Chapter 6 'Tortuga, beginning of feelings, and a pirate crew'
Jack was leading Jade and Will throughout Tortuga. They stopped at an intersection in the road.
"It is indeed a sad life that has never breathed deep the sweet, proliferous banquet that is Tortuga, savvy? What do you think?"
Will looked around, disgusted with all the whores and drunken men.
"It'll linger."
Jack smirked at him and then turned to Jade.
"What about you, luv?"
Jade also looked around. It wasn't THAT bad... Sure, there were whores and drunks, but at least it wasn't BORING, like Port Royal...
"I suppose it's all right. I mean, it's obviously not dull, like Port Royal." She said thoughtfully, smirking at Will's expression. He was looking at her as if she was mad. She turned to Jack, grinning.
He grinned back as he thought, 'AHA, my kind of girl...' But was broken out of his reverie as a stick-like, redheaded woman came towards them. Obviously Jack knew her, and reluctantly welcomed her.
"Scarlett!!"
She gave him a good slap.
"Don't think I deserved that..."
Then another woman, also stick-like, came towards them. But unlike Scarlett, she was blonde.
"Giselle!!"
She smirked as she nodded her head in Scarlett's direction.
"Who was she??" but then she saw Jade. "And who is SHE??"
Jack started to introduce Jade, but before he could say anything, he was slapped. Again.
"I may have deserved that..."
Once Jack recovered from all the slapping, he led them all to a bar, called the Faithful Bride. Jack filled two buckets of cold water, handed one to Will, and headed to the back, where there were stables. In, sleeping with the pigs, was a man. He looked somewhat familiar to Jade... Jack smirked and threw a bucket on him. The man woke up with a rage.
"CURSE YE FOR BREATHING, YE SLACKED-JAWED IDIOT!!!" but then he calmed down once realizing who woke him.
"MOTHER'S LOVE!!! Jack!!! You should know better than to wake a man while he's sleeping... 'S bad luck!!!"
This last statement caused Jade to realize who the man was.
"Mr. Gibbs??"
"Aye."
Jack started answering Gibbs's dilemma from before.
"Fortunately I know how to counter that kind of bad luck. The man who did the waking buys the man who was sleeping a drink. The man who did the sleeping drinks it, while listening to a proposition, from the man who did the waking..."
Gibbs's face went through being lost, to confused, then to 'Oh-I-get-it' kind of looks.
"Aye. That'll about do it!"
Jack offered Gibbs his hand and helped him up. Will finally made use of the bucket in his hands, and splashed it all over Gibbs.
"BLAST!! I'm ALREADY AWAKE!!!" he sputtered
"That was for the smell."
After considering it, Gibbs nodded understandably.
Once at the bar, Jack and Gibbs got a table while Jade and Will were standing near a pole.
"Keep a sharp eye..." Jack said as he strolled to the table.
Jade watched Jack talk with Gibbs while Will went off to get some rum. Every now and then, while Gibbs wasn't looking, Jack would steal glances at her and grin. She would blush, or smile back. After a while, a drunken man that had been staring at her ever since she stepped into the bar, came towards her and leered,
"Well, well, well. 'ooks like I got meself some ennertainment for th' nigh.'"
Jade tried to scream for Jack, but the drunk gagged her with his hand. Jade kicked anything in sight, trying to make a racket so someone would help her, but there was so much other noise in the place, that not many people noticed.
Meanwhile, Jack was finishing his talk with Gibbs.
"...Take what ye can..."
"...Give nothin' back..."
With that, they clanked mugs and drank what was left of rum in them. After that, Jack threw some coins on the table to pay for the drinks and looked around for Jade- and Will. He couldn't find Jade, but he saw Will, who was walking towards them with two mugs.
"Where's Jade????" they asked each other in unison.
Jack frantically scanned the bar. In one corner of his eye, he saw a drunk leading, or dragging, a struggling woman, with aqua eyes...Jack could recognize those eyes any where... He started running up to them.
Jade's captive asked for a room. Her eyes widened. She knew what went on in those rooms...
Out of pure fear, she bit the drunk's hand as hard as she could, which was pretty hard. He screamed out a curse, and grabbed a knife from a table nearby. He wasted no time and slashed her side, shins, and arms. All Jade could do was kick the dagger from his hand, before collapsing, unconscious, at Jack's feet. [since he just came, running up.] The man came up with yet another knife, but Jack took out his sword.
"That's not very nice!!!" He said before stabbing the drunk.
Once that was done, Jack cradled Jade in his arms.
