Hey everyone! It's half term for me throws party, with rum… and Jack!> I'm putting this chapter up today coz I have nothing else to do! Enjoy! Disclaimer: Typically, I do not own Jack, or the Pearl, or Ana. I do own Nakada, and all the evil pirates aboard the Leviathan, including Nates and Nathan (all my characters names begin with the letter N)!
"Sail
hoy!" came the yell from the crow's nest as the sun broke the
sky. Jack came running from his cabin, closely followed by Anamaria.
He stood at the quarterdeck and pulled out his telescope, training it
on the small sheet of white on the sea. Ana watched him cautiously
and stood at his side.
"Is that
them?" she asked, breaking the silence that had begun to consume
the Pearl.
"Aye."
Jack replied through gritted teeth "That's them alright." He
pocketed his telescope and turned around
"Hoist
the sails to catch the wind!" he barked "I want to catch that
ship!" He turned back to Ana, looked at her for a second and turned
back
"Load a
cannon to send a warning shot and be sure your weapons are close at
hand!" He walked over to the helm and took it from Gibbs, a
determined look set on his face as they swiftly approached the
Leviathan.
Nakada slipped in and out of consciousness, she was back in her cell and pain was exploding from her shoulder and back. Her back and chest felt tight and restricted and her trembling fingers found that part of it was because of the bandages that covered her torso. Each time she came too she could hear the creak of the wood, the lap of the waves and the hollers of the crew as they went about their work. Yet, when she next awoke, a loud boom came followed shortly by a splash, Nakada heard shouts and screams from the Leviathan's crew and several loud booms, ones from the cannons on the ship she was prisoner of. She whimpered as the ship lurched, throwing her backwards and then the cannon fire stops, the clash of weapons and the yells and screams of fighting, injured and dieing men taking it place. Her heart soared as she heard these sounds, she didn't care who was on the ship but she knew that the Leviathan was under attack and that she had a chance of be saved from the tortures Nates showed her.
The door to the hull was thrown open and Nakada shut her eyes, hoping that if it were Nates, he would think her to be unconscious and wouldn't drag her onto the deck. Footsteps pounded down the stairs, stopping outside her cell.
"Nakada?"
a voice called out, full of worry. Nakada opened her eyes and stared
out at the person outside of her cell.
"Ana?"
she called out hoarsely, pain shooting through her body as she lifted
her head slightly to be sure that it was Ana. "Why are you here?"
she asked
"We're
here to get you out." Ana replied, "Where are the keys?"
"Nates
keeps them on him," Nakada said "At all times" the words
sounded like a torture upon itself to the girl.
"Stay
here." Ana said hastily "I'll be right back."
"Like
I've got anywhere else to go." Nakada murmured as she watched Ana
grab a (conveniently placed) bench from by the stairs "What are you
doing?" Ana placed the bench legs between the cell bars
"Wills
trick" she replied simply and pushed her weight onto the bench, the
door of the cell lifted free and Ana pushed it aside, letting it and
the bench fall noisily to the floor. She stepped over to Nakada and
looked down at her
"Oh God
Nakada." She whispered, "What have they done to you?" she
dropped down and started to examine her friend's bandages
"I'll
tell you after, get me off this ship for now please!" Nakada
replied quickly. Ana nodded
"Can you
stand?" she asked
"I don't
know," came the weak reply "Help me up though." Ana helped
Nakada to place her left arm around her neck before straightening up,
pulling the young female up with her. Nakada let out a hiss of pain
as she straightened and swayed slightly on the spot. They then walked
slowly up to the deck. Ana's hand moved to her sword and unsheathed
it as they stepped out into the sunlight. The crews of the Black
Pearl and the Leviathan were battling ferociously. Although the
Pearl's crew was winning the Leviathan's showed no signs of
giving up. Nakada stiffened as her eyes landed on Nates, who was
battling Jack at the helm.
"Come on
Nakada!" Ana called out next to her "Jack'll kill me if I keep
you here."
"Wait-"
Nakada whispered and pulled away, she limped across the deck to
Nates' cabin and went inside. Several minutes later she came back
out holding the glowing poker warily and limped over to where Nates
and Jack were fighting and coughed loudly to get their attention.
"Nakada!"
