Yeah I know, scorn me. I said that this chappy wouldn't take me as long but
it did. Okay I know that most people wont believe me now, but I promise to
get the next two chappys up before I go on vacation at the end of July. Now
let's get busy!
Summary: Jack met someone, in those ten years without the Pearl that became so obsessed with Jack she would kill anyone in her path to get to him. Now, 9 years later, she's back to claim him, except there's a problem, Jack's with Ana now. And she's not too happy about that.
Before I start, let me remind you I don't own any of the characters, settings, and so on in Pirates of the Caribbean, except for the ones I make up...sooner or later. I am not getting paid for this either, it is pure pleasure.
Enjoy!
A Deadly Obsession -Chapter 3- To Explain
Jack felt like the Black Pearl itself was resting on top of his head, crushing him slowly and painfully. 'What happened?' He tried to remember, but found it difficult with the tremendous amount of weight someone had placed on his skull.
Suddenly a sound pierced his ears, and a loud arguing voice rang throughout his head making him cringe even more. 'Wait... a sound. That's it. A sound? A scream." The recent past flooded into him, the storm, the rigging, Gibbs, Carter, Anamaria. 'Oh God, Anamaria!' It was her scream he'd remembered hearing, and the loud argumentative voice now was Ana's also.
Jack's eyelids flew back and he nearly fainted from the sight... or no sight at that matter. "Am I bloody blind!" Jack shouted his voice coming out raspy and hoarse for his first words aloud.
"Jack?" Ana's hopeful voice came from his left.
"Luv? Are ye okay?" Jack asked afraid that her answer was not going to be good.
"Ya bloody fool!" Jack could hear tears in her voice now, "Asking me if I'm okay. Yar the one that fell off the main mast, if not for your dumb luck ya woulda been splattered on your own deck! Can't 'ave much of a Cap'n if he becomes part of the ship!"
"I's all the same, can't be a Cap'n neither without any vision." Jack answered dejectedly.
"What?"
"I can't see a thing, I'm a bloody blind man!" Jack replied roughly. After a few seconds of silence, Jack figured he might have said it a little harsh. She couldn't have known and here she was crying over him and he already yelled at her.
Before Jack had a chance to apologies, he felt a cool hand reach and pull the great weight away from his head. He blinked as his cabin aboard the Pearl cleared into his view and a dark beauty leaned over him holding a damp cloth that must have been covering his eyes.
"I can... SMACK... see" Ana's hand left a huge red mark across Jack's cheek as he grumbled, "Ya aren't a'possed to 'it a man that's down, luv. That's low."
"No, 'itting a blind man... that's low." Ana smarted before turning her back and heading towards the door. "Get some rest Jack, I'll be back later tah check on ya."
THREE HOURS LATER
Jack, in three long hours of little resting, had managed to hobble across the room and into the cabinet where he stored the great supply of rum. Taking out a full bottle he leaned back and flopped into the large Captain's chair beside his desk that was littered in maps.
His ankle was swollen to a grand size and bruising around it had already begun. Although he had no idea, how he'd come up with such an injury, Jack could only guess it had something to do with his fall. 'Ahh well I'm sure the ball of sunshine will be back to explain soon enough.' Jack thought absently rubbing his soar cheek.
As if she had been called, Anamaria jiggled the handle to the cabin door and flung it open to see Jack in all his splendid glory. Glaring at him, she forced her way past the dozens of maps and books and marched right up to the Captain.
"Thought I told ya to rest, Jack?"
"Nay, I didn't 'ear ya." Jack grinned despite his pain.
"Then by all means, let me make it clear tah ya." Ana raised her hand menacingly and Jack cowered behind his rum bottle.
"No, no, no! Tha' won't be necessary, I believe I understand now. Getting rest, right now." Jack finished quickly standing to start his long journey back over to the bed.
However, Ana shoved him, non to gently back into his original position, "Not anymore, Jack, ye 'ad yer chance, now ya 'ave to tell me what 'appened up there in the riggin'. Why did ya freeze?"
