trust a civil person to not be there, because that's the way it works with civilians. But, you can always trust a pirate to be there, because a pirate has the code to obey. Not that he always will." Jack said very fast, off on one of his little quotes again. "I mean, the Pirates' Code is more of guidelines, than actual rules." Jack said knowingly.
"Well, that is just wonderful," Will said, leaning on the ship's railing. They had been waiting for over an hour for Claire and Alex to come out, and they hadn't. During that hour, the ship had made a fast getaway from 'The Dark Revenge.' "Do you really think that it could take this long?" Will asked Jack.
"What mate? Oh, of course! Wonderful! Great! Lovely! Amazing! I wasn't listening to a word you said." Jack answered.
"I noticed."
Claire and Alex stepped out of the cabin, Claire letting go of Alex's hand and running over to her father.
"DADDY!!!" she yelled happily. Will embraced her for a very long time, just whispering things such as 'Oh, Claire,' and 'I love you,' and 'don't you ever do something like that again!' "Daddy," Claire said, "I can't breathe." Will loosened his arms around his daughter, but did not let her go. He wasn't sure if he would be able to; he missed her that much.
Alex stood beside Jack, watching. He looked up at his father, who looked back. The look in Jack's eyes said that some answers were needed. But Alex wasn't willing to give them, not yet. He knew that Claire needed to know some things, and he knew that Will knew too. Jack decided to take care of it.
He cleared his throat, and said, "Li'le lass, could I speak to you? Alone?" Claire let go of her father reluctantly, and nodded yes. Claire walked over to Jack and they went inside the cabin. Will rolled his eyes.

A young man of 16 years walked over to Caden. He was about 6 feet tall, with raven-black hair, and coal eyes. He was tanned from spending so many hours on the sea, in the sun.
"Caden Barbossa, this is either brilliance, or madness." His voice was smooth, and rather deep.
"Amazing how many times those two coincide, Jesse." Caden said, while leaning against the railing of the 'Dark Revenge.'
"Kidnap her? Again? Remember your boundary lines, Caden. She's only a little girl. You're becoming obsessed. Let her go. She's gone. She's Alex's." Jesse replied.
"She's Will Turner's daughter! That counts for something, right!?!!"
"Forget her! She serves only one purpose, and that is to release the curse. She's only one unimportant girl anyway."
"You cannot comment, you haven't seen her." Caden said angrily.
"Fine, fine. Let us wait for Joseph, and then we'll know what to do. He knows Claire better than the both of us. He *has* lived by her for all her life." Jesse responded.
"And no one suspects him?"
"No one at all. If he can get Claire to us, we will be home-free." Jesse grinned evilly.
"Perfect."
Caden was becoming a real threat to Claire. And it was all Joseph Norrington's fault. If he had never met Caden, and become friends with him, or Jesse, none of this would have happened.
"Where shall we meet Joseph?" Caden asked Jesse.
"Tortuga." Jesse replied, while staring at the water.
"Tortuga?"
"Tortuga." Jesse smirked.

"So, how do you know my father?" Claire asked frustratingly as she tried to tie a piece of cloth around a cut on her hand.
"We met, bou' 14 years ago. Here, let me," Jack said, while taking Claire's hand in his and beginning to wrap the bandage around the cut. Claire looked up at Jack.
"What were you two doing 14 years ago?" She asked. She had never heard the story about the curse, only about the curse itself. And that's when Caden told her.
She shivered at the thought of Caden. Yes, he had told her about the curse, and yes, he had helped her understand life better, and yes, she received her first kiss from him, but there was still something eerie about him. Like he knew something that no one else knew, but would affect everyone else.......
He was just scary. Period. She didn't like him, not anymore.
"Well," Jack started, breaking into her chain of thoughts, "your mother was kidnapped by pirates, and your father made a deal with me to save her. We went, eventually got her back, stopped the curse, and lived happily ever after. Me on me ship, and yer dad on his rock called Port Royal."
Claire just looked confused.
"Anyway, yer father's a good man. Good pirate, too." Claire looked up at this.
"What? My father is NOT a pirate," She said slowly and clearly, as if to make Jack understand. She looked incredibly angry. (We must not forget that Claire hates pirates, with the exception of Jack, because he's Jack, and everyone loves Jack.)
"He's a bloody pirate, scalawag. Accept it, lass."
"It's not true! My father is a good, sensible man who obeys the law."
"You know, I remember having this conversation with you father. Now Clarissa, EXCEPT that you're a pirate too. That is the way it must be."
Claire nodded her head yes, and closed her eyes, and sleep overtook her. Jack sighed, picked her up princess-style, and laid her on the bed. He tucked her in whispering,
"Will doesn't know how lucky he is to have a daughter like her."
A/N: Ok, it's REALLY late, so I'm going to go to bed. Hope you enjoy......and to keep the record straight, Joseph Norrington is EVIL. Not getting enough reviews......REVIEW!!!!!
