A Broken Rose

Chapter 4: Accompany this young lady to the brig

Jack Sparrow held the still smoking pistol in his hand as he surveyed the rest of the crew who either had on their faces, looks of pain from the loss of their fellow crew member or looks of anger towards the man who had killed him.

"Now, what might all the fuss be about?" he asked his tone lighter than before, for he had only stepped out his cabin for a moment to check on things when he seen the man with a raised weapon to one of his crew.

"Her." An anonymous crew member said, Jack faced the man who had been threatened and seen the young women sitting beside him eyes transfixed on the dead body, he looked to another man standing beside him and seen a small boy who looked to be unconscious.

"What's you name lass?" He questioned and as there were no other women in sight he knew she couldn't think he meant anyone else. Shaking her head slightly, taking her mind away from a distant memory she glanced at the man who had spoken to her. She guessed him to be the Captain, with the air of authority he had.

"Kathryn Miller." She lied smoothly not even blinking once; living with a man like George Norrington made it a necessity to tell lies for the truth could only lead to pain. The other crew members of the Golden Horizon kept their mouths closed as they knew this was not her real name, but realised telling the ruthless Captain the truth might not be so wise.

"And who might the boy be?" He asked weary of wither she was telling the truth but there seemed to be no proof of lies in her tone or her face which both remained emotionless.

"None of your concern." She told him a sudden fierceness coming into her voice as she looked up at the Captain.

"I beg to differ luv, seeing as this ship is at my mercy and I wish all my questions to be answered, just to avoid anymore bloodshed." He gave a pointed look towards the body at his feet, his threat still hanging in the air.

"He is my brother, I'm sure you need not know anymore." She replied angrily, as she glanced around behind her to look at her young brother who was still unconscious.

"A name would be nice." He told her his voice taking on the same dark tone he had used when he first spoke. She could tell his patience was wearing thin as was hers.

"James." She told him, which was in fact the truth, she told the truth only because if her brother was to wake and be asked his name, the Captain would not be happy with two conflicting answers to a simple question.

"Well that's all you had to say at the beginning now wasn't it luv." Jack smirked as he looked down at her, she was a pretty young thing. Wavy blonde hair, piercing blue green eyes, high cheek bones and full pink lips, not much of a tan and an accent to top it all off and a Scottish one at that. Allow it was slightly faded, he imagined she had moved from her child hood home a while ago.

Mackenzie ground her teeth silently the pirate captain severely getting on her nerves. When leaving England and her husband she had not thought of the dangers that may lurk in the beautiful oceans or the on stunning islands, pirate had been the last thing on her mind.

"Don't worry, luv. I'm sure we'll get along just fine." Jack said with a grin as he noticed the look she was giving him before he nodded to the man who had been carrying her before, she then found herself being lifted again and she immediately started struggling in the man's arms. She elbowed him in the face and kicked him in the knee at the same time making him drop her, she made to run to her brother but ran into the toned chest of Captain Sparrow. He grabbed her around the waist and kept a tight hold of her making it near impossible to struggle.

"Now, now, luv. That's no way to treat anyone." He tsked as he slung her over his shoulder and made his way, across the gangplank that had been laid down, to the Pearl.

She looked up from her position over the Captain's shoulder to see her brother being brought across as well, this sent a new bolt of rage through and she started kicking and shouting again.

"Why the hell do you need a young boy Sparrow! He's no use to you, leave him on the other ship, you bastard." Her kicks and screams did nothing but make him laugh, but one kick landed in his stomach and he threw her to the deck of the Pearl, his face like stone.

"This is my ship your now on, and I'm in charge. If I want the boy on this ship that's where he'll be, if I want to throw him over-board because you can't control your temper...that can be arranged too." He grinned, but there was no humour there only a cold look in his eyes that made her shiver. "Mr Gibbs, accompany this young lady and her brother to the brig." With a turn of his heel and the slam of his cabin door he was out of site.

She was pulled gently to her feet, by the man that had been on the other ship before. "Come now, miss, this way." He said taking her by the elbow and leading down a flight of stairs straight to the bottom. She seen a couple of cells and realised by the brig he meant jail cell, of course the captain from the other ship had given her a tour and shown her a place similar to this although the Golden Horizon's didn't smell as bad. She realised her foolishness at not remembering and putting up more of a struggle.

"Here you go, the Captain will be down soon." He said as he placed her in a small cell, she then noticed they had been followed down by another pirate and he was carrying James, he placed the young boy in the cell opposite hers and turned to her with a sneer, looking her up and down.

"Sure the Captain won't let us have a little fun?" He questioned to Gibbs who turned to him with an icy glare.

"No." He said angrily before pushing the other man towards the stairs.

Mackenzie looked around her new home with a sigh, when she left England spending time in Jack Sparrow's brig was not on her to-do-list.
