Chapter 25:

The once soothing sounds of the Black Pearl rocking back and forth in the waves now groaned loudly like a man dying and creaked so badly that Alexandra feared that the ship might suddenly sink and take her down into the depths of the sea. Having fled Jack's room Alexandra now wandered in the bowels of the ship past rooms and doors, which she no longer recognised.

Alexandra wasn't quite sure what had compelled her to run or why she had run to here, there was really no sense in her actions but it seemed that there was no point in turning back to face Jack when he was in a temper like that. The tears were slowly receding and yet she still felt the pain and upset that had hit her when Jack had questioned her. Love was such a fickle thing and although she thought she knew what it was to love she had now succeeded in proving herself wrong.

The corridor she walked along seemed endless due to the lack of natural light and the flickering candles which were few and sparsely spaced along the corridor. She supposed hardly anyone came down here because of this but at the back of her mind she could just about remember Jack perhaps bringing her once down here, but they hadn't really paid much attention to their surroundings and instead more attentions to...each other. Placing a hand against the dark wood Alexandra continued to follow the wall to her left, she eventually came across a door which had been left half open very much unlike the others which she had passed, majority of which were locked. Deciding that there was no point turning back now Alexandra pushed upon the door with some difficulty.

The room was damp and cold, and the smell of rotting food and who knew what else flooded Alexandra senses, she recoiled back covering her mouth and nose with her hands. Waiting Alexandra blinked back the tears until the watering of her eyes had ceased and wiping her eyes with the sleeve of her gown Alexandra took a deep breath trying to compose herself, before continuing on into the room. Peering into the cell on her left she found that it was empty and seemed to have a coating of...well what ever it was Alexandra came to the conclusion that her room was far nicer.

As Alexandra looked into the right hand cell she could make out the hunched form of a person huddled in the corner. Making sure she didn't get to close Alexandra tried to get a better look at the person now curious to see whom Jack had contained down in this wretched place.

"What's a pretty little thing like you doing down in these cells my dear? Seems like you have been crying my pet"

Alexandra took a step back as the figure uncurled itself from the corner and stretched. As Alexandra stared she began to realise who it was that was now trapped behind the bars. Alexandra stared at man who was now stretching and beginning to stand up. She immediately recognised his face knowing that only one person that could make such a sincere comment sound so lurid and loose her faith in pirate men. It was all because of him that she in this mess anyway, if he hadn't of taken her and sold her off she would never have been bought by Jack and so on. Yet she was still hopeful that the man behind the bars was not who she thought it was.

"Captain Loros...?"

The man nodded and stepped up to the bars where the candle light fell across his face revealing the same sapphire eyes which she had grown to despise during her short stay aboard Jaded Dragon. Captain Loros smiled at continued to run his eyes over Alexandra's form. He pondered for a moment before laughing a deep cruel laugh.

"How does a lovely young lady like you know my name..."

Captain Loros leant up against the bars and stared at Alexandra's face intently at first he seemed unsure of whom she was but as Alexandra watched the hint of recognition passed through his eyes.

"Well! If it isn't the little deck swabbing governors daughter...the one I sold to Captain Jack Sparrow for a tidy sum... There I was thinking he must have dumped you off on some little island...looks like I was very wrong."

Captain Loros slid his arms between the bars and clicked his fingers individually making Alexandra wince slightly at the repulsive sound. He continued to stare at her not caring for any form of manners but what should she expect of such a foul man. ]

"It seems like our Captain here has done a good job in claiming you as his own...when's the little cherub due."

Captain Loros reached out towards Alexandra, his fingertips just lightly brushing against her stomach. She stepped back again wrapping her arms over her stomach protectively as if trying to shield the unborn child from his touch. Alexandra watched him carefully as he laughed again sending shivers down her spine, emotions welled up in her and the opportunity for her to express all that pent up emotion arose. Alexandra straightened her form and confronted him.

"Don't touch me you...you bastard! Whatever you have been thrown in here for I'm glad you were. Jack was certainly right to throw you in this wretched cell...personally I would have thrown you overboard!"

Captain Loros paced back and forth in his cell like a trapped tiger, his eyes trailing over Alexandra form ever so often. He smiled stopping for a moment and resuming his position against the bars.

"Yes you were always a bit feisty as I remember but you certainly have changed...matured haven't we. And there is no need to use your sharp tongue against me. I never laid a finger on you and neither did my men and we sold you off to the highest bidder so I wouldn't say we treated you all that bad."

Alexandra glared at the man wanting to leave but at the same time was unsure of where to go there was no comeback at the tip of her tongue so very much like a child she sulkily leant back against the bars of the cell behind her. Captain Loros had begun to pace again, allowing his fingers to run along the bars letting out a continuous thudding sound. Above them Alexandra could hear the men running around and some yelling but the sounds were far too muffled to work out what was being said.

"So why are you down here pet? It sounds to me that the men are looking for their Captain's toy. What have you done now? You aren't refusing your dear Captain sex are you now. I hear it is meant to be far better when the women are pregnant...more responsive."

Alexandra stared at Captain Loros before lunging at him and hitting the bars. He stepped back from them and watched her try to swipe at him through the bars as he laughed.

"DON'T YOU DARE TALK ABOUT ME LIKE THAT! I'm no whore...I gave myself to Jack willingly he never took anything from because I gave it to him!"

Before Alexandra could step back away from the bars Captain Loros quickly moved back towards the front of the cell and snaked an arm around her waist. His fingers began to rub her lower back gently as his other hand rested just on the top of her bump. Alexandra was repulsed by his actions and wanted to pull away she didn't want him anywhere near her or her unborn child. Captain Loros smiled at Alexandra as she struggled and fought against him.

