A/N: Wow! I didn't think I'd get this many reviews for my story but you all proved me wrong. You guys rock!
Purplelover: Alex is the I person referring to in the story. Sorry you were confused on that!
To the rest of you thanks for all the tips and reviews! On with chapter three!
Catching up:
Tortuga was a rather disgraceful town. Women and men alike were very disturbing. I wrinkled my nose in disgust to be back in this town. Jack laughed at my disgust,
"I'll tell ya mate. If every town in the world was like this one, no man would ever feel unwanted."
At that moment two women came up and smacked him across the face. I doubled over and started laughing at him.
"Well you seem unwanted." I cackled.
"Yeah well…" But he didn't finish his sentence.
We walked into a stable and I stared at a man sleeping on pigs.
"Right…" I muttered.
Jack tossed a bucket of water on the man.
"Curse ya for breathing you slack-jawed idiot!" The man cursed pulling out a gun.
I plugged my nose and turned away making a gagging sound. The smell was so vile, so putrid, that I wanted to throw up.
"Mother's love! Jack! You should know better than to wake a man when he's sleeping. It's bad luck."
"Ah fortunately I know how to counter it. The man who did the waking buy's the man who did the sleeping a drink while the man who did the sleeping listens to a proposition from the man who did the waking."
I turned for a minute trying to analyze what Jack had just said. The man seemed to get it just when I did. Jack helped him to his feet and Will and I threw buckets of water on him.
"Blast damn I'm already awake!"
"That was for the smell." Will said dropping the bucket.
The man shrugged. Jack led us to a bar and Will and I stood against a post.
"Keep a sharp eye." Jack whispered and retreated to a table.
Men were fighting over women and women were laughing and egging them on.
"If this is what the future is going to be like I'd rather die now." I groaned shoving a drunken man away from me.
Will laughed but immediately stopped when a woman started to hit on him. I laughed at him at least until a man tried to do the same to me. Later that night Jack and Will went back to the Interceptor. I went to climb aboard, then paused and walked right back into the town. I passed several blocks trying to find a spot where I could be alone. I found a dark alley about four blocks from the town. I crawled into the alley and sat down on a garbage bag and pulled the medallion out of my pocket. I stared at it, wondering, waiting for something. I clutched the medallion in my fist and began to sob. I know pirates don't cry but I couldn't help myself. I had my emotions bottled up for so long that I couldn't take it anymore. I pulled my legs up to my chest and wrapped my arms around them. I don't know how long I was in that alley. I believe it was about three hours. I saw a shadowed figure come to the edge of the alley. I had let out all the sadness and now I was ready to strike. To make my final plunge into Barbossa's heart. Jack walked into the alley and knelt down next to me.
"Planning on going to sleep anytime soon?" He said. His voice sounded a bit sympathetic or maybe that's just what I wanted to hear.
"Who needs sleep?"
He grabbed my arm and pulled me to my feet. We walked back to the Interceptor together. Once there I climbed below decks and sat down at the table. I stayed that way until dawn the next morning. The man named Gibbs came back with a crew of men (A/N: Yes I know Anna-Maria was in this story too but I left her out because it would ruin with the story.) Some were short and some where tall but they all looked like a bunch of misfits. But that was the crew. We sailed for a long time until night came and there was a terrible storm. Water overlapped the sides knocking me off my feet several times. Once I actually flew over the side of the ship but Will caught my arm and pulled me back up. Gibbs went up to try and reason with Jack but he kept on going.
"What's in your head that's put you in such a fine mood?" Gibbs yelled over the rain.
"We're catching up!" Jack replied with a grin.
About time…It's almost time…the voice echoed in my head.
