Don't own nothin. Blah blah. Read and find out.

You have heard of me

The period after Captain Jack Sparrow went down with his ship was in the simplest terms, confusing. While He remembered lunging at the Kraken's sharp layers of teeth, he didn't recall actually feeling the monster chew him and his beloved pearl into tiny bits. At this point his eyes were closed, and to his knowledge, he hadn't opened them since. It was with this thought that Jack's senses began to return to him, the first was sound. He heard the whistle of the wind as it sped past his face, brushing his hair forward. Which brings us to the next sense to awaken, touch. Not only could he feel the wind, he could also feel he was standing, and standing on something hard. It was with this realization that he opened his eyes. The place wasn't much to look at from his perspective. It looked as if he had landed himself in a cave on the Isla de Muerta, or any other cavern he had ventured in. It was then that the wind rushed from behind him, trying to move him forward.

"Now, hold on there, you. I will move once I have my barrings." It was then that Jack reached for his trusted compass...that was no longer with him. "Bloody 'ell." The wind pushed him forward a step. "Fine, fine, as long as wherever you take me has plenty of rum." Jack walked forward, the wind moving with him. "You know you could tell me where we're going, I'm more of a leader then a follower, mate," he said to the wind, which of course said nothing back to him. "And what of my ship? She didn't go down with out causing that monster some trouble, did she?" It was then his sense of smell finally awoke, for Jack smelled something so familar, he nearly forgot himself. "Well, mate," he continued to the wind, "that was a welcome surprise." Jack stopped to take in the smell he was so fond of, and the wind did not rush him. Salty warmth filled Jack's nostrils as well as the sweet smell of adventure. It is hard to describe what adventure smells like, for this was something that Jack seemed to smell alone. When he finally let his breath go, the wind nudged him again. "Very well, mate. Lead on"

Jack came upon a great opening in the cave. Jack looked around as he continued to walk forward. Lanterns, hung from the walls, burning brightly. Behind there glow were cut outs in the rocks. At the back of this opening was a great door. A person would almost miss it if not for the lock that protruded from the right side. It was then that a man came up to Jack, though Jack had no time to realize it.

"Jack Sparrow?"

Jack sighed, " Captain...Captain Jack Sparrow," he said and turned to face the man.

"Of course, Captain. Forgot me self."

It was then that he realized that it was one of his own scabborous doggs from the pearl. The Kraken must have gotten him before he could get on the escape boat. The man was about to continue when a woman and another man came down from a cut out in the cave and down stone steps to meet Jack.

"Welcome, Captain Jack Sparrow," said the woman, her face relaxed, neither smiling nor frowning.

"Mi'lady," Sparrow grinned. This might not be so bad after all.

Her expression did not change as she continued. "This is Mr. Timothy Sickleford." She motioned to the man next to her while both Jack and his crewman snickered. She raised an eyebrow to both of them.

"Sourry, miss," said the crewman.

She turned to him and said, "Mr. James, I believe, I've taken care of you already, you should settle in."

"Yes, miss." And with that he walked up another weathered looking set of stone steps and into a cut out.

"Now, Captain Jack Sparrow, Mr. Timothy Sickleford will be showing you to your cabin and if you have any questions you may ask him. If he can not answer them you may then come to me if necessary."

"Then all I can hope Is that Mr. Sickleford here is a rather dumb blighter so that I may see you, Miss." Timothy frowned at this, while the woman face remained unchanged.

"I will be needing your effects, Captain Jack Sparrow."

This caused Jack to frown. "What?"

"And that Includes your hat," she said placing her hands in front of her, face up for him to place his effects there. Jack did nothing. "I can assure, they will not be tampered with, and when it is time for you to leave, you will get them back in the way they were given to me."

"E'scuse me, luv, but you might not realize who I am.."

She spoke rapidly,"You are Captain Jack Sparrow, of the Black Pearl, Mutinied againts by First Mate Barbossa and crew, marooned on a rumrunnners cache island, commendeered a ship of the fleet in Port Royal with the help a young man, after saving a young woman from drowning and almost being caught. Following this you recruited a crew in Tortuga to help you save your precious pearl, became marooned on the same island with the same young woman until the..."

"Ok," Jack finally said, "So you have heard of me." With that He reluctantly placed his effects, and his hat in her outstretched hands.

When he did, she smiled softly. "Again, Captain Jack Sparrow, Welcome, your stay will not be long." and with that she turned and went behind a boulder, and seemed to disappear.

"Where am I," he finally asked, more to himself then to Timothy Sickleford.

"You are at World's End," said the sailor of the King's Navy.

"Is there rum?"

"Plenty."