Jack yelled, lowering his sword slightly
"Don't
make me start on you too girl." Nates growled. Nakada faltered
slightly before raising the poker and stepping towards Nates
"You
won't be able to use that girl." Nates snorted. Nakada's eyes
blazed with fury and she swung the poker, it caught Nates in his eye
and burnt deep. He gave a strangled yell and fell to the floor, dead.
"I think
I can Nates." Nakada yelled and dropped the poker, it rolled away
as she swayed, pain and exhaustion taking her again. Jack rushed over
to her and lifted her up before she could fall
"Men,
Nates is dead!" he yelled, "I want everything of value on the
Pearl and then this ship is to be out of the water! Lock her crew in
the brig!" He carried Nakada over the gangplank and into his cabin,
Ana following closely and locked Jack's cabin as she entered.
Jack sat
his daughter on his bed and sat next to her. Her eyes were full of
fear, pain and exhaustion and she leaned heavily on his shoulder, a
tear slid down her cheek.
"Hey,"
Jack said, looking down at her in surprise "You okay?" Nakada
shook her head slightly as more tears spilled form her eyes
"No,"
she sobbed, "He tortured me Jack! He wanted something I didn't
have so he tortured me!" Her body shook violently and her breathing
became ragged and harsh as she sobbed hysterically. Jack's features
went hard and he gently put an arm around Nakada's shoulders.
"What
did the bastard do to you?" he growled, rocking his daughter
slightly, yet Nakada was took hysterical and pained to answer and
only cried harder. Jack stroked her hair, murmuring softly to her so
she'd calm down. As Nakada slipped unconscious again, Jack passed
her to Ana and left the cabin, locking it behind him. Ana shifted
Nakada so that the girl would be more comfortable and carefully undid
the bandages around her back.
"Oh
hell!" Ana breathed when the bandages fell loose "Jack! Get in
here!" she called and several moments later Jack burst into the
room
"What!
What wrong!" he asked as she skidded to a stop beside the bed.
Ana moved around slightly so Jack could see the large, angry burns on
his daughter's back.
"Jesus!"
he yelled, shocked "Gibbs get in here!"
Nakada woke up to find she was being held tightly around the waist, but whoever was holding her was being careful to avoid the burns on her back. Another handheld her right arm. She whimpered and tried to pull out of her captures' grasps and screamed slightly as pain surged across her back and right shoulder.
"Hush lass, it's only us." A voice said soothingly and Nakada recognised it to be Jack's
"'Tis badly dislocated Captain." Another voice said, this time Gibbs'. One of the hands around Nakada's waist moved and brushed the hair from her eyes.
"Ana, hold her left arm down." Jack said, "Nakada, luv. We've got to put your shoulder back into place so this is gonna hurt alright?" Nakada whimpered silently but nodded. Jack moved off for a moment but returned with a bottle of rum, which he gave Nakada to 'help with the pain'. Gibbs gently took Nakada's right shoulder in one hand and her upper arm in the other. He then looked at the tight-faced Jack and then at the pale girl, who looked back tearfully and nodded dumbly before turning her head away, as if the whole thing would disgust her in someway. Gibbs gritted his teeth and quickly pushed Nakada's arm back into its socket. There was a slight sound of bone grating against bone and a painful scream from the girl before she went limp.
"She
fainted." Gibbs muttered to Jack and Ana "Pain must have been to
great for her." He moved around and inspected her back "I'll
need some water, cloth, bandages and rum to try and clear this one up
Captain." Jack nodded and Gibbs went out to gather the listed
supplies. A loud bang came from nearby, followed by cheers from the
crew and the Black Pearl rocked in the water. Jack sat down next to
Ana and Nakada and sighed heavily
"Nates
is a cruel, cold hearted man Jack." Ana said as she passed his
daughter to him "He doesn't deserve to lie at the bottom of the
ocean with his ship." Jack nodded and toyed with a lock of his
daughter's hair.
"Aye,
but the lass was able to get her revenge of him." He replied,
looking down at his pale child.
Sorry if parts of this chapter are wierd, I've never dislocated something, or got third-degree burns, so I wouldn't have a clue on any of that. I have been shot, which was funny for everyone in school bar me. Anyway... I hope you liked the chapter!