"Dahling," he whispered, "Can ye hear me? God luv, what did he DO to ye??"
Will and Gibbs rushed up as Jack easily lifted Jade in his arms.
"She's hurt pretty bad...Gotta get some rooms someplace..."
Gibbs felt the need to pass on good advice.
"There's an inn on Horsome Avenue, Jack. Ye three could go there, while I find ourselves a crew."
Then he left to begin his search. Will and Jack, who was still carrying Jade, went off to Horsome Avenue. Once at the inn, they got some rooms, and Jack put Jade gently down on one of the beds. She really looked beat up. She had bruises on her face and neck, probable where the drunk dragged her, little cuts on her arms and shins, and a deep one on her side-which would leave a scar. Jack took some of his precious rum and cleaned Jade's wound. She awoke with the pain and hissed from it.
'Ahhh. Her eyes...I love em' thought Jack.
"Jack??"
"Shhh. I'm 'ere, dahling. 'Ol Jack won't let anything else happen to ye."
Once Jade recalled everything that happened, she burst out crying. Jack had no idea what to do. He'd experienced women who slapped him, yes. But crying, no.
Thinking of the only thing he could do at that moment, Jack wrapped his arms about her and held her close. He felt her calm down a little.
"Listen, luv. I won't let anythin' else happen to ye. I'm Captain Jack Sparrow, savvy??"
Jade dried her eyes and sniffled.
"Savvy." Her voice was hoarse from crying.
Jack smiled and his kohl-lined eyes made their way down to Jade's lips. He couldn't resist-he quickly kissed her.
Jade was caught off-guard. After getting over her shock, she wrapped her arms around Jack's neck and kissed him back. She was almost always half-wishing that would happen. Jack broke the kiss and stood up.
"Night' luv." He said as he went to his own bedroom.
Little did he know, Jade had a huge smile on her face.
"Goodnight, Jack."
Will, Jack, and Jade were on the Interceptor, and Jack was inspecting the crew that Gibbs had got during the night.
"Feast your eyes, Captain. Faithful hands before the mast, every man worth his salt, and crazy to boot."
Jack stopped in front of an old man with a parrot on his shoulder.
"You!! Sailor!!"
Gibbs interrupted.
"Cotton, sir."
Jack continued.
"Mr. Cotton, do you have the courage to follow orders and stay true in the face of almost certain death??"
Cotton didn't answer. Jack grew impatient.
"Mr. Cotton!!! Answer, man!!"
Gibbs interrupted again.
"He's a mute, sir. Poor devil got his tongue cut out. Trained the parrot t' talk for 'im. Though no one yet figured how..."
"Mr. Cotton's... parrot. Same question."
The parrot squawked,
"Wind in the sails!! Wind in the sails!!"
Gibbs offered a translation.
"Mostly we figure that means 'yes'."
"Of course it does!!" he turned to Will, who looked thoughtful. "Satisfied??"
"Well, you've proved them mad..."
Then what sounded like a woman speaking, someone said,
"And what's the benefit for us??"
Jack frowned and cautiously stepped down to the sailor and took off their hat. Raven-black hair fell down on their shoulders.
Jack smirked.
"Anamaria."
She slapped him good. Will looked impatient.
"I suppose you didn't deserve that one either."
Jack looked at him and said as-a-matter-of-factly,
"Actually, that one I did deserve."
Anamaria fumed.
"You stole MY BOAT!!!" she accused.
"Actually," Jack started to explain before getting slapped again.
"BORROWED," he continued, "Borrowed, without permission, But with every intention of bringing it back."
"BUT YOU DIDN'T!!"
Jack squirmed.
"You'll get another one!!"
She pointed her finger at him threateningly.
"I WILL!!"
Will joined the conversation.
"A better one."
Jack agreed enthusiastically.
"A BETTER one!!"
Will pointed to a ship out on the sea.
"THAT one."
Jack faced him.
"WHAT ONE?? THAT ONE????"
The whole crew looked at him.
"Aye!! THAT one!! What say you??"
All the crew, including Anamaria yelled,
"AYE!!!"
The crew got to work. As she walked by, Anamaria grabbed her hat back. Gibbs walked over to Jack, a worried look on his face.
"Oh no, no, no, no, no sir. It's frightful bad having a woman on board, sir," he looked at Jade and Anamaria, who were talking and laughing softly. "Let alone TWO."
Jack looked to the sky.
"It'd be far worse not to, however." He said as he went to the helm.
Gibbs and Will were left trying to find what Jack had been looking at.
