A/N: Well here I am again, I realize that I am updated very shortly after I last did, which is good in some ways and maybe bad in others. I don't know when I'll be able to update after this because of school, so I decided to give you two chapter in a week! Maybe even three, but don't get your hopes up lol. So yeah here's the sixth chapter, it's a bit longer I think so have fun!

Disclaimer: I think I put one of these at the beginning but I'm not sure, oh well just so we're clear on this – me no own! Except for Captain Heidi Kessler and everything on her ship (not Jack on the occasions when he is on her ship though... I cry). I don't care if you use her AS LONG AS YOU TELL ME FIRST!!! If you steal her, I will be violent. Otherwise just tell me.

Thank you to the people who reviewed my last chapter! I'm not doing individual things this time but the next time I update I will!!! Don't worry you will see your name up here again... just not now... be patient! lol

Recap-

"How are ye supposed t' find a jewel tha' small?!" Heidi cried, the snake's eye was very tiny it was hard to believe anything would fit in there.

"Tha' ye'll 'ave t' wait t' find out," Jack said and sat down in a chair, resting his feet on a table.

"So I guess I 'ave t' go wit' ye then, aye?"

"Aye."

Heidi rolled her eyes heavenward and sighed, this was going to be the longest journey of her life.

Devil's Cruelty Chapter 6

"We leave in the mornin' then 'cause I don' wan' this bloody thing on me a second longer than it has t' be," Heidi sighed and looked Jack square in the eye.

"Aye well tha' means ye better haul ass back t' yer ship so ye can get yerself ready," Jack replied and took a swig of his rum.

"Aye," Heidi grumbled and made her way out the door and towards her own ship. She really did hate Jack some, actually, most of the time, if not all.

"Captain Kessler," Sly stood up from what he was doing and nodded at her.

"Sly we're goin' on an adventure (A/N: Finally!) make sure tha' all o' the supplies are loaded by tomorrow mornin'," she said briskly and walked into her cabin.

"But Captain!" he called after her. She didn't answer and slammed the door behind her.

"What was that all about?" Sly muttered as he hurried off the ship to go find the crew. As he walked by the Black Pearl he could hear Captain Jack Sparrow barking orders at his crew and he saw some of them scurry off the ship after he was finished.

"I wonder wha's goin' on," one of the crewmembers said.

"Somethin' t' do wit' Captain Kessler, I saw 'er walk off the ship in a huff," another replied.

'That's interesting,' Sly thought, 'I wonder if it had something to do with the bracelet?'

morning

It was early, way before sunrise in fact, but Captain Kessler had more important things to do than lie in bed that morning. She quickly got dressed and walked out on deck; she looked over at the Pearl and noticed there was no one on deck yet. There wasn't anyone on hers either but that was about to change.

Heidi walked over to the stairs that led to the crews' rooms and grinned, there was a bell sitting beside the door that the cook used for dinner time.

Heidi grabbed it and ran down the stairs, "Wake up ye mangy cads! Time t' move yer lazy arses up on deck! Move, move, move!" she yelled and clanged the loud bell as she walked up and down the hall. She could hear noises coming from the rooms and saw some of the crew rushing out of them and up on deck, as they passed her they gave her dirty looks.

When Heidi was satisfied that everyone was up on deck she went up and grinned at them, "Glad t' see ye all awake!"

They grumbled and glared at her. The bell had scared the hell out of them, it really was extremely loud.

She clanged it again, "ye like tha' do ye?"

The grumbled again but they were cut short when they heard someone else yelling.

"What in the bloody 'ell are ye doin Kessler?!" Ah, Captain Jack Sparrow.

"Wakin' up me crew Sparrow!" Heidi grinned at him, although she could barely see where he was because it was so dark outside. The only light there was came from the buildings across from the docks.

"Well ye don' need t' wake up mine too!" he yelled coming over to the railing. Now she could see him, and he looked angry.

"Ave ye forgot Captain?"

"Forgot 'bout wha' Kessler?"

"Our adventure we be goin on!"

Jack looked blank but then his face lit up, "Ah yes, the adventure. Lemme see tha' bell Kessler."

Heidi grinned and walked over to his ship, handing him the bell. Pretty soon both crews were on Heidi's ship, all with angry thoughts and faces. Heidi and Jack were standing in front of them.

"All right ye mangy dogs, we be goin on an adventure," Jack stated but not as loudly as he had when he woke them up. Thank God.

"We? As in us an Kessler?" someone shouted from the back.

