Lila's POV
"Captain Jack Sparrow?" She whispered astonished.
"That be righ' luv. One of me clients has a little score to settle with him…wants him dead. Shouldn't be too hard for ye."
What Billy didn't know was she was his wife. Jack had wanted to keep their marriage a secret, so none of his enemies found out and used it against him. Only to the crew and Jack was she known has Lila Sparrow, to the rest of the world she was Lila Seabourne, a pirate to be reckoned with, from the Spanish main.
"What if I not be taking this job?"
"Then, I shall have to kill ye and Sparrow savvy?"
"Aye, sir, I shall kill Jack Sparrow."
"Here are ye 500 shillings. Ye have three days, before I send me own ship after ye."
"Aye sir." She said, gulping, taking the sack of silver coins.
Jack's POV
"Did ye say ye wanted me to kill Lila Seabourne…she ain't no pirate."
"Aye mate she is. Ye haven't heard the tales?" Duke asked.
"No I haven't."
"Well…"
Lila stood on her ship, the Dutchess, heading straight towards a Naval fleet. He crew stood anxiously, awaiting orders. Finally one spoke,
"Captain what are we to do…we can't out sail them."
"Then we fight." She said, and the crew remained where they were. "Get a move on you scallywags, before I make each and every one of ye walk the plank. Load the cannons, and get ready for battle."
The crew began shuffling around the ship, and Lila stood watching the fleet came steadily closer. Finally when the were in range she shouted,
"Fire!" And the cannon balls flew.
For hours the Dutchess fought against the Naval fleet until only one ship was left. The Dauntless. With a final blow she sunk to Davy Jones locker, and the Dutchess sailed on.
A few months later the Dutchess was caught in a storm right outside Tortuga, and everybody drowned. Even Lila, but that's what is weird about this tale. Three days later she appeared at the docks, soaking wet, and out of breath, claiming she swam all the way from the wreck in that storm…
"…And that was the day people say she struck a deal with Davy Jones himself, others say she was lucky. But I dunno Captain, all I can say is she one lass to reckon with."
Jack stared at Duke in shock. His own wife, and famous pirate, captain of the Dutchess. Finally he regained his composure, and said,
"Well then why ye need to be having her killed?"
"Because the Dutchess was my ship, she was me first mate, and led the crew to mutiny. Much like ye own story Captain."
"Aye it is, but can't ye just strike up an accord with the bonny lass? Have her marooned…lock her in the brig…"
"No Jack. Now here is our accord. Either ye kill her, or I send me men out to kill ye, understood?"
"Aye, mate. We have an accord." Jack said extending his hand, to shake Dukes. "Might I be going then?"
"Aye, but remember Jack ye only three days to be killin' her."
Jack nodded and left the bar. He walked back to the Pearl, and saw Lila standing there. When she greeted him on the ship, he glared at her and pushed past her. She grabbed him by the shoulder and said,
"Whats the matter with ye?"
"Nothing, bloody seadogs got on me nerves in the bar, that's all. I'll be down in me cabin if ye be needin' me." Jack said, before walking down to his cabin, and locking the door.
Lila's POV
Something was wrong with Jack, he never talked to her that way. She sighed, as a few tears ran down her face. The man she loved was mad at her for some unknown reason, and she had to kill him. Right now she needed Ana Marie and some rum…lots and lots of rum.
