Morning had come fast. Faster then expected. I had barely closed my eyes before they were opened again. I stifled a yawn and staggered out of bed. There was a lot of commotion coming from the next room; it was the sound of a little child crying. I combed my hair fast and peered into the next room.

"Oh Leanne, please, stand still." Elizabeth said, pulling her hand onto her lap.

"It hurts!" The little girl whimpered, struggling to pull her hand away. She slapped Elizabeth's hand and screamed. "Let go mommy!" I coughed. Elizabeth looked up.

"I'm sorry if we woke you…"

"Brittnni."

"Brittnni." She sighed exasperated and wiped her forehead. "She's quite the stubborn little girl. Leanne…please." I walked into the room and looked at the little girls hand.

"A splinter." I muttered. "Here, give me her hand." She put her hand in mine. Her hand was so tiny. I blew on the spot where the splinter was. "On the count of three, I'm going to pull it out." I smiled. "Would you like to help me count?" She nodded, her gorgeous brown eyes building up with tears. "One…"

"One." She said in a low voice, you could barely hear her.

"Two…" I continued.

"Two." I pulled it out and she looked at me, shocked. "You said we pull it out on fwee."

"Did it hurt?" I asked her, rubbing my hand over the red spot. She shook her head. She was such an adorable little girl. Her blonde hair fell down in ringlets to her mid back, she had these mesmerizing brown eyes that shimmered in the light, and she was as pale as a little china doll.

"Mommy, look!" She stuck her finger in Elizabeth's face and smiled, revealing a line of perfectly straight, white teeth. "There's a red spot. I'm going to show daddy it!" She sat up and ran out of the room, her long dress dragged on the floor.

"She'll be the death of me." Elizabeth laughed. "About the other night, I'm sorry I called you that."

"Think nothing of it. You didn't know." I said brushing out the wrinkles on my dress. I looked like an absolute mess compared to Elizabeth. She was wearing a gorgeous cream coloured dress that had a slight green imprint on it. Her hair was neat, not messy like mine and her make up was perfectly done. I had none on at the moment.

"It's just, knowing Jack…"

"He usually is surrounded by whores. Don't worry, I know the stories. You'd be surprised at what I know." I told her. She smiled and patted the bed beside her. I sat down and smiled back at her.

"It's been a long time since I could have a chat with another woman. Father never let me out of the house." She said. "He was very protective of me. Isn't you father?" I looked down at the floor.

"My father's dead." I told her. She closed her eyes and sighed.

"I'm sorry." She apologized immediately. "If have this little problem where I say things without thinking. Even if they're good or bad." I smiled, closing my eyes.

"He was killed actually." Her mouth opened. "All my mother told me is that, they were under the docks and she was knocked out by some pirate. She woke up the next morning, my father was gone and she was never to hear from him again."

"That's horrible." Elizabeth said after a moment of silence. "My mother died when I was little. She wasn't killed, well, not really." I opened my eyes and gave her a perplexed look. "My mother had leukemia." She sighed. "She died when I was six years old. My mother and I were very close, and my parents were very loving so it killed my father. Two years later, he couldn't stand living where we were." She looked at me. "Too many memories, so we moved to Port Royal. That's where I met Will." She rolled her eyes and sighed wearily. "And Jack."

"I take it you are not to fond of Jack?" We both shared a laugh.

"He has his moments. There are times where he can be an absolute git, and then there are the times where you can just fall in love with him." She giggled. "Those times are very rare though."

"I believe it." Elizabeth and I chatted for hours after that. She was a very interesting person. You wouldn't think she was, being the Governors daughter and all. I expected a snobbish little girl but she was a very mature fun woman. There was a knock on the door and Jack stuck his head in.

"Wha' tha hell are ye two doing?" He asked stepping into the room.

"Talking." Elizabeth stated. He snorted.

"And what on earth would ye two have in common?" He sat in between us. Elizabeth glared at him and I moved over so he wouldn't be on half of me.

"A lot of things…" Elizabeth blurted out. It wasn't entirely true but we had quite a few things in common.

"And those would be?" Jack smiled in satisfaction as Elizabeth's face dropped.

"The fact that we both think you are an annoying git." I smiled at him. He turned around, narrowing his eyes.

"She's right." Elizabeth smiled. "That's one of the main things dear." Jack got up, stormed out of the room and slammed the door shut. Elizabeth and I giggled. The door reopened and Jack stuck his head in.

"Ye can both sod off!" He slammed the door shut again, and we both burst into laughter.

Later that evening, as Elizabeth was putting Leanne to sleep, I went to find Jack and see if the git was still mad at me. I found him in the galley, his feet propped up on the table, a rum in his hand and his dipped over his eyes.

"What do ye want Brittnni?" He asked without looking up. With my mouth ajar, I walked over to him and pulled his hat up so I could see him. The candle was almost out and the glow radiated against his face. Some parts were darker then others.

"How did you know it was me?" I asked, taking a seat beside him. He grabbed his hat back from me, perched it on his head, and took a drink of his rum. I sighed. "You can be absolutely annoying at times." He choked on his rum.

"More insults!" He turned his chair away from me. I glared daggers at the back of his head.

"What is your problem? We were only joking!" He ignored my comment. "You said we should get to know each other and from the way you are acting, I want nothing to do with you!" I added angrily. I headed for the door.

"Luv, stop." Jack said calmly. Did I detect an apology coming on? I stopped but did not face him. "If it was a joke then I guess I can't be mad at ye forever eh?" I smiled, it was a start.

