Bloody Curses
Author's Note: Hey! I'm back, again! I hope you all liked my other POTC fic, and its new name! Applauds I'm soooo happy I finally came up with a better name! I don't ever know how I came up with the other; it had nothing, absolutely NOTHING to do with the fic. Oh well, there's the workings of my mind for you.
Author's Note #2: This is the sequel to Bloody Pirates, but it's enough after it that either can be read by themselves. There might be a few things you don't get, but it's not like the plot carries on...Nevermind, I don't know what I'm talking about.
Author's Note #3: Here's the people I have in the fic so far: Angelina Sparrow, AnnaMariea, Barbossa, Elizabeth Turner, Gabriel Beck, Jack Sparrow, Jane Finch, Jesse D. James, Kat Maxwell, Lina, The Mysterious Pirate (Whose name shall no longer be a mystery when I find one for him...Nervous laughter), Orla, Rum, Sarah, and Will Turner. I am adding Gemmikins under the name of...um...Charlotte Moore. (I just looked in a book of quotations and randomly picked a first name and a last name. I did pretty well, didn't I? Gem, tell me if you want it changed.) I'm gonna wait on Landerz, maybe she'll want to make up her own character.
Author's Note #4: I apologize to Rum for not putting her in more in the past chapters! And I'll promise a big entrance! Anyone else feeling that they're not in as much, please please let me know! I've got a lot of characters to keep track of, so I try to keep them all straight and active!
Author's Note #5: The beginning of this fic can conjure some...images or...ideas. Let me say (Especially to some people CoughMithandLinacough): GET YOUR MINDS OUT OF THE GUTTER PEOPLE! THIS IS A PG13 FIC! Nervous laughter Sorry bout that. Let the fic begin!

CHAPTER 1: MANY MEETINGS (Tee hee hee, couldn't tell I like LOTR too, could
you?)
Angelina opened her eyes. She was in a dark, stuffy room. What had happened? She looked down. Her clothes were in shreds. What in bloody hell? Pulling the covers up around her, she sat up and looked around.
She just about screamed. It was that man again. She hadn't seen him for over 4 months! Ever since that last day on the Pearl. When he had kissed her.
She had become a serving maid at the Drunken Pirate, the most high class pub in town. (Motto: "A place where there is a difference between a serving maid and pleasurable company!" A BIG difference.)
So why was that man here? Her mind was groggy, she couldn't remember anything.
She looked at the foot of the bed. A new dress was laid out for her. It was a deep red, almost a blood red. It reminded her of the dresses Gabriel and Orla had been wearing when they first came aboard the Pearl. She sighed. Gabby, Orla, Jane, Rum, everyone...where were they all now? Surely not in this business. Although, she had become very reputable in Tortuga's upper crust. If you could call it 'Upper Crust'. Oh well, she had already resigned herself to never seeing her old ship mates again. So why was this man here?
One thought ran through Angelina's mind. With it came a vision of an apple. She shuddered. No, he wasn't that low as to get her drunk, or knock her out and then...no. That wasn't the Mysterious Pirate's nature.
Angelina crawled out of bed and tapped him on the shoulder. He woke with a start and immediately looked away in embarrassment. Angelina looked down. There wasn't much of her bodice left. It was just bordering on decency. She quickly pulled the other dress on over her ruined one.
"Um, excuse me," She tapped him again and he looked tentatively back, then upon seeing only the new dress, he turned around. "What's going on?"
"You don't remember?"
She shook her head. "Nope."
"There was a raid."
"Still don't remember."
"It was pirates. They came for the money. And for the women. They got most of the serving maids and all of the...ahem...others."
A light dawned in Angelina's mind. "Did you save me?" She asked, a teasing glint in her eyes.
He looked away again.
"Awww. And how close were you to this place when you heard the screams and chaos?"
He mumbled something.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you."
"I was inside."
"You were? Why?"
"I come here every night for an hour or so."
"Really? I'm hurt that you never talked to me. Remember, we had a bond?" she teased.
He was silent.
She kept it up. "Or maybe, you come every night to try to talk to me, but don't get the courage."
He squirmed a bit. She laughed. "Ah, well, I've found you out, devil."
He put his hands up in mock surrender. "You've got me, I'll admit it."
She smiled, and then laughed. He laughed as well.
"What say you we go somewhere with a little light?"
"After you, M'Lady." he said teasingly. He bowed her out the door. They came into the bar room, which was in shambles. Drinks, glasses, and people littered the floor. She led the way out and into the noonday light. She smelled the air and gave a sad sigh. "I miss the ocean. I miss the sea breeze on my face, but most of all, I miss the Pearl. She was my second home. She was not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails that's what she needed, but what a ship is...what the Black Pearl really is to me...is freedom." "Lovely verse from a lovely lady." He applauded teasingly.
"You know what I think I'm going to do, now that my job is temporarily...encumbered?"
"Hm?"
"I'm going to find Jack. I'm going to find Jack and the Pearl and I'm going to go on a jolly sail around the Caribbean...no, the Spanish Maine...no, the world!" She giggled freely.
"Will you need an escort on such a trip?" He offered his arm.
"I think I shall." She obligingly took it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Angelina and the Mysterious Pirate strolled by a pub. In the alleyway were two very familiar sights.
"Anne!" Jack called heartily, and also heartily drunk.
"Jack."
Jack ran up and threw his arm around her shoulders. The Mysterious Pirate regarded him unhappily. Jack didn't notice.
The other figure, which turned out to be Rum, emerged from the shadows, singing. "Caaaaanyoufeeeeelthelooooooooovetonighttttttt?! Thepeeeeeacetheeeeeeeeeeveninggggggggbrrrrrrings?"
