hurt. However there is a purpose of her getting hurt...its not just one of
those random things as you will find out in this chappie! Hope you guys

think!)
Disclaimer: Nope I don't own POTC...I only own my dear little Annie who isn't very well at the moment!!
On with the story!
::::::::::::::::::::;
Chapter nine: Fever.
I don't know how long I lay in the darkness. I was unaware of what was happening around me and it seemed as though time and matter no longer existed. Strange colours and mists whirled in the darkness ahead of me and I found myself running through the blackness chasing the colours.
The further I ran the further away they went. Where was I?
I felt nothing, not the mist on my face nor the heat or cold. My head felt swimming and I couldn't concentrate.
I saw a face in front of me. A face I recognised. It was my mother. Was I dead?
come to me she whispered, come and join me
There was a large black building in front of me but my limbs felt heavy. I couldn't run away from it. It was dragging me closer and closer and no matter how much I tried I could not stop growing closer to it.
I saw faces, the building had gone, scared faces. They were crying. Will and Elizabeth were holding onto each other and their little girl was hidden within them.
The building was in front of me again. I was closer and I could just make out a figure standing by a window.
"Any change Cap'n?" came a familiar voice closeby.
"No, no not yet" came the whisper of another.
They sounded desperate but I could only just hear them. My hearing was blocked with the sound of sudden wind and lightning of a terrible storm.
"She's got a terrible fever, you must have some rest...Jack?"
He didn't answer. The voices were getting clearer but I had no idea where they were and who they were talking about. Or who they were.
I was back at the building being pulled up the path. I kept seeing flashes behind me where the voices were coming from but I couldn't concentrate.
"Come on Annie...please wake up. Your going to get through this, I promise"
The man sounded as though close to tears. I wanted to help him, whoever he was but the building was in sight again.
I was so close, the door was right in front of me. If I just held out a hand I could go through and find out why I was here. But something held me back. The voice of this man, he wanted me to wake up. Why would he want me to wake up?
Was I asleep?
The building disappeared and I was back with the swirling mists. The colours were spinning and I was feeling sick. Feeling...I could feel again! Someone was holding my hand, but who? I looked down at my hand to find nothing in it. Then there was the voice again.
"Please, come on luv. It's an order ok? Wake up!"
There was a face through the mist. Dark chocolate brown eyes, a red bandanna, braids sewn into dreadlocks.
The mist was lightening and a room swirled into view accompanied by a sharp pain in my chest and a thumping head.
The man caught my eye and realised I was awake. It was as though a fire had erupted in his eyes for a look of such glee came over his face.
"Annie! Annie your awake!" he smiled and I saw what looked like a tear form in his eye.
I frowned at him. Who was Annie? And more to the point who was he? And where was I? Questions flooded my mind and caused my already painful head to erupt with a fresh wave of pain.
I shut my eyes tightly and wished it all away. My head was foggy and I couldn't remember who I was. Fear gripped me...who was I?
The man, who was stroking my hair, also had a fearful look in his eyes and he yelled over his shoulder for a man called Ed.
He ran through the door and I saw a fleet of faces peering through the door anxiously. I was in a panic now and tried to move although it caused my body to erupt in agony.
"How long has she been awake Jack?" he said to the other man.
"A few minutes...she...she doesn't seem to know who she is...or who I am..." he trailed off.
"Sorry Captain but you'll have to leave"
"Leave?! No, I'm Captain Jack Sparrow and this is my cabin savvy?" he sounded lost and confused just as I was.
"It would be better if you did Cap'n" he said in a soothing voice, "She'll be safe with me, I swear."
The man reluctantly turned to leave but just before he left he turned to me and whispered,
"Don't worry luv, Ed'll take care of yea"
'Ed' turned to me and lay a hand on my forehead. I was sweating all over but I was afraid of this man. Who was he? And who was I? I began to panic again.
"It's ok. Your name is Annie. Do you remember?" the man said in a soothing voice.
I began to shake my head but had to stop because my neck felt too stiff.
"Well Annie my name...my name is Ed" his voice had begun to break up but he coughed and tried to talk in a would-be-cool voice. "We're good friends and you came to save me in a battle," I noticed a large bandage wrapped around his middle, "You...you got shot. That was a few weeks ago. Jack hasn't left your side. You have a fever and it would seem that you have lost your memory. But only temporarily you sleep it off there's a good lass." He trailed off as his voice was breaking up again.
I lay there trying to make sense of what he had just told me. A battle? Shot? It made my head want to explode.
"Here drink this" the man helped pour some liquid down my throat and being as I did not want to upset the man anymore I drank it. "It will help you to sleep."
The liquid ran down my neck and soaked the pillow I was laying on but as soon as I had drank a few mouthfuls he picked up his stuff and left the room.
I lay and listened to the voices outside.
"Well? How is she?"
"She...she's not good cap'n. The fever rested on her head and she has lost all memory of who she is and where she is"
"But she'll get it back right? She'll survive?"
There was a pause,
"It doesn't look good cap'n. I wouldn't rely on either"
After that I dozed into an uneasy sleep.
Hours later I awoke to find the Captain slumped into a sleep of his own on the bed. Half his body was sat in the chair, which had been pulled up, and the other was lay on the bed cloths next to me. He was holding my hand.
I stared at the ceiling and tried to remember who I was. My head was less hazy now and I had time to think. Slowly things began to come back to me. My name, where I was, pirates. Everything slowly filtered into my mind and there was a great weight taken off my shoulders. I twitched my hand slightly which woke the sleeping man.
He stared up at me and the fire I had seen in his eyes sparked again but then it dimmed when the realisation that I had no idea who I was was remembered.
Instead he took hold of my hand and smiled at me in hopes I would remember. But I had already remembered. I swallowed hard and whispered a single word,
"Jack?"
