The Black Pearl sails into Port Royal to pick up a crew and visit old friends. Dissapointed people don't want to work on the Pearl Jack decided to get himself drunk and meets Lynn in a tavern. Lynn lost her eyesight in an accident when she was younger and doesn't want people to know. She does a very good job fooling Jack, who doesn't have a clue about her being blind. She saves Jack from the noose. Her one condition? To let her become a crewmember on the Black Pearl...

Chapter two: keeping up appearances

"All settled in luv?" Jack grinned as he looked down at his new crewmember laying on the bunk in the cabin she shared with Elizabeth. She smiled.

"Aye, it's a very nice cabin."

"It tends to get a little small...when Elizabeth is here." he said. "Sure you won't rather share a cabin with me?"

"I'm perfectly fine here, thank you captain." She smiled. To emphasis her point She folded her hands under her head.

"You can start yer work in the galley tommorrow." He said. She simply nodded. "The usual cook left last time we visited Tortuga. We'll be picking up some new crewmembers, so you'll have yer work cut out fer ye."

"I'll cope."

"I'm sure ye will luv." Jack said as he turned and left her cabin. Lynn smiled and closed her eyes, the rocking of the ship made her slowly drift asleep.

"You must be Lynn." Lynn slowly opened her eyes.

"And you Elizabeth." she smiled as she sat up in the bed.

"I guess Jack warned you about me?"

"Yes he did...Don't know if I believe him yet." Elizabeth chuckled.

"Good."

"He did tell me to keep my rum away from you...You wouldn't happen to know what he meant with that would you?"

"Bloody pirate! I saved his bloody arse by burning that rum." Lynn was surprised at the sudden outburst. Even more so when she heard the door slam. For a moment she felt disoriënted. She had no idea wether or not Elizabeth was still in the room until she heard her muttering. "ungratefull pirate"

"Rise." she smiled contend as she identefied the contend of another bag. She was thankfull nobody had walked in that morning to see how she was memorizing every single spot in the kitchen. While she worked in the tavern she had tought herself how to cook. She could tell most foods from it's shape and texture. And she had remembered how long something had to be on the fire before it was done. She just had to stay in her usual pattern and everything would be fine. After she had finished with diner the door opened.

"Something smells good in here." a deep voice said. Clearly a man. She didn't remember hearing the voice before. Lynn smiled in the direction of the voice.

"Thanks...it's allmost done." she heard his footsteps getting closer to her. When they stopped she felt his presence behind her. She shivered when she felt him wrap his arms around her abdomen. "Don't!" She said strongly as she tried to peel the arms of off her.

"Come one sweetheart...don't be like that. I just want to have a good time with you." She felt him press his lips against her neck and his arms moving up. He screamed when she planted her heel on his toes and an elbow between his ribs.

"I don't want this!" she said as she felt how he was advancing on her again. She sighed in releave as she found the doorknob, after the event had disoriënted her. She quickly pulled the door open and fled up the stairs and onto the deck. She thanked Jack for the tour of his ship as she felt the sun against her skin.

"Lynn? Is something wrong?" she recognized Elizabeth's voice. Trying to catch her breath she pointed in the direction she came from.

"One of the crew...tried to..." she didn't need to finish her sentence. Elizabeth knew exactly what had happened.

"Who was it? Can you discribe him?" she asked.

"No...he was standing behind me." not entirely a lie...just missing some details. Lynn was happy with the answer. She heard footsteps approaching.

"What's going on here?" Jack asked the two women.

"One of your crew was harassing Lynn!" Elizabeth spat. Jack turned his gaze to Lynn.

"Everything allright?" he asked her. Lynn nodded.

"I'm fine, I elbowed him in the ribs and stepped on his toe to get away. He's in worse shape then I am." she smiled as she heard a chuckle escape Jack's lips.

"Who did it?"

"I don't know...he was standing behind me." Jack frowned.

"Didn't you see him as he came in?" he asked.

"My back was turned." Lynn lied. Jack nodded...

"We'll have to keep an eye on me crew then. Don't want a rapist running about here." he said before returning to the wheel and calling Will and mr Gibbs over.

"Do you want me to help you in the kitchen?" Elizabeth offered. Lynn shook her head.

"Dinner should be done by now...but you can help me set the table."

The first meal was a great succes. Everybody seemed to enjoy Lynn's cooking. When they were all done Lynn cleaned up and did the dishes with help from Elizabeth. Lynn knew it must have been pretty late when she finally left the gally and was done for the day. She walked over to the side of the ship, feeling a cold breeze tug on her long brown hair.

"All done luv?" She smiled as she heard Jack behind her. She turned around and smiled.

"Yep...offcourse I did have a little help from Elizabeth." Jack nodded as he leaned against the railing of the ship.

"Beautifull isn't it?" He asked as he looked at the horizon. Lynn sighed.

"I guess so." she said. Immediately scolding herself. What kind of an answer was that. It was the ocean she was supposed to be seeing, the starsreflected on the water.

"I guess so?" Jack repeated her answer.

"I mean...it's very beautifull." Lynn quickly corrected herself. For a moment neither one of them spoke. Lynn decided to break the silence.

"Can I ask you something?" she asked. Jack turned to her and nodded.

"Sure"

"How do you know Will and Elizabeth? I mean...well they..."

"Long story..." Jack said before he started telling her all about his adventure with the couple. Of course he did add some things in his favor, but he did manage to make Lynn smile. When he finished he turned to her again.

"My turn to ask a question then?" he asked. Lynn chuckled.

"I didn't know we were playing that game."

"Who's playing games luv?" Jack grinned.

"Fine...ask you're question then."

"Why did ye spring me from jail?" Lynn smiled.

"I wanted to get away from Port Royal."

"So yer just using me then?" Jack said again leaning to the railing, a little closer to Lynn this time.

"Aye...why? Do you mind?"

"Nah." Jack grinned as he looked at the woman beside him. He wondered what she would look like without her hail pulled into a messy bun. Lynn felt his eyes on her and felt extremely uncomfortable.

"What?" she asked. "Why are you staring?"

"Nothing." Jack answered with a grinn, hoping it would make her even more curious. But instead of asking again Lynn turned and started to walk away.

"Where are ye going luv?" Jack asked confused. She turned and smiled at him.

"My cabin...it's late. Goodnight." she waved as she continued her way.