"Aye, ye and me. Got a problem wit' tha'?" Heidi said with a threatening voice.

"No."

"Is it true ye fed yer first mate t' the shark's wit' 'is tongue for bait," another shouted.

"Tha's bloody enough! Listen t' Captain Sparrow, no more questions ye stupid cad!" Heidi yelled, "and yes it is true," she finished sweetly.

Nobody said a word after that.

"Anyways as I was sayin'," Jack rolled his eyes, "we be goin on an adventure wit' Kessler an we're leavin' this mornin'. I trust ye got all the supplies in last night, except for me rum which ye 'ave t' get after I'm finished..."

"Mine too!" Heidi cut in.

"Make sure we're ready t' go right after sunrise, an no later," Jack barked, "Cotton, Ana go fetch me some rum."

"Aye, Stinky an Tie go wit' them an fetch me rum too," Heidi nodded her head towards Cotton and Ana.

"Aye, aye Captain," they all replied and took off. The rest of the crew was getting ready to set sail and some were finishing loading the supplies from last night.

"Sparrow I need t' talk t' ye," Heidi yelled at him and walked into her quarters. She was soon joined by the other Captain and they sat down at the table Heidi had in her room.

"Geez Kessler it's awfully dark in 'ere couldn't ye open the windows?" Jack grinned and sat down.

"I like me dark, an besides its dark outside, wouldn't do too much good now would it Sparrow?" she spat and sat down across from him.

"Okay, okay don' get yer knickers in a knot," Jack held up his hands defensively, "now wha' do ye wan' I 'ave a crew t' get back t'."

"As do I, anyway I was wonderin' wha' kind o' 'adventure' is this?"

"A dangerous one."

"An 'ow long are we goin t' be out?"

"A long while Kessler, a long while."

"Tha's wha' I was afraid o'," Heidi slumped back in her seat.

"Wha's wrong wit' tha' I thought ye like bein' on the sea," Jack grabbed a banana from the basket of fruit she had on the table.

"I do but not when I 'ave a 'Serpent o the Sea' on me wrist," she squirmed in her seat.

"Well it's yer fault ye picked it up," he shrugged his shoulders and took a bite of the banana.

"I was drunk you insolent fool!" she growled, coming within inches of his face.

"Well still I wouldn't mind bein' on the sea" he shrugged.

"Listen Sparrow, I've been 'avin weird dreams an this thing 'ere keeps attackin' me so I would like t' get it off as soon as possible," she snapped and took a bite out of the banana he held.

Jack looked at her, then the banana, then her again and shrugged and took another bite.

"Dreams ye say?" he turned serious again.

"Aye dreams."

"Wha' kind o' dreams?"

"Not very nice ones," she said, tipping her chair back and putting her feet on the table.

Jack looked thoughtful, "Do ye remember any o' them?"

Heidi shook her head, "I only remember not likin' them."

"Well next time ye 'ave one, tell me right away," he said and stood up.

"Wha' if I don't remember?"

"Try."

Heidi watched him as he walked to her curtains and pulled them back, revealing many huge windows and the sunrise on the horizon.

"Do yerself a favour Captain, open them windows and look outside every once in awhile," he said before walking out of the room.

Heidi stared open mouthed at the windows, and what he had just said. Those were her curtains! And he pulled them back! How dare he! Nobody pulls back her curtains!

Heidi grunted, "Okay they're just curtains Kessler, relax," she rolled her eyes and watched as the sky exploded in many colours. It really was beautiful, maybe she should keep them open.

Heidi marched up on deck, it was right after the sunrise and they had to go now. She saw Jack at the helm on the Pearl ordering his crew around, and then his ship began to move.

"Follow the Pearl!" she yelled as her crew got to work. Pretty soon they were sailing with no land in sight, it was a beautiful day and the wind was with them. Something about a good day and a dangerous adventure made Heidi uneasy but she shrugged it off as having nothing to eat all day.

"Sly!" she barked, "Take the helm!" Sly rushed over to the helm and Heidi strode down to the galley to get something to eat.

She was on the main deck walking towards the stairs to the galley when suddenly she felt something hit her, something the felt strangely like a whip. Heidi yelped and fell to the ground, she tried to get back up but the whipping wouldn't stop.

Heidi didn't have the protection of her coat as she was whipped and whipped, tear were running down her face and horrible slashes were forming on her back but she would not scream. Her pride would not allow it, although at the moment it seemed to be allowing her to cry, but she could not bring herself to scream.

on the Black Pearl

"Gibbs come 'ere for a minute!"

