Disclaimer: I don't own PotC, The Blac Pearl or Jack (although he is living in my wardarobe right now...) I do own Nakada though, and that gypsy woman, and the sharks.
Jack stood on the deck, staring out over the calm blue ocean. The moon reflecting off it gave the whole ocean a mysterious feel; it was no wonder that a seafaring person couldn't be away from his ship for even a few hours before missing it.
The sound of movement behind him did not make Jack stir from looking at the sea, he only showed he knew someone was there when they leant against the rail beside him.
"You should be resting luv." Jack said
"Hmmm." Came the distracted reply as Nakada stared absent-minded over the ocean
"Are you alright luv?" Jack asked
"Hmmm." Nakada repeated
"Do you mind if I throw you overboard luv?" Jack asked, eyes glinting with humour.
"Very funny Jack." Nakada said sarcastically, traces of a smile playing at the corners of her mouth.
"Just checking to see if anyone was in their lass." Jack replied, ruffling his daughter's hair. Nakada pulled her arms up to her chest and shivered, a movement so slight it was barely noticeable.
"Cold lass?" Jack asked, having seen the 'barely noticeable' shiver
"Hmmm." Nakada said again
Jack sighed and took his coat off, draping it around his daughter's shoulders. She breathed in the comforting scent of it and pulled it round her tightly. She was staring out over the sea again and, after several moments of watching his daughter, Jack did the same. A silence fell between them, broken only by the lap of the waves, the creak of the wood and the rustle of the sails.
"Jack." Nakada said eventually
"Yes luv?"
"Back when – Nates took me. When he – tortured me." She spoke slowly; weighing each word carefully "He said something about a key, and a location. He thought I knew about them and that's why he – tortured me." Tears were beginning to fall from her eyes and Jack pulled the younger Sparrow close to him.
"And
then what – Nathan said." Nakada continued and Jack growled and
held his daughter tighter at the mention of his former crewmembers
name "There was something I realised then. We need to find what
they wanted, Nathan and Nates. Maybe others want it to." She
faltered slightly then looked at Jack, determination etched into her
tear marked face.
"We have
to find that gypsy that Nathan mentioned, she knows what they want,
she'll tell us." Her voice grew silent and she stared out at the
ocean again. Silence once again fell between the two.
"Get some rest Nakada." Jack said finally, breaking the silence. "We'll find this gypsy lady and get the information we need. We'll have to hope she's told no one else about it, or we'll be in more trouble." Nakada nodded mutely, and stumbled off to the cabins, Jack's coat still wrapped tightly around her.
Jack
continued to stare out across the ocean. Because of some gypsy woman,
and some key and location, his daughter could be in more danger than
before with Nates and Nathan.
Jack
unsheathed his dirk and held it up, so the moon was reflected in the
blade. In one swift movement, he slid the blade across one of his
fingers, cutting deep. He watched as the blood flowed from the cut
onto the deck and then slowly moved his hand over the rail, so the
blood dripped into the sea.
"I promise you Nakada," he whispered, as the blood dripped steadily "I won't let any more harm come to you from this adventure." As soon as the promise was made, Jack fell silent and walked slowly to the helm, thinking over what Nakada had said to him.
Argh! (Attempts to hack out eyes with spoons) Ick Ick Ick! I hate that ending; Jack felt the need to feed the sharks human blood, that sounds much better than a promise! Yes… anyway, only one more chapter!
To My Reviewers:
Jinxeh: Sequel? What sequel? Who told you about this? Yes I have a sequel coming soon, it's called: '?' (Hee hee, I'm not going to give out that information just yet). Cuteness sucks! Then I can't say that much, this whole chapter is kinda cute, it doesn't help that I'm listening to Oasis (something I never do, someone made a bet I couldn't listen to them.) Yes, I am very Jack deprived in your story! Nakada will be okay! Promise! (Hides from angry Jinxeh). Very nice Diet Dr. Pepper advert, I hope you make lots of money that way! Oh, and I couldn't help but notice your profile, I wonder who it is who has the theories up (lol)!
Blairwitch: Ok Sian, hold up, I'm going as fast as I can to put these chapters up. Anyway, you know most of all that I only put them up every Friday!
Windvuur: Heeheehee. Burst Pipe Day was great. I only took me… 6 ½ hours to write the last three chapters on to paper! Not to worry! There will be a sequel!
Radcliffe18: I don't do long chapters! I'm sorry! It's not in my nature to write a long chapter! When you said 'How rude' I was, for some reason, reminded of JaJa from Star Wars! I didn't get to read the last chapter of 'A Sparrow's Tale'! Dang it!
Tinkthefairy:
No staring at his chest in life or death situations of his
daughter! (Fails to admit I did the same)… Damn it! I just wrote
that, didn't I? You can still write 'Death to Nathan!' if you
want – or you can change it to 'Death to the Evil Gypsy
Woman!' Maybe I'll have her call Jack 'Dad' to his face
soon.
Damn it!
HE LOVES ME! ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME! He
told me so earlier, and again just now, and again, and again, and
again…
Get it
through your head! He loves
MMMMMMEEEEEEEEEE!
