Woo hoo! I'm finally updating this story! And I am sooooooooooo sorry about not doing it before now. This is the first night in a while I haven't been doing something like a paper or what not. Don't hurt me for the delay s'il vous plait? *cringes as reviewer glare*
Disclaimer: I don't own anything of POTC. I know we all wish we could. Although Jack is still hidden in me room. *evil laugh*
Jack: It's not that bad, being locked in her room. It has pictures of me and some groups called the Monkees and Beatles.
Angie: It's nice having company. *winks saucily*
Jack: *smirks* Been keeping her busy I 'ave.
Angie: *laughs* He's insatiable! On with the story mates!

Where we left off in Chapter 3
~@~
Min fell asleep that way not knowing that Jack had felt what she did and after she fell asleep put his arm around her and held her throughout the night.
That night Min had none of the nightmares that had plagued her for so long.

Chapter 4
~@~
While Min slept dreamlessly, Jack on the other hand experienced a really disturbing dream.
He was in the middle of a large, grassy field. In the middle of the field was a circular area surrounded with wild flowers. As he stood in the center of the circle a light breeze caressed his body bringing the scent of a woman, one he'd smelled before.
Looking beyond the circle Jack watched as a shape came out of the shadows. It was the woman who he'd smelled. As he watched she made her way towards him, seemingly gliding over the dewy grass.
"Jacob, my love, I am here now. Take me and make me yours forever!" She whispered for only him to hear, her arms stretched out in welcome.
"My name is Jack, Mignonne, not Jacob." He corrected her as he saw her face and recognized her.
Her husky laugh filled the air, "That is your name now, but it used to be Jacob. And my name isn't Mignonne, it's Millicent or Milli if you like."
"How can you not be Min, you look the same as her?" He demanded as she stopped to stand in front of him in the circle.
"Jack, remember when you first saw Min? She was irresistible to you, and seemed familiar. That is because the both of you were lovers once upon a time ago. But as me and my love Jacob, so you and Min are destined to be together because of this connection.
Jack's eyes widened with surprise, "'Destined to be together'? You must be joking?"
Millicent's eyes lit up with mirth, "Of course you are destined. You and Min have been destined to be together for a thousand years. Jacob and my tale must be played out to the end finally through you and her. Long ago we were split apart by a man with evil powers. Because of him we have been searching for each other these long years. The only way we can be together is when our twins are together. By twins I mean that everyone one has a twin or a very similar other. As it would seem you are Jacob's twin and Min mine. You and her are meant to be together whether you like it or not."
Jack's mouth opened and closed like a fish's, but nothing came out of it.
Milli smiled as she watched Jack silently wrestle with the information she'd just given him. She walked up to him and laid a hand on his forearm. He looked down at her questioningly.
"Don't worry Jack, in time things will make more sense. You'll see; fate has a way of clicking into place no matter what may happen to us. Shhh, don't say anything. I must leave now; she is coming to meet you soon. Wait here and she'll be here soon. Goodbye for now Jack," Milli said and turned to leave. "Min won't remember this meeting because it's in your dream, but she'll be experiencing the same type soon enough."
And with that Milli walked out of the circle, disappearing into the mist that had appeared. Jack stood there confused, Min was coming? How was that? And they were meant to be together? He shook his head to get his thoughts straight, with no luck.
Still thinking he didn't hear Min walk up behind him until she tapped him on the shoulder, startling him out of his thoughts.
"Hello Jack, my love, I know you are surprised that our destinies coincide, but it is true." Min said softly as she lifted her hand to his cheek.
Jack took hold of her wrist and held it there, "So it would seem Mignonne." As he looked down at her she smiled in a slow, easy way that sent ripples of need, flurries of unknown emotions through his body.
All his confused thoughts fled as he lowered his mouth to her luscious inviting one. Soft, warm, ripe, Min's lips answered his; then drew until everything he was, felt, wished for, was focused there. Bewitched, beguiled, bedazzled, he went deeper, no longer sure what path he was on, only that she was with him.
Jack could smell the grass and flowers beneath them, sweet and pungently dewy; scents of summer like the mist that curled above their heads. He suddenly felt the urge to touch her, every inch of that slimly rounded body that had attracted him to her in the Tortuga tavern. Jack knew he'd never be able to look at Min in his dreams or out of them normally any more. His need for her was like rum-or so he told himself.
Reluctantly, Jack broke the kiss, and ran his hands over her hair.
"Min, I, I…." Jack struggled to put into words what he suddenly felt. Speaking of that, what did he feel? Lust, happiness, and dare he think it…love?
"You don't need to say it yet Jack, I can wait. We've waited a long time to be together, what's another bit," Min said and wrapped her arms around his lean waist. "Time will tell my love, time will tell."
As she said this, the mist became thicker and swirled frantically around them. Out of it came a menacing laugh that sent chills down his spine. He knew the voice; it was the voice of the one who had split Millicent and Jacob apart and now wanted them split. Afraid, Min hugged Jack closer and buried her face in his chest. Jack squeezed her protectively and looked around to find the evil doer.
Suddenly a large shape appeared, it was the evil man, Augustus Morales.
"Come to me Mignonne, my pet. You belong to me." Morales hissed.
Min whimpered when hearing the evil man's voice making Jack glance down at her, "Hush, he can't hurt you. I be here for you."
"You think you can stop me Jack Sparrow? Think again. Once again I am going to split two love birds up," Morales sighed then started towards the couple still standing in the circle of flowers. "Now, come to me Mignonne. It is time." He reached out into the circle and grabbed hold of her hand, then wrenched her out of Jack's arms.
Min screamed, "Jack! Don't let him take me!"
Jack reached out to take her back but couldn't get her, "Min! Morales you bastard, don't take her, she's mine!"
Morales laughed harshly and continued to drag Min away and into the mist. Soon they would be lost from view.
Jack started after them but was stopped by some unseen force. Unable to do anything he watched, suffering, as Min was taken.
With an anguished cry Jack fell to his knees. His hands fisted in rage at his side.
Min was gone forever.
