To Dawnie-7: Aww. You're so sweet! I'm glad it was worth the wait.

To Cagalli: So sorry about the cliffies! But most times, it's just the only place I can stop the chapter.

To CJ*-Cj: Gaah! Please don't be dead! And I'm apologizing in advance for the way this one ends. . .

To Quietly Making Noise: Ooooh. More theories! Yay! ^_^ And I rather like softy-Jack. ^_~

To dizzy izzy: Much suspicious indeed. . . *looks around warily*

To Eccentric Banshee: Don't die! Then you can't give me awesome reviews anymore!

To Lady Deidra: Thank you very much for your comments. ^_^ I'm glad you like the titles. I thought it was a different idea. ^_^ Please review again!

To AngryTolkienPurist: Gasp! How ominous. . .

To missjensparrow: Sorry about the cliffie! And yes, Ronan's just a friend. But he is sweet isn't he? ^_^ He just wrote himself in there one day. . .

To Captain Marksman: I'm so glad you like it! And I try not to do cliffies that often, but sometimes that's just where the chapter stops. . .

To Trinity144: I'm sorry you hate them. :'( I don't try to make cliffies. . . But Giselle is going away soon. I promise. ^_^

To Ainariel-Helyanwe: You'll find out. . .now.

To all my reviewers: I tried to update soon! I hope this chapter is alright. I'm reeeeally nervous about how it will be recieved. . .

Now, I'm going out on a limb here. . . This chapter is supposed to be NC-17, but fanfiction.net does not allow that anymore, nor does everyone want to read that sort of thing. If you want to read the NC-17 version, go here: h t t p : / / w w w . g e o c i t i e s . c o m / o k i b i n a n a s h i / L o s t S e a 1 3 a . h t m l (without the spaces). I am warning you now, there is rape. But if that isn't your cup of tea, that's fine too. However, some important things become known, and I've tried to show these as best as I can through an chapter:

~~~~~~~

When Jack awoke, he found himself bound hand and foot to a chair. He shook his head slightly, then glanced around the room he was now in. Directly across from him lay Epsilon. She was bound as well, but was lay instead upon a bed. The captain was entranced for a moment by the girl's beauty. Had she always looked that amazing? But then Jack noticed the slight tremors coursing through her and cursed softly. What the hell was going on?

At that moment, two men entered. Or perhaps one man entered twice. They were exactly the same. Both possessed long brown hair tied up at the backs of their necks, and both looked at the pirate captain with a harsh black stare. One moved then to Epsilon and ran his fingers across her trembling stomach. Jack had a very, very bad feeling about what was to occur.

Who are ye? What-

Mercenaries, of a sort, one of the twins said, smirking. Here to do as we're told. Though I didn't know it would be so. . .pleasurable.

Jack growled. He wanted those hands off Epsilon's body. Now. . .

. . .And Jack wished with all his heart that she had remained unconscious, for he now understood exactly what was set to transpire. His eyes widened and he struggled against the ropes, thus encouraging the second twin to draw near.

She is lovely, isn't she? spoke the first, fingers trailing across Epsilon's hip.

What do you want with her?! Jack shouted, stilling as a blade from the second twin pressed against his neck.

It's not as much about her as it is about you, Captain Sparrow. What better revenge than to ruin that which you hold most dear?

Jack paused a moment. Revenge for what?

The first twin chuckled, drawing a small whimper from Epsilon. As we said before, Sparrow, we are only mercenaries. We are paid to exact revenge. Here's your only clue: Don't toy with fair maidens' hearts. And then he kissed her.

Jack exploded in rage. Epsilon was his! In his anger Jack did not question his thoughts. He fought harder against the restraints, but they held fast, and the twin behind him held the chair.

For her part, Epsilon would not be taken willingly. She bit hard on the first twin's invading tongue and thrashed wildly even in the grip of the rope. Jack hoped that her strength would be enough to break free, but then the fire died. . .

. . .The girl turned her head to see Jack, and the pirate saw in her eyes only emptiness. And he knew then that the nightmare was real. It had happened before and was happening again.

As for Epsilon, she retreated back into the quiet dark of her mind. She could not bear to look at Jack and most certainly couldn't watch the man above her, and so she did as she had done before.

Jack saw her muscles loosen and her eyes glaze. He would not lose her to this! Sil! Don't leave me. . .

. . .Jack growled, thinking of how he would kill these two monsters. They would die before dawn. He would rip them open as they had ripped his Epsilon. Skewer them. Tear and shred and-

. . .and then the pirate was knocked unconscious once again by the twin behind him.

~~~~~~~

Yes, he is unconscious. Again. But I had to find some way to end it, and this really was the most convenient. Hopefully I can get started on the next chapter soon so that everyone who didn't read the NC-17 chappie can have a little more of a chappie to read. ^_^ My life's going to get pretty crazy in just a few days, but I'll try to keep my posts as regular as possible. And I won't completely stop writing. ^_~ Please review! Please?

Jack: Please review, please review. . .

Taimat: Are you mocking me?

Jack: Not at all, luv. *smirk*

Taimat: Quit, you. I spent a long time writing this thing, and I think I deserve some appreciation here. . .

Jack: What about my appreciation? I'm the muse!

Taimat: Course you are. So get working on that next chapter.

Jack: Fine, fine. . . 0.0 Wait. . .what just happened here?
