Chapter 7: Hernandez's secret

Jack, Barbossa, and Magdalena entered the tavern that was said to be owned by Don Hernandez. Magdalena went up to the bar to ask the man about Don Hernandez. Jack looked at her, anxious to know what was being said. She turned around and walked over to where Jack and Barbossa was sitting.

"Well?"

"Don Hernandez has past away taking all his secrets with him, including a map to the fountain"

"Where is he buried?"

"On the island of Biminee, not far from Nassau. He said there are natives there that will protect his secret to the death"

Jack cringed at the thought of dealing with natives. He remembered all too well his last encounter with the pelegostas. They were going to eat him and he barely escaped. He thought "Jack Sparrow always escapes"

"Vamonos, I don't like how they are looking at us"

"Of course love we are pirates and not Spanish, well except for you"

They headed towards the door where they were stopped by a group of Spanish gaurds.

"Mira lo que tenemos aqui. Dos piratas y una mujer muy bonita. Usteded estan abajo aresto. Nosotros aqui detestamos piratas. Ya tenemos el barco y todos lo que estavan arriba, ahora estan en el carcel. Ustedes ahora van directamente alli"

"Maggie, what did he say?"

" He said that we are under arrest for being pirates. They have captured the pearl and everyone aboard are at the jail. We are next to go"

Jack and Barbossa reached for their swords, but it was too late. The soldier had a pistol pointing at Magdalena's pretty little head. They were lead to the jail and put in the same cell with Gibbs, Cotton, Marti, Ragetti, and Pintel.

"Where is the rest of the crew, Gibbs?"

"Jack, they died protecting the pearl. Those Spaniards have no heart. They are as bad as pirates if not worse"

They heard the cell door open and in walked in a very handsome soldier.

"I am Capitan Rodriguez. You all face the gallows in the morning. We do not tolerate pirates here. Rodrigo! Trae la mujer. Vamos a divertirnos"

"No dejame en paz. Jack, help me. He is going to…"

The soldier, Rodrigo grabbed her and covered her screams. She knew that there was nothing she could do without a sword and Jack couldn't help her without a weapon. Jack just watched in fear knowing what the capitan had in store for her. When they were again left alone. Jack turned around looking for anything to help him escape. He went over to the bench where Barbossa was sitting and shooed him off with his hands.

"What are you doing Sparro?"

"A trick that Will taught me a few years ago. These are double barrel hinges. I just need leverage and we can break free"

Jack placed the bench under the bars and with the help of Gibbs, lifted the bars up. They were all very quiet when they escaped the cell. Jack grabbed a candelabra and they went up the stairwell and found a guard sleeping. Jack grabbed his keys and passes them to Gibbs. Gibbs opened the closet where he saw them store their weapons.

"Gibbs, grab one more for Miss Magdalena. She is going to need it"

The soldier awoke when he heard Jack speak. Jack quickly conked him on the head before he could let out a distress call for help.

"Now hurry gentlemen, go get the pearl back. Barbossa come with me. We are going to rescue Miss Magdalena."

"Aye"

Magdalena was pushed into the room that the capitan slept. The capitan came into the room, closing and locking the door behind him.

"Senorita?"

"Senora!"

"Excuse me, Senora. I had no idea you were married. That poor excuse of a captain must be your husband."

She shook her head yes knowing that it would go better for her if he thought her a pirates wife instead of a wench.

"Que quiere de mi, Capitan?"

He walked up to her and grabbed her by her waist and pulled her towards him.

"It has been a long time since I have been with a woman so beautiful. It would be such a waste to kill you tomorrow without tasting you first"

He forcefully kissed her and she tried to push him away, but he was too strong, so she bit his lip so hard she drew blood. He pulled away from the kiss and hit her across the face pushing her down to the bed, knocking her unconscious. He proceeded to tear the dress from her body only leaving her underdress on. He leaned down and starting kissing her neck, when he heard the door being broken down and a thump of a body falling to the ground. He looked up and saw Jack running in along with Barbossa still outside watching for more soldiers if they decided to investigate the noise above them. Jack looked at the capitan and then at the unconscious Magdalena on the bed, only in her undergarments. He could feel the anger building up inside of him. He was jealous. Yes he would admit it. He wanted her and could not stand another man touching her. He lunged forward at the capitan. The capitan grabbed his sword and then began the battle. Meanwhile, Barbossa had started to fight a soldier who had come to investigate all the noise. All the other soldiers had been ordered to watch the Pearl.

Magdalena awoke to the sounds of swords clanging against each other. She slowly got up and saw Barbossa fighting Rodrigo and Jack fighting the capitan. The capitan knocked the sword from Jack's hand and kicked him to the floor. He went to stab Jack with the sword but at the same time he felt a stabbing pain in his back. He dropped the sword and turned around to find a very strong Magdalena behind him holding a sword that was on the wall. He looked at her in disbelief before falling to the ground dead. Rodrigo saw this and ran away from Barbossa before he shared the same fate with his capitan. Magdalena helped Jack to his feet.

"Maggie, are you alright?"

"Yes, now I am. Thank you for saving me"

"No, luv, you saved me"

"Ok, you two we need to go and check on the surviving crew and the Pearl"

They arrived at the marina, where it was quiet. All of the sudden, Jack saw Gibbs who motioned them to come aboard very quietly. The crew slowly prepared for departure.

"What happened Gibbs?"

"I am sorry to tell you this but the rum is gone. The damn Spaniards were drunk and asleep when we found them. They are in the brig now"

"Bugger!, Why is the rum always gone?"

"Barbossa, take the helm. Our heading is the island of Bimini. I am going to check on Magdalena"

As Jack turned around and headed towards his cabin, Barbossa turned around to face Gibbs.

"Master Gibbs, I believe that Jack may have met his match"

"Aye, you maybe right about that"

"Maggie, are you alright, luv?"

"I was so scared Jack. I have never been treated that way. Like un pedazo de mierda. Not even in Tortuga"

" I'm sorry I couldn't save you from that, luv"

She stared at him, not knowing what to say, and at that moment all she wanted to do is be in the safety of his arms, so she ran to him. He embraced her, not saying a thing. He knew now there was no way of escaping what he was feeling. He loved her. He didn't know how it was possible. He had knew plenty of beautiful women in his past including Elizabeth, but he never loved them this way. He did love Elizabeth once, but never like this. This was new to him and he didn't know how to react to this. It was like it was destiny. She looked up at him now, trying to read his thoughts. She was confused. She also knew that she had fallen in love with this captain of the Black Pearl. She had denied it to herself ever since she first saw him on that deserted island. She had used the excuse of wanting an adventure, but she knew now that she just wanted to be close to him. She was drawn to him. She knew that now. He looked in her eyes. He saw them sparkle.

"Jack, kiss me"

He leaned down and kissed her. They kissed for what seemed an eternity. They finally broke from the kiss.

"Maggie, you bewilder me. I have fallen for you, luv"

"I love you too, Jack"
