I could hear the rain that had started to fall outside. I burned all over, the cuts were deep and were still bleeding. I only had a few hours before he would be back. I was scared, and alone. Why hadn't Jack come for me yet. I thought he loved me. I lay there in silence for some while just praying that he would come before Marlow or Jackson came back.

Jack ran through the lower levels of the ship praying that Jasmine was alright and that Marlow hadn't gotten to her yet. He ran into the cargo hold and stopped, looking around. Where was it? Where was the table? He walked straight in to the Cargo hold and stopped to listen for anything. Then he heard it, Marlow's grunting and the sound of a whip hitting flesh. Jack winced at the thought of what Marlow was doing. Marlow then said something and walked out. Jack had tears in his eyes. /How could I fail her like this. I promised her nothing would happen to her.\ He stood and walked toward the table I was laying on.

"Jack!" I screamed with tears in my eyes. I didn't care, I let them fall. He took out his knife and I looked away. He cut me loose and held me close to him.

"Aye, It be me luv." I pulled away from him and he looked hurt. He took off his long over coat and put it over my body and carried me back up on deck. He had seen Marlow on deck and put me down and told Gibbs to take me back into the Cabin. I looked Jack in the eyes.

"No Jack please, don leave me alone with any man. Please Jack." I begged openly. Jack tried to kiss me but I pulled away. I couldn't do that to him. I'm so dirty, I wont let him touch me now. I let someone violate me, he doesn't deserve me. Anamaria had come over to see if I was okay, she got her answer when she saw me pull away from Jack.

"Jack I'll 'ake 'er. " She took my arm and took me inside the Cabin. Gibbs bandaged my cuts. He was entirely serious the whole time.

Jack took a step toward Marlow. The crew stopped Marlow from running from Jack. They had never seen their Captain this pissed off before. Seeing the Captain look at Marlow the way he did struck fear into the eyes of the rest of the crew.

"Ye 'ad ta defy me didn't ye." Marlow put on an evil grin and the rest of the crew backed up another step. Jack had put many a men in their place, but he was truly scared of Marlow. He prayed to god that the bigger man wouldn't see it in his eyes.

"Of 'ourse Cap'n. Some one 'as to." Jack looked at a crew member and told them to retrieve the black box from in his quarters. Only a few moments later the Crewmember returned placing the box at Jack's feet.

"Tie 'im to 'he main mast." He nodded at Marlow who now had fear in his eyes. Four crewmembers jumped on Marlow, dragging him the whole way to the main mast. Once Marlow was in place against the mast pole. Jack dug around in the box and pulled out a knife. Jack looked him in the eye and Marlow cringed under the HATE filled stare of his Captain. He turned to another crewman.

"Go 'nd get Jasmine. I want 'er out 'ere fer a minute." Before the man ran to get me Jack added. "If ye lay one 'and on 'er. I swear ye'll be 'ight 'here with 'im." He nodded toward were Marlow now stood.

I walked slowly behind the man Jack had sent for me. I could see that they had someone tied to the main mast and the whole crew was crowding around to watch. The man ahead of me slowed his pace and moved the people in front of me. We got through the crowd and I saw Jack standing in front of Marlow, who was tied to the mast. He held out his arm, motioning for me to go to him. So I did and let him take me in close to him.

"'pologize ta 'er NOW!" He shouted obviously pissed. I cringed away from him when he raised his voice and he stroked my arm reassuringly. Marlow got a cocky look on his face and then licked his lips.

"I would Cap'n but, if I did that'd be a lie." He smiled even wider. "No 'onder ye be keepin' 'er 'he be a good little fuck." Jack was fuming he looked at me and didn't even have to say anything I was hurting. How could he. I ran back to the Cabin locking the door behind me. My back and chest was on fire. I was so hungry and thirsty. I wouldn't go back out there. That's all I am to him. I'm just another whore he picked up. I let tears flow down my face freely. I walked to the bed and laid on Jack's side of the bed. It smelt of him, it smelt so good.

Jack turned furious by now. He picked up his knife and walked over to Marlow. Placing the knife on his jugular vain and tracing it downward.

"I 'ould kill ye. 'fter what ye did ta 'er. Ye done deserve ta live." Marlow pressed the blade into the his neck.

"Go ahead Cap'n. Be my guest." Jack took the knife away from Marlow's throat. Marlow smiled defiantly.

"No, ye'd like it to much. What I'm gonna do is much more... how do I say...painful." Just to make his point Jack put the tip of his knife on Marlow's dick. Marlow's deep inhale of breathe made the rest of the crew laugh. Marlow went to beg but was then gagged.

"Isn't this how ye took 'er?" He questioned. Marlow hung his head, and readied himself for the pain to come.
