Concerning Isla de Muerta and Tortuga
"We be nearing the Isle, Captain" Anamaria said, not leveling her brown eyes with Jack's.
"Aye" Jack stated. "I'll be out to man the wheel. Inform the crew to drop the anchor."
"Aye, aye, Captain."
"Anamaria," Jack exclaimed, grabbing Anamaria's arm. "Please reconsider your wanting to go back to Tortuga."
"Aye. But why?"
"'Cause your ruddy ole Captain would be missing ye if you left" Jack said, a bit embarrassed. His cheeks turned a slight shade of pink. Anamaria noticed this.
"Jack, let me tell you something. You just want me on board the Pearl for a site. You don't like me, nor do you care for me. You just love women." This comment left Jack completely speechless, so he stood, waving his arms in a thinking mode, trying to find something in that brain of his that was better than Anamaria's comment. "You, my luv, are just jealous you don't have the Pearl to your onesies. Savvy? Tell the crew to drop anchor before we PASS Isla de Muerta."
"Aye, sir. But I'm not jealous" she stated plainly as she walked out of the cabin.
"Aye, me! Women these days. Can't leave men to their onesies." And with that, he walked out of his cabin to the wheel of the Black Pearl.

"Captain Jack, why we be here? This is where cursed pirates be" the crew exclaimed.
"Gentlemen, m'lady, we be here 'cause we are going ta see the riches we can each have. So much gold, it could last each of us many lifetimes. Many a wonderful thing has happened inside these here caves, some bad things too. You remember my friends Will and Elizabeth? Wait, sure you do, we just left them. Anyways, they found their love for each other in these here caves. Let's go in and see what happens. In the boats."
"No, Captain. You ain't getting me in there. I 'member you telling me Barbossa was killed there - by you! The place is cursed, Jack-" Gibbs was cut off.
"Captain, it's Captain Jack!"
"Captain, the place is cursed! We don't be going there" he finished.
"I'll go by my onesies then. You be missing bunches of gold though." He shrugged.
"Aye, Captain, I'll go with ye." Anamaria stepped out from the group of pirates aboard the Black Pearl. Jack stood in awe, wondering why Anamaria would go with him after all the trouble they had gone through.
"We don't go unless all of ye scabrous dogs go along. If I leave ya here, you could take the ship and we don't want that now do we?" He completely ignored the fact that Anamaria had already agreed to go into the caves with him. He would love to go in there with her, alone. But that couldn't happen because the crew could very well take over the ship, leaving them stranded on Isla de Muerta. "Just what I need. Another stranding on some godforsaken spit of land. I've done that twice now. No more" Jack thought. "Although, with Anamaria there, it wouldn't be too bad" his thought continued. Then, out loud he said, "You know what, I'm Captain here so you do what I say and I say we're going in those caves. To the boats!"
The crew mumbled about this to themselves, but followed orders. After all, they were to stick to the code.
Jack and Anamaria were in a boat together. Gibbs and three other pirates in another. In the last boat was Cotton (and his parrot) and three others. Two were left on the Pearl to guard, in the slight chance Commodore Norrington found them - highly unlikely, but probable.
Isla de Muerta, an eerie place in itself, on this night was even eerier. The fog was so thick, it was almost impossible to see in front of you - or see the person sitting in front of you in the boat. It was also getting dark, making it completely impossible to see. They rowed on anyway.
Anamaria held a light in the front of the boat while Jack rowed. There was no conversation between the two - they only listened to the subtle noise of the water hitting the rocks, gently.
After they got into the caves, out of the fog, they rowed down a river passage, deep into the rock. All of the crew members, besides Jack, watched the bottom as they rowed. There were gold pieces covering every spot visible on the rocks below the water.
Jack finally broke the silence, saying, "You're completely obsessed with treasure" gaining the reply of, "I am not obsessed with treasure" from every member of the crew. Jack continued, "I told that to Will when we came to save Elizabeth and he gave me the same reply. But I went on ter say, 'Not all treasure is silver and gold, mate' meaning his treasure wasn't in the form of gold or silver. His treasure was Elizabeth. I guess she still is his treasure, but on we row." The crew just rolled their eyes. But Anamaria understood what Jack meant and instead of her eyes rolling, they sparkled. Jack caught this sparkle.
After they beached the boats, they walked to the gathering room (where all of the treasure lay). Jack was leading, and he knew what was coming up, around that corner. He turned and kept walking, not thinking about Barbossa's dead body. As the crew went around the corner and saw Barbossa's body, they all gasped and froze. Jack turned to face the crew and said, "What? You're afraid of some dead body? I swear it won't move and just at you. No come on!" The crew obeyed.
Jack explained all of the treasure and how it would be separated among the crew. They agreed they wouldn't take it all now, although they wouldn't have been able to anyway. They each took what they thought they'd need from their designated piles. After this they took a short break, sleeping and eating. After all of this, they went back to the Pearl.

Back on board the Pearl, Jack called Anamaria into his cabin.
"Yes, Captain, uh, Jack?"
"I'd like ta know what you want ter do. Go back ter Tortuga or stay on board the Pearl?"
"Jack, as much as I'd like ta stay, I really want to go home to Tortuga. I can't be a pirate. I'm a lady. It doesn't work."
"Anamaria, I'd like it if you stayed. I.I think." he stopped.
"You think what, Jack?"
"Anamaria, I think I'm falling for you. It's like I'm in a dream and I can't wake-" *Slap* "What was that for?"
"To wake you up. I knew the only reason you wanted me on this stupid ship was to draw me in, into your gaze and then you'd force me to.to love you."
"Well, you accomplished waking me up, but I don't want you on this ship for my pleasure. I want you here because you're a good pirate" he said, satisfied. Then it dawned on him that Anamaria had basically said Jack was going to rape her, so he replied, "And no, I' don't want to force you to love me. I'm not tryin' ta either."
"It's all the same. I want to go back ter Tortuga."
"As you wish" Jack said, his face dropping, disappointed. Some inhuman power had made him fall for her, he had deep feelings for her and he knew who he needed to talk to. After he dropped Anamaria off in Tortuga, he would make his way to Port Royal and take a break from piracy.

Ah! Finally a long chapter! I'm so excited. Still, DARN HOMEWORK!!!!! Please read and review! I'll get un update up AS SOON AS I CAN. School really makes it hard to write these things.
Something funny I have to add: As I was writing the part about Barbossa's dead body, I was listening to my 'Pirates of the Caribbean' Soundtrack, and the music FROM THE MOVIE when Jack kills Barbossa was playing. It was really freaky! Haha. I really need to stop now.
Disclaimer: Unfortunately I don't own 'Pirates of the Caribbean.' I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY wish I did though! Then I wouldn't be writing this fan fiction stuff, I'd be writing movies! Yay! Okay. Please read and review.