"Rum!"
"Ange-angle-,ah,whatthehell..." She slurred. She gave Angelina a big hug. Then saw the Mysterious Pirate. "Hello....ah,whatthehell!" She hugged him too. He raised his eyebrow.
"Rum, you're...drunk."
"Yeeeesindeedydo. KatandIpillaged,plundered,andotherwisepilferedourweaslyblackgutsout,thenwera nintoJackhere." She tried to point to Jack, but failed miserably. "Hewantedtohaveadrinkingcontest,sowedid. Ibeathimandwasn'teventipsy. Sohegavemeagalssofwaterandboywasitwet!"
"Oh, I remember now. You get drunk off of water. I should have remembered that night Elizabeth had the dinner party..."
"Lovelynightthatwas."
"Jack," Angelina started.
"Hm?"
"Are you thinking of setting sail any time soon?"
"Doesn'thaveanythingtosetsailwith!" Rum shouted.
"Nope,Idon't." Jack said, rather proudly.
"What?!"
"LostthePearlinabet."
"WHAT?!"
"To who?" the Mysterious Pirate asked, sounding more concerned than he should. Everyone gave him an odd look. "Sorry, got caught up in the heat of the moment."
"ME!!!!!" Rum shouted.
If it was possible, Angelina was even more furious. "WHAT?!?!?!?!?! HER?!?!?!"
Jack nodded. "Notcaptainanymore. Shedidletmekeepthehatthough." He patted his head.
"Jack, you sicken me."
"Sorry,love."
"Well, let's go see what damage has been done."
"OK!!" Rum and Jack chorused and followed the other two to the wharf.
On the way, Jack pushed his way up to Angelina. He threw his arm around her. "Youlookverypretty...howsaboutyouandme..."
"No Jack. You repulse me right now."
Jack fell back beside Rum. "She'sgonnaholdthatagainstme,isn'tshe?"
"Yep."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
"Jack! Rum! Where did you go?! I said I was just going to get more rope for the rigging and you two disappear!" Kat stormed up to them and grabbed them by the collar of their shirts.
"Kat!" Angelina hugged her.
"Angelina?"
Angelina nodded.
"Angelina!" Kat just about smothered her. She then realized what she was doing and stopped suddenly. "This incident never happened."
"What incident?" Angelina asked slyly.
Kat laughed. "It's good to have you back." She clapped her on the back, and then noticed the Mysterious Pirate. He took his hat off and bowed. "And your...um..."
"Nope, I just ran into him this morning."
"Oh, OK."
"We're heading down to the Pearl to see what damage has been done since it's been under Rum's command."
"What?"
"Jack lost the Pearl to Rum on a bet."
"WHAT?!"
"That was exactly my reaction."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
They passed the playhouse on the way to the docks. Angelina stopped to see what was on stage at the time and saw Jane up on stage.
"JANE!!" Angelina screamed, running down the aisle and up onto stage. She knocked Jane over hugging her.
"Angelina, you do realize that we're on stage." Jane whispered.
Angelina stopped and looked back at the staring faces of the audience. She laughed nervously and waved. She pulled Jane off stage and shoved the closest actor on to improvise.
"Jane! It's wonderful to see you!"
"You too Angelina, but I'm kinda busy..."
"That's not the Jane I know."
"OK, fine. I couldn't give a damn about the audience and what they think about me."
"Good. We're going on another adventure."
"Oh, what about?"
"We don't know yet, but we're going and you're coming with us."
"Let me just get my luggage." Jane said with a smile.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Jane's two trunks were drug down to the pier and loaded onto the Pearl. Everything was set to sail when they heard an "AHOY!"
It was Sarah and Lina. They were on their own ship in the port. "If you guys are leaving, we're coming too!"
They jumped across a boat in between their ship and the Pearl and swung onto the deck of the Pearl.
"How dare you start a voyage without us." Sarah said, mock-chiding.
"Lina is soooo happy to see all of you!"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
As they pulled out of port, there was a scream. They looked on the beach two girls in dresses and a well dressed man were on the beach. The two girls seemed to be annoying the man.
"Wait a minute! I'd know that cape anywhere!" Kat said.
"And I'd know those screams." Angelina said.
"ORLA! GABRIEL! JESSE!" Kat yelled.
The blonde girl looked over and started waving frantically.
"HI!!!!" shouted Rum.
Gabriel and Orla took off at a sprint for the ship. Jesse followed, trying to keep composure, while fighting the urged to run himself.
The two girls were thrown line and were pulled up. Jesse was thrown a line much later as he arrived at least five minutes after the girls.
Gabriel and Orla ran around the deck, hugging everyone and screaming for joy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Much later in the bay, they spotted an excursion boat with elite members of society on it.
Kat smiled mischievously. "Let's pillage it, for old time's sake."
"Right behind you!" Angelina, Gabriel, Orla, Sarah, Lina, and Rum called. They slid down a rope and jumped onto the deck, causing general panic. Three girls and a man were sitting at a table, unafraid.
The man spotted Lina and started to get up to run.
"WILL!!!!" Lina chased him. "LINA LOVES YOOOOOOOOU!!!"
Elizabeth, still sitting pouted.
One other girl turned around and got up, laughing. "KAT!" It was AnnaMariea. There was another joyful reunion and then AnnaMariea turned to the other girl sitting in the chair. She looked to be about 15 and she smiled, welcomingly.
"Everyone, this is my good friend, Charlotte Moore."
"Hello." Charlotte said, curtsying.
"Please do not be formal. We're..." Angelina beamed. "We're pirates."