"Now now you don't want to do you or the little babe any harm before its born...do you? So you might want to calm your temper."

Alexandra pushed back trying to get away but Captain Loros's arm remained still, holding her close to the bars but not enough or to hard to harm her or the child. She spat at him glaring at him and wishing that somebody would hurry up and find her contradicting her previous thoughts.

"You certainly have become a fine young woman my dear. I never remember you having such exquisite curves and now that your pregnant it seems you have developed them far more than before. Pity I sold you off to that fool, I doubt he even appreciates your body, as I am sure I would."

She could feel his hand on her stomach slowly begin to move upwards and his arm around her waist pull her closer. Alexandra felt fear rush through her and screamed as loudly as she could. Captain Loros laughed as she screamed again yelling for help for anyone, he raised his hand from her stomach and placed it on her cheek, but it was at this point Alexandra managed to get a good swift kick at his shins between the bars. Captain Loros's face contorted with pain as he glared at her and tightened his grip on her cheek. Unsure of what he would do Alexandra closed her eyes and gripped at his arm trying to make him let go but it was the sound of footsteps running down the stairs towards the cell that made Captain Loros let go.

Thrusting her backwards Captain Loros allowed Alexandra to stumble backwards into the cell behind her and slide to the floor in a heap. The door swung open to reveal Gibbs and Jack both stood there cutlasses drawn ready for anything. The sight, which greeted them, was of Alexandra sat in an awkward manner on the floor and Captain Loros pacing back and forth.

"You better not hav' laid a finger on her Loros."

Jack's tone was threatening but his attention went quickly to Alexandra who seemed stunned. As Gibbs dealt with Captain Loros making sure to yell several obscenities and threats, Jack knelt down beside Alexandra. He reached out and gently touched the red mark on her cheek where Captain Loros hand had once been. Alexandra hardly flinched as she took a deep breath and looked Jack in the eyes.

Jack had already searched most of the ships sleeping quarters and was about to begin in the kitchen when one of the crew alerted them to the more feminine scream coming from the cells. It had only been then that it had dawned on Jack that Alexandra could have gone into there.

"Luv we need to get ye t' your room. I'll carry ye so please let me help."

Alexandra shook her head and began to pull herself up, using the bars of the cell behind her. Jack watched on as Alexandra righted herself and tided her gown she wouldn't make eye contact with him and continued to stare at her feet.

Jack didn't wait for her response or for Alexandra to walk away but instead swiftly scooped her up into his arms and began to make his way up towards the deck. Alexandra fidgeted at first but seemed reluctant to fight any more, Jack wasn't sure what exactly had happened down in the cell between Loros and Alexandra but from the way she seemed so quiet he could only wait to get his hands on Loros. Lashing perhaps seemed a little too lenient; he would need time to think of a suitable punishment.

Yet it wasn't only Alexandra's encounter with Loros that had Jack worried, he knew that their earlier argument had left things extremely tense between them. Jack wanted to take her back to his cabin but knew that the way he had treated her earlier perhaps that wasn't the best move. Yet he didn't want to just leave her in that box of a room by herself. Sighing Jack decided to take her into his cabin and suffer any consequences later.

Alexandra lay sleeping on Jack's bed, hardly a word had been spoken between them since he had brought her in there and having been quickly checked over by Anamaria she had fallen asleep. Jack didn't have the heart to move her over so he could sleep as well but she seemed so peaceful. His heart felt torn into two, he was still so very angry with her yet seeing her so weak and vulnerable all that hate turned to guilt.

Gibbs and Anamaria along with various other crewmembers were sat having just finished their meal in the galley. The low hum of conversation was occasionally broken by the cry of joy or anger at a card game or dice game being played. The conversation had passed from the daily events, the next place their were to dock and finally to Jack and Alexandra.

A few bets had been placed on whether Jack was going to leave Alexandra at the next port but still most of the crew were surprised at his actions. They all knew that Jack was a ladies man who certainly enjoyed the female company in more ways than one. There had been a few of women who had stayed around more than just a week, but those women were few and far between. Alexandra was the first woman to have ever had such an effect on their Captain.

Of course the crew all knew Elizabeth and Will and had became close friends to them over the years, so Alexandra had been no different to them. But once they had found out the feelings Jack had for the young governors daughter, their attitudes had slightly changed. Still their friendship had been there but they felt that perhaps she had changed Jack...in many ways for the best but then Jack no longer had the need or urge to visit Tortuga as often as he once had. His rum intake though remained the same amount, seemed to be a little more restrained especially when around Alexandra.

Jack sat outside the cabin enjoying the evening air mixed with his bottle of rum clasped in his hand. Heading for Tortuga had seemed the best idea, as although there were many brothels and whores, bars and taverns there were a couple of quieter good hotels where a sailor or pirate could relax away from the attraction of Tortuga's typical scene. They were two days sailing away and Jack hoped that over those two days that his relationship with Alexandra would begin to repair. The bridge that had occurred between them seemed so vast that at one point Jack was worried that there was nothing left to fight for.

But that wasn't what Jack was made of, he was a fighter and would win back Alexandra whether he had to lock her up and adorn her with jewels and riches beyond any woman's dream. Looking up at the starts Jack smiled and took a long swig from his bottle. He would start over...try again and work from the very beginning with Alexandra. If that child was his he wanted to be there to support Alexandra every step of the way...and if it wasn't...well he would deal with that when the time came.

Well there you have it! Review...thank you and goodnight! xxx
