Disclaimer: They are not mine, but if they were mine, oh that would be
fine, it would be a great time, to be alive! Huzzah!
AN: Very late thanks to AbbieNormal182 for being my first reviewer. A bottle of rum to ye! Also sorry for the shortness of my chapters but I have to get the feel of writin' the fics. And now I've decided it is time for another song!
Read and review It's good for you It don't smell like poo More like honeydew
Read and review Every chapter is new I like the color blue So please read and review!
Ha ha ! and Huzzah! And yo ho! And all that jazz, so now for the main event, upwards and onwards!
Also, BTW: The song "Slumber My Darling" (it's in here later) is by YoYo Ma and some other people if you're looking for it by any chance. I suggest you do, it's a pretty song.
Chapter Four Pirate Captain?
Jack regarded Mikella with a sideways look. She had just professed to him that she was not a pirate at all, only a "daughter of dishonesty."
"What the 'ell is that luv?"
Mikella let the grin slide off her face, Jack was being rather thick. "I was only born into piracy my dear Captain. Individually I love everyone with affection unspeakable but collectively I hate them with a disgust that amounts to absolute detestation! And that's putting it lightly." She said.
"Well I guess you have to follow the dictates of yer own conscious luv." Jack said and instantly wondered what the hell he was talking about. Mikella looked at him as if he were turning funny colors. "Don't ask me where it came from," He said "I just say the first thing that comes to me mind."
Mikella sighed and decided to give up on it for the moment. "Either way, you an' I are goin' to Port Royal after we go to Tortuga and you can swing in the wind while I make myself into a decent human being."
"Good luck wif that luv, ye'll need it." Just as Mikella would have snapped back at him, there was a knock at her cabin door. Mikella walked to the door and opened allowing her first mate Guin to walk in. "Oy Guin, glad yer 'ere." Mikella said and clapped him on the shoulder, leading him into the room. "This be Sparrow. Watch 'im fer me whilst I go." She trailed off for a moment. "Whilst I go about me business. An' Sparrow don' ye be tryin' anythin' ye hear?"
Mikella didn't wait for a response but merely nodded at the two pirates as she slipped quickly out the door, locking it behind her of course.
Jack frowned and quickly assessed the first mate who had been assigned babysitting duty and what is she off doing. He wondered absently. As he looked over at the man he saw nothing out of the ordinary, just a regular run of the mill pirate with a ring of keys strapped to his belt. Jack grinned as he saw the ring of keys.
"So mate what stuck ye' with th' job of watchin' good ol' Jack?" He asked as a plan formulated in his head. The first mate just looked suspiciously at Jack and didn't say anything. "What's matter? Parrot got yer tongue mate?" he asked. Guin just shook his head. Jack looked at him strangely, an idea formulating in his head. "Are ye under orders not to talk to me?" Guin's eyes lighted up with surprise and he nodded his head yes. "Ye didn't expect me t' figure that out did ye?" Jack continued as the man nodded. "Clever captain ye got there. She's hard t' predict she is." Guin smiled and nodded again. "Why don't ye tell me about 'er over a bottle o rum mate?" Guin looked hesitant, as if under normal conditions he'd gladly accept, but to betray the orders of his captain. "Oh, come on mate, she'll never hear of it from me." This seemed to settle well with him and he smiled.
"Okay." Guin said.
"Excellent." Jack replied and fished four bottles of rum -two for each- out of the rum cabinet. "So tell me about yer Captain. What makes ye stay here?"
"Frankly Sparrow, I'm in love with 'er. I 'ave been since I met her. And this be me warnin' ye to stay away from 'er." Guin said with a dangerous smile on his lips.
"Far be it from me to take yer girl mate. Here's to the two o ye." He said raising his glass in the air. The tension in Guin's smile dissipated and he gladly clinked his mug against Jack's. Jack smiled deviously as the two of them drank up.

30 minutes later Jack was pleasantly staggering through the dark passages of the Corazon del Mar. His plan to get Guin drunk by beating him in a drinking contest had nearly failed when it turned out that Guin could put down nearly as much rum as Jack. Now that he thought about it, Jack liked Guin a lot. Too bad the menacing Captain Barbossa had him under her reign.
He passed by a myriad of doorways finally settling on one in a dark passage way that seemed to be purposely drawn out of view. He slid into the passage way and slowly opened the door.
Jack's eyes widened as he took in his surroundings. The room seemed severely out of place. To his right were three lines of bookcases, stuffed to overflowing with books in more languages than one. Straight ahead was a large porthole made of pieces of colored glass. Under the porthole was a set of shelves all of which were filled with an uncountable amount of vials. In each glass vial was a colored liquid. Next to the shelves was a cabinet that reached to the ceiling and was fastened with a gold lock. In front of the cabinet there was a small fire on top of which a medium sized old-fashioned cauldron boiled a sweet smelling mixture.
To Jack's left side there was an alcove a little smaller than the other sections of the room, but much more mysterious. The alcove was curtained with big lengths of blue colored cloth. As Jack looked at them the curtains seemed to move a little. Doing a minor double take, he looked again and realized that there were indeed slippered feet under the curtains, and they were headed towards him.
Remembering the ultimatum that Mikella Barbossa had made clear to himself and her crew earlier, Jack darted behind one of the bookcases, hoping to death that the person didn't need to brush up on their reading.
As he waited he gradually began to hear something resembling music. It seemed that the person behind the curtains was now singing. Actually, Jack could now tell that it was a girl's voice and that she was a pretty good singer.
". Sweeeeet pleasures adorn thy sleeeeep, near dearest to meeee. Sweeeeet pleasures adorn thy sleeeeep IIIII will watch over yooooooo." (AN: the elongated vowels indicate where a note is held, not that she sounds like crap.)
Jack sighed a little at the lullaby; it caused him to remember a time when he had been among his mother, safe and uncaring. He shook it off however, remembering that he was in a highly tense situation.
As if to demonstrate this there was suddenly a knock at the door. Well, more like an enraged pounding actually. Jack's heart jumped to his throat and he would have prepared to stand and fight if -all of a sudden- someone hadn't landed in his lap.
Jack's eyes widened to the size of dinner plates. It was Mikella Barbossa, only she wasn't dressed in her ambiguous pirate costume of earlier. She was wearing a long dress the color of raspberries that had a deep neck and long bell sleeves. Her hair was pinned up in curls and there was makeup around her eyes and cheeks. She looked the very picture of a civilized lady. Jack opened his mouth to say something but Mikella stopped him by pressing a hand to his mouth. He lifted his hand to rip hers away but this interaction was interrupted by the sound of the door being busted in. Jack and Mikella looked up to see Guin towering over them with anger in his eyes and a sword in his hand.
