Amera had her bags with her, and everything else she owned. She was leaving the Black Pearl.
Jack walked up to her confused, "Amera! What are you doing?" She looked at him straight on, "I'm leaving Jack. I have to start over, you know that," She put her belongings down and brought Jack in for a hug, "You know that I need to go, I'm going to make a new life, the gold will help me get a new ship, a trustworthy crew. Just please don't-" Jack looked at Amera with his dark brown eyes. "Don't look at me that way. I'm going Jack."
Amera picked up her belongings and started to walk off the ship, then stopped and turned. "Unless there's a reason for me to stay." Jack walked up to her in silence. "Jack, do you love me or not?" Everyone was silent, even Will and Elizabeth. Jack and Amera looked at each other for the longest time. Then finally, Jack spoke.
"No, I don't love you." Amera closed her eyes in pain, she didn't cry, she didn't whimper. "Goodbye, Jack." She turned and walked off the ship, and off the docks past Will and Elizabeth. She kept walking up and over a hill, until she was out of their sight, not ever looking back.
And still, Jack was on deck, standing there watching as she walked out of his life.
~*~*~*
Jack woke up suddenly, breathing heavily as he sat in the spice room on the merchant ship. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and tried to relax. He had had that dream of Amera ever since the day she walked out of his life. And he let her do it too.
No one on the Black Pearl that day, not even Will and Elizabeth knew why he had let Amera go. But Jack knew. It was true that he had loved her, and he didn't want her to leave. But, he also knew what Amera really wanted. The entire time he spent with her, he figured out what she wanted to do. Amera came to Jack with a broken heart, she had lost her family, her ship, and her love. It had been hard for her, and she did avenge her family and even got Jack and his shipmates bundles of treasure. But, in the end, she still had nothing, only Jack to cling to. Jack realized that day on his ship in Port Royal that Amera needed to start over, try to get back on her feet. He knew if she had stayed, it would only weaken her.
And more importantly, it would weaken him. For his entire life, Jack had been on his own; his father died when he was just a lad, and he had only a few memories of him. So he was independent, and all his life he never worried about anyone but himself. Until she came along. Amera changed everything, but Jack couldn't handle the change. He didn't want the love of one woman and one woman only. He loved all women! So, feeling it was best for both their sakes, he let Amera walk off his ship into another life.
Now after finally getting over his love, he had a bigger problem; he had lost everything! His crew, his gold, and the Black Pearl! It was all gone! And it was his own fault too, if only he hadn't...
Shouting came from above. The men on the ship were running around; Jack stood up and walked over to a small window in the corner of the room. "What's all the fuss about?" He looked out into the ocean, seeing nothing but turquoise water. Then suddenly, a ship came into his view. A pirate ship was preparing to rob the merchant ship!
"Bloody hell!!!" He gathered his affects and headed to the back of the ship. He made his way to a cabin and ran inside, looking for a big window. He looked to his left and there was a window, big enough to let him through. Taking a deep breath, he ran for the open window and jumped out, splashing into the teal water.
He began to swim for the pirate ship, it wasn't the Black Pearl, so he knew that someone on that ship had to be an acquaintance of his that might help him out. He swam up to the ship, grabbing the anchor's chain ready to climb up.
Before he did, he looked back at the merchant ship, which was being boarded by the pirates who were taking everything in sight. Then Jack looked up the anchor at a window near by.
So, he began making his way up the chain to the window. He grabbed the window sill and heaved himself up and into the ship. He fell over onto the solid floor and coughed. Then Jack looked up, finding it to be a dirty cabin where some of the pirates slept. He walked out of the room, looking around the hallway. There were pirates everywhere, walking and shouting all doing different things. So, Jack was relived; he would fit right in and no one would notice him. He could easily look about to find someone that could help him out.
~*~*~*
Hours after the crew had robbed and blown the merchant ship to pieces, they all were joyfully eating in the galley. Jack merrily grabbed a plate of food and a mug of rum and sat down at a crowded table. He gulped down the rum and ate the food. Then he went up for more rum.
Jack cautiously looked around the room for any familiar pirates he might know. But he didn't recognize anyone. Just then, he saw someone looking at him. A man in the corner smoking a pipe was staring. He had dark wavy hair and fierce green eyes. The man was about Jack's age, and it seemed like he was almost as strong as Jack. But Jack ignored the man and gulped his rum.
But then out of nowhere, two beastly men grabbed each of Jack's arms and led him out of the room. Jack protested, "Hey, I promise this is me only mug of rum!!" But the men lead him out anyways. The green eyed man smiled as they took Jack out of the galley.
They walked quickly through the ship, tightening their grip on Jack. "What in the hell do you want with me? I haven't done anythin' wrong!" He shouted. One of the men spoke, "One of our shipmates saw you swim over from the merchant's ship, Torin suspects you are here to sabotage us. Our Captain will decide what to make of you!"
Abruptly they stopped in front of double doors and swung them open stomping inside. They began to take away Jack's affects: his weapons, coat, and even his hat! They let go of him and he looked in front of him. There was a round table in front of him with only one candle in the middle of it, the room was dark besides the glow. Then, he saw a chair across from him with someone sitting in it. He couldn't see who it was, he really couldn't see anything or anyone it the entire room!
Then, he realized it must have been the Captain. So he took in a breath about to speak, but he was too late. "Do you realize that you have boarded my ship without permission? Do you not know what ship this is?" Jack became puzzled, "No, sorry but your muscles forgot to mention it." He looked back at the two men were standing, waiting to strangle him. Then he looked back at the Captain, "Which pirate ship is this?"
"This is the Avenger mate." Jack knew of the Avenger, there was recently a mutiny on it. Captain Archer was killed and the crew took over. So, Jack stepped into the light of the candle curiously, and asked, "You must be the new Captain then, I need your help mate." Just then, Jack shut up. He felt like he couldn't breathe. The Captain had moved into the light when Jack revealed his face. "The last time you needed help from me, you were in the town square of Port Royal, hanging like a dummy without a cause." Amera grinned at Jack who stood dumbfounded, he couldn't breathe.
That's all for now folks! I love to keep you on your toes! Ch.4 will be up in two weeks!!