Jack hadn't expected the question and he truthfully wasn't ready to answer it. So instead he decided to bargain for it, "First, luv, I want tah know wha' 'appened after I 'it the deck."
"Ya never 'it the deck actually. Like I said before, yer dumb luck saved ya. Ya got yer foot all twisted up in the ropes and it saved ya a few feet from cracking yer 'ead open."
"Very comforting, luv thanks." Jack replied, thinking how close he must have gotten.
"Now answer mine!" Ana demanded.
Jack still didn't want to tell her about Devyn, in fact he doubted that he ever would. He never should need to anyways. She was dead and Ana was alive, so it didn't seem like the two would ever meet.
"I froze because... because I thought ye 'ad fallen down the rigging." Jack lied easily.
"Don't play games wit me..." Ana said placing her hands dangerously on her curved hips.
Jack gave her an innocent puppy look, before answering, "I already feel bad enough about Carter, luv. The crew liked him and now he's gone cause o' me."
Ana stared into his eyes for a moment, feeling pity well up in her heart, "Jack..."
Jack interrupted her with a feigned yawn and asked as sweetly as possible if he might get some rest now.
Contemplating what to do, Ana realized that it was better if she simply left it alone, Jack would find a way to deal with it and if it was something he didn't want to talk about, then that is just what it was. A part of her however, yearned to find out for Carter's sake the real reason why Jack had lost all detection of his surroundings in those precious moments.
Helping the Captain out of the chair -with much grumbling from him about how he could do it just fine on his own- Ana swung one of his arms over her neck and got a firm grip on his waist.
"Easy on the goods." Ana tried to glare at him but her hair hung in front of her face, making it impossible to see anything.
When they both reached the bed, Jack eased himself down and scooted the best he could over, patting the spot next to him. "Join me, will ya?"
Once again Ana tried to glare at him, but couldn't help smiling softly as he lay, obviously uncomfortable, propped up on his arm, smoothing the sheets next to him.
"Alright, but let me finish things outside first." She stated.
"What's goin' on up there, anyways?"
"Nothing that needs ya now." She covered as quickly as she could. 'No sense putting him in a restless mood about the Pearl's heavy damage when he needs some sleep.' Ana thought to herself.
Jack sighed and fell flat on his back, wincing when his swollen ankle hit the wall. Closing his eyes, he heard the cabin door open then close as Anamaria went above deck.
And grinning, eyes closed, Captain Jack Sparrow fell asleep leaving consciousness behind.
ON TOP DECK
Gibbs met Ana the second she reached the last step of the poop deck aboard the Black Pearl. "The damage, Mister Gibbs?"
"I's quite bad, lass." Gibbs slurred together, "Ya sure ya want to 'ear it?"
Ana paused, trying to keep herself in control with this man, "If I didn't want to 'ear it... THEN I WOULDN'T HAVE BLOODY ASKED YOU!"
Gibbs leaned back as if the words had bowled him over, nodding his head Gibbs listed off the least damaged to worst damaged. He ended with the main mast, which was now only half a mast, considering that it and Carter were now lost to Davy Jones Locker.
"Right, well then, do the best ya can cleaning up and turn us around to Tortuga." Ana spoke loud enough that the whole crew, or the ones that weren't in the rigging at the moment could hear her.
"Aye, lass." Gibbs said before leaning towards Ana again and whispering in her ear, "'Ow's the Cap'n?"
"He's 'imself as usual." Ana couldn't hide the smile that lit her face and turned to go find the person she spoke of.
When she reached the cabin door, and stepped inside she snorted at the scene in front of her. Jack lay sprawled out across the whole bed snoring with his mouth open like he was going to catch gold in it.
"Move o'er ya lump!" Ana breathed in his ear while jabbing his arm continuously.
"Belay!" Jack mumbled swatting at her hand, however he rolled over and left enough room for Ana to squeeze next to him.
The second she closed her eyes, Jack's arm came crushing down on her chest and she hissed, "Ya better not ah done tha' on purpose."
Jack smirked only slightly, disguising it as a snore and went right back on sleeping happily.
