Chapter 4
Jack took a step back, looking at the woman in disbelief, "No... it can't be, Miranda?" She smiled and nodded as the tears trickled down her face. He shook his head, laughing harshly, "I get lass, you're trying to break me down. No one can break the mighty Captain Jack Sparrow!" The crew stood wordlessly around them listening in on the conversation. Miranda became aware of this and decided to move this painful situation into a more private area, "Very well then, Jack. Follow me into my headquarters, and bring your friend too." Miranda walked off into her chamber followed by Jack, Will and Nana. She unbolted the door when she got there and led them inside, "Well, it's not much, but it's home." The two of them looked around the lavishly decorated room, "Wow... seem to have been quite successful, being a female pirate and all..." Miranda whipped around so quickly, it seemed a miracle that she didn't fall over, "What do yer mean being a female pirate and all?" She put her hand on her sword handle. Will eyed it apprehensively. Jack spoke on his companion's defense, "Please forgive him, mate, he has no idea what he's saying," Jack eyed Will with contempt, "He's quite an idiot if you ask me." Her eyes rested upon Jack's companion, "And what might yer name be, mate?" Will struggled to keep his calm, "Will Turner, my lady." Miranda smiled fiercely, "Well Will, if I were you, I would watch my tongue around the female members of my crew. They don't take kindly to sexist remarks" She pulled out her dagger and placed it to his neck, "If you get the drift" Will nodded as sweat slowly dripped down his face. She removed the dagger, "Please sit down gentlemen, would you like some rum?" Nana spoke up, "Young lady, you shouldn't be drinking this stuff, it's bad for you." The young woman rolled her eyes, "Nana, I'm twenty-five years old now, I'm very able to make my own decisions." "Okay, but don't come to me complaining that you feel sick afterwards!" Miranda sighed and sat down with the drinks. She passed a glass to everyone except Nana, who just showed her disdain with a simple, "Humph!" Miranda flashed a smile to Jack, "So, gentlemen, how would you like me to prove myself?" Jack leaned "What was my luv's name?" "Miranda de la Costa." Nana went into a coughing fit and later started gasping for air, "Oh my God..." Jack looked at her but asked another question, "Did we ever have sex?" Miranda smiled seductively, "Yes, and my were you good at it, Jack." Nana started screaming, "I thought I brought you up better than that!" Jack's heart started pounding violently, "My God...how old were we?" Miranda saw him starting to believe her, "Twelve." "Miranda..." He got up and hugged her, taking in that familiar smell, whose absence made his heart ache after all those years. She closed her eyes, listening to his heartbeat. She then felt her chin lifted up and opened her eyes to see Jack's beautiful eyes staring back at her, He claimed her mouth with his, he teased her lip with his tongue, sending shivers up and down her spine. Nana and Will stood up. Will opened his mouth to try to say something, but failed miserably. On the other hand, Nana got up and yelled, "WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS?" Miranda and Jack parted and smiled. Miranda held his hand, "Nana, this is my one true love from my childhood, Jack Sparrow." Nana's softened, "Oh, yes, I remember you telling me often of him, though you did leave out some of the details." She looked at her reproachfully. Miranda smiled. Jack jumped in before the situation would get ugly between these two, "How did you survive the ship accident? My mom told me there were no survivors." Miranda sighed, "I awoke on a piece of debris, I looked everywhere for the bodies of my mom, dad, and brother, but I thought that they were lost at sea. I laid on that piece of wood for days and let the ocean take me where ever. After a week, I found myself laying on a beach." Nana jumped in, "Good thing I was out doing my shopping. To get to the market in Italy, I have to walk by the beach. That morning I walked by there as usual and I find her laying there half dead, I knew that I had to get her to the doctor, especially when I found out that she was-" Miranda gave her a threatening look, "-starving to death." Nana focused on the floor. Miranda continued, " I was fine after a week and Nana took me in along with her husband, Charles. When I was eighteen, Charles died, and left me a ship and named it after what he liked best, Gothic items and growing up I loved princesses so I named it in Spanish calling my ship, Gothic Princess. Nana traveled along with me and I started building a crew and training how to fight when that one day I would avenge my family. So I eventually became a pirate, and I never regretted one moment of it." Nana wiped her eyes, "She's had a very hard life that no one deserves to live..." She sniffed, "Miranda I'm going to go prepare dinner." Miranda looked out the window and saw that it was indeed getting late, "Aye Nana, you go do that while I shall prepare two extra beds for our guests."
The time flew by quickly and dinner was finally served. Everyone sat down on the ship's deck with torches lighting up the area so everyone could see. There was laughter in the air as they shared their raiding villages stories and funniest memories. After every stomach was bursting with food, they all lifted up their bottles of rum and started singing a rousing chorus of "A Pirate's Life for Me" more laughter ensued as the young girl with brown eyes and long raven hair started dancing. Miranda parted away from the group and gazed out into the starry night. "They're beautiful aren't they?" Miranda turned around and saw Jack standing there. In Jack's recollection, this had to be the first time he wasn't drunk in a long while. She smiled, "Yes, they're gorgeous." Jack kissed her, "Just like you are, luv." She looked into his eyes, "Jack, I'm scared of facing Barbossa.." He drew her into his arms, "Don't worry I'll make sure you're never touched by him." She smiled, "Does that mean you're staying with me?" "Of course luv, till death do us part." They kissed. After they parted Miranda laid her head against his, "Jack, I have to tell you something after I left you to start a new life I-" Nana came over, "Come on you two, dessert is served!" Jack laughed, "We'll be there in just a minute Nana," Nana left them, "Now luv, what was it that you wanted to say?" She smiled, "Never mind, let's get some dessert." They walked off hand in hand to rejoin the group.
Barbossa smiled as he put away his telescope. He would finally get to do what he wanted to do in so many long years. "Captain, should we attack them in surprise?" one of his crew members asked. He merely smiled, "No, let us hoist anchors here, I want them to see us coming." He laughed wickedly as all the anchors of the ship landed in the ocean water with a clunk.
A/N: So! we finally get to meet Barbossa. What does he have in plan for our heroes? Well, guess you have to keep reading to find out huh? Until then, See you in Chapter 5! R+R!
