Sorry it took so long to add a new chapter...One reason why it did was...I was busy, and two- I was having a writter's block



Voices were heard shouting in the distance. Jack stepped onto the docks and looked around. There was a drunken man sleeping against a tree. The man reminded Jack of his own self and he frowned at this. He turned back to his crew, "All of you stay here...I'll be back soon." Jack called roughly.

They all nodded, and Jack walked onto the land looking up at the crescent moon hanging in the dark night sky and the stars lazily lying around it. He wondered if this was even the right place, maybe they were still sailing on. Maybe they were at another port... What if Maud had left Camille behind someplace? In the wild?

Jack pictured the sweet little Camille crying, trying to find her way through the dense forest in her simple white gown he found her in. He imagined he gown torn, and dirty. Her beautiful face covered in dirt. With knots and leaves and a few small twigs caught in her hair. He pictured her sitting at the base of a large tree, crying in fright, all alone... Jack shook his head, trying to get this thought from his mind.

He continued to walk on. If he came to this Port for just fun, and not in search of Camille...he would be, most likely, drunk and trying to impress the women with stories of being a pirate. He would be going on and on about fighting for his ship back. Or he'd tell them the story of when he was maroon on an island and how he got away... He waited in the shallows for a few days, to have the sea animals get used him. Then he'd catch four sea turtles, tying them together (Using the hair from his back as rope, in case you were wondering). Jack would then use them as a raft, getting himself off of the island.... This story was, of course, not true. Sure he was marooned, but he was picked up by a ship...but the women didn't know it was made up, so everything was alright.

But no, he was not hear for a good time. He was here to find Camille. His Camille. Jack tore himself from his thoughts, hearing a voice. Jack stopped and walked past a building, into a clearing. In the center of the clearing was the angel of a girl. Sweet Camille. Instantly, without thought, he ran to her and picked her up,hugging her. Camille hugged him back and whispered, "She's here."

Jack stopped and lowered Camille to the ground, but he held onto her small hand, looking around. "Where?" He muttered, still looking around trying to see.

"Behind you." Said the voice of the pretty, yet awful Maud.

Jack turned around to face her, "Well there you are, love!"

Maud smirked and whistled as she folded her arms. A group of men came out of the shadows, stepping around them, "Jack, Jack,Jack...Do you honestly think I'd let the girl wander around the town...Without any of my crew falling her around? How dumb do I look?"

Jack shook his head and shrugged, "How much so? Do ye really want me to answer that?"

Maud scolded and raised her hand, slapping Jack hard across the face. Camille let out a cry seeing this. Maud continued to scold, keeping her eyes on Jack, "Someone get the girl." A man with a bandana on his head stepped forward, and picked Camille up, pulling her hand out of Jack's. Jack took a step to stop him but he saw that Maud had raised a gun to him, and he stopped.

Jack let his arms drop to his side, staring at Maud, "I remember you..."

She smiled, "You do Jack? Well I'm glad you do... After all you left a week before we were to be married. You didn't break my heart as much as push me over the edge... I could look past your drunken nights, I could most times look past the girls I'd catch you with...But you just had to step over the line,didn't you, Captain Sparrow?"

He stared at her. Jack remembered, he couldn't handle to be married when he was twenty-four...It was too big of a step, and Maud wasn't too charming either. Also, he couldn't handle letting his ship go, the one he just got for himself a year before. So, he ran... After a moment, Jack found his voice, "So you kidnapped the girl? Because of that?"

Maud shrugged, "Somewhat... But that's not all of it...I mean, I also want the Black Pearl for exchange...For now though, I need your ship..."

"Well, I also need my ship, Maud."

"No...I need a ride to France,along with six men of my crew... If you bring us to France, you'll have Camille back to you again. Safetly, that is if you want to take the jump...If not, well she'll have to down below the waves..."

Jack looked at Maud, "Which men?"

She snapped her fingers and six of the strongest stepped forward, one of them being the one with Camille. "These men...To make sure there isn't anything 'odd' going on, on the ship while we're on it...Savvy?"

He looked at Camille again then nodded slowly, "Aye..."
