Jack sat staring at Ana's un-moving body for a few seconds, what was happening not really clicking in his mind. Without him realizing it, his body seemed to go in to auto-move, knowing what to do without him really knowing what he was doing.

As soon as Jack's lips touched her's a jolt went throughout him, but once again because he was in a daze he didn't acknowledge it and carried on breathing air into her lungs.

For a reason not known to Jack himself, a tiny movement of Ana's hand against his arm managed to jolt him out of the daze he had seemed to be trapped in, and once again he seemed to know what he was doing.

"Come on Ana, I cant keep doing this for you." As if she had head him, a cough was heard coming from her and her breathing returned to it fast and raspy pace. As Jack sat back in his chair, letting out a heavy sigh, his thoughts once again resumed to why he cared so much. Anyone else, he would of counted no breathing as a sigh that they were dying, but this time he couldn't even bring himself to think that, that could be happening.

About 3 more days passed, with Ana going from high fevered state- to low- then back again! Jack had got the doctor to look after he after the 2nd time, she gave out and stopped breathing, because all though he wouldn't admit it, he really couldn't take it anymore. Although it wasn't only the doctor in there with her, he swapped occasionally with Curly, who seemed more then happy to sit with her and basically look after her.

"Captain." Jack looked up, he had been lost in his thoughts and hadn't noticed both the doctor and Curly leave his cabin, without much expression on.

"Aye." Jack prepared himself for what he thought was going to be bad news, although he was very relieved when it wasn't.

"Ana's awake now. You told us to tell you... well she's going to be ok now... or so he says." Curly turned and pointed to the doctor who just frowned at why he was being pointed at...

"Aye, Gibbs." Gibbs appeared next to his captain's side, as without even being told the command he took the wheel from him.

When Jack entered his cabin, what he saw surprised him. He had expected to see her still lying down, half asleep- half awake. What he found instead however was a more-frail looking girl, much like he had found in Tortuga, curled up in a ball, a distant look in her eyes, along with tears threatening to spill, slowly rocking herself backwards and forwards. Jack frowned; she didn't even seem to know he was there. Jack coughed slightly which made her head snap up.

"Oh it's... it's you..." Jack frowned.

"Aye, who else where you expecting?" Ana slightly shrugged as she continued rocking herself. This was making Jack a bit dizzy watching her so he gently put his hand on the top of her arm, as he did so she flinched, which made Jack take back his hand quite quickly. "What... what was going on in your head earlier?" a frown appeared on the now still Ana's forehead.

"When?"

"When you were in a fevered state the first... oh never mind you probably wouldn't even remember it anyway." Jack made his eyes look around the cabin, as if he was checking it out, and his body language spoke for him, showing he was uncomfortable but eager to find out what had been happening in her delusions.

"What was I doing?" Jack's eyes fell on Ana once again. She was still curled up in a ball.

"Lying very still for a few minuets, before it you were saying please don't or something like that, and after you kind of moved your hand up here." Jack demonstrated what he meant on himself.

"Oh."

"Oh?"

"Yeah, that would have been the first time he... he... well erm..." the tears were once again threatening to spill down Ana's cheeks, as she got into a muddle with her words.

"Who's he?" Jack asked, confused about whom she was talking about, because he still didn't know much about her, or the background, which he had saved her from.

"The last guy that 'owned' me. If I had stayed with the man that I had been with before I would have been fine, because he had his wife... and... and he didn't treat us like slaves, more like people and... when they moved he sold all of us again, he said he'd let us go to good homes and most did but..." Ana clasped her hand to her mouth, as though she had said too much, as her already red eyes became more red and swollen at the memory of being sold once more.

"But you were 'sold' to the guy that...?" Jack stopped because he wasn't really sure what he last 'owner' did to her.

"Captain sparrow what do you normally do with a women?" Jack's face stayed clear of emotion for a second while her words went through his mind, then his mouth turned into an 'O' shape as it dawned on him. "Only you have their consent." Ana's head suddenly snapped up and she looked him in the eye. "You do have their consent don't you?" Jack looked offended at her last comment.

"Of course I do. I'm not a rap-"Jack stopped half way through his sentence as he realized what Ana had meant by 'having their consent'. "You were..."

"Don't say it. Please don't say it." Jack held his hand up to show he wouldn't, but he had a lot of questions burning away in his head that he couldn't wait, to find the answers to.

"How many times?"

"Lost count." Jack closed his eyes. That was supposed to be one of the worst things that a women could go through... or so he had been told. More then once was bad enough, but so many times she'd lost count he found disgusting. Even pirates didn't do it that bad. Some did it admittedly, but never that much. "I only remember one or two. The others are just a blur of pain and horror."

"Why do you remember some of them?"

"Because of what came out of it." Jack's eyes met Ana's briefly and once again he cottoned on to what she meant.

"How many?"

"2. Twins." Jack nodded his head trying to process the information. As he was doing this something in Ana's head seemed to click and she jumped forward towards Jack, almost knocking him off the bed. (He'd sat down on it.) "You can't let him get me again. Promise me you wont let him gets me." The sudden change in the way Ana was acting surprised and confused Jack. Why would the man want her back if he sold her in the first place?

"Why would he want you back? He sold you!" Ana shook her head, the tears still there yet they seemed to have disappeared at the same time.

"He didn't. I sneaked onto the ship. He didn't know. As if he'd let me go! I was his plaything, or so he said. But I couldn't stay not after what he'd done to... please promise me that he wont get me again." The tears in her eyes once again made themselves apparent as they slid down both of her cheeks; she shook with fear of the thought of this man.

"I promise." She was shaking her head as if she didn't believe him, as if he was just saying it to get her to calm down, which in a way he was. But he still wouldn't let anything to do with this man, get to her again. He would keep his promise if he could. "Ana, its ok, he wont touch you again."

"Promise." Jack found it hard not to laugh at that statement, although he knew it would be totally inappropriate. It was like talking to a child, which in a way, at 17 years old, she still was.

"I promise." Jack paused. "What... what did he do." He stopped again, and then added. "Other then the obvious." Ana's eyes met Jack's once again; the tears in her eyes stopped flowing and in place of all the fear, and angst, anger took place.
