Jack waited until he was sure Indigo was in her room. He finally went up to the innkeeper and asked what room she was in then proceeded to find the room.
He heard struggling and a muffled scream and with an unknown strength knocked down the door.
Right when he came in he saw the man who had followed her earlier hit her over the head with the hilt of his sword, knocking her unconciouss.
He leapt forward, and quickly unsheathed his sword and ran in through the mans gut, before he even had a chance to acknowledge Jack's prescence.
He threw the man out the broken window that he had apparently come in through, and walked over to Indigo's limp form.
She was on her side in front of the bed with a gag over her mouth and her hands tied behind her back.
He could see places where her clothes had been torn. He removed her bindings and precauciously wrapped her in his coat.
"Well that makes my job a bit easier." He mumbled , picking her up and carrying her out the window, to avoid suspicion from the innkeeper.
When Jack got to The Black Pearl, Gibbs ran up to him frantically.
"Whats this Jack?"he asked eyeing Indigo
"This is my daughter Gibbs." Gibbs nodded, remembering Jacks tale many years ago, and remembering how Jack always kept a sharp eye out when they were in tortuga.
Jack walked into his cabin, and layed her down on his bunk, then took his coat off of her, He removed the corset and dress so she was only in her white cotton shift, then pulled the covers up around her.
He studyed her for a moment, she had his dark hair, his cheekbones, her mother's curls, and definatley his attiditude.
In the candelight he noticed a few freckles that danced across her cheeks and nose, making her seem even more youthful. She stirred a bit and turned on her side so her scar was visible, sending a wave of guilt though Jack's concience.
He took some blankets and a pillow out from a cabinet and settled down on the rug beside his bed.
A few hours later, when he had finally managed to doze off a voice woke him up.
He sat upright and looked to the bed where Indigo were thrashing around and yelling.
"DADDY!! DADDY!!! COME BACK!!" his heart sunk like a rock to the pit of his stomach.
He stood up and sat on the bed beside her, He pulled her up so she was sitting and pulled her close to him, she seemed to calm down but suddenly ripped away from his embrace, with wide eyes.
"Whatareyoudoing!? WhereamI? Whathappened.!??!" She asked all 3 questions in a matter of 3 seconds and it took poor Jack a while to comprehend them.
"Im trying to calm ye down, your on my ship, and yer good ole dad showed up jest in time to see ye get knocked on the head with a sword , so ye can thank me later for savin yer life."
Indigo narrowed her eyes and grimaced,"Was I talking in my sleep?"
Jack nodded
"I'm sorry, i-it wont happen again." She said with almost fear looming in her eyes.
"Darling its ok, im not upset." Jack said with a hint of amusement
"Right, i'm sorry, i just, i used to get 10 lashings for talking in my sleep, and 5 for talking at all, I still expect to get the punishment." She explained
If it was possible Jacks heart grew even heavier.
"It's not your fault you know." Jack tried the classic line
"I know....It's yours." Her eyes hardened again .
The words stung Jack, he didnt know what to say, he just nodded and moved to the rug again, curling up in a ball.
Tomorrow they would be in Port Royal and maybe Will and Elizabeth could help him sort this whole mess out.
"Jack .....JACK!" he awoke to someone shouting his name and shaking him.
He opened his eyes and saw a fully clothed Indigo.
"Hello darling, whats this all about?" He squinted his eyes in the sunlight and sat up.
"We've docked somewhere." She said sourly.
"Oh right, thank you." She nodded and started making the bed.
"Indigo?"
"What?"
"Why do you call me that?" Jack asked
"Call you what?" She asked absentmindedly, and continued making the bed.
"Jack." He replied.
"Its your name." She said matter of factly.
"Well i know luv, but shouldnt you call me father or something along those lines?" He asked
Indigo turned around and looked at him with narrowed eyes.
"No" She turned after a beat and finished making the bed.
"Why not?" he shot back
"Your not my father." She said plainly with her back to him
"Im sorry to tell you but i am darling."
She didnt speak for a moment , but stood frozen before turning sharply , nearly making Jack jump at the look of hatred in her eyes.
"Your not my father because a FATHER doesnt leave his 3 year old daughter to get beaten to death, A FATHER doesnt run off with a bunch off whores instead of caring about the well being of his child!....the closest thing i've ever had to a father is the man my mother married that raped me and killed her when i was 8." she slowly lowered her voice, but the malice stayed strong, making Jack wince.
"Look dove, Even if i could have taken you with me I........HE WHAT!!!???" What she had said finally caught up with him.
She closed her eyes and breathed deeply through her nose, "Nevermind" She said quietly, not wanting to relive the nightmare.
He seemed to understand and instead of prodding her for more information, he lead her out on deck.
"Now Indigo, we are going to meet a few friends of mine that you will probably get along with a lot better than me."
Indigo laughed and then covered her mouth, regretting letting her guard down, then cursing herself when she looked up to see Jack smiling smugly to himself.
She rolled her eyes and fixed her gaze on the dirt as Jack lead her through Port Royal to The Turner residence, were the newlyweds Will and Elizabeth would be residing..
As they got farther away from the Docks the small town seemed to grow very crowded. Indigo turned to where Jack had been walking recently and didnt see him,
"Jack?" She asked worridly She then looked all over and completely scanned her surroundings.
"JACK!!" She yelled , extremely irritated at his dissapearance.
She childishly stomped her foot, and put her hands on her hips trying to hide her panic with anger.
She turned when she felt a hand grab her arm.
She expected to see Jack smiling like an idiot for freaking her out, but instead she was met with a squirly man in a humiliating white wig.
"Excuse me Miss, can I help you?"
