The governor's daughter. She's bound to be trouble. She seems a lot better than Elizabeth though. She was a bit of a stick, but this girl, she's different. She's ready to take a chance, and what am I risking anyways? They've already got me down for piracy; why not add another count of kidnapping to my list of crimes? No. It's not kidnapping, she asked me to let her come with me. We had an agreement, and I am a man of my word. I might be a dishonest man, but I am still a man of my word. She could have fooled me though; I didn't know she had the keys. If I did, I would have turned on my charm, and freed myself. Something stopped me though. I don't know what it was. Once I saw those keys in her hand…why didn't you seduce her Sparrow? You know you could of. She's easy. Who was your competition? Norrington? You'd have won that contest easily. It seems like she would be easy. The governor's daughter. I can't get that thought out of my head. Why would she want anything to do with a pirate? There's got to be something more to this deal. Why would you care? If she wants you, let her take you. Is she really the governor's daughter? This seems too unreal. No. It's real enough. Take her with you for a few months, and then bring her back. If they think she was kidnapped, you might be able to cash in on her. Ah. There's always money in it. There's got to be a profit. I take her with me to The Black Pearl, my ship, the true meaning of freedom. When you're a pirate that's the only thing that matters: your ship. And mine, is beautiful. I take the wheel and steer us out of the harbor and into the ocean. She hasn't moved. She's been standing in the same spot since we left.

"I think there's a spare cabin that you can use." She's bound to be tired, and She looks a little relieved at the thought.

"Thank you." She stands at the bow of the Pearl, waiting, watching, for what I'm not sure.

"Why don't you come below? You don't want anyone to see you right?" I walk up behind her and put my arm around her shoulder. She immediately pulls away.

"I told you I would free you, but I didn't offer myself to you." She says, conceitedly.

"What?" I say slightly confused. Such a sudden change of heart.

"I know your reputation Mr. Sparrow, and you are not going to add me to your list of whores. I appreciate that you're taking me with you, but that is as far as our relationship goes." She's got a fire in her, and it's getting me a little angry, but I laugh it off. How does she know that? She just met me.

"Don't worry. With an attitude like that, you'd be lucky if anyone tried to sleep with you. And just for the record, I wasn't trying." I'm lying. I would love to have my way with her, that's just who I am. I can't help it. I'm Captain Jack Sparrow. She just stares at me. "I was just thinking that you might be tired and was wondering if you wanted me to show you to your cabin. I wasn't trying anything." She just stares at me. Her eyes looking deep into mine, as if she's searching my soul, trying to see if there's any truth to what I just said.

"I'm not entirely sure if I believe you."

"You were sure enough to ask a complete stranger, and a pirate no less, if you could accompany them." Her face softens a little because she knows I'm right.

"I'm tired." She sighs. "Would you just show me to a cabin?"

"Fine." I lead her below deck, to a cabin, across the hall from mine. I was thinking that I would take her to mine, but I want her to learn to trust me. "You can sleep here."

"Am I insured my privacy?"

"Yes. I won't use these, unless I absolutely see it fit to." I wave the keys in front of her face, much like she did to me a few hours ago. She tries to snatch them from me, but fails. "There are some clothes in the drawers, in case you don't want to sleep in that." I point to her dress, even though it's simple, it doesn't look like it would be very comfortable to sleep in.

"I'm fine, thank you." She sits down on the bed, and looks around.

"Anything else, your highness?" I say with a slight bow, the sarcasm heavy in my voice. She rolls her eyes. "I guess that's a no. Goodnight." I say as I leave the room.

There is definitely something different about her, and I'm not sure if like it. She's willing to trust me enough to free me from prison, but not enough to let me lead her to a cabin. Who would have known that the governor's daughter would be so difficult? If I had known about that, I would have had second thoughts about bringing her aboard. She's a puzzle, and I'm going to figure her out.
