REVIEW

"But we be going ter an island that is a bit of a boat ride ter Port Royal. I can go ask the captain if ye can come along. What be your name?"

"Caleb, sir." Said Cassandra with a light of hope growing in her. If she could just make it back to Port Royal then she would be able to try and forget about the Pearl and Jack.

A few moments later the man returned. "The captain wants ter know yer talents." Cassandra allowed herself a grin.

"Well sir I be good with ties and knots, with four older sisters I know a fair bit of sewing. With me dad wanten me ter be a learn' ma I know a might about medicine. And me ma' god rest 'er, taught me some reading and writing." The man shook his head, "Oh 'n I used ter be our cooks favorite kid so I be knowin' a fair amount of cook'n."

"Alright, alright." The man left again. This time he returned and another man came with him. The new arrival looked Cassandra up and down, "I don't think our captain wants any new hands on board."

"And you are?" Cassandra asked a little ruffled at the way she was being treated.

"I be just a lowly crew men."

"All right all right no need ter get so offensive." Said Cassandra. "Well like we say there ain't no room on this vessel for the likes of you."

They started up the gangplank Cassandra turned and started to walk away and Cassandra called over her shoulder, "It's there isn't any not ain't no. I would think a captain could speak better not that your pirate talk isn't effective."

Cassandra took two steps before the man yelled, "Wait!"

"Yes, captain?" Cassandra asked turning around.

"How did you know?"

"Well you don't carry yourself like a lowly see man, another lowly crew man wouldn't normally be at the ship he'd be out drinkin' or wouldn't be interested in me. Another ting is your pirate speech for lack of a better word stinks."

"Answer this question correctly and you may be let on."

"Alright."

"What drew such a smart and gentle soul to the harsh life of a pirate?"

"The freedom."

"Welcome aboard the Destroyer, Miss?"

"Mr." corrected Cassandra.

"I know two things that would disprove you." He said.

Cassandra blushed a little; "Oh." was all she managed.

A voice called from the ship, "Ready to make way captain!"

"Good I shall be with you in a few moments!"

"See you have a beautiful English accent." Cassandra said with a smile taking off her hat.

"Cass! Me little swan! There you be!" Cassandra turned to see Jack, a very drunk Jack. She cringed that he recognized her so easily.

He was stumbling along and seemed like he could pass out at any second. Cassandra turned back to the captain and he was frowning, "Do you know him?"

Cassandra took a deep sigh, "Sadly yes."

"Cass! Come on we'll be sail'n off in a few hours!" yelled Jack, "Are you coming?"

Cassandra chewed her bottom lip, "Miss we are leaving and would be glad of your company." Said the captain of the Destroyer.

"Cass come on!" yelled Jack staggering closer to Cassandra. Cassandra looked from Jack to the captain and back to Jack trying to think.

"Are you alright?"

"Yes I suppose but that hurt like hell though." Said Charles (captain of the Destroyer) holding a cloth to his nose.

"It should be alright just a bit of a nose bleed." Said Cassandra. She turned to Jack and slap a cold cloth to his forehead.

"Oww watch what you're doing I drank one to many pints last night."

"That lip may need stitches." Said Cassandra leaving the two men with Elizabeth.

"She's quiet annoyed with you, you know that don't you Jack?" "What did I do?"

"Well you tried to strut over but tripped many times. We got into a fistfight, and then you passed out. Cassandra yelled at me a lot for hitting you. Miss Turner sat next to you a moment later you sat up and threw up on her, and then you passed out. And here we are." Jack groaned.

"Well you are taking it better that Mr. Turner, if looks could kill you wouldn't be around mate." Said Charles. "Will knows?" asked Jack pitifully.

"Yes." Said Elizabeth.

"But he won't do anything you may add it to your thing to that Miss Turner for."

"What?"

"Oh asked Will how he got his black eye." Said Elizabeth. Jack gave her a questioning look.

"All I shall say is Cassandra was not too pleased with him." Said Elizabeth leaving Jack and Charles alone.

"As Mrs. Turner said it is not my place to tell you. If you want to know ask Miss Turner."

Cassandra walked past them to go to the kitchen, Charles walked up to her, "Miss Turner I apologize for any trouble or damage I caused last night." Said Charles kissing Cassandra's hand.

"It I all right I don't blame you." Cassandra said glaring at Jack.

"Well I am sorry never the less. Good day to you I must be off to my ship." Said Charles.

"Have a safe voyage sir." Cassandra said as he walked down the gangplank.

Cassandra walked away and Jack called, "Cass! Wait I'm sorry…" Cassandra turned to him and said "Mr. Sparrow for the remander of my time on this ship you shall address me as Miss Turner. And I shall be out of your way as soon as we come to a civilized port." with that Cassandra turned and left Jack alone with his thoughts.
