The air was no longer humid and muggy. No longer was the sun blazing down at them. Yes, the sun was still shining, but...it was quite nice weather. Warm enough to take a swim, if you desired to, cool enough for you to sit in the shade and be just fine though. There was a soft breeze which filled the sails, but if this ship was another other ship, it would be slowed. But this ship, wasn't like any other ship on the seas.

It was the Black Pearl, the fastest on any ocean. It was captained by Jack, then a mutiny broke out against him, and it was then captained by Barbossa. He was terrible, even 'Hell spat him out' (Well that's what quite a few would say). Barbossa marooned Jack on an island, with a single shot in a gun. But he forgot something about Jack, which was that he's Captain Jack Sparrow; most of the times drunk, but had tricks up his sleeves, clever pirate... So, of course, Jack got his ship back, (With a little help from Will and Elizabeth).

He blinked a few times, coming out of his thoughts. He could see Will and Elizabeth sitting on the deck at the bow of his ship. A few crew members were at their own duties. Jack rolled his head, cracking his neck. Straightening his stand, he turned the wheel slightly to the left.

"Mr. Sparrow." A voice cooed from behind him. Maud moved her hands to his shoulders, rubbing them.

Jack kept his eyes focused on the waves ahead, "Aye?" He could feel her breath on his neck.

"Where I want to depart is just a bit farther ahead, say about twenty minutes." She said softly, "And then, that is where I'll leave you be."

He desperately wished his ship was even faster, Maud would be off quicker then. Jack let out a breath and nodded, "And Camille?"

"Will be you...If you choose her to be."

Jack quirked an eyebrow, "Why wouldn't I?"

"I don't know... You're a pirate, I thought, maybe you'd have other things more important to you... Like tending to you beauty of a ship, and not to a pest of a girl."

"She's not a pest...Camille isn't a pest." He said testily.

"So, she's important to you?"

He nodded, "She is."

"The most important thing to you?"

Jack paused then nodded slowly, "I think so..."

"You think?"

"That is what I just said, isn't it?"

Though he wasn't looking at her, he could tell Maud was smirking. She dropped her arms to her side after a moment, "I'll leave you be..." She called over her shoulder, walking somewhere to the stern.

Jack watched her for a moment, "To think... I was going to marry her." He felt a grin spread out across his face, "A good choice to run..." He muttered to himself. Jack fell silent, his mind thinking about what she asked him. Was Camille the most important thing to him? Really...Was she? She was very important to him, but the most important...?It was still hard to say if she was or not. For a while he thought about this.

"Slow the ship now... We're pretty much there." Said Maud from behind him again.

Jack sighed and cleared his throat before yelling, "Slow the Ship!" After a few moments the ship was slowing, then it seemed to come almost to a stop.

Maud wet her lips then smiled, "Yell for your crew."

He scolded Maud but shouted, "ALL HANDS ON DECK!" Jack turned to see his crew gathering before him, Jack looked at Maud, "Get Camille."

She slightly bowed her head, "Of course..." She looked at one of her crew, one with a scar from his left eye to his chin and said briskly, "Get the girl." The man nodded then turned and disappeared from sight. He came back carrying Camille. The man set her down before Maud then took his place again. Maud smiled down at Camille then held her upon the wooden railing on the ship.

"What are you doing?!" Jack shouted, making a leap for Camille, but Maud had a sword raised to him. Jack stopped at stared at the sword, then down to his sheath, then back to the sword...It was his own.

Maud had an amused smirk on her lips, "Throw Anamarie and Elizabeth in the brig... I will not have any other women besides me on the deck of my ship.

"Your ship?! It's MINE!" He yelled.

Maud looked at him, "As soon as he get off this ship, it's mine..." She looked to her crew , "I said THROW THEM IN THE BRIG!" Two men grabbed Anamarie and Elizabeth, pushing them across the deck towards the ladder type of steps that lead down to it. Will instantly ran for Elizabeth, but another man stopped him, "Not you William." Maud said with a smile, "I've taking a liking to you... Ye can stay in my quarters though..." The man pushed him into the captain's quarters.

Jack stared at Maud, "This is my ship! Why would I get off?!" He shouted.

Maud smiled, "Oh yes, your crew will also be mine...Well you need to."

"And why is that?!" Jack demanded.

"Well, you don't need to get off I suppose...You could stay on the ship, and still keep it to yourself...but...That means little Camille here would drown."

He continued to stare at her, "WHAT?"

Maud shrugged, "You could stay on the ship while Camille drowns, or jump in to help her, but, by doing so...Your lose your ship." Maud let go of Camille, and gave her a nudge. Camille fell over the edge, her scream shattering the air until a loud splash of water. "So choose. The girl or you ship..." Maud looked over the railing, "She's having quite a time keeping her head above the water...Oh, she was under just now...Poor girl."

Jack ran to the railing, and shoved Maud out of the way, jumping over it into the water. He swam towards Camille, who was struggling in the water. Jack put an arm around her and she instantly put her arms around his neck tightly, afraid to let go.

Something flew over the railing, and it hit the water. He instantly grabbed it, but paid no mind to what it was... Already, his ship was beginning to move on, Maud's voice could be heard shouting commands.

Jack started to swim towards the land, holding onto Camille.