"You better not be." I turned around, and walked into the darkness. Finding a seat next to Jack, I sat down and grabbed the rum from him and began drinking.

"Thief." He muttered, waiting for his rum back. I handed him the bottle back, a quarter of the way finished. "Bloody hell. There was more then this then before."

"I work in a bar. I can't help it. I get thirsty quite often." I told him, leaning back against the chair. It felt so good to sit around and not do anything. The candle light flickered and dimmed down some more.

"Ah. Ye make a good point." He gulped some of the rum down. "When was tha last time ye were on a ship?" He added.

"I honestly don't remember. It's been so long." I told him, staring at the mouse in the corner of the room, searching for a piece of food. I flicked a piece of bread in its direction. It ran away, and then in the light from the window, it cautiously poked its head about, grabbed the bread and then ran into the darkness.

"Do ye remember anything about being on a ship?" He asked, seeming rather crestfallen. I snorted.

"Contrary to what you may think, I know how to do just about anything your sailors do on this ship. I was brought up by most of the sailors in this town." I looked down. "My mothers friends also helped." Jack looked up and the candle blew out. His golden tooth glistened like a star in the darkness surrounding us.

"What kind of things luv?" My cheeks grew red. I knew what he was getting it.

"You disgust me." I spat, trying to hide the smile creeping up. Thank God he couldn't see my face. Jack chuckled.

"I want ta show ye something." I looked at him, he stood up and tried to pull me up. I took his hand off my leg and grabbed his hand. "Sorry luv."

"Mhmm." I murmured in disbelief. "What do you want to show me?"

"Ye'll see." He smiled opening the galley door. I let go of his hand and walked on my own.

"I can see now." I said walking ahead of him so he couldn't see the red on my cheeks.

"Of course luv." Jack strode up and opened the doors and walked through them. They practically slammed in my face. I groaned. Men. I opened the doors and couldn't see Jack anywhere. "Would ye hurry yer arse up?" Jack shouted from the helm.

"Shut your mouth." I said under my breath. Slowly, I walked up the stairs and Jack smiled.

"Close yer eyes." I raised my eyebrow and he gave me a 'just do it' look, so I did it. He grabbed my hand and helped me onto some sort of platform.

"Are you making me walk the plank?" I shouted facing him with my eyes still closed.

"NO! Now, gimme yer hand and hold onto this and don't let go!" I grabbed onto a rope and Jack climbed right on top of me. "Now climb." I did as I was told, trying to think of where we were going. Jack was over top of me the whole time. We finally reached the top and he made me climb in, my eyes still closed. He scrambled in behind me and sighed happily. "Open them." I opened my eyes and screamed. I turned around and clung onto Jack for dear life.

"I am terrified of heights." I laughed at the look on his face. He smiled, and put his arms around me.

"Yer safe up here luv. Now look around." I looked around and my breath was gone for a moment. The waves that were beating upon the ship looks extraordinary from this height, they moon looked so close that you could practically reach out and grab it and everything was just so peaceful. Stars filled the night sky, lighting up the ship. To the left, there were a few shooting stars, which looked like fireflies scattering about. It was pure bliss up here. "I take it ye like it up here." I nodded, still lost for words.

"Why did you suddenly bring me up here though?" I asked, looking at him perplexed.

"I remember ye telling me that ye couldn't see tha sky from Tortuga tha well, and I think no one should have ta be without seeing the night sky this vividly." He smiled.

"You remember me saying that?" Jack nodded and I blushed becomingly. I put my hands on my cheeks and turned the other way, closing my eyes and letting the wind hit me.

"Come on luv." He said putting his hand on my shoulder. "We best be getting down now." I nodded, then my eyes widened.

"You mean we have to climb back down?" I asked terrified. Jack chuckled.

"Aye luv. We do." I groaned and climbed over the rail onto the rope ladder and slowly and cautiously made my way down to the deck.

I jumped on the deck and took massive amounts of air in. Jack sat on the floor laughing at me.

"Its….not….funny." I gasped. Halfway down I had slipped and would have fallen if Jack weren't above me. He had grabbed me and put my hands tightly on the rope. The rest of the way down, I had been hyperventilating.

"Yes…tis luv." Jack snorted standing up. I glared at him and he smirked. "Yer not tough luv, don't try and act like ye are." I gawked at him.

"You really know how to ruin a moment!" I shouted angrily.

"A moment?" He smirked. I opened my mouth to give him some smart ass comment but I thought about what I had said and mentally kicked myself.

"You know what I mean Jack. Don't play dumb with me." I groaned, scratching my shoulder.

"Nah luv. Explain it ta me. I'm not but a humble pirate." I narrowed my eyes at him and stomped away.

"Just forget I ever said anything." I got no response from him, just more laughter. I went below and slammed every door that was open shut. The crew came out of their cabins and looked at me, puzzled. "SOD OFF!" I screamed and went into my cabin, scaring Ana.

"CALM YERSELF!" She screamed, slapping me across the face. I gazed at her, angrily and in a state of confusion.

"I didn't deserve that!" I muttered rubbing my cheek and taking a seat on the bed.

"Ye were raving like a bloody lunatic." I tore my boots off, flung them against the room and pulled the covers off the bed.

"So?" I said stubbornly. She clenched her fists into a ball and grinded her teeth together.

"SO ye were scaring and annoying everyone else." I put the covers over my head, and Ana slipped into the spot next to me. I sat up. "What happened?" She asked.

"I blew out the candle. "Jack happened."

Yay! Finally, an update. Sorry, schools been crazy. Well I hope you liked it though. 
