Chapter 6 ~ 40 winks By ~queenofdespair216

Summary: Kira Ryan was an ordinary 21st century girl until an amulet brought her tumbling into 18th century to a world of rum, pirates, and true love.

Disclaimer: I do not own Pirates of the Caribbean, any of it's characters, settings, or plots.( However Kira Ryan and the general plot is my own.

A/N: ok many people have recently asked this so I'm going try and clear this up. This story takes place before the movie, before Barbossa betrays him, when he is still his first mate. Will and Elizabeth are pretty much exempt from this story, except for a very small part they play. .haven't decided whether to make this a long one or just make a sequel.

Also I'm sorry if some of ya'll think it's overwritten.but that's just the way I happen to have written this so if you don't like it then stuff it cause I'm writing this story for my own enjoyment, and for the very few who do like it.because I can't please everybody and I don't want to and am not going to try

So anyways on to the long awaited chapter 6..well maybe not long awaited but hey I can pretend you care right?...read on..

Am I still breathing Have I lost that feeling Am I made of glass Cause you see right through me I don't know who I am and you are the only one that sees that I can't ask these questions that cannot be answered today ~TRAPT "Made Of Glass" ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~~-~-~-~-~-~-~- ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

The warm morning rays of a waking sun shined through the crystallized glass, as Kira finally opened her eyes to greet the day. She snuggled into the warm down comforter and into the warm body beside, feeling warmth and security that she had not felt for a long time. Suddenly a pair of arms wrapped around her petite frame, she gasped in surprise. She looked up to see a pair of twinkling chocolate brown eyes staring at her. "I knew you'd warm up to me before long." A familiar voice breathed amusedly into her ear. The man chuckled as realization hit the girl lying beside him.

Kira abruptly sat up, glaring at Jack. "JACK!" She said, half in surprise, half in a loud growl. "What are you doing in my bed?" she said questionably. "Enjoying me 40 winks same as you luv." (A/N: this is an expression means sleeping basically) "Well I got that part, but why were you enjoying them here? Don't you have another place to sleep? i.e. the floor?" she said in a some what agitated tone, although in fact she was a little teeny tiny bit happy by this turn of events, but she wasn't going to let anyone, especially Jack know that that. "Well luv ya see the floor isn't practically comfortable, and it was bloody cold last night so I figured you wouldn't mind ol'Jacks for one night, sides knew you wouldn't want me ta freeze all by onesies ons the floor." He said with a smirk. "Well Mr. Sparrow, you were wrong. I do mind, I don't want to share a bed with a complete and utter stranger." "Well fine then let me introduce myself lass, I'm the legendary Captain Jack Sparrow and you are." "UGH! that's not what I meant." "Well that's you said." "Yes, but not what I meant, I meant I don't know anything about you as a person, not your name stupid." She replied, to tired to think of anything more intelligent to say.

"Ahhh, well I am the captain of this lovely ship and I have a lovely crew and we wander the seven seas." he said rapidly "And in all truth," she said cutting him off in an attempt to finish her sentence, "I don't really feel the need to get to know you. I'm your crewmember; I work for you, that's all you need to know about me. Now if you excuse me, I think I have places to be." And quickly got up and exited the room."

"What's her problem." Jack wondered out loud. This woman was unlike any other he had ever met, she was independent and could actually carry an intelligent conversation, unlike many the whores he had meet in Tortuga, and his many travels. Yesterday, he thought she just might be loosing up, but her attitude today was just the opposite, she seemed different.

Kira walked as fast as she could away from Jack's quarters. She was awfully confused and didn't know where she was going, but just that she definitely needed some fresh air. She finally found her way out on to the deck, and since no one was around she found herself starring into the vas span of crashing waves.

The sun was just peaking up over the horizon, causing sporadic rays to kiss the clouds turning them pink from embarrassment. She didn't know why she was happy all of a sudden, she had felt more alive in the past day and a half than she had her entire life and she wasn't sure if she was ready to feel it. Her whole philosophy on life had been for some time now, that it was better to feel nothing at all then deal with the extreme highs and for her, the all time lows of her life. but maybe it was time for a change. She sighed and started down to the galley to begin work on breakfast.