"Aye Cap'n," Gibbs rushed up the stairs and towards his Captain but suddenly he stopped, his face was ghostly pale.

"Gibbs? Gibbs wha..." Jack started but was interrupted by a horrifying scream from the Devil's Cruelty.

"Wha the bloody 'ell?!" Jack spun around, his mouth dropped open at what he saw.

Kessler was on the deck of her ship and from he actions it seemed like she was being whipped, but there was no one around, except for her crew who were trying to get to her. Something was blocking them, a sort of invisible wall that threw them away whenever they got near. Jack yelled at his crew to let the anchors down and waited for the Devil's Cruelty to come closer, worry was etched on his face.

Jack and his crew watched the horrific scene before them as the Devil's Cruelty came closer and closer, finally they were beside her and they let down their anchors. Heidi was still being whipped mercilessly, every so often she'd cry out but she didn't scream again like she did before. Blood was running off her wounds and onto the deck, her crew was still fighting to get to her but nothing would work.

Jack rushed over the plank that was lowered between the ships and as soon as his feet touched the deck the whipping seemed to stop. Her crew ran over to her immediately, as did Jack's, Jack fought to get through them all and when he did he found an unconscious Captain with blood everywhere.

"Captain Sparrow!" Jack saw Sly rushing over to him.

"We need t' get her somewhere fast," Jack said lifting her into his arms.

Sly nodded and led him towards the Captain's quarters.

"Let's take 'er t' me ship Sly, tha' way someone can watch 'er on me ship an ye can sail 'er ship without 'avin t' worry 'bout 'er."

"Why don't we just stay here?"

Jack shook his head, "No we 'ave t' keep goin'."

Sly stared at him for a moment and then let Jack return to his ship. Jack's crew followed and Heidi's crew stared on in wonder and horror at what they had just witnessed.

"Gibbs yer in charge for now mate, keep sailin' in the direction we were headed and make sure tha' the Devil's Cruelty is behind ye at all times. Ana ye come wit' me and ye too Jonathan," Jack said as he rushed to his quarters.

Jonathan was the doctor of the Black Pearl and Jack figured that he'd know what to do, because he (Jack) sure as hell didn't know anything about this sort of thing. Ana was there to undress her, because Jack knew that even if he saw everything Heidi wouldn't care as long as he didn't undress her.

He laid her on her stomach on the bed and Ana immediately rushed over and removed her hat and shirt from her, there were also numerous chains and such weapons that had to be removed before she was entirely shirtless. Next Jonathan moved over to her with a basin of warm water, a cloth, some bandages, and some rum. He washed her back of the blood and them poured rum over her wounds.

"It's a good thing she's not awake for tha'," Jack mumbled as he watched them work. Her back looked like it had been clawed apart, it was horrible looking, she'd definitely be sore for some time.

Next Ana helped Jonathan wrap bandages around her, and then they were done. Jack thanked them and moved closer to the bed.

'If only she hadn't picked up the bracelet,' Jack thought, then her turned angry, "If only she wasn't such a bloody drunk!" he cried out loud.

He wasn't really one to talk though.

A/N: Wow, I think that was the longest chapter I've ever written. I hope you enjoy it! I decided to put this chapter up because I don't know how long it'll be again until I update, since I'm going back to school soon (AHHH!) hopefully it won't take me too long though. Ah today I watched 'Finding Nemo' and I realized that I don't like the part when he tells his dad he hates him, that is so sad! That was very random but okay.

Also, yesterday I saw my cousins for the first time!!! AHHH they are soooo cute! One is 7 months, another is 4 and another is 2 and they are the cutest thing's I've ever seen! I also met my uncle for the first time ever not that long ago... it's really odd when you meet someone in your family when you're 18.

Well I'll shut up now so you can go REVIEW!!! I need your reviews!!! YAY! I love you all (not like that you sickos... hehe I joke, I joke) and don't forget to review!!!!

The song that I'm putting in this chapter, inspired me to write this so that's why I'm putting it... although I don't really know why it inspired me...

Journey - Wheel in the Sky

(Schon, Fleischman, D. Valory)

Winter is here again oh Lord,
Haven't been home in a year or more
I hope she holds on a little longer

Sent a letter on a long summer day
Made of silver, not of clay
I've been runnin' down this dusty road

Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'

I've been trying to make it home
Got to make it before too long
I can't take this very much longer
I'm stranded in the sleet and rain
Don't think I'm ever gonna make it home again
The mornin' sun is risin'
It's kissing the day

(chorus)

Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
