Chapter 40
"It Would Be So Easy"

I sat on the rail that lined the helm. I took in the sunny day, the heat of the afternoon sun pouring over the entire ship. I looked over to Jack who was steering the Pearl toward our destination. By our calculations we were to be docked in Port James by midday tomorrow. I took in a deep breath of fresh air, exhaling it slowly. I watched the horizon for any sight of land. There was nothing but ocean in front of us. I heard the sound of heels on the old, weathered floorboards of the deck. I looked over to see Valencia walking toward the helm.

'Great' I thought to myself, looking back to the horizon.

"Jack." Valencia said, standing at the top of the stairs.

"Captain Jack Sparrow." Jack reminded.

A smirk came to my face as he said this. It was about time he made her see he was the captain.

"Sorry, Captain Jack Sparrow." She corrected.

"Wha do ye need, Val?" Jack asked, keeping his sights on the horizon.

"I'm done with what Gibbs told me, is there anything else?"

"Get started on dinner, then." Jack instructed.

Valenica shot me an icy glare before nodding, taking one look back to Jack.

"I need to speak wit ye Captain Sparrow, in private. When ye get a moment."

I looked over to Jack, waiting for what he was about to say.

"If ye 'ave somethin to say, go on and say it."

"I will, when we are in private."

"Yer not getting him into private, so go on and say wha ye want to say." I said, continuing my icy gaze at the girl, watching her every move.

"I don't like the way Captain Robin's has been treating me." Valencia said, crossing her arms over her chest as she stared at Jack.

I continued to stare a hole through her, imagining throwing her overboard as the sharks came up to take her to Davy Jones' locker.

"That's to bad, Val. She's captain as well, ye will do wha both of us say."

"Your not my parents." She stated.

"Maybe not, but if ye don't do wha we say. We will..."

I cut Jack off with a smirk and a smart assed comment. "Throw ye overboard and let ye swim wit the fishies. How tempting is that, eh?"

Jack tore his gaze from the horizon as his deep brown eyes came to rest on me. "Aye, ye will be swimming wit the fishies!" He said nodding in agreement, his body moving back and forth.

She sighed heavily and stomped her way toward the stairway. A smirk slowly ran over my tan features as I looked at Jack.

"Gibbs get up 'ere." I heard Jack call.

I looked back over the ocean as I heard the man come running to the helm. "Aye, Captain?"

"Take over the 'elm. I'm goin' to rest in my cabin." Jack instructed as he let Gibbs take over.

"Ye want to join me, luv?" Jack asked, giving me a suggestive grin.

I smiled at him "I'm goin' to 'ave a talk wit Gibbs, I'll be following ye in a few."

He nodded and swayed his way down the stairway. Once he was out of earshot I stood from my seat on the rail, my hair blowing about around me.

"Gibbs, wha do ye make of the girl?" I questioned

"I'm not sure, as of yet. She seems to be a hard worker and an awfully good cook." Gibbs smiled

"That maybe so, tell me something, is it juss me or is there sumthin.. Funny, about her?"

"Funny?" he asked

"Somethin doesn't feel right wit her, like there's something she hasn't told us." I looked to Gibbs who was pondering it.

"Maybe it's juss me." I shrugged.

"I'm sure there's nothin' to worry 'bout Captain, but if I notice anything "funny" I'll be sure to let ye know."

I nodded my thanks. "Aye, good. Keep an eye on her, juss to be safe."

"Anything for ye, captain."

I smiled. "I'll see ye later."

I walked down the stairs, looking at the many men who were hard at work. I stood at the door to the cabin for a moment, before entering. I slowly entered the cabin. Then I noticed what was going on.

Jack stood with his back to the back wall, his hands up in a surrounding motion as his eyes continued to get wider and wider. Valencia stood dangerously close to him, muttering something inaudible to me. I watched her run her hands over his chest.

"We could leave Ravenica behind, then it would be you and me, forever." She muttered

"It would never work out, Yer to young fer me. And I love Ravenica. Ye will 'ave to come up wit something better than that." Jack said.

"I'm older than ye think, Jack."

"And how old would that be?" he questioned, narrowing his eyes at her.

"I'm 17."

"So ye lied to us? But, why?" Jack asked

I shot an I-told-you-so look at Jack.

"Because I knew you would take pitty on a young girl and take her along. I could give you more than that wench ever could."

I quietly made my way in. she obviously hadn't heard me. Jack had noticed my presence as a small smile played on his lips. I grabbed the blonde hair on Valencia's head, dragging her out of the cabin.

"Let me go!" She protested.

My eyes began to glaze over as I pondered what to do with her. Anyone who had the guts to put their hands on my man would have to pay the price. I didn't take kindly to anything of the sort. She had been pushing on my last nerve since she arrived and this is where it was going to end. I forcefully threw her, by her hair down the stairs; she landed on the deck with an astounding THUD. My breathing was quick, as every man on deck had looked to see what was going on. I slowly walked down the stairs, watching Valencia grab her stomach with her right hand and her head with the other.

