A/N: The way that you pronounce the title of the chapter is very simple, pretend that it is spelled like this "IS MEAN" and you're probably thinking, "What the heck does this have to do with the story?" Well, you're going to have to read to find out won't you? Thanks again for reviewing!
Chapter 5
Jack woke up the next morning, to find himself sleeping next to Miranda. He smiled as he looked into her heavenly face as she slept. He kissed her forehead and quietly got out of bed to get dressed. Once he was done, he quietly opened the door. He steppped outside into the beautiful morning. His eyes searched the deck for any sign of life. Jack spotted the young girl he saw dancing last night sitting on the floor playing with her doll. He walked over to her, "Good mornin', what's a pretty little girl like you doing out here all alone this early in the morning?" The young girl looked up and smiled at him, "Good Morning, Captain, I'm just playing with my doll." Jack sat down next to her, "How long have you been on this ship, luv?" her mouth twisted in thought, "All thirteen years of my life, Captain. The Princessa Gothica is my only home, and the crew here is my family..." Jack looked at her, "Where's your father?" She smiled sadly, "I was told he died before I was born." She ran her hands through her long raven hair. Jack eyes saddened, "Sorry there luv, didn't know..." The girl silently nodded. Jack looked at her and smiled, "I'm Jack Sparrow, and you might be?" The girl shook his hand, "Ismene. So I heard that you and the Captain knew each other from childhood." Jack took his sword out and started sharpening it, "Aye, you could say that, Ismene. We were...close friends." Jack smiled to himself.
Miranda's eyes slowly opened , she turned over to get the sun from shining directly into her eyes, and tried to get back to sleep. She heard a door close and footsteps approaching. She stayed still ready to defend herself if necessary. Her covers were then thrown off of her body, "Miranda, wake up, it's ten-thirty in the morning and you should be out there commanding your crew!" She recognized that it was Nana. Miranda got groggily out of bed, and went to her closet, "Nana, what should I wear today?" Nana surveyed the closet's items, "Wear the purple and white dress. I always liked it on you." She helped the young woman put on the dress. After she was done, Miranda pulled out her silver necklace, "Should I wear this one?" the old woman smiled, "I have a better one for you to wear. I'll be back." She went out of the Captain's room and after a few minutes, came back with a velvet case in her hand, "Wear this instead." Miranda opened the box. Inside laid a gold necklace with a medium medallion made with pure gold with ancient inscriptions, "Oh Nana..." the woman smiled, "It was yours when you were younger.. I thought you might want it back." "Thank you Nana..." She hugged the old woman. "Come now, my sweet, breakfast is ready." They left the room to join the others.
Captain Barbossa sat on the deck of his ship, with his eyes on the Princessa Gothica. One of his crew members came up, "Any orders Captain?" Barbossa smiled, "Be ready to jump aboard the ship at the moment when we sail close enough. When we get on board, kill all except Miranda, let me take care of her. She has something of mine, and I want it back."
"Good mornin', Captain was heared throughout the kitchen as Miranda came in. She smiled at her friends, "Good mornin', mates, oh come on now, don't let all this food go to waste, eat up." She saw Jack, Will, and Ismene sitting together. She went over, "Good mornin' you three, I hope you slept well." She bent over and gave a kiss to Jack and Ismene. Jack looked at Miranda quizzically, but she merely smiled. Jack and Will began to talk about Captain Barbossa while Ismene and Miranda listened, "Jack, I can't help but think that Barbossa isn't too far away..." Jack sipped his coffee, and pointed his finger at Will, "Never, ever, underestimate the intelligence of Captain Barbossa, he's a slimy bastard, and won't stop at nothing to get what he wants." Ismene's eyes widened, "You don't think he'd come and attack us, do you?" Miranda put her hand on hers, "Don't worry, luv. I won't let him hurt you, I promise." Ismene smiled in relief. After a while, all the plates were cleared and everyone went up to the deck and started working. Miranda strolled around supervising everyone. She noticed Ismene sitting on the floor looking sad and combing her doll's hair. She squatted down on the floor, "What's wrong, luv?" "Nothing, just trying to imagine what my dad was like..." Miranda looked at her, "If you only knew" she thought to herself. She cleared her throat, "Well, your dad was a great man, funny, charming, and one hell of a looker." The two girls laughed, "Yeah, he always knew how to win a lady's heart, whether or not the lady wanted to love him at all." She smiled, "But, let's not talk about this now. We have work to do!"
Jack walked around and found himself in the kitchen once more. There he saw Nana washing plates, "Why hello again, Nana, you're looking quite ravishing." He complimented the old woman whose hair was all uncombed and wild looking. She looked at him scathingly, "You... shut the hell up, I don't have time for this, I'm actually working, and not laying on my ass doing nothing!" Jack's eyes widened, "Come now Nana, just because I'll be your future son-in-law, does not mean yer allowed to treat me this way." Nana laughed. Jack took this opportunity to ask something that was bothering him all day, "Where is Ismene's mother?" Nana dropped a plate that smashed when it hit the floor, "Remember when I told you that Miranda washed up on shore and was about to say something when Miranda cut me off?" Jack nodded, "Well, Jack, Miranda was, pregnant..." His eyes widened, "No... she slept with someone else?" "No, Jack she-" Jack's temper blew up, "That little bitch, I'll kill her!" he stormed out of the room drinking his bottle of rum that hung on his belt.
Miranda sat at her desk when the door swung open. Jack came in totally intoxicated and started to strangle her, "YOU DIRTY LITTLE WHORE! YOU USED ME, NOW I'LL KILL YOU!" Miranda started to kick, struggling to get free, "No, Jack I never cheated on you, I only love you." She started gasping for air, "I tried to tell you last night but, Nana interrupted me and I thought I'll just tell you later." Jack totally ignored the last comment, "WHO'S THE FATHER, I'LL FIND HIM AND KILL HIM TOO!" Tears started flowing down Miranda's cheeks as she tried to reason with him, "Please, Jack listen to me!" He kept on rambling until he tightened up the grip on her neck, "WHO IS HE?" She looked into his eyes, a look that Jack would never forget, "Jack, she's yours..."
A/N: So, what did you think? I know, I know, everyone is doing that, but I thought it would be an interesting little twist to the story. Thanks again to all of you who've reviewed and I hope this chapter isn't a big disappointment. Until Chapter 6... see you later! R+R!
