----
Back at Port Royal, Mina's father were worried about his one and only daughter. He had hired Commodore Norrington to look after her.
"Please Commodore, find my daughter!" Lord Frederick Tyler said. Mr. Tyler were a middle age man, with a terrible temperament. If he wanted something and couldn't have it for some reason, he would get extremely mad and do anything to get it. Mr. Tyler aren't married anymore, his wife Alexandra, died when she gave birth to Mina.
"Yes, Lord Tyler. I will find her and bring her back safe to you. I give you my word." Commodore Norrington said, calmly.
"I heard two small children telling their friends about a pirate ship. A big ship, with black sails. It looked very frightening. Do you think that the pirate's could have taken my daughter?"
"I presume the pirate ship you're talking about, is the Black Pearl. With none other than Captain Jack Sparrow as captain of the ship."
"The Captain Jack Sparrow?"
"Yes. He has escaped the noose before, and stolen the royal navy's ship. But I assure you, that when I bring back your daughter, I will bring back that bad pirate aswell and make sure that he will get what he deserve."

Mina woke up in Jack's bed, with Jack's arms around her waist.
"We didn't…? No, we didn't." Mina thought. She didn't want to get up, she just wanted to stay in bed with Jack's arms around her, protective.
Mina looked at Jack's face.
"He sure is handsome…" she thought.
"Ye want te stare at me pretty face all mornin', luv? Well, that can be arranged." Jack said, sleepy, but seductive.
"No, that's not necessary. I want to ask you a question, Jack."
"Aye?"
"What will you do, when you get the ransom?"
"…."
"Will you let me go, or do you really love me?"
"Eh…I don't know, luv. Go back te sleep. Ye need it."
"Yes, Captain." Mina fell asleep after a while.
-
When she woke up two hours later, she woke up alone. Jack wasn't there. She quickly got dressed and went out to deck.
-
"Ana-Maria?" Jack called.
"Aye, Cap'n?"
"I need te talk te ye. Follow me." Jack said and went down to the brig, because he knew that that was one of the few places onboard, that people didn't go to so often.
"What is it, Cap'n?"
"Well, I need te talk te ye about Mina. She be turnin' me whole world upside down an' this morning she asked me if I be letting 'er go after I get t'ransom. Or if I love 'er."
"Do ye love 'er?" Ana-Maria tried not to show it, but she was happy for her captain. He might have found someone he can love for ever and not just for the moment.
"I don't know. Yesterday, when I 'stole' 'er from ye, we went down 'ere an' I were about te ravage 'er. But she told me she was a virgin an' I didn't want te push 'er te do somethin' she wasn't ready fer."
"Sounds te me, Cap'n…ye be in love."
"Oh God…"
"No, no, no! It's not a bad thing, ye know. It's cute." Ana-Maria giggled.
"Cute? CUTE? I be a pirate, Ana. Not some cute, cuddly doll ye can hug an' play with. Can't ye talk te 'er, find out how she feels about me?"
"Sure, Cap'n."
-
"Could I ask ye somethin', Mina?" Ana-Maria asked.
"Aye." Mina were in a happy mood, because of the nice thing Jack did yesterday. He didn't push her to do something she wasn't ready for.
"Do ye love Jack?"
"Do you have to ask, Ana? I love him with all my heart. I never thought I would love a pirate." Mina told Ana-Maria about her nightmares.
"Ye know, Jack loves ye too. He don't want te admit it, but I an' Gibbs can see it. He'd do anything fer ye, Mina." Ana-Maria smiled friendly.
-
When Mina and Ana-Maria had talked, Mina decided to go to the railing and look at the water.
"He loves me….he's not like the other men back in Port Royal, who only want to be with me because of my looks and my money. A pirate loves me…." She thought.
"Hi poppet. What be a lovely lass like ye doin' 'ere? All by yerself?" A dark, male voice said. Mina turned around and saw Rosco standing there.
"Well hello to you too, Rosco. I'm looking at the water, now if you excuse me, I need to be going." Mina walked away from Rosco, but he grabbed her arms. "Let me go, Rosco, or I'll call for help."
"Jack isn't 'ere, he's inside t'brig. Ye want te 'ave some fun?" Rosco grinned awful.
"No, let me go!"
"Well, since Jack hasn't done anythin' te ye, yet, I can 'warm' ye up for 'im. What do ye think about that?" Mina spat him in the face and tried to break free from his tight grip, but it was useless.
"Com'on, Mina darlin'. Let's go te a private place, aye?" Rosco dragged her with him, with his hand over her mouth so that nobody would hear her scream.
He took her to a small room, where they kept the cannons. He pushed her against the wall and started touching her everywhere.
"No…please…." Mina cried out.
"Jack can't hear ye now." He tried to kiss her on her lips, but she bit him in the lip. "Ye bloody whore!" He screamed and slapped her face, so hard, that she fell to the floor.
-
Luckily, Ana-Maria had seen Rosco dragging Mina with him, so she hurried to tell Jack.
Jack became furious and looked all over the whole ship for them. When he finally found them, he saw Rosco ripping her beautiful dress, that Jack had given her.
"Let 'er go, ye filthy dog!" Jack yelled.
"Ne'er. I want te 'ave fun too. Ye can't keep 'er all to yerself."
"Aye, that I can. An' if ye don't step away from 'er, I will shoot ye between yer eyes an' throw ye into Davy Jones' locker." Jack took a step closer to Rosco and pulled out his pistol and pointed it at Rosco.
Rosco had a pistol hidden in his boots. He pulled it out quickly and shot Jack in the stomach. Jack fell to the floor. Ana-Maria, who had been standing behind Jack, quickly took his pistol and shoot Rosco in both legs.
"Gibbs! Take two men an' come down 'ere. Lock Rosco up in t'brig. Now!" She shouted.
Mina got up and ran over to Jack. She sat down on the floor and laid his head in her lap, gently stroking his hair.
"Please, Jack…don't die…" she cried. "I love you…."
Ana-Maria took of her hat and put it on her chest, bowing down her head. Gibbs came down to the room and saw Jack laying there.
"Don't be dead, Jack. Please, don't be dead…"
"Luv..?" Jack forced himself to say.
"Yes?" Mina smiled.
"I'm…not dead, luv…I'm Captain Jack Sparrow…savvy?" he grinned, not as much as he used to, but still enough to make Ana-Maria, Gibbs and Mina smile.
