Chapter 8

When it was early in the morning Ana and Jack left early so that they could beat the crowd that they knew was going to be forming in less than a few hours. On the way out they left a goodbye note to Will, Elizabeth, Victoria, and Nathaniel and they also left them a little bag of gold coins for thanking them for letting them stay there.

At the docks, Ana and Jack found a rowboat that had been left tied to the end of the dock and got in starting to row out to a secluded area of Port Royale that they had agreed upon with the crew so that they wouldn't arouse suspicion.

Ana leaned back against the rowboat, "Port Royale is nice an' all, but it's not tha Pearl by a long shot."

Jack smirked at her, "Great minds think alike luv."

Ana rolled her eyes and smirked at him as well, "well I don't know about great minds."

Jack faked hurt, "oh so why do ya bother with me then luv if not for my mind?"

Ana got close to him, "cause ya have a great body tha I luv ta use ova an ova."

"So I'm basically like a whore ta ya?" Jack asked quirking an eyebrow.

"Ya tha's pretty much it."

Jack was about to say something when they saw the Pearl come into view.

A rope came down and they climbed up to face Gibbs and the rest of the crew.

"Well Cap'in I trust ya enjoyed ya stay?" Asked Gibbs.

"Aye we did." Replied Ana.

"He wuz talkin' ta me." Replied Jack.

Ana's eyes narrowed her eyes a bit and shut her mouth to keep from yelling any obsencities.

Gibbs sensing the tension starting to grow changed the subject, "so Cap'in where ta next?"

"Haiti." Relied Jack as he walked over to the steering wheel.

Ana noticed the frowns of Gibbs and the rest of the crew as she followed closely behind Gibbs suprised that he hadn't asked her to leave. Well actually he couldn't tell her where to go anyways she was first mate once again so she could be bossing him around.

"Uh..." Gibbs answered nervously as he approached, "an why would we be goin ta Haiti? The crew an' I were hopin' for somewhere a bit farther away from Port Royale wit tha promise of treasure perhaps Cap'in."

"Well we have ta go there for a certain meetin' I guess ya could say." Summarized Jack not really wanting to tell what happened.

"I didn' kno tha someone wuz expectin' us Cap'in."

"Neitha wuz I." Replied Jack absentmindly.

Gibbs frowned, "then why go there cap'in?"

Ana rolled her eyes in annoyance, "cause we have ta alrigh!"

Gibbs turned around in shock at the sound of Ana's voice.

He eyed her suspiciously for a bit before turning back around.

"So wha do I tell tha crew?"

Jack was silent for a few minutes in thought before he answered, "tell them we forgot ta pick up some supplies an rum an need ta make a quick stop by Haiti. Gibbs ya're always good at tellin' tha crew these kinda things." He said as he once again faced out in front of the wheel.

"Tha crew won't like this cap'in." Mummered Gibbs.

Ana caught Gibb's arm, "well they won't know bout it will they?" Threatened Ana as she stared into Gibb's brown eyes.

Gibbs held her gaze for a few minutes before pulling away shaking his head as he walked off.

"Ya're deadlier than any crewmate I've had luv." Stated Jack as Ana walked over to his side.

Ana turned towards him, "but I get me job done so well so ya can't complain." She replied with a smirk.

Jack smirked as well revealing some gold teeth, "tha's true, an I like tha ya're a deadly cause life would be so much more borin' if ya were all prim an' proper. No place for a lady like tha on me ship."

Ana frowned at him and put her hands on her hips, "an wha makes ya think I can't be a lady?" She demanded.

"Cause I've seen ya too much actin' like a man, an tha few rare moments tha I have seen ya in a dress or actin' nice it's actually very scary."

"So ya want me ta act like a harpy?"

"No," corrected Jack, "I want ya ta be who ya are."

Ana cocked an eyebrow in confusion, "I'm not followin ya."

Jack opened his mouth to say something but just replied "nevamind." and went back to steering.

Ana shook her head slightly and walked away mummering "men..."

Two days later "Land Ho!" sounded from the top of the crow's nest.

They sailed the ship near a delta where they dropped anchor and pulled out a rowboat that they usually kept in stock.

Ana, Jack, and Gibbs got in the rowboat and rowed up the delta.

Soon the delta grew smaller and became a river while the scenery had changed from open blue sky to wooded swamps, and soon the scenery once again changed to houses starting to sprout out from the wooded swamp as they paddled farther upstream. As they paddled by they saw some of the people come out on the porch to watch them. These people were the lowly masses that the british crown could hardly give a damn about what with their imperialistic plans for taking over the world and what not. Eyes full of sorrow and and a haunting depression which is usually in the eyes of the mistreated and abandoned students are watching them with a bit of curiousity as they watch them move upriver. At first they ignore Jack and Gibbs as normal traders who come up here to trade for some type of hollistic magic, but when their eyes landed upon Ana their faces completely changed to one of a worshipper.

Jack turned back around them and tapped Ana on her shoulder, "don' look now luv but look's like ya got some admirers of ya own."

Ana turned around and sure enough there was a small sea of followers the women's heads covered in bandannas and headwraps while the guys wore mostly white shirts and either tanned or darker pants but from the waist deep dark blue almost blackish waist water that they were standing in made it almost impossible to tell.

Ana opened her mouth in shock at the sight of all these people following them as they continued their journey upwards.

Before they knew it they were in front of Tia's house which stood before them as if it were an all powerful force.

Ana felt a wave of deja vu sweep over her sending a shiver down her spine.

Once they reached the ladder that led up to her house the little girl who had been in Ana's dream jumped down from the top ladder that sent her and Ana falling back against the boat in a hug.

" L'ami vous êtes revenu ! " Friend you came back! She exclaimed against Ana's neck.

Ana looked up and met Jack's and Gibb's curious glances but before she could say anything Tia appeared from her house/slack and looked at them with an expected appearance crossing over her face.

"I been expectin ya," she turned around waving after them, "come in we 'aven't got ta moment ta lose."
