A/N: I really don't have a comment so let's just get on with the story.
Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN PIRATES OK?
Jack sighed and then finally began to tell his tale.
"When I was young, I met your mother. I loved her, but she fell in love with your father. I was happy for them, truly I was, but when the marriage came that was about all I could take. I bought the Pearl and hired a crew. For years I worked on the Pearl until one day I decided to go visit your mother. I don't know why, but I felt I needed to."
He paused for a moment.
"Are you sure you want to hear this?" He asked.
I straightened up and nodded.
"Before I could even start to look for their house I was arrested. Your mum and dad found me in the jail and busted me out. They attempted to hide me inside their home, but the guards were searching every household for me. I needed to leave, but not before seeing you. You were on the floor playing with some blocks, stacking them up as high as they would go. I patted your head and you smiled at me, it was the sweetest thing I had ever seen."
Another pause, as if he was really reluctant to tell the next part of the story.
"I heard your parents yelling as the guards began breaking down the door. I headed for the window when suddenly shots rang out, and a silence followed. The guards were coming up the stairs so I gathered you in my arms and jumped out the window, racing for the rowboat to get back to the Pearl. I raised you there." Jack sighed again. "So now you know."
I was speechless, completely trapped in a sense of betrayl. The man who I had thought of as a father figure, turned out to be nothing more than a coward. He could have saved my parents lives, but instead he fled.
"You're a coward." I replied coldly, turning my back to him.
"Oh Jazzy, look I..."
"Don't talk to me! You could have spared my parents, but instead you fled like a bloody coward!" I screamed at him.
"Jazzy please,..." He begged. "You wanted to know! I didn't have to tell you!"
"I HATE YOU!"
Jack fell silent, and I could tell I had hurt him. A man who had raised a child for so long, and suddenly to have said child turn on him. Cannons were being fired and Jack pulled me down on the floor.
"STOP BLOWING HOLES IN MY SHIP!" He roared.
I stood up and pressed my head against the bars, only to find that the door had been opened, most likely from the cannons. I took that chance to get as far away from Jack as possible, which in retrospect was stupid because of all the swordplay and gunshots going around and me being blind.
But Jack was quick and a split second later he was on my right side saying;
"Give me your hand."
I turned and tucked my hands in across my chest, giving him the cold shoulder.
"I said give me your hand!" He ordered.
Suddenly he grabbed my arm and dragged me over to the edge of the ship. As I saw through his eyes, he made me grab the rope and we swung over to the Interceptor. As soon as I was on the ship I ran away from him, calling Will's name.
"Will! Willl!"
He was the key to everything that was going on, and if he was dead we would be having MAJOR problems.
"Jasmine? I'm down here!" He answered.
I stumbled across the floor until I found the entryway to the brig and grasped Will's finger's which were the only parts able to slip through the holes. I saw that he was trapped under layers of wood and the room was beginning to fill with the ocean water.
"I'll be right back."
I scurried across the floor until I grasped a sword. I went back to the entryway and slipped the sword in-between the cracks of the lid, attempting to unlatch it.
"Hurry up!" Will begged.
I managed to get the lid free and I grabbed both Will's arms and tried to get him out, but he was stuck. One of Barbossa's men grabbed me from behind and kicked the lid shut on Will.
"No, no, no!" I screamed, fighting at the man who was dragging me off the Interceptor and onto the Pearl. He dropped me off beside Jack, and then my vision went black again.
"If any of you so much as think the word 'parley' I'll have your guts for garters!" Pintel threatned.
A loud explosion indicated that the Interceptor had been blown to pieces and everyone and everything trapped inside it was now vaporizied.
"No..."
"You've got to stop it!" Elizabeth screamed.
"Welcome back miss. You took advantage of our hospitality last time, it holds fair now that you return the favor." Barbossa laughed.
Elizabeth screamed and the crew laughed.
"Barbossa!" Will challenged.
He was alive! Yes! A gun cocked and I can only assume it was being pointed at our crappy captain.
"She goes free!" He said.
"What's in your head boy?" Barbossa asked.
"She goes free." Will repeated, as if those were the only three words he knew how to say.
"You've only got one shot and we can't die." Barbossa informed him.
"Don't do anything stupid." Jack begged.
I took that opportunity to kick Jack in the leg, to show him what a hypocrite he was being.
"You can't I can." Will answered.
"Like that." Jack grunted, rubbing his sore leg.
"Who are you?" Barbossa asked.
Before Jack could sputter out some lame excuse, I intervened.
"cough cough William Turner cough."
"No one, he's no one. Just a distant cousin of my aunt's nephew twice removed. Lovely singing voice though, eunch." Jack lied, hoping Barbossa hadn't of heard me.
"My name is William Turner!" Will confirmed what I had said. "My father was Boostrap Bill Turner. His blood runs in my veins!"
"He's a spitting image of 'ol Bootstrap Bill, come back to haunt us." Ragetti stuttered.
"On my word do as I say, or I pull this trigger, and be lost to Davey Jones' Locker." Will ordered.
"Name your terms Mr. Turner." Barbossa sighed.
"Elizabeth goes free!" He immideitaly said.
"Yes we know that one, anything else?"
"And the crew, the crew are not to be harmed, and that includes Jasmine. I want her to go free too."
How sweet, he was thinking of me because I tried to save his life. I would pay him back later.
"I'm sorry but we need her." Barbossa said, putting one of his dirty hands upon my shoulder.
"Alright then." Will said, pulling back the trigger very slightly on the gun.
"Ok fine. Agreed." He grumbled.
But soon I realized we weren't going free. I heard Jack muttering something about the same island he was previously marooned on. That was fine with me, as long as I wasn't getting tortured again. We were to walk the plank and Elizabeth was set first. The crew jeered and laughed as Will yelled at the captain.
"Barbossa you lying bastard! You swore she would go free!"
"Don't dare impugn me honor boy. I agreed she'd go free but it was you who failed to specify when or where."
More laughter.
"Though it does seem a shame to lose something so fine don't it lads?"
"Aye."
"So I'll be having that dress back before you go."
I sighed at Barbossa disgusting ideas in his twisted mind.
"Goes with your black heart." Elizabeth sneered.
"Oh, its still warm."
Soon Elizabeth toppled off the plank and I was shoved onto it next.
"You'll never break the curse this way Barbossa." I snapped, trying not to lose my balance right away.
"Don't you see girl? I already have. You were already kneeling in front of the chest, so I have no use for you now. Off you go now Jazzy." Barbossa replied, bored.
"It's Jasmine you pig. Jasmine." I arched back and spit in his direction.
From the sound of his fury, I can tell I hit a bullseye. I mocked him one last time and then dove off the ship, like I did when I actually wanted to be near Captain Jack.
"Elizabeth? I can't see remember?" I called to her when I reached the surface.
"Just head forward." She answered from afar.
I did so and soon landed up on the beach shore.
"That's the second time I've had to watch that man sail away with my ship." Jack commented.
"Terrific, now stay the hell away from me." I snapped at him and stormed off down the beach.
"Jazzy wait!" He called again.
"It's Jasmine!" I shouted back.
A/N: Okay that's it for now. I'm gonna have a really busy week so I'll try to update soon ok? R&R PLEASE!
