Chapter Five - Acquaintances

Resting against the hard brick wall outside the Blushing Bride the first mate from the Black Pearl tried to stifle a laugh at the joke just told. His face was carefree and happy. No longer caring the burdens that came with his position. Grinning from ear to ear he absent mindedly tucked one of his dark tangled locks out of his equally as dark eyes and behind his ear, when something caught his eye.

A distressed looking young woman could be seen pacing a little further down. Her chocolate tresses were pulled back off her slightly tanned young face. Large liquid brown eyes glanced around the street in a somewhat cautious manor. A smile tugged at his lips. You didn't see things that pure walking 'round the street of Tortuga.

"Awww forget it Junior. You're just as likely to become King then get next to the likes of her."

The young man flashed his friend a cheeky grin. "Then there's still a chance."

Ignoring his friends teasing comments the boy turned his gaze back to the young girl but she was no longer there. His eyes scanned the busy streets and finally came to rest on her familiar figure a few metres closer than before. A large bulky man now accompanied her and from what Junior could see he was not at all wanted.

Fists clenched and teeth bared the young pirate made his way towards the two. Even through he was no gentleman himself he had been taught never to touch a woman against her wishes. Especially a young and defenceless one.

Emily felt strong hands clamp around her wrists. She tried to pull away but they only tightened the grip. Tears of anger and pain seared in her eyes but she held them back, not giving him the pleasure as to knowing how much he was hurting her. The larger man was undoubtedly a pirate and smelled strongly of the sea and rum. A strange smell that Emily wrinkled her nose at in great disgust.

Biting hard on her bottom lip she kicked the man with all the force she could manage. He swore loudly, letting go of her wrists he rubbed his leg before striking her across the face. Breathing heavily she made to kick him again but the pirate caught her arm and twisted it behind the small of her back. Fighting tears that rimmed her eyes Emily fought against the strong hold.

"Now that's not very nice, is it?"

The bulky man turned to face the newcomer but did not release his fighting victim. The younger man stood strong and proud before them. His face no longer held a happy expression but a deeply angered one. Blinking back her tears that threatened to fall Emily stared up at the young man. She had never cried and she wasn't about to start now.

"Shouldn't poke your nose into business that doesn't concern you."

The words left his mouth a threatening growl but they had no effect over the young man. Or none that he willingly showed. Having been in Tortuga at countless times throughout his life and evening having lived there for a brief period of time in itself, he knew that as soon as you displayed a sign of weakness your opponent gained courage. Vulnerability equalled strength. So keeping his cool he stepped closer to the large man.

"Ah well, when you threaten innocent women you make it my business."

Silence pierced the atmosphere as the two men stared at each other directly in the eye. Reluctance shone in the older mans beady black eyes as he unwillingly eased the grip on Emily's wrists. Leaning towards her he spoke in a deep whisper barely audible to the young girls ears. "You were lucky this time, pet but maybe not so much next time."

And with that he fully released her from his hold and staggered away. Emily still in shock watched his rounded figure disappear into the crowds. The boy took a step closer and reached out to touch her shoulder. "Are you alright?" Snapping back to attention she turned to him with an expression he did not expect. Instead of the thankful and happy look he had imagined her features bore quite the opposite. Anger could be seen dancing in her eyes, likes the flames of an untamed fair, as she glared outraged at him.

"I could have handled him myself thankyou very much."

Flashing him one last death glare she turned on her heel and headed back towards the Blushing Bride. Blinking to make sure he wasn't imagining things Junior turned and chased after her, confusion written all over his face.

"Yeah, you seemed to be doing real well. Tell me something. Just how exactly were you planning on getting out of this?"

And with that, in less than a second, he had pulled or rather wrenched her arm behind her back in a position much similar to the one the man had had her in before. Emily replied with a yelp as she found herself for the second time that night in an uncomfortable spot, squashed against his chest. A smile flickered across his lips as she fought against him.

Turning her around slightly gentler than his previous action the boy grinned at her amazing strength. For someone as small as she was she sure could fight. But his happy expression was soon wiped of his face and replaced with a frown. Letting go quickly he massaged his arm, examining a small line of red marks.

"You bit me!"

It was Emily's turn to smile. "You harassed me!"

"Harassed you!?! I saved you and this is the thanks I get!?!"

"Like I said before I could have handled it."

With a flick of her hair she turned around and bumped straight into Jack. She smiled and a relived expression mingled with her features. "Oh Jack, thank goodness it's you! This man will not stop persecuting me." She glared daggers at the young man.

"Pattie."

The boy cringed with great dislike at the Captains use for the pet name. "For the last time it's Patrick. Captain Patrick to you."

"Hey! Hey! There is only one Captain here and that is me, savvy?" he stared Patrick down for a second as a challenging glint entered his eye before continuing. "Now what's all this 'bout harassin' Miss Turner? I thought I b'ought you up better than that."

"I was.wait. Did you say Turner? As in William Turner?"

Emily's angry expression melted completely at her Father's name. Eyes wide she faced Patrick. "How do you know my Father?"

"How do you know my Father?"

Emily's liquid brown eyes stared blankly back at him. "Your Father? She turned back to look at the pirate Captain. "You're his Father?"
