-Hello everyone! Please try not to be so harsh with me and this fic, it's my first one so please please review and tell me if I need to correct anything! I'll try to update every day or every few days. Oh, one more thing, sorry if my English isn't that good, I'm Canadian yes but I've lived almost all my life in south America... it's really not that bad but with slight imperfections at some points-

By the way:

'...' for thinking
"..." for talking

-Chapter 15-

Jack's heart melted as he heard her soft words; but they were making no sense at all, it was impossible, or at least not probable.

"Darlin" he said "I don't want to believe ye're out of yer mind but-

"Not quite" she cut in "I'm out of my body to be precise" finally calming down she discovered her face from Jack's tight embrace and returned to the mirror for another quick glance at her new form.
"I have to admit it already" she said while tearing her gaze from the cursed thing "I have a feeling I won't be returning to by body any time soon".

"If yeh say so luv, but while we wait for yeh to..transform let's say, why don't we step out into the warm breeze the dusk of today has in store for us aye? Don't know 'bout yeh luv but all this rustling has left me without a good breath; besides " he said while making her look at him with his hands on both her cheeks "it will give me time to throw that mirror away before yeh suffer a nervous breakdown".

Jack was right, the day had had a warm breeze welcoming us. I could see the sky was getting darker in the horizon and because of it, the lights of a nearby island were starting to come into view. The ship got nearer and she just wanted to set feet on hard ground for a day, she just hoped this town wasn't as filthy as the one she had left behind not so long ago.

When they finally arrived and Sharlene wasbegining to walk away from the ship, pulled by the curiosity she felt for this new piece of land,started getting too far away from the docks, too far away for a certain captain Sparrow.

"Hey lass!" Jack yelled as he run up to her and stopped right in front "what do yeh think yer doing? Flying away like that" his brows frowning playfully, while one of her owns shot right up.

"I'm sorry, I had no idea I had to ask for your permission or approval for every thing I did out of your ship, meaning, out of my daily routines as a crew member of said ship".

"I know luv- 'come now think fast... ah!'- " but I don't want yeh to get lost or hurt in this unknown island, and by hurt luv, I mean hurt or abused or sexually harassed by any drunk and or sober man around" he finished with a fake concerned look on his face.

She gave him a bored look but innerly agreed with him, she may be strong and tough with this kind of guys, but one never knows when your time to be mournful has come.

"Right, what do you want me to do then mom". Jack flinched at that last word.
"Stay around me and yeh'll be safe" he said while placing his hands on each side of her.

Safe... safe was the farthest thing from reality when it came to Jack, specially if after of what he had said you ended up staring at him and a bunch of other men drink their throats off.

So there she was, sitting on a nearing collapsing chair, with her forehead touching the round edge of a table, her eyes focused on the ground beneath and her arms hanging from her sides as if resigned to stop the not to amusing scene in front of her.

"Wonder where I'm gonna sleep" she wondered out loud.

"Oh, so you're not one of old Jack's ladies then?" asked a voice from beside her. She moved her head up from its resting place on the edge of the table.

"Sorry?" she asked uninterested.

"Never mind, please excuse my manners, my name is William Turner, and you are, Mrs?"

"Oh" she sited straight on the chair "I'm Sharlene Irvine, pleased to meat you Will- may I call you Will?"

"Of course" he said with a big smile, he seemed nice after all, she had though it was no other than one of Jack's disgusting friends but this guy was a total gentleman; as far as she could tell anyway. But what she was fearing happened next..

His eyes suddenly seemed like they were going to pop right out of his skull 'not again'.

"You're- you're"

"I'm Sharlene Irvine yes, what about it" she just wanted to know.. WHY!

"Pardon me miss but, do you, by any chance, happen to be a relative of captain Grego-

"Time to go luv!" said Jack's drunken voice, or at least it seemed inexcusably rushed "Oh! Hello there whelp, long time no see aye?" he said friendly.

"Long time no see Jack" Will said smiling 'gosh that's a sexy smile he's got there'.

"Say, I was just wondering Will dear, you couldn't possibly have a room to spare for ol' Jack here in that humongous little house of yours right?" 'great language you got there Jack' thought Sharlene.

"Sure Jack, I'm sure Elizabeth won't mind at all".

"Splendid, it's settled then, shall we leave now?"

"What about me Jack?" she demanded "where the hell am I supposed to sleep with no money at all?"

"Oh yeah I forgot about yeh love, I'm truly sorry", she humphed "Will, would this young lady here be able to join me in the room I asked for?

"Yeah no problem Jack, now let's go, it's getting late, probably Liz might be worried by now".

While they walked silently down the road to Will's house, something bumped from the top of her head 'we're not going to sleepagain on the same room are we? Hope that humongous little house of his is big enough to have a spare room for me... if not, I'd rather sleep with the dog'.

Her thoughts were interrupted by Will's soft voice, damn this man was hot, wonder who this Elizabeth is, probably his maid.

"Here we are" Will said by opening the front door of his house "Liz, darlin I'm home!" he announced.

"Cliché" said Jack under his breath, making Sharlene chuckle slightly followed by a sexy wink from Jack. 'what on earth may he be thinking" she wondered.

"Will! Finally! I thought something had happened to you, oh hi Jack" she said smiling at him, he smiling back; a ting of jealousy crept through Sharlene's body as she saw them. This woman was apparently and most unfortunately Will's wife and she had the nerve to make eyes with Jack- 'wow, wonder where that came from'.

"And who are you lady?" she asked politely

"Me? Oh I'm Sharlene Irvine miss, a recent crew member from the Pearl" she said warmly, she couldn't help liking her after all.

"Well nice to meet you Sharlene"

"If I may ask Mrs. Irvine" insisted Will "could you be captain Gregory Irvine's relative?"

Sharlene felt Jack shift slightly in an uneasy way.

"Who? No, I don't think so, never heard of him before.. sorry" she replied rather confused.

"Oh that's okay, my mistake" he said not totally convinced, he looked at Jack who was staring at the floor as if not wanting to look back at him.

Elizabeth was the one to break the uncomfortable silence.

"Well then, shall we all go to sleep? I'm exhausted".

"Great idea luv! I'm sure you have a spare room for us?"

"Yes Jack, come along".

Jack opened the door and walked inside the room.

"I like it, thanks a bunch luv" he said while climbing on the bed and giving Sharlene a seductive smirk as if he knew she was going to sleep there.. 'tough luck Jack, cause I won't be sleeping with you this time' she almost felt like sticking his tongue out to him.

"I'm afraid this is the only spare room we have for the time being as we have the other one for reparations" Liz said sorry with her eyes.

"Oh.. well do you have a dog? I'll sleep with the dog, I don't have any issues concerning animals, I love them in fact" Sharlene said half serious half pleading.

"I'm awfully sorry Sharlene, we don't have a dog, you'll have to sleep here for the night".

She could just sense Jack's smirk grow without even looking at him.

"You don't have a dog? A maid perhaps? No room? No?... crap".

"I guess we'll see each other in the morning, good night" and they were off.

Sharlene walked rejectfully inside the room closing the door behind her, she was just hoping Jack would be kind so as to let her sleep like he did aboard the ship; at least she would try and convince him to let her be.

'Here goes nothing' she sighed.

Well here goes another chap, hope you like it! and please review!