"Now ye listen here, and listen real good." I said, my voice low as dangerous tones entered. I narrowed my gaze, my eyes turning to a fire as I eyed her.

"Ye may 'ave gotten away wit this bull shit before, but, I will not stand fer it."

I watched her spit at my feet as she tried to stand. "I'm not trying to get away wit anything."

"Then what the bloody 'ell are ye tryin' to do?" I questioned, crossing my arms across my chest as I continued to stare daggers through her.

"Well Jack must have liked it, he didn't pull away." she smirked

"Ye see, Jack, he doesn't have the nerve to hit a girl. I however 'ave no problem wit it."

I watched her balled up fist came flying up as her right hand tried to strike me. I quickly backed up and gave an evil smirk.

"So wha ye want to fight this out? I'll take ye down in a minute, ye don't stand a chance."

"I can take you." She said, awfully sure of herself.

"Now ye listen here, I am yer captain, ye do as I say. I will not take this bull shit any longer, when we get to Port James, yer ass is bein' left there." I yelled, feeling the rage boiling in my veins. I felt a stinging sensation in my leg as her leg had come up to kick me.

My lip curled, as I looked her over, feisty one she is. I slapped her, hard across the face. She fell backwards onto the dark planks of the deck. The men all let out a gasp as she laid there, her hand resting on her lip that was now bleeding. I grabbed her by her wrist and pulled her to the rail, I grabbed the back of her pale neck and held it over the rail.

"Try that again and ye will be seein' them fishies and sharks up close." I said, watching trickles of blood drain and land into the water.

"I see no sharks." I grinned, waiting a few moments. I watched as the shark fins came to the surface, they smelt the fresh blood and were looking for a piece of it.

"I will not give ye another warning, next time ye try to dispute our authority I'll 'ave no problem shoving ye overboard."

I watched her eyes widen as she tried to jerk back. I kept her head over the rail. Until Jack came over and grabbed my wrist, pulling me so she could get free.

"You have no right to talk to me like that!" Valencia yelled

"Oh but don't I?" I asked, trying to get my wrist free from Jack's grip.

"Valencia get below and get to work!" Jack demanded.

I kept my stare on Valencia, wanting to jump her, pick her up, and throw her over board. She nodded slowly and made her way below.

"We need to talk." Jack said, pulling me along by my wrist.

A look of confusion ran over my face at his words.

"What are ye guys looking at? Back to work!" I sneered as Jack pulled me along. Jack pulled me into the cabin and practically slammed the door. I eyed him as I sat in my chair, wondering what was running through his mind.

"I should be telling ye we need to talk." I said, crossing my legs in front of me while cross my arms across my chest. I moved my jaw slightly still feeling the rage that lay inside me.

"What the bloody 'ell did ye think ye were doing??" Jack yelled

"Wha ye wanted her grubby little hands all over ye?" I retorted

"No, But, ye can't go around beatin' on the girl." He said, lowering his voice as he calmed down.

"She touched me first Jack, and besides I want 'er off the ship. There's something I don't like about 'er, She's already lied about her age, whats to say she 'asn't lied 'bout everything else? Something's gonna happen and it will be because of 'er, I can feel it."

he sighed as he looked at me. "Maybe yer right, she's given ye nothing but grief. Truth be told if I 'ad to choose ye or 'er, id choose ye in a second."

I smiled slightly as my rage seemed to melt away as I looked at him. "How do ye do it?"

"Do wha?" he asked

"I can be pissed as 'ell and yet, one look at ye and wha ye say and it juss seems to disappear." I said, looking to the floor.

He walked next to me, lifting my chin with his fingertips so I would look at him.

"I'm not sure, luv. But, I'm damn glad I can." He said, a small smirk forming on his lips.

I sighed as I looked at him. "wha do ye suppose would 'ave 'appended 'ad I not walked in?" I asked

"Nothing would 'ave 'appended. As I told 'er I luv one woman, and she's standing before me."

A small smile formed on my lips as I looked at him.

"Ye sure did a number on 'er though." Jack smirked. "I don't think she will be looking to fight ye anytime soon."

"I don't think I've ever been that angry, I juss wanted to rip 'er heart out." I stated.

"That sounds like it would be messy." He said, rather seriously, his arms flapping about beside him. "Did ye want to rip 'er 'eart out cause ye are jealous?"

"I'm not jealous! I'm only protectin' wha is mine." I stated, matter-of-factly with a grin.

"So yer claimin' me?" he asked

"I guess I am. Do ye 'ave a problem wit it?"

"Not at all, luv."

I chuckled at Jack and rolled my eyes. We continued to Port James, I didn't see Valencia for the rest of the night, nor the next morning. Which I was very thrilled with. If I saw her I would probably do something that I may regret later. I only hope she learned her lesson and wouldn't try anything else.
