Chapter Two: Blackmailed
Shelly inhaled a deep breath as she watched Allie take Jack upstairs to a room. She smoothed out her dress and pushed her way through the pub.
Ignoring lewd winks and whistles, Shelly finally reached the foot of the stairs. Glancing around her, she slipped upstairs without problems. It took Shelly several embarrassing tries until she found the room with Allie and Jack.
Allie was standing in front of Jack, her hand held out demandingly. Shelly knew she was waiting for her money. Jack looked like he was thinking hard about something as he stroked his thin mustache and beard, which was braided into two sections.
The noise Shelly made caused Jack and Allie to look at her. Jack's jaw dropped as he recognized her as the girl from the alley and looked from her back to the supposed prostitute in front of him.
Allie growled deeply. "Michelle!" she screamed. Shelly winced. They only used each other's whole names when they were made at each other. "I can handle myself! There is no reason for you to storm in here when I'm busy!"
Jack looked at Allie, suspicion growing on his face. He looked at the top of her chest, where a ruby necklace similar to Shelly's hung. He closed his mouth and continued to listen to the sisters' conversation, waiting for some useful information.
"I can't let you trick him, Allie. He saved my life," Shelly whispered, tears starting to fill her eyes. A blank stare from her twin allowed Shelly to continue. "One of the men that you swindled mistook me for you. He dragged me to a back alley and tried to take advantage of me," Shelly motion towards Jack, "but then Captain Jack Sparrow of the Black Pearl saved me. I can't let you take his money. Captain, consider this as a returned favor."
An awkward silence filled the room as tears poured down Shelly's face. Then Allie leapt at her sister and embraced her, sobbing. "I'm so sorry, Shelly! In my heart, I knew something like this was going to happen. I should have stopped a long time ago."
Normally, Shelly would have rubbed in the fact that she was right, but she just wanted to hold Allie as tightly as possibly. A few seconds later, Jack pulled them apart. He had a huge smile on his face. He finally had some information he could use.
Jack looked at Allie. "Yer not in the... pleasurable company business, are ye?" he asked, brushing Allie's hair back.
Allie shook her head. "No, Mr. Sparrow-"
"Captain Sparrow."
"CAPTAIN Sparrow. For years I've taken money beforehand and then drug the man for a quick getaway," Allie admitted. She knew the gig was up. Her sister had almost been killed for something she didn't do.
Jack looked the girls over. They looked pretty much the same. Shelly's skin was slightly lighter from staying in the pub, away from the sun. Her eyes were soft and full of welled up emotions. She was very curvy, but didn't appear to be very strong. Allie, on the other hand, had more of a tan. She was just as curvy, but had more muscle. She held her face up stubbornly, and her eyes betrayed determination.
Jack smiled despite the emotional girls before him. "Follow me," he commanded softly, grabbing each one's wrist into one of his hands. He guided them out of the room and downstairs. It was quite a sight to the customers. They thought that he had managed to acquire the company of both of the girls. They cursed his luck, not knowing what was really going on.
He led them to a table of pirates that Shelly recognized as part of his crew. Jack let them stand at the head of the table as he sat down next to the man with the long sideburns. He was trying to have a private conversation, but they couldn't hear each other of the din of the bar. They ended up having to yell. Allie and Shelly could hear a conversation that wasn't meant for their ears.
"Gibbs, I think I've found who we're lookin' fer," Jack yelled into the man's ear.
"The lasses? I thought that we'd be lookin' fer young lads," the man muttered.
Jack shook his head. "So did I. But these gals have the ruby around their necks, and they be the only twins that I've seen on Tortuga."
Gibbs shook his head. "Bad luck ter be havin' women aboard. Besides, what do ye think will get them ter come with us?"
Jack smiled wickedly. "I have some information against them."
Gibbs looked at Jack questioningly, but Jack waved his hand. "We'll settle this later. But know, I'd like something ter drink." Jack looked at the girls, who sighed loudly. They reluctantly left to serve Jack and his men.
Unbeknownst to Jack, the girls had heard everything that was said. They discussed it as they made drinks.
"Why would they want us to come with them?" Allie asked as she filled a mug with beer from a keg.
Shelly fingered her necklace. "It has something to do with our rubies," she replied.
"Maybe they want to steal them. Do you think they know about our powers?" Allie whispered, grabbing her ruby protectively.
"I don't know. If they do, they didn't let on. Let's just keep what we can do to ourselves, OK? In the mean time, don't let Jack get to you. Like he said, he has information on us," Shelly said, filling up the last mug.
Allie looked at her twin, causing Shelly to roll her eyes. "They know about you! Sparrow will use that against us!" Allie's eyes widened in understanding. If he told people about her, more men would come after them.
They served Jack and his crew and stepped back as they viciously attacked the drinks. A few minutes later, Jack tossed a few copper coins to the girls. They pocketed them and waited for everyone to finish their drinks.
When everyone was finished, Jack dismissed everyone except for himself and Gibbs. He beckoned for the girls to come stand in front of him.
Much to Shelly's dismay, he pulled her onto his lap and grabbed her waist, preventing her from getting back up. Allie sat on the side of Jack that wasn't occupied by Gibbs. Shelly's heart raced as Jack stroked her side.
"I seem ter have a problem, lassies. Them necklaces that ye be carryin' are of some importance to me. Since I would feel like mud if I tried ter take them from ye, I feel that ye should accompany the necklaces," Jack stated, roughly groping Shelly's thigh.
