Zarya's POV
Remind me to kick our mate's ass after we break out of here! my dragon hissed in displeasure.
At the moment I was trapped in a wooden cage hanging over a cliff side. I guess the cannibals thought I was dangerous because I was the only one in my cage. Or Jack being the idiot but smart pirate he was suggested it.
Originally I stayed behind on the Pearl to keep an eye on it. Jack had told me if he and the crew didn't return in three days I would need to look for them. I ended up getting knocked out thanks to a drug via dart and was placed in this cage. Now I remembered the cages were made out of human bones.
I planned on shifting to my dragon form and that would make the cage break. However there were people watching me and I would wait for the opportune moment. For a half hour I eyed the guards and when they were making their switch did I make my move. My body became that of a dragon and the cage shattered. Spreading my massive wings I took flight and the bridge that was used to keep an eye on me got burned thanks to my dragon fire.
By now the drums stopped and Jack would be on the dinner menu. But my mate was smart I mean hello he was Captain Jack Sparrow!
I didn't encounter any of the natives when I landed on solid ground again. I shook my head before noticing another cage nearby.
"Zarya!" Gibbs shouted. "Help us!"
I hurried over to the cage and besides the other crew members was Will. Suddenly the whole damn tribe appeared and I quickly spread my wings and roared at them in a threatening manner. They immediately stopped and they were unsure what to do next. I then proceeded to open my mouth and the men got down low so I wouldn't accidentally bite any body parts off. Once the cage was in my mouth I spread my wings and took flight once more.
The men inside the cage protested but I ignored them. The weight of the cage in my mouth made me land not exactly where I wanted but it was close to the Pearl. After landing I broke the top half of the cage in half thanks to my fangs and the cage shattered. I made sure the remainder of the crew was freed before I took to my human form.
"Zarya we owe you one lass!" Gibbs exclaimed.
"Zarya"
I turned to Will and immediately hugged him. I had missed my best friend and it was good to see him again.
"It's good to see you Will" I told the blacksmith after we pulled apart. "We can catch up later but now we need to haul ass back to the Pearl, no doubt those natives won't be far behind"
"Aye" Gibbs agreed.
We then hauled ass back to the Pearl and my eyes widened at seeing Pintel and Ragetti. Jack the monkey was refusing to give Ragetti's eye back and Pintel had been barking at his friend but stopped when the rest of the crew began to board the Pearl. Gibbs took over with the orders.
"What about Jack?" Will demanded. "I won't leave without him!"
"OI!"
Will and I turned to see Jack running around the corner. Will smiled for a second before the natives came around the corner hot on Jack's tail.
"Time to go" Will squeaked.
"Damn straight" I agreed before hurriedly getting onto the Pearl and helped the others make it ready to set sail. However I did watch as Jack run for his life with the natives following. I grinned because this was a very funny part of the movie.
Serves him right my dragon said in amusement.
"OI!" Jack protested again and he finally entered the waves. He ran like hell to the Pearl just as it was sailing off of the beach. Jack climbed onto the ropes and I watched as he turned to the natives.
"Alas my children, this is the day you shall always remember as the day you almost"
A wave interrupted Jack and this made Will and I laugh out loud.
"Captain Jack Sparrow" my mate finished.
I waited until Jack was on board and once he finished giving commands did I approach him.
"Hello darling" Jack greeted.
My response was a slap across his face.
"Zarya love I don't think I needed that" Jack told me.
"Thanks to you playing chief I ended up being caged" I scolded placing my finger on his forehead. "Your lucky I'm able to shift forms"
"She also helped us" Will added. "And now I need your help Jack"
"With what?" Jack asked looking to Will. "Last I checked mate you won your bonnie lass"
"She's locked up" Will continued. "Bound for the noose since she helped you escape"
"F**k" I muttered.
"Language love" Jack said to me.
"Shut it pirate" I warned my other half. I then turned to Will. "How can we help Will?"
What are you doing love? Jack demanded through the mate bond.
Hey remember he and Elizabeth did save your life back in Port Royal, so just hear him out I answered.
Very well Jack agreed.
"I need the compass" Will replied.
I decided to stay out of the conversation that ensued between Will and Jack. I made my rounds before returning to the main cabin. I didn't smell so great so I decided to wash up. In the midst of washing the upper portion of my body did Jack finally enter the room. His eyes went wide when he saw I was doing. I was bare all the way to the waist. Jack hurriedly shut the doors so no one else saw me.
"Next time mate knock" I scolded my other half.
"Or use the mate bond" Jack joked before coming over to me.
I didn't mind being semi naked in front of Jack Sparrow since I have many times before.
"You got some bruises darling" Jack said. "On your back"
"Most likely from the cage" I suggested. "That thing was uncomfortable"
"Perhaps I should make you more comfortable eh?" Jack inquired and he placed his hands onto my bare shoulders. He then proceeded to plant kisses upon my mating mark. His lips then traveled down my right arm and I shivered.
"Enjoying this aren't we?" Jack teased.
"You know the answer pirate" I replied. Jack ended up washing my back since I couldn't reach it and when he suggested he stick around for the other half I slapped him. He gave me his signature smirk before giving me some privacy. I shook my head and resumed the task of bathing.
Zarya's signature outfit consists of a white poet shirt made into a tank top via her claws which is underneath a dark brown vest. Her bandana is dark blue and she wears it like Jack wears his. Her pants are black and she wears brown boots.
