Anamaria groweled as she woke up.

"A litlle moody aren't we, didn't sleep well?" Will asked.

"Aye, definitly not. Bu' who would with someone like 'im snoring like a bear." She pointed at Jack who layed with his hat over his eyes, against gibbs. "It would be a suprise if 'e 'asn't already alert the damm royal fleet because o' it!" She said anoyed.

Will smirked.

Then the sound of a squeling door, enterd the room.

"We 'ave t' bring 'em up on deck, cap'n orders." One of the crewmembers said to the guard, while he threw the keys.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On deck...

Jack and the rest were dragged over with their hands tied down to Josephine.

"We need to talk, follow me." She said while gesturing towards her cabin. She pulled only Jack along with her.

When they are inside, she takes her coat and her effects of. And looks around in closets and in all the cupboards.

"Did ye 'ad a good night sleep?" She asked while grinning, still searching for something.

"A' ,yes it was very comfy."He smiled slightly.

Josephine is still looking and throwing books and maps after her, jack almost got hit. Her cabin is a complete mess by now.

"Euhmm d' ye want some help with tha', luv ? " jack asked dodging another book.

"AH ! Here it is!" She turns back to Jack with a picture and some maps.

"That's wha' the 'all seeing eye looks like', wha' we need before we get to the treasure." She shows him a picture of a round jewel with emeraldgreen diamonds around it and an egyptian eye painted on it.

"Uhu, i see. tell me wha' does this 'ave t' d' with anything about the treasure?" Jack frowned at the picture.

"Everything, it's what we need in order to get contact to the goddess Nepthyss."

Jack looked at her questionally "..... you've lost me on that one, luv."

Josephine sighed and rolled her eyes. "Of course ye don't know the legend behind it, yer captain Jack Sparrow, only interested in the treasure."

Jack gave her a look of 'what else did you expect?'.

"Fine, i'll tell you..."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LEGEND OF NEPTHYSS:

"Poseidon, king of the ocean had many mistresses and were all very beautifull woman."

We see him laying down on his bed, surounded by woman who are feeding him grapes.

"But Zeus founded that he still, because he was such a mighty god, should settle with a queen whorty of the sea. And that's how he ended up asking -wel rather claming- the hand of the Egyptian goddess Nepthyss. Now for a while it seemed that they were happy and all went well. He built a underwater city, called Atlantis for her, where they ruled over the seacretures."

They sit at their throne, Nepthyss dressed in a blue dress that sticks to her body decorated with green and turquoise jewels. And her long straight black hair in front of her shoulders.

Poseidon also dressed in blue, holding in his hand his ceptor and in the other her hand.

"But before Nepthyss became a queen she was allready in love with a young farao Seti, and they kept seeing eachother in secret. Because for there love, they were willing to risk life it self."

They site outside on a bech kissing, while tears fill her eyes.

"But Poseidon had noticed that she went away a lot untill late in the night. Afraid of what might happen and his power, they made a plan that they would kill him together. So Nepthyss made a potion that would make her husband mortal for a while, and so on a midsummernight they killed him with 6 knifestabs, one for each year they were married."

Nepthyss keeps on stabbing him, screams fill the air and blood colours the water of the sea...

"Zeus was off course outraged that she had killed his brother, so he put a curse on her. She would stay immortal and remain in the underwatercastle for all iternity, but a mortal could kill her if he showed her the light of 'the all seeing eye'.

She sits on her knees in front of Zeus, crying and asking him for forgiveness.

"Scared that the people of his village would seek revenge on her, because they were involved in a conspiricy. Her lover stole it and hide it in one of his temples."

Seti his servants carry a golden box inside the temple and seal the door.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Now, no one really knows where it is. But i've been searching for years and i believe it's somewhere here...."

She points at a spot the South of Tortuga in the middle of the ocean.

"...somewhere here?" He raised his eyebrow. "your not even sure? tell me is it really worth battling an immortal goddess and going through all tha' trouble. For a treasure of wich i'm sure tha' there are hundreds like tha', not to mention a lot easier t' get?!"

"Yes it is THE treasure, the biggest one and i've searched long enough to find it !"

"Well i don't know about ye, but i'm not sure tha' i want to go through all this trouble for it, i just want my ship back!"

"For your information Jack Sparrow...!"

"Captain, luv." He mumbeld.

"You are the one that has to do me a favor, 'cuz if it wasn't up to me you would have been at the depts of the ocean !"

She groweld. "Are you always this grumpy in the mornings?!"

"No, only when i've lost my ship. Bu' then again ye wouldn't know, would ye !" he yelled sharply

"UNBELIEVABLE, it's been ten years! Jack what we had was a mistake will ye just let it go!"

The intire crew was now staring at her and Jack in their cabin. She gives them an evil glare and slams the door.

"Tell me d' ye still plan on embarrassing me further in front of my crew?!" She yelled with her arms folled in front of her chest.

"A' yes that's all wha' ye care abou' isn't it? Your lil' precious reputation !"

"For the moment YES !" She sighed and took a deep breath trying to get calmer "Jack you don't know what it's like to begin your life again from scratch and how difficult it was to became what i am today."

They were silent for a moment, untill Jack broke it.

"...Why did you do it? ... Why did you leave?"

"Because i had no choice, i was poor like i said and i had to do a lot of things that i didn't want to, to end up like this."

She looks at the ground for a moment, then back to him.

"I was 17 and when we met things were finally working out for me, i became captain of the Sapphire, had a lot of money, was feared and for once i was happy. And then you came along... and unfortunatly i fell in love with you.You know that we couldn't be together, you know that fighting is a lot easier when you fear nothing and have nothing to loose. I knew from the moment i woke up next to you things would become different and i was scared that i would lose my touch ... become weak."

She was fighting against sobs now, with tears in her eyes.

"And above all i could have never given you what you wanted. Ever since i can remember i learned not to love, in order to survive and when i did.... i paniced."

She swallowed the lump in her throat and started talking again.

"...So i went away and left you a black pearl, so you would think that you were like everybody else. But believe me you weren't, you really weren't. Don't you see i wanted you to hate me, it made things easier..."

After a short silence, Jack opened his mouth to say something. But he got interrupted by Pilfer, her second mate.

He knocked hard on the door.

"Excuse me cap'n, but we're running ou' on suplies here. I suggest we pay Tortuga a lil' visit."

Josephine kept staring at Jack with sad eyes.

"Cap'n?" Pilfer asked again, still knocking.

Josephine shook her head. "Euhmm, yes we'll set sail for Tortuga first thing tommorow."

"Alrigh' then." And he went of back to his duties.

".....Josephine." Jack whispered, but was cut of by her.

"I think it woud be better if you 'd go for now..." She looked down at the floor and started putting her maps and books back in the drawers.

"Josephine, i...." jack tried to talk.

"No, not now. Please just go." She said still not looking at him.

He nodded and left her cabin. She stopt looking and sat her down, giving a big sigh. ' This isn't going to be easy.' she tought.

A/N:

Another update, i have already written the three next chapters. But i will wait for some reviews first.

Oh and it's not a parody: he named his ship after the girl he isn't really in love with his ship, but with the girl the other Black Pearl ( ah you know what i mean).Otherwise i would have put it down in a humor genre. I would never write a parody, no offence it's just not my sort of story, but thx for offering help.

But it's my first fic, and it's definitly not easy to write in another language. Thx for the review.