Shelly felt a blush creep up on her face. Allie glared at her sister in jealousy. Shelly finally spoke up. "Accompany our necklaces? Are you sure that's the only reason you want us with you?" Shelly barked, slapping Jack's hand away.
Jack blew Shelly's hair away from her ear and whispered into it. "Maybe."
Shelly struggled against his grip, but didn't win. "No. We won't take one step on your boat. Our necklaces won't leave our bodies," Shelly stated stubbornly.
Jack sighed. "I didn't want to have to use information against you, but..."
Allie slapped Jack. He looked at her. "I don't think I deserved that. I haven't even said anything, love."
Allie glared at him. "But I know what you're going to say," Allie muttered, trying to help Shelly get off of Jack's lap. Jack only tightened his grip on her.
"Are you sure?" he whispered again, "I'm givin' ye one last chance. Come with me and I won't have ter blackmail ye." Jack looked into Allie's eyes.
"Hell no," Allie shouted.
"Fine." Jack stood up, knocking Shelly off of his lap. She landed, rather painfully, on her bum. He grabbed Allie's wrist and yanked her off of the bench so that she was standing up. "Can I have everyone's attention?" Jack shouted, ignoring Allie's attempts to free herself.
When the pub had quieted slightly to listen to the infamous captain, Jack continued. "This lass here is me friend, Allie. She looks like a nice l'il wench, but she isn't. Does anyone recognize her?"
Several grunts raised above the din in the pub. "If ye recognize her, chances are she conned ye; took yer money and drugged ye without a tumble."
The men who had acknowledged Allie started to growl. They couldn't really remember what had happened due to the drugs, but they remembered waking up and feeling extremely unsated. Shelly tried to stand up, but Gibbs held her down firmly. Allie didn't know what to do, but Jack continued talking.
"If ye want revenge, I don't blame ye. The little whore was about ter con me. Come on, come show her how ye feel."
Half the bar stood up. Allie had forgotten just how long she had been conning men. She looked at Jack helplessly. He looked at her with regret written all over his face. Allie was upset, but she knew that he had no other way of convincing her. She only had one way to defend herself in a situation like this.
Allie closed her eyes, calling for help. Before the first man could reach her, dogs of all shapes and sizes ran into the bar. Barks and growls filled the room, caused by the snarling canines. There was a few seconds of silence, then the dogs pounced on any man that was headed towards Allie.
Men were screaming like little girls as they were tackled to the ground. It would have been a funny sight, but Allie was trying to save her life. Shelly, adrenaline pumping through her veins, managed to break free of Gibbs' grip so she could stand next to her sister. She grabbed Jack's free hand.
"Please, Jack! We'll go! Just don't get any of us killed," Shelly pleaded, trying to look as miserable as possible.
Gibbs grabbed Shelly by her shoulders and Jack wrapped his arm around Allie's waist. The pirates led the twins out of the pub. No one even saw them leave. The sounds of braking dogs and screaming men faded as they approached the docks.
Tears stained both of the girls' faces, and they felt more coming as they saw the ship that they were to board. It was a huge ship that shadowed the waters ominously. The sails were black and tattered.
Jack leaned in towards Allie. "Jest so ye know, I wasn't going ter let them men lay one hand on ye. I don't like ter see women abused by men. It killed me ter have ter expose ye like that," he whispered into her ear. Normally, Allie would have done something sultry back to him, but that part of her life was over. It had come crashing down on her, and it was all Jack's fault. She tried to pull away from Jack's grip, but he maintained his strength.
They boarded the ship after being inspected by several guards. Gibbs left Jack alone with the girls and went to help set sail. Jack led the girls down a flight of stairs. He went past the crew's bunks and arrived at a dead end with three rooms. One was for Gibbs, one was for a female crew member named Anamaria, and the other wasn't being used. Jack took out a set of keys and unlocked the room that didn't occupy anyone.
"This is where ye'll be staying," Jack muttered. The girls looked around the room. It was pretty ordinary. The walls were white with several scattered paintings. A large window was on the right, and an armoire was on the left. A large four-post bed was in the middle of the room.
"I want to know what's going on," Shelly demanded.
"Explanations will come soon enough. I hope that our meeting today won't effect what ye think of me. Jest tryin' ter get ye ter see things me way. By the way, we haven't been properly introduced," Jack stated, holding out his hand.
Shelly shook it politely. "Michelle Adams, but call me Shelly."
Allie reluctantly followed her sister's actions. "Allison Adams."
Jack shook her hand, but didn't let go. He pulled her close to him and hugged her close. "I was serious about not letting anyone touch you, love," he muttered, looking into her eyes.
Shelly spoke before Allie could say something rash. "I'm sure she has forgiven you, captain, and I have, too. Hopefully we can start over tomorrow."
Jack smiled and released Allie. He clasped his hands together and bowed slightly as he exited the room. Shelly locked the door behind him and followed her sister into the bed.
"We need to stay on his good side, Allie. Besides, I think it really upset him that he had to do something so inconsiderate," Shelly whispered, hugging her twin.
Allie nodded. "I shouldn't have reacted like that. It was reckless and could have exposed us. You know, we can never go back to Tortuga," she said with a yawn.
"I know. We'll get things sorted out. Tomorrow is another day," Shelly whispered as she let the nagging sleep finally consume her.

Yes, I know. Jack did something mean. But that's OK, because he'll make it all better soon, if you get what I mean. Everything will be explained soon, and fun is up ahead. Please review.
